How Do You Compare to Your Peers?
|
Situation: You want to know how you are measuring up these days.
Global Knowledge is conducting a salary survey that actually goes way beyond "how much do you make". It asks some pretty detailed questions about job satisfaction, training, certifications, and other things that you might like to know about your peers. As is typical with these things, you can get a copy of the results sent to you after completing the survey. So if you have about 3 minutes, check out the 2011 IT Salary and Skills Survey |
Are You a Hero or a Zero?
| Situation: You like to play games. I rarely plug advertorial here, but this game that CA has produced is kind of neat.
The ‘PPM Hero Challenge’ has contestants navigate a series of PPM questions, So if you have a minute to run around a virtual office trying to solve problems (like you're not doing that now), you check it out. In the end you get to see how you rank against your peers. |

It's sort of a "Everybody knows what everyone else is doing" sort of thing. In theory, there might be some utility in this sort of thing within the context of your work environment. It could answer questions like: What does Joe do all day? or Is Sarah is finishing up that report? After a long hot day of "tweeting" it could also make you a touch more reflective about how you spend your own time. Looking at it as a running logbook or diary kind of makes you think about whether you should have spent an hour chatting in Mark's office or 15 minutes posting to your blog --- oh enough about me. Well at least one tool vendor believes that microblogging is in your future. Yammer is Twitter for corporate types. Here's how they describe their tool. Yammer is a tool for making your organization more productive through the exchange of short frequent answers to one simple question: "What are you working on?" You can use Yammer to:
