Charmin Toilet Paper is as American as Motherhood and Apple Pie.

Bosses..does that make the point any easier to remember?

At least once a month, I get a call from a TV producer or reporter, who is covering a story about allegations of a boss having sex with an employee--with it often times being a consensual relationship.

Whether it's...

The quantity of people losing their jobs is still on the rise. Economists predict the national unemployment number to reach 11 percent (which is such a fake number, because regionally the numbers are much, much higher and don't even reflect those who have stopped looking for work).

I was recently reading on my friend Tory Johnson's blog (www.womanforhire.com). Tory's blog mentioned how she had met Suzie Orman and her "life partner," Kathy Travis ("KT"), at a speaking engagement called the Pennsylvania Governor's Conference for Women.

Last month, just after Vice-Presidential candidate and former Governor Sarah Palin, resigned, I wrote a column suggesting her next career move. As a headhunter, I had suggested that Barbara Walters hire Palin as a "temp" co-host to replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who is about to take a maternity leave.

Remember how...

Have you been working extra hard during these rough times to show your boss you care? Making up the workload gap left by your former colleagues who've gotten the axe? You end up neglecting your friends and family to keep your job only to be told by a red-faced boss...

You are going on the biggest job interview of your life.
