Dear Mr. McAdam:
We are a Verizon/CWA family. My husband has worked for Verizon for 20 years with no bad marks and has always made the productivity numbers. We have been proud to be part of a successful company and to be able to live the American dream.
However, our version of the American dream is most likely a little different than yours. We just want to be a family and make ends meet. We have a son who has sensory issues, dyslexia and High Functioning Autism. We live on one income and thankfully, we have been able to stay on one income, because of mandatory overtime.
However, you have forced overtime every week for a year and are now forcing untrained managers to do the same.
Although overtime is great pay,...

Shame on you World Vision.
In this age of Donald Trump proselytizing through a never-ending stream of racist and hateful speech, my ability to maintain a functional tolerance of discrimination has waned to an all-time low. Serving as an elected official in Washington, D.C., and as a leader in the once defining civil rights organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, I patiently advocated and endured through the period of transformation that was necessary to allow America to convert from a Jim Crow directed regime to a more accepting society of covert racism. Trump’s enduring presence however, and emerging revelations concerning the pervasive practice of discrimination within the nation’s largest children’s humanitarian organization, World Vision, affirms the solemn...

Dear Hackney Council, Hackney Homes,Suffolk Estate TMO,
I am writing this open letter with regards to organisations that are supposed to be regulated by the council.
I have had problems with an organisation named Suffolk Estate TMO that is supposed to be regulated by Hackney Council and Hackney Homes and they have both failed to investigate into my complaints so far.
I am a web designer and it all started when I was contacted/phoned by Suffolk Estate TMO to design a website for them.
I met them in person and they told me they had some ongoing problems with their previous web design company they hadn't done a very good job and how they wanted me to setup a new website for them, the manager of Suffolk Estate TMO signed the contract, I designed the website for them everything was...

Dear Mr Fahour,
I am using an Open Letter as you do appear to be very elusive and difficult to contact; mildly surprising as most CEO's employ folk to receive communications from people, filter out the noise and pass on the important stuff.
I am writing because it seems obvious that you are not wholly aware of what is happening at the coalface of Australia Post. It is not working.
Here's Two examples.
One.
I received an email saying I would be receiving a parcel today. In that email was a button the purported to allow me to define a Safe Drop and to not need a signature. I clicked the button and logged in. However, I then got a 'An Unknown Error Occurred'. Oh Dear - especially as I've reported that error a couple of times now and know NO-ONE who it has worked for.

Recruiter’s Everywhere, 1 Recruiter Street, Recruitersville, Recruiterland, R12 X567.
Dear Recruiter, I’ve been working with Social Talent for just over 2 and a half years now. And although I started off not knowing anything about the recruitment industry, what recruiters did, or how it all worked/should work, I now know quite a lot about what sets a great recruiter apart from a no-so-great recruiter. Which is why I now feel now is the right time for me to sit down and compose this open letter to all those not-so-great recruiters out there. But while, I don’t mean to offend any of you with this letter (I ultimately want to help you be the best recruiter you can be), I will warn you that I do have a number of grievances I need to get off my chest! Here goes… Do you really care that I...

Dear Ms. Contreras-Sweet,
I have a vested interest in the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). I've been a small business owner and a small business lender for more than a decade, and I specialize in the SBA 504 loan. Early in my career I learned how powerful the 504 loan can be, with the ability to help small businesses create wealth through commercial property ownership and lower the risk for lenders at the same time. In fact, I even have a 504 loan myself. It's the perfect public-private partnership (as close to perfect as I can imagine), and I decided to build a business that specializes in this particular loan program. Back then, I got a lot of funny looks when I told people I wanted to start a commercial lending firm with only one loan product, and a government-backed one at...

Dear Mr. Minack,
I read an article on Business Insider indicating you are retiring from your position as an investment strategist with Morgan Stanley. Let me start by wishing you well in your retirement.
The article referred to "amazing" investment advice you gave just before you resigned. I am always curious about the advice given by Wall Street pros like yourself, so I couldn't wait to learn details about your "amazing" advice. The article noted that you didn't explicitly give this advice, but you demonstrate why any other investment strategy is "idiotic." Here's the "amazing" advice:
Don't pick stocks.
Don't time the market.
Buy low-cost, tax-efficient index funds.
Realistically, there is nothing "amazing" about this advice. It's set forth in books written by me, Jack Bogle...

Dear Paul:
I was reading your article How Did Economists Get It So Wrong.
Who are these economists who got it so wrong? Speak for yourself kemo
sabe. And since you got it wrong - why should we believe your
discredited theories?
It is a sad fact that whenever something bad happens people
will claim that it means that they were right all along, and other
people will listen to them. A professional prosecutor frustrated by the
fact that you can't beat confessions out of suspects? Wait until
September 11 and try again and this time call it the "Patriot Act." A
progressive who would like to see higher taxes and more government
programs? Wait until there is an economic crisis and call it a "fiscal
stimulus bill." Here we are, the recession is over and we've spent 10%
of...
