QuantLib

I’ve been looking for various tools for Quantitative Analysis in finance. I stumbled upon QuantLib.

It’s an Open Source tool written in C++, but it is written with an open object model such that it is has been ported to work with several other languages.

If you are interested, you can download QuantLib and play with some of their examples.

Hire for Fire

Today, just about everything is being outsourced to external agencies. So why not outsource giving people the pink slip, right?

Apparently, that’s exactly what some people do. In an article titled Meet Rebecca. She’s Here to Fire You, Inc.com talks about the business of firing people.

These people can supposedly handle the paperwork to even performing the actual unpleasant act of talking to an employee. It’s an interesting, albeit dark, read.

I wonder what the statistics are on anti-depressant medications in this profession.
