Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Jobs are increasingly going abroad

By Richard Craver

The shadow of outsourcing is hanging over the information-technology department at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.

Reynolds employees were told recently that the company is evaluating its IT division, and that it is likely that some operations will be transferred to a vendor next year.

"We have no idea at this point how many jobs could be impacted," Reynolds spokeswoman Carole Crosslin said. "This decision stems from our internal evaluation of the best options to handle certain processes and service in the years ahead, so that we can continue to help shape the company's growth and success."

Reynolds employees told the Winston-Salem Journal that as many as 100 IT jobs could be affected.
