LONDON - Honesty is often said to be the best policy in social situations but being yourself at work is not a good idea for your career, research suggests.

While revealing your true character to a partner or friends is likely to make you happier, experts claim doing so at the office is not a recipe for promotion.

Scientists assessed levels of "authentic self expression" in 533 volunteers to see how far they opened up to people they interacted with socially.

The Daily Telegraph reported that the results showed that participants were more likely to "be themselves" with partners, followed by friends and then parents. However, they were much less likely to show their true self to work colleagues.

Those who opened up to their partners tended to have greater well-being and were more satisfied with life. But the same benefits were not seen from being authentic at work.

Dr Oliver Robinson, from the University of Greenwich in London, said: "You hear self-help gurus say that the secret of happiness is 'being yourself' or 'expressing your true feelings', but that doesn't seem to apply in the workplace.

"So in some circumstances, it may be that a polite smile or tactfully keeping quiet may be more conducive to your well-being than saying what you actually think and feel to work colleagues."

The results were presented at the annual meeting of the British Psychological Society, taking place in London.

Too old to get hired, too young to retire

A friend of mine had his name in the paper the other day.

It was an article speculating about who might inherit a prestigious post in the literary world when the current grandee retires. The article said that my friend would have led the list 10 years ago.

Ouch! The obvious, though unstated, implication is that now he's too old. He recently turned 60. He said he already has his dream job and didn't mind the idea that, because he is 60, some career opportunities have moved beyond his reach. But I mind.

Another friend of mine, whom we'll call "Nick" (because that's his name), is doing something about it: He's suing.

Nick went to Stanford, where he graduated with honours and won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford. After Oxford, Nick went to Stanford Law School, where he was managing editor of the law review. He clerked for the Supreme Court, won election and re-election as Attorney-General of North Dakota, served for eight years, then lost a race for Governor, went on to practice law and served as chief legal officer of several Fortune 500 companies. Then he decided that he wanted to teach.

ONLY TWO INTERVIEWS

If you want to become a law professor, one of the things you have to do is submit your resume (plus a fee) to the Association of American Law Schools. Every fall, the group holds a conference to recruit faculty, at which law schools interview candidates they are interested in. Just about every accredited American law school participates. Two years ago, of 172 law schools, only two offered Nick an interview.

He had no job offers. Good heavens, why not? Was he Attorney-General of too small a state? Did the competition have even more Fortune 500 companies under its belt? Was it that lost race for Governor - the only blemish of failure on his record of success?

Nick suspects otherwise and I suspect he's right: It's age discrimination. He was 60 at the time. Now he's 62. Law schools just do not hire people in their 60s as tenured or tenure-track professors, except for the occasional "adjunct" (temporary) professor moving up or a lateral transfer from another law school faculty.

Imagine how infuriating this must be to an ambitious guy like Nick. Three or four decades ago, law schools were beating down his door. Now they won't even give him an interview.

Of course, every law school will have reasons for a decision not to hire a particular candidate. But 172 law schools and not one job offer? It seems beyond reasonable dispute that age discrimination must be involved.

Not everyone will agree about how big an injustice this is.

You may be thinking: "This guy's a jerk. He's won life's lottery again and again. Instead of filing legal documents all about how his credentials are better than everybody else's, he should be gracious, stand aside, and give some other people a chance at acquiring a bauble or two for their resumes."

PHOTO: My career has stalled, and I feel too old to start over.

Corporate recruiters and human resource departments are carefully trained to talk in code, saying that they're looking for "fresh thinking" or "energy, dedication and willingness to work long hours". You know what they really mean.

SOME QUALMS (uneasiness)

Well, Nick has been a friend of mine for many years, and he's not a jerk. But I do have qualms about his lonely legal campaign.

I don't raise this topic easily or happily. I am one year younger than Nick. Of all the forms of discrimination that the law forbids - racial, gender, sexual orientation in some states - age discrimination is the one that nevertheless goes on most brazenly.

Hiring or promotion to top positions in government and private corporations doesn't even pay lip service to equal opportunity for people over age 60 or so.

Is this necessarily wrong? The United States' Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 begins with a "finding" of "rising productivity and affluence". These are different times.

In today's zero-sum world, someone who sits on a tenured chair or other sinecure is denying a place to someone else, probably younger. Was the law ever intended to protect baby boomers in no particular financial distress looking for a suitable capstone to a successful career?

