The squirrels have accelerated their acorn gathering into hyper gear with the bountiful carpet of acorns covering our deck and lawn.

The only time I remember being really, really nervous when I was speaking in public was when I was 13-years-old and running for student council.

But after years of downsizings and cutbacks, that’s exactly what many employees have faced.
