Sabotage - it's all the rage
Article Abstract:
Industrial crime, in which a frustrated employee becomes involved in sabotage against his or her employer, is becoming increasingly common, according to the American Society of Industrial Security. Employees who are placed under strong pressure by job insecurity and the shift towards more autocratic management styles are becoming tempted to take revenge against their employer. Some take action against the company's computer network, while others use their insider knowledge to defraud the company.

Top consultants are kings. Low fliers crash
Article Abstract:
A career in management consultancy can seem extremely attractive. Leading consultancies offer relatively large starting salaries to graduates, and the working environment, although pressurized, is stimulating. However, it is important to be aware that few people remain in management consultancy beyond their mid-30s. The lifestyle can become very tiring and frustrating, and management consultancy often serves as a basis for a career in industry.
