There's something very desirable about the corner office ... and the paycheck that comes with it.

In January, President Obama signed the historic Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which aims to guarantee equal compensation for men and women. Yet even in the corner office, it seems, women still don't enjoy the same rewards for their managerial performance as men. This year, America 's top-paid female CEOs earned, on average, $3.9 million. Compare this to the men, who raked in an average of $11.9 million.

Organizations such as Safe Horizon have members of their organization, teaching companies about the impact of domestic violence in their workplaces.

Sorry, I think I am "Judgmentally Handicapped" or am I too becoming "Rigid" and who should I blame?

Seriously, am I the only adult/human/one reading some of these "petty" blogs and/or thinking this way; or am I simply just being too "rigid"?

What would happen if we boycotted Wall Street?

When I was in college, I took one of those life-changing classes that completely altered the way I thought about the world. It was called America in the 1950’s, but the discussions were really more about how American society had changed since that time, and the various movements that brought those changes about. One of the major topics in the class was about whether one can really change an institution from within, or whether change has to be effected by outside forces. We spent a lot of time talking about whether a hippie who takes a corporate job with the intention of changing the “old white male” mentality of that corporation could truly maintain his integrity, or whether he was just another sell out who would inevitably become one of the “suits” he intended to change in the first place.

What was never discussed in our class, however, was the idea that you could change an institutional mentality simply by rejecting the institution all together. If women, for example, just said no to Wall Street jobs, then wouldn’t Wall Street firms be forced to change in order to attract women?
