My mother was hard-working, dedicated and loyal, but unfortunately, she put too much faith in a company. Because she never invested in herself through education, savings or developing multiple income streams, she didn't have another career after that, and struggled financially, while going from job to job. <br /><br />The slap in the face came when she received a letter in her early 50s, stating that her retirement benefits from that job would be $80/month. For 25 years of service to a company, all she was going to get was $80 a month. And since she passed away before she turned 55 (54 yrs and 2 months), she didn't get that. Her 16-year-old minor child couldn't even collect. And since she didn't have a spouse who could collect, the money is just gone....POOF!<br /><br />That's why I believe so strongly in looking out for the Lisa Corporation. I learned early in the game that there's no such thing as fair. And the only thing coming early and staying late means is that you lost sleep and time with yourself and your family. I scheduled an 8:00 meeting in my department yesterday, and they staged an uprising.........No, really! They made it very clear that they do NOT get to work before 9:00. And 'they' are department heads. <br /><br />So, if the department heads don't come in early, who's going to notice if you do?Lisa Maria Carrollhttp://www.todayssinglemoms.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
