People on the Move in the Social Business Industry: July 16, 2010

It’s only been a week but there’s been quite a few changes, so I wanted to post this before the list became too long. Some big moves, esp Frank at Comcast joining Citi and Dell winning community expert Bill Johnston. I’ve been tracking new hires in this space since 2007, see the archives.

  2. Hi,

    Having the abbility to move between jobs, especially with high unemployment rates, is not something accessible to most of us.
    One needs to have some good credentials and work hard.
    Employees start to be seen as a sheer way of making profit and not treated as people.