Of course, Mr Nick Spaeth is entitled to whatever the law entitles him to, irrespective of my qualms or the unusual specifics of his case. But he's much better off than the blue-collar and white-collar workers whose jobs are actually disappearing. The most severe staff reductions among white-collar workers have come in my own industry, the media.

My literary friend, who apparently is 10 years too old for a job now held by an octogenarian, may well be telling the truth when he says it wouldn't interest him anyway.

But remaining gracious as the generations shift is harder than I would have expected. Fortunately, we all get a chance to be victimised by this shift - if we're lucky.

The Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society raised S$5.1 million at its fifth charity show, titled ‘Love All’, yesterday evening. Its target was S$3.8 million. Regional artistes, including well-known Taiwanese rocker Wu Bai and Hong Kong singer Jenny Tseng, belted out hits

during the live three-hour show over MediaCorp’s Channel 8.

Homegrown artistes also chipped in with an array of performances.

Established in 1978, the non-profit voluntary organisation has provided community-based services in social, health, emotional and financial support to the needy.

Last year, the charitable organisation had an annual budget of S$43 million to manage and operate more than 50 charity homes, centres and services, including the Ang Mo Kio-Thye Hua Kwan Hospital. Despite increasing overheads and manpower shortage, the Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society has managed to expand its services.

Recently, it launched three projects, including the Senior Group Homes to help the elderly live independently.

The public can still call donation lines to make their contributions till April 8.

WOMEN, your bras are wanted! And it's all in the name of charity.

PHOTO: Bras support a good cause

Demolition derby driver Ray Tebeck is calling for women to donate their bras to decorate his race car ahead of tonight's meet in Alice Springs. His wife Sam Tebeck is the first to strip off to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Julie Thomsen and the group from Ray Tebeck Auto Electrics want the bras to cover one of their three cars in Sunday's Demolition Derby at Arunga Park in Alice Springs.

The idea came from Anne Twohig, the wife of long-time Demolition Derby competitor Gene Gilby, after Julie put out a call on Facebook for suggestions.

The bra car's driver and builder, Ray Tebeck, said the result of their social network brainstorming "just came out of nowhere, like all great ideas".

The 1996 EF Ford Falcon Wagon will get a coat of pink paint before being covered from head to foot in bras.

The group is hoping to win the "best dressed" category, with proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Julie is the mother of Junior Sedan driver Jack Thomsen, who recently raised more than $4000 in the World's Greatest Shave.

She recently lost a family member to cancer and said the bra idea was just another way to help a great cause.

If Derby favourite Tebeck wins tonight he will donate the $1000 prize money to the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Petticoat Lane lingerie shop owner Clarice Kimlin is offering women who donate to the cause a 25 per cent discount on their next bra purchase at her Todd Mall shop.

Participating bras can be dropped off at Ray Tebeck Auto Electrics or at Battery City in George Crescent before Sunday morning.

We wouldn't recommend wearing your stilettos as a bra but here's Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden stripped down to her knickers for Fabulous Magazine.

It's okay though it's all in the name of charity. Amanda was snapped nearly naked to launch the magazine's Heels that Heal campaign in association with women's health charity Wellbeing of Women (WoW).

She joins the likes of Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole and the Prime Minister's wife Sarah Brown who will all be auctioning shoes on eBay.

People will also be able to bid for a series of exciting experiences including afternoon tea with Rachel Stevens or a shopping trip with Miss Holden.

The auction hopes to raise £500,000 to help young women dealing with chronic gynaecological issues such as PMS endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.

As well as the stars shoes, women can bid for a shopping trip with Amanda Holden or afternoon tea with Rachel Stevens.

Mind you I think plenty of men would get the cash out for that one.

Masks and costumes are usually reserved for the movies or parties. but recently, “superheros” have taken to the streets of the Beijing to donate to the poor.

One superhero is a woman, going by the name of Chinese Redbud Woman (北京紫荆侠), was inspired by a Hong Kong version. She wears revealing tight clothes and a blue mask.

The Sina microblog home of the website dooo.cc talked about the obvious flashiness of the “superhero”:

Why does the Chinese Redbud Woman need to wear revealing clothes when she is doing charitable things?

This kind of self-promotion, can be seen as sex charity. However, compared to charity organizations that are corrupt, it’s not harming anyone.
