Charmin Toilet Paper is as American as Motherhood and Apple Pie. Speaking of Motherhood...I remember my own Mom... watching her "stories", while ironing..."stories" was the word at that time, that ladies called their favorite soap operas... and Mom always chuckling when a Proctor & Gamble "Charmin" commercial came on the...

Robert "Joe" Halderman is the former CBS News Producer, who worked on the CBS show 48 Hours.

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.

Orman is a lesbian TV personality who...

In the 90's, the expression "think outside the box" was the mantra, and it followed us into the new millennium. However, in 2009 and 2010, less new jobs will be created. So, you can think "outside the box" all you want, but if you don't have a job you might...

Are you unemployed, but your wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend, or other family members are not? Are your parents driving you crazy with the questions, and every night your mate comes home wondering what you were doing all day while they were carrying the load for the whole family?

Readers always ask me, "When should I take a buy-out?" or, "When is a buy-out worth it?"

Before I answer their questions, I always need to know the following factors: How old are they? How long have they worked at the employer offering the buy-out? What are they planning to...

I am from a town called Armonk, in NY State's Westchester County. While growing up there, Armonk was the Global Headquarters of IBM. At that time, IBM was considered the Google, or Microsoft of today.

Armonk was a corporate town with several country clubs, and was down the road...

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.

Here is my fictionalized version of my phone ringing. Who is it on the other end of the line but none other than my pretend friend, Sonia Sotomayer, calling me, Stephen Viscusi, America's Workplace Guru,...

This past Sunday, the political news shows and even the New York Times were all about Sarah Palin's next career move. Everyone seemed to be guessing as to what her next job was going to be and why she resigned the job she had.

That's where I come in....
