Got a bad boss? Look for the win-win

Of those candidates that land on the recruiter’s doorstep each year a good many of them will be trying to escape the clutches of a bad boss. There’s no getting away from it - working for a bad boss is hell. A bad boss can reduce a potentially enjoyable job to a confidence-sapping imprisonment.

Bleak days yet again for European stock markets. As we write, the FTSE100 has declined for nine consecutive days - a losing streak that has occurred on only six occasions during the past 30 years. The all-time record is 11 days, which may well have been broken by the time this column is published.

The financial markets have been extremely volatile in recent weeks, well reflecting the party-pooping news being relayed by economists and central bankers. However, following several consecutive days of FTSE 100 decline described by Kean Marden in his Recruiter column two weeks ago, there eventually followed a partial recovery in global stock markets, driven upwards by hopes for the ‘Merkozy’ political alliance aimed at stabilising the Eurozone.

Drawing the short straw to write the City Column that covers the last two weeks of 2011 is a little like landing the graveyard slot on late night radio. It shouldn’t surprise any of you to hear that nothing of note occurred in the recruitment sector over Christmas and New Year.

While financial markets around the world continue to balance the ongoing debt worries in the Eurozone against more positive news elsewhere, even including some better economic indicators in the US, the pause in decision making by businesses on a global scale is sending a chill into the GDP figures of several countries.

For most investors in UK-listed recruiters, 2011 was an annus horribilis with the sector underperforming the wider market by close to 40% as sentiment towards highly cyclical stocks succumbed to an increasingly uncertain economic climate. Hays and Robert Walters were notable underperformers, down 47% in the year.

For many centuries, the ‘black dog’ has been used as a euphemism for depression, most famously by Sir Winston Churchill in the Second World War and Dr Samuel Johnson in the 1700s.
