Dream Job

My dream job would be to win ten millions at 6/49 and spend the rest of my life studying, traveling, and meeting new people all year long. This is of course a total utopia and unlikely to happen but sometimes it is nice to dream... Now back to hard reality! My (realistic and possible) job would be one in which there would be individual recognition, doing a project from a to z, working with positive and friendly people, and with opportunities for advancement. In my opinion, these values are what make people really happy in their everyday work.

Quebec Decision-Making Style Sucks!

In Quebec, the decision-making system is mostly like the American one which is Top-Down decision-making process. The boss gathers in a boardroom with high level managers to discuss of a problem and take a decision on how to fix it. They can also discuss of a new process and how to implement it. When an agreement is achieve, the new rule is forced all the way down to the lower level of workers who carry it on with more or less enthusiasm. It is, I think, a very stupid way to manage a business because it's like a dictatorial regime. It doesn't really care about employees' ideas or feelings. Ruling by fear, doubt, and suspicion; that's what it is! For example, if a low-ranked worker have a great idea, he or she will most likely keep it for himself or herself for fear to get it stole by a superior who will take credit of the new idea. The Japanese style is way much better!
