The Tyrant’s New Year’s Resolutions!

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensDecember 19, 2011Leave a comment

Hello, eager readers, and happy merry holidaytime.  In honor of the upcoming new year, many of us will make resolutions to lose weight and go to the gym and spend more time with our families and all kinds of other crap that we won’t actually bother with.  So I’ve come up with a collection of…

Are Your Employees Unhappy Enough? Because They Could Always Be Unhappier.

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensDecember 5, 2011Leave a comment

Woo-hoo! First off, all articles should start that way.  “Woo-hoo!” is a much better greeting than “Hello.”  But in this case, my enthusiasm is well-earned.  Because I just read an article that gave me a few awesome ideas.  It turns out that a 2009 employee survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Managers found…

A Christmas Present for all the Managers Out There

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensDecember 1, 2011Leave a comment

Hey all!  Today’s article is going to be short, but it’s also going to be amazing.  Why?  Because I’ve found a piece of empirical information that should warm the hearts of all the managers out there in Managerland.  Are you ready?  Here we go. One study of healthcare workers found that when employees were working…

Profile in Tyranny: The Guy Who Wouldn’t Hold the Door

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensNovember 21, 2011Leave a comment

It’s about time for another one of these, wouldn’t you say?  Given that I haven’t posted a Profile in Tyranny for a while, you might think that I’ve managed to go a few weeks without running into somebody I’d like to hit over the head.  And you’re correct.  It’s been a good November. Until today.…

Fun Ways to Make Your Vendors HATE You!

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensNovember 14, 2011Leave a comment

Good morning, everyone!  I know you’re not all reading this in the morning, but I’m writing it in the morning, and so I’m saying…wait a second.  Hold on, no I’m not writing it in the morning.  I planned to write it this morning, but it’s actually 1:30pm.  How did that happen?  Where did the morning…

Why Change? Everything is Exactly the Same!

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensNovember 7, 2011Leave a comment

Geoffrey Havens-smith here, and top of the morning to you.  It has come to my attention that many of you have been deluded into the belief that the times are changing.  I’ve heard murmurs – whisperings about town, at the saloon and such – that things today are a mite different than they used to…

How to Become an Insufferable Salesman!

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensNovember 1, 2011Leave a comment

I know, I know – you’re wondering about the word ‘become’ in the title.  You’re thinking, “People don’t become insufferable salespeople.  Salespeople are inherently insufferable.”  But that isn’t true.  Truly awful salespeople are made, not born.  And I’m about to teach you how to make yourself into the kind of salesperson that will make customers…

AOL Book Review and Fox Business Guest Spots

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensJuly 21, 20102 Comments

The reviews for “How to Get Fired!” keep coming in with the most recent coming from AOL.  Geoff Roth, a former TV news manager and current Hofstra University journalism professor, reviewed Jeff’s newest book, which instantly skyrocketed to the first page of AOL Jobs Wednesday.  As Geoff put it, “How to Get Fired!” is a…

Horrible Customer Service 101: The Automated Menu

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensApril 29, 20102 Comments

Perhaps one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century, right behind the flush toilet, is the telephone. And one of the greatest inventions designed to negate any usefulness the telephone might once have had in connecting you in any meaningful way to a business is the automated menu. I will assume that you have…

Sexual Harassment- The Only Thing You Need to Know

UncategorizedBy Jeff HavensApril 28, 2010Leave a comment

That’s right, my boorish partisan, keep your hands to yourself and don’t make extended eye contact. Today I bring to you everything you need to know about sexual harassment, ever. Many companies will provide mandatory sexual harassment seminars, some of which last for hours. This is patently absurd, since there is only one rule regarding…
