If all the celebrity back-patting during award season makes you sick to your stomach, luckily there's a panacea: the 33rd Annual Razzie awards, created in 1980 to "dis-honor" the worst films and performances of the year.

Sandler sets worst-movie record with Razzies sweep

People are hurting and so far, recovery has been slow. Unemployment figures announced recently do little to assuage that. You may be thinking what does this have to do with me? I have a job. Well, now -- more than ever -- it's important you do all that you can to keep that job. After all, it makes more sense to make yourself a valuable employee in your current job than to go out and try to find a new one in this dismal economy. With this in mind, I asked my friend, a small business owner, about the things she absolutely hated to hear come out of an employee's mouth.
