New Developments in Miami Open New Jobs
Rightly dubbed the “Magic City,” the slew of newly built high rises and the current ones that are under construction have Miami’s skyline looking like a majestic metropolitan oasis with new neighborhoods buzzing with activity. This astronomical growth has taken tremendous labor and human resource and because of raid development and large transformation in such a short period of time, Miami has become one of the hottest cities for jobs. Below are three of the mega projects that signal a positive change for Miami’s once-slumping job market. 1) Brickell City Centre Brickell City Center is a huge construction project with a value that exceeds $1.05 billion. It is located smack-dab in the center of Brickell’s financial district and has become the largest project in downtown Miami. Brickell City Centre is taking urban living to new levels of sophistication and caters to all residents of Miami, including the highly ambitious, young, and wealthy crowd. 2) Miami World Center Marketed as a city within a city, Miami World Center sprawls over nine blocks and is central to the revitalization of the area and the resurgence of Miami’s job market. With a long line of exceptional hotels, entertainment, retail, commercial, residential, and retail offerings, Miami World Center will transform downtown Miami into one of the largest urban areas in the world. It spreads over 20 million square feet of land that can be constructed over, earning it the title of ‘city within a city.’ The mega project will create new dynamics that will invite massive investments and employment opportunities. 3) Panorama Tower Panorama Tower in Brickell will become the tallest building in the city, although it will be short lived since taller projects are currently underway. Once completed, the mixed-use project will create 208 hotel rooms, 821 luxury apartments, 50,000 square feet of retail with high-end products, and 100,000 square feet of office space for medical services. There is a long list of smaller projects with budgets ranging from $4.2 to over $35 million, this includes Brickell Flatiron, Echo Brickell, Park Grove, Monaco Yacht Club, Okan Tower Miami, and a surplus of luxury condos. All of this development has injected the Miami market with new jobs, making the city, in particular, Brickell, a hotspot for job seekers. New migration trends are being observed. People are moving to Miami in search of better employment opportunities. There are hundreds of multinational corporations like American Airlines, Microsoft, Kraft Foods, Exxon, Cisco, Oracle, Disney, Visa International, Sony, Wal-Mart, and many more to add to the city’s highly versatile job market. Job website Indeed gave Miami the highest ratings, by factoring in important employee metrics such as work-life balance, job security, and job advancements. Other factors the website used include job market favorability and employee satisfaction. “All this means that 2019 is going to be a stellar year for jobs in Miami,” says Ricardo Michelangeli, CEO of RMG Staffing.
5 Challenges Employees Commonly Face
There is little doubt that some people hate their jobs and regret making the choices that led them to being in that particular position. Having to wake up and go to work at a job you hate takes a toll on the mind, body and soul. It creates a toxic mindset and is both unhealthy for you and other employees in the work environment. Overall, this makes for the development of undesirable traits that end up damaging the business; which means you could end up losing your job. Below are some challenges that employees must address if they want to climb up the corporate ladder. 1) Being Irresponsible It isn’t uncommon for workers to shirk their responsibilities and rely on their coworkers to do damage control. This behavior affects the entire workplace’s morale. It can be particularly disastrous for small businesses because a single irresponsible employee can inspire a toxic environment. It can quickly take a toll on customer relationships and cost the business hundreds of thousands of dollars. 2) Not Taking the Job Seriously Some employees deliberately choose to not take their responsibilities seriously. Perhaps they’re making plans to switch careers; or they do not have a real need for the job. Either way, when a person demonstrates little real interest for his or her job responsibilities, it leaves a bad impression on the top level management. Here’s the bottom line: people don’t put their trust in unreliable employees. If the job is so boring, try to identify the factors that contribute to the job being dull , and try to addressed those issues management and/or HR department. At the end of the day, some people are just too entitled to pick up responsibility and are of those who believe that their paycheck should be handed to them on a silver platter. 3) Being Late to Work Employees are expected to report to work on time, which should be fairly obvious. There are exceptional scenarios such as the car breaking down, excessive traffic, late buses or trains, or even a family emergency. It shouldn’t be an issue if the aforementioned reasons cause occasional late time-ins. But chronic lateness because of sheer laziness is entirely a different ballgame. This behavior can significantly hamper a small business in terms of profitability and productivity. So do yourself and your boss a favor and show up on time. 4) The Desire to be “Independent” It is good to have independence at work; you can take on more tasks that don’t require immediate supervision by your boss. Some people take offense to be told what to do and given directions but aren’t that the fundamental principle behind jobs? 5) Not Being Loyal Employees who neglect their job duties and responsibilities and instead have their eyes on the next job are at risk of displaying malicious behavior. They probably don’t need a recommendation letter from their boss and aren’t afraid of costing the business a few thousands of dollars in damages. Company contracts and confidentiality agreements that should be honored whether you’re with the company or have left its fold are of particular importance. Otherwise, it’s a lawsuit just waiting to happen. Being disloyal to your company leaves both parties damaged and exhausted.
