Workplaces of the future?

Queer honour

Former MFS, Allco Finance and City Pacific auditor KPMG has bounced back from its troubles to claim the honour of international corporation of the year from the International Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

In a media release dispatched to CBD yesterday, KPMG declared it was honoured to have won the gong.

"KPMG has long been committed to making our organisation a great place to work and nurturing careers," one of the firm's partners, Liz Forsyth, said.

Must have been one hell of an after-party. The award was announced in Copenhagen in late July. The audit firm also boasted its launch of what it calls KGEN – KPMG's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Employee Network.

But a KPMG spokeswoman conceded the firm was yet to become a member of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Business Association.

It also appears the firm has yet to jump aboard and help sponsor the Sydney gay community's main corporate business networking event: Fruits in Suits. The monthly event, which attracts up to 300 business people, is looking for a sponsor.

With one of the big wigs making such a step, I'm sure it opens the floodgates to more companies following suit – which in my opinion, is a good thing. Why discriminate against gays and lesbians? They're there to work, not date the office.

And to end off, I thought this was pretty funny. It got noted as the "Best court listing of the week" - Her Tribe Investments Pty Ltd vs His Tribe Investments Pty Ltd. They should just get "married" and become "OUR" Tribe Investments. hehs

7.5/10

Talk about being tight!

It is reported that budget carrier, Ryanair, is in talks with Boeing about adapting its aircraft so that some passengers could be placed in "vertical seating" – i.e. you stand throughout your flight. WTF?

Can you imagine how it would be like taking off and landing? Taking off is less of a problem I think. But landing??? People would seriously topple over. Maybe they would have "stand-belts". Hmm.

And get this, it has also recently suggested that heavy passengers pay a "fat tax" and travellers pay to use its on-board toilets. The "fat tax" perhaps has some argument, but toilets – hello? I'd pee outta the window or into a tin can if I could but unfortunately, I believe toilets should be a basic right to provide.

Money hungry grubbers. Pfft!

A furry protest

How funny is this...

Apparently a group of protestors from PETA have staged a protest outside the Alannah Hill store in Chapel St against the use of fur. Hmm, not sure if AH uses real fur but I doubt it…


Anyways, lucky I haven't bought anything from AH that has fur!
