One way was the variable or rolling method that is used to minimize or avoid the stacking of leave.

A reader writes: I have a question about respectfully disagreeing with your boss in meetings. My boss is director of communications for the hospital, but I serve as the spokesperson for media during crises. When something happens, all the leaders, including my boss and me, will meet to make a plan of action. It’s not often I disagree with my boss, but sometimes I do. I am not so conceited that I think I am always right, but I think it is valuable for my senior leaders to know that there are other approaches to crisis communications. It caused a little tension between us.

Years ago, I attended a training session where the instructor said that he knew participants we’re “getting it” because they started asking questions. It made sense to me. Whether the questions happen during the actual training or after the session, questions can be an informal gauge of training interest. Of course, that’s not the only training metric or measurement. It is possible to do both.

Company B asked me to let them know if I receive any offers while they are waiting on the management team to make a final decision. emailed Company B and told them that Company A made me an offer. Now Company B is asking to see my offer letter. (I didn’t share the amount with them, so they’re not looking for verification of anything I told them.). Is that normal? It makes me really uneasy to forward a copy of my offer. No, it’s not normal. Please help!

The bureau has in recent years awarded several million dollars to state and local governments to study the development and implementation of family and medical leave programs. The suggestions also may help inform the national conversation about leave, DOL said.

To understand the crap that HR and TA Tech vendors do and say to get you to buy stuff you might not need, want, or will use. The interesting thing about these presentations is that half the audience turns out to be the actual vendors themselves wanting to hear what it is I’m telling the real HR and TA leaders!
