Here is something that SHOULD go without having to say.
Hey folks,
Our DLA {Display in Logic Award} goes to IAAP. That's the International Association of Administrative Professionals. Why? Because that have used Logic, in determining some that alludes many. They have wrought the curtains or mystery to uncover the truth. That have shared it with all of us.
Yes folks, I know it's difficult to understand the complexities of this, so I will attempt to help you understand. According to the IAAP, the Workplace More Stressful Due To No Raise, More Work
{Laughing} Yes. If you are given more work, and no raise, you may not like it. It may actually be a negative.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to a new survey from the International Association of Administrative Professionals, founders of Administrative Professionals Day, the most difficult aspect of the current recession is that employees are not getting raises. Of those surveyed, 27 percent said they haven't gotten a raise with 21 percent saying their workload has increased. Seeing co-workers downsized is the hardest part of the recession for 16 percent of administrative professionals. Other responses: my company stopped all training (7 percent), my pay was cut (7 percent) and finding a new job (7 percent).
The recession has made the work environment more stressful than before. When asked "During this Great Recession, how are working conditions at your office," 32 percent responded "fair--things are more stressful than before." Of the nearly 900 admins surveyed, 26 percent said "good--with everyone getting along and doing well." Nearly 20 percent answered "poor--morale is low."
Even with stressful conditions and lower pay, most of those surveyed will not seek new employment when the recession eases and job prospects improve. Only 21 percent said they'd leave their job and find a new position when conditions improve with 67 percent indicating they would stay where they are.
According to Susan Fenner, Ph.D., education and professional development manager at IAAP, admins are more likely to remain with their companies in spite of noted hardships because it's a measure of their professionalism. "As a group, they are used to stepping up to the plate and consistently bringing in home runs, no matter what fastballs are thrown their way," said Fenner. "They stand out for being creative problem solvers, exceptional team players, and masters at managing projects."
For decades admins have taken on new job duties, learned new skills, software and expanded the role of an admin. One reason the job of administrative professional is so hard to define is because admins are constantly changing their jobs in response to employer needs, something admins have mastered during this recession.
IAAP is the world's leading association for administrative professionals, with 600 chapters and approximately 28,000 members worldwide.

You know this is a true sto,,,,,, yeah thanks, CONGRATULATIONS IAAP. You are the Winners of the DLA this week. Keep up the good work. OK. This is a true story told to be by a City Government Employee just last week. She asked if a form, and standard daily form, could be changed to make it easier for all. Her answer from the powers that be? "We have a line a mile long of people that want your job." In other words, don't like it, get out.
This is the way a lot of companies look at bad economic times. If there are millions out of work, that means they have millions to chose from, that are desperate, that will work harder and cheaper than your sorry butt that has been there for years. More stressful? You bet.
