I’m sorry for my extended absence from this blog. I plan to be much more active on here moving forward. CNN ran a great quiz this week that I thought was worth mentioning on here. It’s the “Is Your Boss a Psychopath” quiz. LOL. And what better way to get back into posting! They ask you ten [...] Is it me…or when the Federal or a State Government extends unemployment benefits…does it just cause people to want to stay at home longer? Allow me to explain… I realize, in this economy, that a lot of people have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. And I have no problem with them receiving [...] It isn’t too often that I can tell you a story like this. So enjoy it, because in this economy, situations like this are far and few. For one of the vendors that my company works with, I’ve had the same account representative for six years. She does a very good job. She is high [...] As an experienced and proven recruiter, I’ve often said that some of the best hires I’ve ever made have been people who I went out of my way to recruit, because they weren’t looking for a new job at the time.

The former waitress, Jessica Webber, claims that the Wards “created a hostile workplace” in [...] For some reason, I found myself thinking back to my first day in the corporate world today. I was a young 22-year-old who knew nothing about HR, other than what I had read in a textbook. After a few minutes of getting settled at my desk, my boss asked to see me. When I walked into [...] Believe it or not, there are a lot of companies out there that have HR people, but don’t use them. For example, I often hear stories about companies who have Operations, not HR, handle the employee complaint process. Here’s a recent example that I encountered. An HR friend was interviewing for a job and called to ask my opinion [...] Throughout my career, the one phrase that has always driven me crazy is, “I also do HR.” Normally I hear it uttered by an Accountant or someone in Operations who has to take care of the HR work too, because their company doesn’t employee an HR person. Unfortunately, that is nothing more than an insult to [...] Does your company have a blogging policy? If you don’t, it’s long overdue. HR Morning had a great article on this today as a matter of fact. You can read it here. Anyway, in the modern era where employees use Facebook, My Space, Twitter and personal blogs frequently, it would be strongly advisable to have a [...] |
