- Condo residents get cable buried after months of filing complaints
 Members of the homeowners association of the Raven Brook Condominium Complex in Knoxville, Tenn., had to complain to their cable provider, Comcast, for months before exposed cables were buried, posing a risk for members who didn't want to be held liable if someone tripped and fell. "I think they have hooked up someone's cable, didn't take the time to get their subcontractor to bury it and they've just left it," board member Pat Carson said. WATE-TV (Knoxville, Tenn.)

- Surge in condo's insurance rates angers residents
Residents at the Lady Alexander condo complex in Marathon, Fla., are appealing to politicians to re-examine their insurance fees after they were given notice their rates would increase about 1,300% in 2013. "If I have to pay to cover the insurance increase, plus the fees to maintain the condo, I'd be forced out of the state. People who've gotten loans on their property, they're bound by law to insure their property. Now you've got more of these foreclosures. The ramifications are terrible," resident Sonney Forrest said.

- Do your policies indicate a lack of trust in your employees?
Many companies implement policies that suggest that they don't trust their employees, Liz Ryan writes. For example, they might require their workers to provide proof when they say they are sick or when they have had a death in the family. "If we value talent, we'll start dismantling the lumbering Godzilla of controls and policies that hampers creativity in virtually every organization, and we'll start trusting ourselves to hire people we trust," she writes.
