Those alliterative pearls of wisdom come from Melissa Hubler, group leader of payroll & benefits at Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., and EBN’s 2009 VSP “GetFit” Benny Award winner. I recently sat down with Hubler and her four fellow Benny honorees to hear the valuable life lessons the recession has taught them — personally and professionally — and what items they would recommend for stocking a “recession survival kit.”
