Management Bits and Tips

Some people cling to their jobs unwilling to move on because of the possible redundancy payout accumulated over years. They just afraid of loosing it when moving to a new job (bit). Consider job hunting companies that offer a sign off bonus. As a fraction of your possible redundancy package it can ease your departure. Alternatively divide your minimal redundancy package into the number of months, for example, the length of a probation period, and add this to a new compensation when negotiating with your potential employer (tip).

It is impolite to attend a seminar, lecture or training course and read a book there (bit). Use touch-style e-readers (but not Kindle because it is too associated with books) to write notes and you can switch to your favourite pages during breaks (tip).

I recently bought Sony e-Reader PRS 600 and although its screen is a bit reflective compared to Kindle I like its tough capabilities especially when I need to quickly double-click on a word to see its dictionary definition. Reflectiveness is usually not noticeable under a sunlight when I commute. At home in the evening, when reflection is most noticeable, on a sofa I prefer to read a real hardback/paperback book.
