Were you ever fired from a job? Just the thought is chill-inducing. Fired, it means failure, finished, foolish, and a lot of words that are meant to be esteem-downers. That’s how it was for Tory Johnson when she was a twenty something and on the rise in corporate America. Within one hour she had fallen from grace and was out on the street. Fast forward to today.

Guest post by Amy Abrams ( learn more about Amy at the end of this post). When I started my career almost twenty years ago, I wanted to find meaningful and creative work, make a good living and eventually have a family. Oh, and did I mention I wanted to travel, take time off when I wanted to and not have anyone tell me what to do? At the time, it sounded like a fantasy.

Post by Jane K. Stimmler , contributing Women on Business writer. There’s been a great deal of buzz lately about Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, who was recently fired. Her apparent fondness for “salty language,” as it has been described, has been a big part of the conversation.

It is often thought of as a lengthy document, meant to map out every possible second, expense, possible issue your business could encounter…ever. As times change, so does the business plan, and many people are now proponents of the one page business plan.

HP has made some controversial decisions lately, but is Meg Whitman a great strategic move or the kiss of death for this once great tech company? HP announced Whitman’s appointment on September 22, 2011 but given the public comments, customers seem to think it’s a bad choice. It’s my stance that HP usually leaps before it looks and I am not sure that I am sold on Whitman as the new CEO.
