Outworking A Recession

With economic predictions growing increasingly dire, smart companies and smart individuals are hard at work on potential fixes. We've already looked at some ideas--bMighty's Fred Paul looks at a US News and World reprort feature and pulls out some ideas for different types of workers and companies.

"If you're new to the company: Come in early. Stay late. Don't take long breaks. Be the workhorse, the person who doesn't complain, the employee who gets loads of work done and doesn't have conflicts with other employees.

If you're an institution at the company: Fight the notion that you're not pulling your weight. Take advantage of the relationships you've created inside the company."

Hard work may not always save you, but it's good training for the next opportunity...
