Has knowing "they aren't the only one" every really helped someone feel better about being laid off? I know people get in traffic accidents every day but that doesn't make me feel one bit better when it happens to me. If that is the only ration…

I am waiting for Frank to say something innappropriate.

I like your wording, Coffee. Its almost cheerful.

My current pet peeve is passive aggressive behavior.

I started reading this thread thinking it was just recently posted and was startled to see my response. I was definitely funnier/more obnoxious then.

I wouldn't get into the analysis of the problem , the cause of the odor, or possible remedies. I think that is the employee's issue to deal with. I would simply focus on the "noticeable odor" and let her figure it out. Unless she raises a medical i…

You tell her "sometimes the odor of your body is too noticeable." I learned that line from the video "The Practical Coach". "Sometimes" is important because you dont want to make a blanket statement. "noticeable" is important because we all ha…

I couldn't find the "LIKE" button for Coffee's last post so I just hit the "REPORT POST" button a couple times.

Our dress code is both extremely specific (we employ a lot of college students and you have to be specific on issues like piercings) and also flexible recognizing that we have different departments within one organization with varying dress code nee…

Actually, my high school mascot was also the Saxons. Its ironic now as 90 percent of the school is Hispanic. You got to love these high school and college mascots. They remind of us a simpler, less sensitive time.

I would and do use "black" when the context is less formal. For a formal context (Application for employment) I would use "African American". Obviously these terms shift over time. Like Frank said, it costs nothing to use the terminology that an …

That is a classic non-denial!

I wonder if Mdodge is the owner of the New Orleans Saints.

I can see why this happens. I think alot of interviewers are looking for confidence which narcissists appear to have. Interviewers are also looking for accomplishment which narcissists are quick to promote. Within the contrived reality of the ty…

If that is all that came up, I am happy with that.

I Googled "insubordination" and up came a bunch of pictures of Frank.

I think as I get older I find myself less willing to jump into situations where the actual parties aren't willing to confront eachother directly.

Joej, welcome to the forum. I think you may need to clarify your question a little more.

What if you suspect an applicant may hold a Canadian perspective, or worse, engage in a Canadian lifestyle?
-
Even asking for an applicant's name is asking for trouble. Think of all the illegal information you can get from someone's name.

Badabing! Badabang! Oregon joined New Joisey as the 2nd state to pass legislation that prohibits overt discrimination against the unemployed in job advertisements. As an employer, I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I think its unfa…

I think if your company name is part of your social media account and you use the account for essentially business purposes you should consider the account the property of the company like you would anything else. We had to face this situation rec…

I think most organizations have a company culture along with multiple "micro cultures" in different departments. The main company culture is a mix of the company's leadership, history, values, philosophy, people, demographics, geographics, etc. …

My theory is that most people arrive in their HR role through a backdoor. Meaning, they didn't initially pursue HR as a career or seek an HR degree in college. I think what happens is they show aptitude in some other role: supervisor, administrato…

I think a more interesting issue is how Facebook can work WITH employers who have legitimate concerns about managing their online reputations. The "employers asking for passwords" fits an unfortunate narrative where employers are creepy and invas…
-
I love these breathless news stories about this issue that fail to include a single actual example of this happening. I think we have invented a new genre: the urban employment legend. "Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) says he'll introduce a fed…

I am only aware of one actual, documented incident of employees being asked to provide their Facebook passwords and that was the City of Bozeman. I posted something about that incident on here in 2009 (always ahead of the curve). The City of Bozem…

What if employers judged applicants based on their forum behavior? Then, I would be in trouble!

To test out this theory I went on Nae's Facebook page. Here are my non-scientific results: 1. Nae is very needy. Her page is covered with "Nae needs a ladder" or "Nae needs some bolt" or "Nae needs wood 2x4". 2. Nae may have a drinking problem. …

This is one of those things that just sounds wrong. It probably actually works but it sounds terrible.
