UNISON welcomes West Sussex jobs move
UNISON has welcomed the decision to “insource” admin jobs at the West Sussex multi-agency safeguarding hub that deals with children and young people. Administration at the hub is currently covered by a county council contract with Capita.

Google Just Made a Big Move in Its War Against the iPhone
Google announced on Thursday that it would pay $1.1 billion to acquire certain employees from the Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC.

If you take a look at the world’s smartphone landscape, the market is clearly divided between Apple and Samsung. Apple’s iPhones account for 12% of global smartphone shipments, while Sa...

While Attorney General El len Rosenblum represented the state, she outsourced much of the work to Dave Markowitz and his team at the Portland law firm he…

Selling Bagels Off A Greek Donkey Could Be A Better Idea Than Looking For A Job At 57
Years ago ― before husband, kids, houses and pets came along ― my friend Cindy and I were enjoying our last day of vacation on a black sand beach on the Greek island of Santorini when a sun-weathered old man approached us selling cups of fresh fruit off his donkey. “How much for two?” I asked in the international language of finger-pointing and other gestures.

But instead of lowering his price as I expected he would, he plopped himself down on the edge of my sun lounge...
