I hope Globe will bring back ImmortalTxt

Ever since the days of missing Globe load, I rarely load my cellphone for fear that they may just “disappear.” Although there were reports that this bug has been fixed, I still do not maintain load credits on my cellular phone.

I tried registering to the Globe unlimited texting feature which is the UNLITXT20 just to save my credits from “load bandit.” However, since I rarely send text messages and I do not really receive text messages, the 24 hours would pass with me not consuming the entire P20 load actually. It was still a waste of money.

That is why I was glad when the ImmortalTxt service was launched.

While it was limited to 50 text messages, it has no expiration date and thus I am not pressured to make send messages just to make the credit worthwhile. Plus, I still have 10 extra load for sending to other networks.

Unfortunately, this service is no longer available. It ended last February 28, if I’m not mistaken.

I really wish this service would be back soon, as it is thus far the only Globe product that I can really appreciate.

How do you put out a fire?

How do you put out a fire? By dousing it with water! That’s right; to kill a fire you simply douse it with water.

Now, how do you kill enthusiasm? Simple, by dousing it with water!

Now why and how, you may ask, pour water on enthusiasm? I’m not really referring to physical water here, of course you know that.

I used the analogy because enthusiasm is like a fire burning within an individual. People doused it with water by simply saying NO! STOP! THAT CAN’T BE DONE!

This is one of the most common management mistakes. Sometimes, an individual comes along with a new or an improved idea. Enthusiastically, he shares to the bosses, very confident that this idea would improve performance, cut costs, lead to better sales or really create big changes within the organization.

How do you keep happy employees?

Would you believe that an effective way to keep your people happy is by firing away the unhappy ones?

Sounds like a joke? Jay Goltz really hoped it was.

Goltz, who owns five small businesses in Chicago, shared his secret in keeping happy employees in the company in the report from Yahoo! Finance.

Admitting that he doesn’t have a Ph. D., an M.B.A. or any economics degree, Goltz said that he had learned through times that you cannot make everyone happy.
