Welcome back to a full week of work...for many of us the mid-week holiday put a kink in our productivity. But, hope you had a great time with family and friends. It was a rocky day on Wall Street to open the week as investors deal with the Fed and tech companies had a tough day. In other headlines:
- Employee unrest at Amazon continues;
- So how strong are the ties to the Chinese military;
- It's about profit says this bank...profit;
- States are actually falling apart and we're not talking earthquakes;
- Employees spending hundreds each month to avoid co-workers;
- Got...gas?

When I sat down with Laura Kinnard from Drake, DMACC and DMBizMixer.com to talk about business networking events happening in the Greater Des Moines Metro I didn't expect to go here. We sort of went off the rails about social media and how, for so many businesses (large and small), it is a frustrating mystery. For example what platform to use, what calendar, what to share, who to share with....agahhhhh. Sorry for the rant but give a listen to that as well as some top networking/education events happening this week.
