A daily look at life on the job by TIME's Lisa Takeuchi Cullen
You know the economy is bad when...
...the toilet seats at Google are no longer heated.
That's from the entrepreneurial guru Guy Kawasaki on his blog, How to Change the World, in this post titled "Top Ten Ways to Tell If Things Are Really Bad." Which inspired me to look around for other bloggers' indicators. You know the economy's bad when...
...the toothfairy stiffs you (WhiteCoatRants).
...a mega-million lotto winner takes the annuity option (Whatever).
...rich people cut back on Botox (CBSNews).
...strip clubs offer gas cards and the local Hooters goes out of business (TheCaffeinatedLibrarian).
Things are bad when even sex doesn't sell. Add on your indicators, friends.
