June Gloom? What June Gloom?
HRCP
JULY 1, 2010
We’ve just returned from a wonderful trip to San Diego for the annual SHRM Conference and Expo. The weather was great! The locals call it “June Gloom,” but I call it perfect: overcast with temperatures in the 60s. (It’s in the nineties here at home today. Plus, we were able to visit with HR professionals from all over the place. HR people are some of the best people on the planet. There was certainly no gloom inside of the convention center. We were delighted to meet up with several of the instructors who teach PHR and SPHR prep classes using the HRCP Program.

Dream Attack
True Faith HR
JULY 1, 2010
One of my favorite television shows over the last few years has been "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The "protagonist," Larry David, always finds himself in socially awkward positions, where he usually exacerbates the situation to comic effect. There is even a Facebook page titled " What Would Larry David Do? " I found myself in a Larry David-esque situation my self traveling back from the SHRM Annual Conference (shameless self promotion - read the blog here ) in San Diego. Like many of the travelers returning home, I was flying solo. Window seats make me feel trapped, and middle seats are the worst.

JUNE 29, 2010
There’s a bit of age discrimination going on with enterprise software, and it’s based on the assumption that older, tradition-bound companies view SaaS with a gimlet eye. Older companies, with all their legacy and cultural issue—the assumption goes—have left the SaaS party up to the young companies selling this newfangled stuff to other young companies with little or no established IT infrastructure

Dear Evil HR Lady, I need your advice. work for a small non-profit performing arts company. I am in an entry level position. My problem is that I share an office with another associate and our manager. people + 1 small space = lots of frustration. My boss tends to micromanage, asking several times a day "what are you working on?" even just after she's assigned me a project. Her mood tends to set the tone for our office - if she's sighing a lot, we'd better shut up and fast, even if we are supposed to be on the phone. It's that palpable. want to improve our working environment.
