Can we ask you for a favor?

Quick favor? This is an anonymous reader poll about your company's hiring plans in 2013. (You don't have to be in charge of hiring. It's for everyone).

We'll return the favor by answering the long, boring survey that your doctor gives you, leaving you free to sit and read your Highlights magazine.

1. What type of firm do you work for?

2. In 2013, will your workforce increase, decrease, or stay the same?

3. We know some of you can't be constrained by multiple choices. And that's cool. Use this box to sound off. Give us your opinion or explain your answer. (Note: For this section, we'd be interested in publishing your thoughts. If that's all right, please include your name and contact info.)
