KEEPING A JOB

I read in the Tampa Tribune recently a list of "do's" in order to keep a job these days. The article I read was from Joyce E. A. Russell in a "special" to the Washington Post.

Among the recommendations were: Ask you manager for his/her goals; Work hard; Be a good "citizen"; Be on time. There were a couple more, but let these suffice.

Dumbfounding to this reader were: 1. That such a "special" could be sold to any newspaper for money. And, probably explaining, is 2. Why would anyone need such/em> obvious advice to "keep a job." What, pray, would a job-acceptor do otherwise to "keep a job"?

D. B. Tuthill, M.D.

The rubric over this article was, "Take the initiative to stand out at work" I knew things had deteriorated, but are we that bad off already?
