Halliburton Employees Take $6M in
kickbacks in awarding Iraq Contracts 01/23/2004 02:22 PM
"They get unfairly maligned simply because of their past association with me," said Dick Cheney in a Fox Radio interview. No, I think it's the graft and corruption but that's just my opinion. WSJ reports that Halliburton Employees Take took $6M in kickbacks in awarding Iraq contracts. In every {war|conflict|police action} I'm sure there's been some amount of war profiteering, but this really takes the falafel. There was so much controversy surrounding this war that this finding brings into question the whole Bush-Cheney-Halliburton Old Boy Network. Check out all Halliburton news at Topix.net.

It's Buy Your Employees A PC Day In The
UK 01/19/2004 12:52 PM
Over in the UK they have some complicated regulations concerning incentives for helping companies help their employees buy computers. They're trying to make it easier with a set of guidelines that make the system clear. Companies can get a nice tax break for buying their employees home computers, which the employees can pay back over a three year period out of their salary. There's no indication in the article as to what happens if the employee leaves the company before the full amount has been paid. This seems like a good idea - assuming that it's the employees' (and not the employers') choice. Of course, some may cynically suggest that this is just a good way for companies to get their employees to keep on working while they're home.

Don't Just Spy On Employees, Bill Them
As Well 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
While many studies have shown that spying on employees tends to make them less motivated and less productive, that still hasn't stopped any number of companies from coming out with tools to help show just how much you distrust your employees. The latest, however, goes a bit further than the usual reports of just what various employees have been doing while surfing the internet. This one tracks exactly how much time and bandwidth an employee uses on various websites so that an employer can bill the employee for that time. Do you think the companies that install this will also bill the employees for the amount of water they drink out of the water fountain? Maybe the wear and tear in the parking lot from driving their car into it each day as well would make sense. It's not clear why this needs to be repeated so often -- but such micromanaging of employees doesn't tend to do much good. If an employee isn't getting their job done, that's an issue that should be taken care of. However, monitoring what they're doing every minute of the day -- and then even stooping so low as to charge them for the time, is a plan that's only going to backfire. Hopefully, the first employee presented with such a bill will turn around and present a bill to the employer for any phone calls or emails handled at home as well as the time, gas and depreciation expenses of driving to work each day.

Companies step up monitoring of internal networks: Interesting article. If the hackers don't get you, your own employees will.

Executives don't want a repeat of what happened at America Online, where a former employee was arrested in June for allegedly stealing 92 million screen names and selling them.

Or at credit-software company Teledata Communications, where a former employee in September pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges of stealing the financial identities of tens of thousands of people.

Tracking Employees, Shocking Them

Tracking Employees, Shocking Them 09/24/2004 09:54 AM

CNet has a story up about the growing trend within corporations to use GPS-enabled phones to monitor and track employee whereabouts which features this lovely quote from Sanjay Shirole, CEO of one of the firms that makes the tracking software:

"There's no electro shock--yet," Xora CEO Sanjay Shirole said.

Ha ha, nice one, Sanjay! The only thing classier than creating a technology that will eventually be used to tie workers into virtual corrals - I'm not joking, it's in the article; called "geofences" - is to make a joke about using the system to abuse workers. Hilarious! Now that you've cracked wise about it, Sanjay, we can certainly rule out any possibility of it ever happening in the future.

Employees Still Want Stock Options

Employees Still Want Stock Options 01/26/2004 03:29 AM
During the boom years, people were giving up high salaries to take jobs where they received piles and piles of stock options, believing that their dot com lottery tickets were guaranteed to bring them insane wealth. While it worked out for many people, many more ended up with nothing more than a lesson in the downsides of risk. You might think, in these "back to reality" times, stock options wouldn't be as big a draw any more, but that turns out to not be true. Employees still want stock options - and it's for the same reason that stock options were originally created: to give the employees a sense of ownership in the company they work for. While most admit that it doesn't change their day-to-day behavior (and it shouldn't), it does make them more loyal and more likely to keep track of how the company is doing overall. It's just that most people don't expect to cash in their options a year after joining a company and retire to travel the world.

Looks like XM has sold out to the man. The RIAA says they had nothing to do with the removal of the XM PCR which when couples with computer software allowed users to record streams of music and other programming onto their computers.

This is another knee jerk reaction. We will see how long XM Radio stays in business now. What a bunch of idiots. [ZDNet]

The folks over at slashdot are predicting XM-OCR conversion kits being on the market shortly as it would not take a rocket scientist to mod a regular XM receiver. [Slashdot]
