Recession Survival Tip: A Personal Microwave Can Save You Time, Money and Your Job

Everyday, it seems, the only news is bad news. Stock Market Down. Thousands Laid Off. Americans Gripped with Fear. More Americans Struggling. Recession or Depression? Does it Really Matter? The burning question on everyone’s mind is: What can you do to survive in the worst economy since the Great Depression? The answer is: Invest in a personal or desktop microwave”.

Although it may seem far-fetched to some, a personal or desktop microwave can save you time, money and even your job. The iWavecube, the world’s smallest and first personal microwave. The iWavecube takes up less than one cubic foot of space and fits easily into the tight space of an office cubicle, home office or the open air of the executive corner office.

Save Time

How much time is wasted during the working day? The range of productive time lost in the workplace is somewhere between one and two hours. A personal microwave in a cubicle or on a desktop can cut that lost time in half. For example, at the beginning of the day, those that need their coffee reheated or oatmeal fix will spend ten to 15 minutes to walk roundtrip from their desk to the communal microwave to reheat their coffee or heat their instant oatmeal. At lunch time, the line to heat up lunch from the vending machine in the communal microwave can last anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Time lost during the staff meeting to reheat the coffee mug, once the coffee goes cold, amounts to five to 10 minutes of lost productive time.

Save Money

In the current economic recession “Brown bagging it” should be the norm.” Even though restaurants are offering value meals, there is no restaurant offering that is both less expensive and more healthy than a meal brought from home. People who want to save time and money as well as eat better would benefit most from using a personal or desktop microwave at work to reheat a healthy, portion controlled size meal prepared at home.

Save Your Job

A good stratgegy for keeping your job is to increase your perceived value by your boss. And, becoming more productive than your co-workers is a competitive advantage that can go a long way to being perceived as more valuable. Employees can be perceived as more valuable by working smarter and not harder simply by making better use of the available working hours. A personal or desktop microwave can make you 12% more productive than your co-worker in a 8 hour day simply by reclaiming an hour that is lost to reheating coffee or standing in line for the communal microwave only to see yesterday’s lasagna still splattered on the walls and ceilings of the communal microwave.
