  Liking your work

  After reading the email, I was hoping for a bit more content on this subject. Bit hard to comment on such a dearth of information

  Four secrets

  I was expecting a wonderful article - not a book promotion.

  WHAT THE HECK!! I was expecting an enlightened article and only found a link to Amazon. I expected more from Bnet than shilling for an author or Amazon.

  It's truly a secret

  Was there suppose to be something in the blank space between the text and title?

  I agree. Why not at least list them. If you did I might follow up and look at the book on Amazon....not now.

  It isn't an article, it's an audio clip...try clicking the play button!

  Great advice, very much common sense, but we all need reminders to look at how to improve our situation without just looking for a new job.

  Really expected more that a promotion about a book that ... if promoted in this way is probably not worth me considering to purchase

  NOTE: CLICK "PLAY" FOR AUDIO CLIP

  If you can't see the audio player (if there's a white space between the headline and text), try refreshing the screen.

  Oh I get it now

  I thought the audio player was an ad for some reason I automatically ignore banner ads.
  
  But the audio is really good. Lots of good information. Also, I've discovered that you can search the contents of the audio by typing words into the search box.
  
  I could skip over stuff and get to what was most useful to me. I tried 'skills' and 'learning.'
  
  I didn't even know I could do this.
  
  Nice work BNET, this is a great time saver. Do more of this.

  Excellent advice, which I wish I'd had last year when I quit a really well-paying job. I've sent for the book!

  Wasting my time

  Bnet is now on my black list. If you have become nothing more than a gateway to Amazon, then no thanks - I can go there directly when ever I want. I don't need to waste my time in Bnet!

  It is sad that Bnet is devaluing its currency by just showing book marketing instead of substance against a heading - please change this cynical approach or you will lose subscribers in droves - we can see through this stuff easily.

  Regretfully, judging from the other postings, not all of us can see or activate the audio clip. I suspect this may have to do with our respective firewall/filter settings. Although I applaud BNET for using an audio clip, I recommend that they consider that not all can use that medium. Suggest providing both audio and text in the future.

  Four secrets to liking your work

  I'm an avid reader of BNET but this is really annoying. We're not supposed to post advertisements but you just spammed my inbox for a book....what gives??? BOOOH BNET

  RE: Useful Commute: Four Secrets to Liking Your Work

  I was extremely disappointed. I did not expect this to be a promotion for someone's book. A paragraph or two as a teaser
  might motivate someone to consider buying the book. Now I'm not
  interested, especially after clicking on the book title and being
  directed to Amazon.com to purchase.

  Useful Commute?

  Did BNET really check this out prior to its being posted? BNET if you want to keep the membership do not send more spam or you will be receiving at least one request to be removed from your list--MINE!

  Useful article

  Useful in terms of learning: "never get excited about every good link sent to you in an email".
  
  Bnet must know the difference between articles and ads.

  Note to BNET editors

  You should have referenced the audio link in the test of the article.
  
  The audio link did not immediately capture my attention, since it was in a box similar to an advertisement. I overlooked it. Apparently many other people did also.

  BNET IS RESEARCHING THE BUG

  Thanks for your feedback, everyone. It appears that several of you were unable to see the audio player in this post. That problem has been resolved, but if any of you are still experiencing issues, please let us know through the link I just added to the post or through the Site Help & Feedback link at the bottom of this page. We'll add a similar note to future podcasts so we can get problems resolved as soon as we hear about them. I went back and added an "In this podcast" note as well, to further cue readers that there should be an audio player if they're not seeing one.
  
  We really appreciate hearing your concerns and comments. Many of our Useful Commute guests are book authors, and when we promote these podcasts, we always aim to promote of the content we're offering, but also to make it easy for you to find out more about the book. Many of you thought we got that balance wrong with this one. We're going to use your feedback to tweak how we promote future podcasts. As we try out some different approaches, please let us know how we're doing: what works, what doesn't, what you'd like to see more of, etc.
  
  Best,
  Nicole Solis
  Managing Editor, BNET

  Very much interesting! It gave insight about the employees perspective and that of the Manager. If only people can adapt these perspectives, I think their value for work would increase very much so!
