Think about the last time you needed plumber or a technician. Did you call up and ask, “What’s your hourly markup?”. Heck, it’s that time of year where you may be hiring a landscaper to put down several cubic yards of fresh mulch. When you called, did you ask, “What’s your markup?”.

You read that right, sexual harassment is technically legal in France right now. The decision made by France’s highest constitutional body to repeal their sexual harassment law leaves alleged victims without legal protection until a new law is created. They also threw out all pending and ongoing sexual harassment cases. So if you were in the middle of suing someone for sexual harassment, your case has been dropped.

Ok everyone is commenting on the Time magazine cover, and since nothing impacts staffing more than the availability of talent we need some voices here too. First things first. CNN claims the kid is a three-year-old. If so, I predict a great career in the NBA for him. Just think, a 9’ 5” center going up against Dirk. With that kind of advantage, even the Timberwolves have a chance at the title.
