Business World To Men: ‘You Suck. Have A Raise’

A libellous new study has found that women make better career decisions than their male counterparts, which also comes in light of the news that men are more likely to be victims of the recession.

If you are a woman, you probably don't know that this shiny stuff is called 'money'.

According to the study, women take fewer professional risks (19% versus 26%), but are more likely to make informed career decisions (47% of women versus 41% of men).

Perhaps this would explain that shameful Apprentice final.

However, fortunately for men, despite their more poorly advised career decisions, there’s still that ever-widening pay gap. God bless the pay gap.

Ryanair Learns That Very Low Prices + Bad Economy = Very Low Profit

You-get-what-you-pay-for budget airline Ryanair has fallen into its first ever loss, reporting a €169m ($239m) loss last year.

This is what a plane looks like.

The deficit, the first in their 24-year history, was mostly blamed on rising fuel costs, with Ryanair claiming their costs rose by 59 per cent in year up to the end of March 2009. 

This loss came in spite of an 8.4 per cent increase in annual sales upon the previous year, overtaking the passenger numbers of high-fliers such as British Airways and Air France, Ryanair said.

This was certainly good news to Chief executive Michael O’Leary, who predicted that the his company’s profits would increase to between  €200 and 300m in the current financial year.

News of the loss is expected to shock everyone who failed math or has been living under a rock and is unaware that the financial apocalypse has dawned.

Clueless Women Given Talking to by Proper Businessmen

Helpless women in Northern Ireland were given entrepreneurial business advice today at the 2009 Business Advice Forum. The aim of the event, sponsored by Invest NI is to support female entrepreneurs with speeches from business advisers from various fields.

Women have trouble coping with manly business advice.

Among those present were employees of BT and Manley’s and Time Associates, covering topics such as branding, cashflow management and online marketing strategies through social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. 

Christine Boyle, the chair of Women in Business, expressed her delight at the attendance levels for the event. However, the mood was somewhat damnpened when several women had to be removed from the event after suffering brain overloads from the sheer amount of business-related information they were required to absorb.
