Friday Feature: Would you like fries with that?
Posted by: | CommentsAs part publicity stunt and part economy booster, McDonald’s is planning on hiring 50,000 employees on April 19th. Yes, you read that right. 50,000 employees hired in one day. You can read more about this feat here but from an OD and HR perspective, can you imagine the paperwork, training, etc that will have to be accomplished in order to do this??? Bravo to McDonald’s for supplying jobs in this economy right now, but I have to say I do not envy your HR department right now.

FridayFeature: Freedom Playlist
Posted by: | CommentsHere we are again with MonarMusing’s FridayFeature, where we pay tribute to all the grueling work you handle throughout the week. Rather than assailing your eyes, this week we target your ears. The following are tunes to blast as you drive your car away from the office at 5PM, ready to enjoy your two days of relative freedom.
Monar’s Top 5 End-of-Workweek Tracks
(Click the images to reach the links.)
5. The Who, “I’m Free”
You can’t argue with The Who, especially when Roger Daltrey’s first words are “I’m FREE.” Short, sweet, and to the point.
4. ‘N Sync, “Just Got Paid”
A bit of a teenage throwback, ‘N Sync gives a homage to your Friday paycheck in a capella. Apparently it’s akin to throwing a large party and checking out “fine young ladies” that look “fly.” If only our salary was so powerful.
3. Europe, “The Final Countdown”
This one is better saved for 4:55PM, if your boss will allow a celebratory mind-melting right before you’re let out of work. Think of the last five minutes as your “Final Countdown” before the weekend.
2. Franz Ferdinand, “Take Me Out”
You’ve worked hard this week. You deserve to be taken out. Franz Ferdinand’s hit is just catchy enough to convince you to engage in a little rabble-rousing.
1. Loverboy, “Working for the Weekend”
No, dear readers, we were not going to end this countdown without a shout-out to the most emblematic end-of-workweek song out there. If you know more lyrics than “EVERYBODY’S WORK-IN FOR-THE WEEK-END,” then you’re either duly impressive or duly without a social life. Either way…turn the volume up.
Update your iPods, MonarMusers. We’ll see you next week.
FridayFeature: Negotiation Tactics from the “Best”
Posted by: | CommentsWe’re back with MonarMusing’s FridayFeature, where we allow you to coast into your weekend. Today we bring you excerpts from various television shows and movies to demonstrate some faulty negotiation tactics.
(Click on the images to reach the links.)
OFFICE SPACE- Stand your ground. Don’t be passive.
THE OFFICE: Don’t rely on Wikipedia to tell you how to negotiate.
CARSALA COMMERCIAL: Sometimes, psyching yourself up isn’t enough.
ENTOURAGE: Playing hard to get doesn’t just work in dating.
Enjoy the weekend!
FridayFeature: Lessons from “The Office”
Posted by: | CommentsFridays on MonarMusings are our FridayFeature, where we provide you readers with a more whimsical post to wind down your workweek and lead into your weekend. This week we present Lessons from “The Office:” Dos and Don’ts from Michael Scott and the gang. If you have any ideas for future FridayFeatures, let us know!

DON’T prank call your own employees.
DO look out for your fellow coworkers.
DON’T resort to violence.
