Sweetest Day, Friday morning in downtown Willoughby, a driver in a white SUV saw the sign that says “Roses, $ 15” and shouted to the people Wearing Purple Willoughby varsity Lions, “Why pink?”

“Sweetest Day tomorrow,” one of the Lions responded.

“Aw sht*,” said the man, realizing he had forgotten.

“Pull around and get a dozen,” Leo suggested.

“How late you are here?”

“Up to 18 hours,” replied the Lion.

“I’ll be back,” he said as the light turns green and he hunts.
Sweetest Day rose sale is a major fundraiser of the local club of the year, Willougbhy Lion Bruce Hutton said.

Much of the money they and other groups to go to Lions help people with visual impairments.

They set the dogs, to help sponsor an eye clinic of St. Vincent Charity Medical Center and give money to FIRSTSIGHT, the mission of Lions Clubs International to build systems of eye care in underserved communities.

“Many people we are helping young students, students from elementary age. Many of them need help with their eyes more, “said Hutton.

One of their guide dogs in training, Victor, joined the Lions on Friday. He played in the bed of the truck that held their supply of flowers.

Though the Lions began in Chicago and spread to Asia, Europe and Africa, their mission to help the visually impaired began in Ohio.

In 1925, Cedar Point, Helen Keller urged a group of Lions to be “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.”

The Lions will continue to sell roses on Saturday in the center of Willoughby by Wes Point Park while supplies last.

Hutton added that the Lions Willoughby also sell carnations on Mother’s Day.

When Is Bosses Day 2010, In this year Bosses Day 2010 is October 16. This year, it means that unfortunately falls on a Friday, which means that if you want to “grease the wheels”, just do it tomorrow.

Bosses Day 2010 is the 52nd anniversary of the event, which historically began in 1958. According to Wikipedia, Patricia Bays Haroski registered “National Bosses Day” (often, and probably more accurately called “National Boss Day”) with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. Ironically, his boss was in fact his father. She chose October 16th as the day because she forgot the birthday of his father, who was at that time.

Official proclamation of the National Day of employers in 1962
Four years later in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed registration; the day was officially proclaimed as such by that date. However, despite the fact that bosses Day 2010, as happened earlier was accused of being a “Hallmark Holiday.” Despite this image, not Hallmark card offer Bosses Day sale until 1979. On the other hand, the size of its National Boss Day line was increased by 90 percent in 200

In addition, while you might think that bosses Day 2010 is a good day to, ahem, “grease the wheels”, as we noted above, most say that if you want to give your boss a gift or map, it is preferable to a group. Otherwise, it will be obvious that you are trying to curry favor with your boss. Reportedly, the advice came from none other than Emily Post.

One possibility is to propose a group lunch. Bosses Day since 2010 is a Friday is a good day to think.

If your group has a good relationship with your boss, you can even see in the e-cards. 123greetings and places like American Greetings (yes, Hallmark) have a selection, you can look through.

BOSS S DAY 2010, A replica of surprising economic downturn is now so far employers, with nearly half (45 percent) of workers in the United States indicating their relationship with their boss has been affected by the recession, according to the latest survey Staffing Services Spherion Snapshot. In addition, those who say that there relationship with their boss was affected, 74 percent of these workers say the recession has eroded their relationship with their boss negatively.

The 2010 Boss Day survey conducted by Monster on behalf of Spherion Staffing, also found that over a third of workers (34 percent) say they are somewhat or very dissatisfied with their relationships with their boss.

Bosses offer little support in career development, with great harm to their workers

Not only do many employers unable to support the career development of their employees, in many cases they impede their progress. The study found that 38 percent of workers said their boss is somewhat or very indifferent when it comes to their career development, with 27 percent saying that the attitude of their boss about their development career has changed since the recession.

More worryingly, nearly half of workers (45 percent) say their boss has taken credit for their work, and another 37 percent say their boss has “thrown into the bus” to save himself / herself.

Erodes confidence in the Moguls

Many workers believe their bosses have not been completely honest and frank about job security, and in many cases feel little respect for their manager. The study found one in four believes that his boss is somewhat or very honest about their job security, and more than half (53 percent) say their boss does not respect them as the professional equality.

And, many employees lack confidence in discussing sensitive issues or unethical with their managers. The study showed 46 percent of workers say they do not think they can freely and openly discuss issues of unethical work with their boss and 44 percent say they can not confide about labor issues sensitive or confidential.

“At a time when workers are probably added support and guidance to offset the uncertainties that come with a faltering economy, many employers are simply not stepping up to the plate,” says Loretta Penn, President, and Spherion Staffing Services. “Managers need to create an environment that promotes open and direct communication, provides full support for workers, and demonstrates the commitment to career development. Unfortunately, many employers today are simply not carrying out this responsibility. ”

Workers have little admiration, respect to employment patterns

Perhaps the most surprising of all, only 34 percent of workers would accept employment if they were offered with a full 40 percent say they would not accept their bosses’ bosses for their jobs. When it is the job performance, many employees feel they can do better.

According to the study, 44 percent of employees feel they could do a better job than their boss, and 61 percent believe they possess qualities better management of their boss. This may be contributing to the shortage of loyalty to their bosses. When asked if they wanted to join their boss if they move to another company and had the chance to join them, 43 percent said no and another 35 percent said they did not know.

“The relationship between supervisors and their employees play an important role in job satisfaction,” said Penn. “With nearly all aspects of labor market and the workplace on shaky ground, companies can not afford employ workers uncommitted or login turnover costs rose -. Two very unlikely if they remain dissatisfied and disheartened by their bosses’

Methodology

The October 2010 Spherion Bosses day labor survey was conducted online within the United States by Monster Worldwide, on behalf of Spherion Staffing Services between September 29 and October 7, 2010 among a sample of 231 U.S. adults work, aged 20 and older. Respondents represent those invited to participate in the survey, which includes full and part-time workers.

All surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, the coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, Monster feels the use of “margin of error” is misleading. Anything that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities pure, unweighted, random samples with response rates of 100%. These are only theoretical because no published polls approaching this ideal.

Respondents to this survey were selected at random from those who agreed to receive communication from Monster, so no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
