What A Bad Boss Means To You And Your Health

We've all had a bad boss at some point in our career, ranging from incompetent to arrogant, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know bad bosses can make the workplace (and your life) a living hell; but what, if any effect do they have on your overall health?

The good folks over at Docstoc put together a nifty little article that breaks down the effect bad bosses have on the workplace, global economy and perhaps most importantly -- your health. Here's an excerpt:

"The easiest consequence of bad management to spot is its toll on productivity. Retaliatory slowdowns are bound to take place, as is an overall lack of motivation, which will further deplete production. This is evident in Inc.’s study, which asked workers how they respond to bad managers:

33% don’t put in maximum effort
30% slow down or purposefully make errors
29% take sick days despite not being ill
27% hide from their boss
25% took more or longer breaks

Each of these rates are at least three-times the rates of respondents with “non-abusive” bosses, which is a testament to how detrimental poor management is on both workers’ morale and their quality of work. And the fact that workers chose to go these routes instead of bringing to light their concerns means these acts occur on a daily basis without the boss knowing or getting a chance to rectify them."

#AmazonCart: Amazon & Twitter's Brilliant New Way To Shop

Shopping via social media will become the wave of the future thanks to Amazon and Twitter's recent partnership. The two companies joined forces to bring Twitter users a new way to shop while tweeting.

Suppose someone tweets a link to an Amazon product you're interested in, by simply replying to that tweet with the hashtag "AmazonCart" that product will be sent to your Amazon shopping cart, it's just that simple. Before you start going #AmazonCart crazy, here's a couple things you need to know first.

You'll need to have an Amazon and a Twitter account. You'll then to connect the accounts to each other (to do that click here). Here's a little more information from Amazon's FAQ page:

"Why do I need to connect my Twitter account?
By connecting your Twitter and Amazon accounts, you are telling Amazon that #AmazonCart requests coming from your Twitter account should be added to your Amazon.com Shopping Cart. Without that link, Amazon would not know to which customer’s Cart to add the item. To edit your connection preferences, visit your Social Settings or opt out of having Amazon respond to your #AmazonCart requests here (your accounts must be connected in order to opt out).

Am I buying it when I reply with "#AmazonCart"?
No, replying with "#AmazonCart" will only save the item to your Cart. You can always review or edit your Cart at a later time. You will also receive a reply tweet from @MyAmazon describing the status of your request (e.g., whether the item was successfully added to your Cart, if it was out of stock, or how you can finish checking out later).

Who can see what I’ve added to my Cart?
Most content is public on Twitter, so your #AmazonCart replies will be visible to whomever you replied, to those viewing the conversation, and on your own Timeline (unless your Twitter account is set to private)." source
