Other Work Related Blogs (again)

I thought I would bump this up because I added a new work related blog.

Since I'm very new at writing this blog, I like to look for other people that are writing this space. I'm primarily looking for bloggers. I found two that I will link to on an ongoing basis.

A = The Gig

Summary - This blog is for Generation Y as they experience the work world.
Opinion - Nadira Hira is covering a group that is mostly ignored in the other blogs I read regarding work - Generation Y. Which is somewhat ironic because blogs are a tool of Generation Y. What I really like about her is that she encapsulates Generation Y. She is young and going after it. Her writing is unintimidated, relevant, and opinionated. It is a blog I will read frequently.

B = The Bing Blog

Summary - Stanley Bing is a Fortune columnist and best-selling author of business books noted for their wisdom as well as their sharp, slightly acrid sense of humor. He is also the only writer on business and the workplace who still puts on a suit and tie and goes to do battle with the dragons that breathe fire at corporate America every day. This blog captures what remains of his brain after it has exploded in all other directions.
Opinion - The writing style is straight to the point, pull no punches good. It seems geared toward a male reader, but maybe that is just me. The website is set up with a lot of information available but not in a boring way. The tags are great too. There aren't many adverts either. I highly recommend this site.

C =  Work in Progress

Summary - Lisa Takeuchi Cullen is a New York-based staff writer at Time. She writes about workplace, business and society trends for the magazine and Time.com. Of late these trends included snooping bosses, teen interns and cubicles of the future.
Opinion - Her writing style is similar to mine. We both want to comment on books, recent news, and our analysis of both. She uses stats to reinforce one way or another. She provides some advice, but doesn't come off as the know it all. I recommend her site (after reading mine) for general macro level HR issues. The website does have probably one or two too many adverts and probably should subscribe to the less is more theory. I do like all the other blogs though.

D = Train Wreck

Summary - Steve Tobak is a marketing consultant and former chip industry executive. Over more than two decades of management and behind-the-scenes interaction with high-tech's elite and their legendary egos, he has seen a pattern of dysfunctional behavior emerge. Train Wreck provides irreverent insight into the real inner-workings of technology companies and their management. When he's not airing the industry's dirty laundry, Steve likes to hang around the house, make believe he's working, and drive his wife crazy.
Opinion - His writing is more like Stanley Bings, but not as in your face. It appears to be a little generic in topics (qualities of potential executives and ethics), but it does a good job of going over the topic. Its a little on the technology side, but not much.
