Better Business Bureau Serving Southwest Idaho & Eastern Oregon Blog

MSNBC carried a story the other day that said difficult economic times are making some bosses meaner. To be sure, the economic news is challenging. Some companies are adjusting, changing, even transforming to new financial challenges. Some bosses and managers are taking out their problems on their employees. Maybe you are looking for another job or an extra job to make ends meet more smoothly. There are many ads now that promise high returns for work at home. All you need is a computer to make $250,000 at home. Some companies appear to offer jobs but are in reality executive preparation businesses that offer training in job hunting and resume writing to enter the “hidden job market”. So, if you are pursuing that new job, career or just a part time money maker, remember that the BBB has information about many companies available online at www.bbb.org. Before calling or committing, check out the company and its record of business practices. Also, BBB Accredited Businesses are good employers. They meet the high standards of ethics and trust. And, good luck !
