I've been writing on this...as to what it tells about their attitude toward their customers. I suspect that such managers would still try to create a culture of trust, if only as a sort of window-dressing (i.e., marketing and human resource management tool). Nice blog!

]]> Comment on Don’t rush college–take your time by Bret Simmons http://totaltrust.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/dont-rush-college-take-your-time/#comment-7489 Bret Simmons Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:18:27 +0000 http://totaltrust.wordpress.com/?p=1684#comment-7489 Great advice! Also remember to not let others make you feel bad because at 22 you don't know yet what your life direction might be. Accept yourself and what you are today, but whatever you are doing, LEARN from it and continue to prepare yourself for the day when you do find your direction. I did not find mine until I was 35, but everything I had done up until that time had both pointed the way to and prepared me for my dream job. Great advice!

]]> Comment on When is it okay, and not okay, to touch someone else in the workplace? by Ted http://totaltrust.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/when-is-it-okay-and-not-okay-to-touch-someone-else-in-the-workplace/#comment-7487 Ted Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:37:14 +0000 http://totaltrust.wordpress.com/?p=1628#comment-7487 Human contact in the workplace is impossible to eliminate. People touch each other in many different way through various forms of contact. However, inapporpriate touching or contact that is delibrate for personal gratfication or pleasure is always wrong and nonprofessional regardless of culture. Because of individual's personal background, actions are often viewed from their own experience. It's best to avoid potential problems and possible lawsuits by being as professional as possible and compliant with the policies that govern human relationships and conduct in the workplace. I've worked a number of years in organizations where touching was a part of the culture it was challenging commanding discipline and efficiency in the workplace.

Just to throw that out. Another quick thought: Is divorce so bad? There can be so many stories buried in the raw number. How many are women leaving abusive husbands who would have stayed a generation ago? How many are due to women who outearn their husbands? We may be better off if we could identify what about divorce is a negative and which divorces are associated with those negative outcomes.
