Here's a round-up of a few must read/see/view things that you guys might find interesting.
* So you discover a lot of irregularities in your company and you just can't stomach it anymore. Your boss and a couple of people that you work with just happen to have very questionable values and ethics. So what do you about it? You submit a copy of your resignation letter to The New York Times.
* How apropos. Sorry, Lance Armstrong.
* The most misunderstood economist? Adam Smith.

UPDATED: Why GOOD EMPLOYEES Leave?
Got this from a friend's post on Facebook:
A study came up with this surprising finding: If you're losing good people, look to their immediate supervisor. More than any other single reason, he is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he's the reason why they quit, taking their knowledge, experience and contacts with them. Often, straight to the competition.
"People leave managers not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman. "So much money has been thrown at the challenge of keeping good people - in the form of better pay, better perks and better training - when, in the end, turnover is mostly a manager issue."
If you have a turnover problem, look first to your managers and supervisors.
Beyond a point, an employee's primary need has less to do with money, and more to do with how he's treated and how valued he feels. Much of this depends directly on the immediate manager.
To the person/-s that made this study: THANK YOU!

Overheard on a tv show: Success starts with good people. Amen.

The "Must" List: Muppets against Romney? LOL.
Here's a round-up of a few must read/see/view things that you guys might find interesting.
* So, there's Sesame Street Diplomacy and now there's US presidential candidate Mitt Romney going after Big Bird during his first live debate with incumbent president Barack Obama. Who knew that these muppets could wield so much power and influence?
* Thanks, Patricia Evangelista, for telling us what the future could look like with Sen. Tito Sotto as the King of Cyberspace. God save the Philippines.
* Roger Federer being, well, like Roger Federer:
* And I've missed you too.
* Anna Wintour is a big fan of tennis. She's also a big fan of Homeland. Who knew that we had a lot of things in common?
* Team Nicki Minaj or Team Mariah? Let BuzzFeed help you decide.

* Roger Federer being, well, like Roger Federer:
"I think he's done so well," Federer added. "His reaction was amazing after not winning Wimbledon against me.* Novak Djokovic dancing Psy's Gangnam Style. Tennis is so cool.
"Then coming back to win the Olympics and bringing the victory home for his first Grand Slam at the US Open was great to see.
"I was very impressed and I'm sure that's going to give him confidence for what's to come.
"How me, Novak and Rafa - whenever he comes back - and the rest of the players will play will have a little bit of an impact.
"But, overall, Andy has some control over that himself now."
* And I've missed you too.
* Anna Wintour is a big fan of tennis. She's also a big fan of Homeland. Who knew that we had a lot of things in common?