What NOT to do at your office Holiday party
We all know how wild a night out can get, especially here in Miami, but at your office Holiday party, you may want to tone down the holiday spirit a little bit. Christmas is just around the corner and you will probably be receiving a notice soon, for the office party. Whether you are a manager or an employee on the bottom side of the hierarchy, there are a few rules you need to follow. We know what you are thinking – Rules? At a party? How boring! Unless you want your party to turn into the scene from the “Office Christmas Party”, you better check yourself before you wreak yourself. Contact us for more information about RMG Staffing or hiring us for your next party or any event in Miami, Fl! So, to prevent you from making any faux pas, we have come up with a couple of no-nos that you should definitely NOT indulge in, no matter how strong the compulsion: Don’t Be the Drunk of the Party Imagine facing the same people tomorrow at the office, after spilling all your beans about a coworker at the party. There is a sure way to embarrass yourself in front of everyone and the path that brings you here swiftly is the open bar. Have you ever met your drunk self? For all you know, you could be a mean, insulting or makes-everyone-cringe drunk. Moreover, when you are drunk, you tend to pass out degrading comments such as: Why don’t you let a little loose because you are really an uptight person? Babe… that dress is bangin’ Your wife is cool to work with… put in a good word for me for that promotion will ya. You get our meaning. Don’t Indulge In Gossip Dan in the office next to you is having an affair but that is none of your business! Whether this is a rumor or not, try to stay away from gossip. These things tend to suck you in and before you know it, you are sitting on a boatload of information, which you can’t tell anyone but if you do, you will be the one in trouble. In fact, if you hear someone gossiping, shut it down immediately. Don’t Spend the Entire Night by the Food Table This is your party, so go ahead and have some fun but not at the food table! Stocking up your plate and stuffing your mouth with hors d’oeuvres makes it quite difficult to mingle. Imagine shaking other people’s hands with sticky or oily fingers while talking with a full mouth. People might see this as an insult and frankly, this is simply rude behavior. Don’t Talk Smack About the Boss This is one of the biggest no-nos that you should avoid at an office party. Negative comments made on the boss tend to make their way to his or her ear pretty fast. Moreover, this behavior is completely unacceptable in a corporate environment. Don’t forget, you are standing on their property and you have the audacity to talk bad about them? Keep Those Loose Lips Shut Talking about your crush or revealing information about others is not something you should ever do at a party. People live for the drama and once the party is over, you will make a lot of people uncomfortable the next day, when they will hear about what you said… and they definitely will! Lastly, keep those inappropriate compliments to yourself. No one wants to hear a compliment that is a part insult. This kind of behavior can be quite damaging for your career. So, be on your guard while at an office part and try to limit your drinks to two. Oh… and stay away from the dance floor if dancing is just not your forte. If you want help staffing your next party or event, RMG can help; contact us.
2018 Was A Great Year for the Food Service Industry

Foods are continuously getting cheaper to produce and with the help of technology, fewer foods are going to waste. When foodservice professionals are able to obtain the ingredients, they need they are more equipped to provide their customers with great tasting foods. Lastly, one of the biggest reasons for the tremendous growth the foodservice industry has seen in the past ten years is due to the rise in popularity of the general public being interesting in trendy food culture. This is all due to social media and the emergence of the foodie culture. 2019 is going to be an exceptional year for the foodservice industry and as we begin to plan for the new year, we don’t see the growth stopping anytime soon.” Aside from foods becoming cheaper to produce and social media’s influence on food culture, another reason why the industry has been growing over the past ten years is that of the continuous improvement of workspace for foodservice professionals.

RMG Staffing Celebrates 10 Years of Providing Great Service
Time definitely flies. When RMG Staffing first started out our office was quite small. You could have counted the total number of our team with one hand. The year was 2008 and quite honestly, it was the worst year for anyone to start a business due to the financial crisis brought on by the real estate bubble of that previous year. But despite the harsh economic circumstances, Ricardo Michelangeli foresaw an opportunity to make money and also provide jobs to a city that was in desperate need of economic recovery. “People thought I was crazy,” RMG Staffing President Ricardo Michelangeli expresses about his companies early beginnings. “And it was very difficult starting out.” According to Mr. Michelangeli the atmosphere of the staffing industry in South Florida was doing as bad as the rest of the economy ten years ago. Events in Miami were few so therefore companies were not looking for staffing agencies to provide them with anything. Also, the hotels were experiencing a great number of low occupancies. Tourists continued to visit the city and its beaches but they were doing so in low volumes. But Mr. Michelangeli knew businesses were eventually going to recover, and he also knew South Florida was missing a staffing agency that operated as a boutique and yet had the networking reach as a large corporate entity. “Getting our first client wasn’t as difficult as keeping them,” Mr. Michelangeli explains. “Though we certainly knew what we were doing, growth requires learning. Problem-solving requires us to think outside the box and in doing so, you have to be honest with yourself. You have to know when to ask for help. You have to be open to making mistakes, which makes it easier to find ways to fix them. We certainly made mistakes in the beginning but because of our passion, the long hours at a small office and our resilience to provide great service to our initial clients we were able to succeed. Look at us now.” In its ten years of existence, RMG Staffing has grown from a tiny office with a small staff to a boutique agency that functions as a large corporation and has a large staff occupying a grand office space in Miami’s luxurious metropolitan Brickell neighborhood. Also, RMG Staffing’s client list has certainly exploded in growth. From small companies to large corporations, hotels hosting cute gatherings to big events, RMG Staffing has provided excellent services to various clients. “I have had the pleasure of working with RMG Staffing as our preferred vendor for over 8 years for staffing needs for our hotel as well as one of our sister properties. Everyone at RMG Staffing understands our specific culture and what we are looking for in service delivery and he or she works to fill the needs properly the first time. Our collaborative relationship makes doing business together easy and effortless,” Jeff Klein says about the company. “Working with RMG Staffing has been an enjoyable experience that I plan on continuing for many years to come.” Ten years and counting and the best is still yet to come.
