<p>When your mate is fired (even if the company let two hundred people go the same day), it's a slap in his face, and the impact radiates outward, assaulting,. your sense of security, as well as your hopes and your dreams and your plans. All that was once known and predictable is now upset. From the moment he is fired, your life is dramatically altered.What happens to your routines when your husband is suddenly at home all day, instead of at work? How do you help him when your own fears and worries seem so overwhelming? What will his dismissal mean for your own activities, career or educational plans?There is no way around it: when they fired him, they slapped your face, too. That is the injury. The insult is that nobody seems to notice.The company has probably never acknowledged your contribution to your partner's work, and most likely, no one has even thought about offering assistance to help you cope with the effects of his termination. Most of the attention and sympathy extended by others is directed toward your mate, and there is no doubt he needs that support. Yet few people, perhaps not even you, recognize that his crisis is your crisis. To all intents and purposes, you have been fired, too, but your hurt and confusion are somehow imperceptible. Hence the terrible isolation that so many women feel when they are caught in this situation.</p>

I've Been Fired, Too!: Coping With Your Husband's Job Loss

Jukes, Jill and Rosenberg, Ruthan

<p>In Odyssey, Pepsi to Apple, John Sculley tells his story of working at Pepsi and then as President at Apple. Sculley was at Apple from 1983 - 1993 as CEO. The book was written in 1988 while Sculley was still Apple CEO. This book was written by a CEO that is actually willing to openly discuss Apple's strategy in detail, unlike their current CEO. It's a good read if you're into management, organizational cultures, Apple, and Steve Jobs as a leader and personality. The most interesting parts of the book involve, you guessed it, Steve Jobs. Sculley seems to take pride in his role in removing Jobs from an operational role within the company while maintaining him as a figurehead as Chairman. Shortly after, Jobs left Apple to start NeXT, taking some of Apple's best people with him, while Sculley was CEO. Other highlights include: ■Sculley creating the Pepsi Generation campaign that vaulted Pepsi above Coca Cola in market share for the first time ever ■Insider accounts of what it was like to be an executive at Pepsi and Apple, two very different corporate cultures ■Sculley's obsession with the Japanese ■Some good Silicon Valley anecdotes - conversations with Bill Gates, Bill Campbell, Mike Markhula, Del Yocam, and Esther Dyson ■Perspective on how to run an organization and deal with challenging personalities ■In the epilogue Sculley shares his vision for something called "Knowledge Navigator". What he talks about is what has emerged as the Web with Google as the dominant search engine. Good call there, he must have been listening to Alan Kay. Apple has always stood for the individual. Sculley tried to steer it towards the Corporation, but since then it has continued to focus on empowering individuals through the use of technology and content. This book will give you more insight into what makes Apple unique and how the company dealt with the turbulence of the mid-80′s.</p>
