Working Girl
SEPTEMBER 9, 2009
This isn''t the first time I''ve blogged about celebrities and human capital management. In my post about Non-Monetary Benefits , for example, I discussed the motivational benefits of hiring celebrities as managers instead of just normal people.

Today, I live in Switzerland, which is not quite so close and I'm ashamed to admit I didn't think about this day as I should have. It wasn't until I got home from German class, around noon my time and 6:00 a.m. East Coast Time, that I checked my Google Reader and was reminded. failed to remember.

How Painful is Your Workplace?
Nobscot
SEPTEMBER 10, 2009
According to an interesting set of articles on pain in the Scientific American Mind September/October issue, we all experience pain uniquely. For some people, the volume has been turned up on their pain channel which causes them to experience pain sensations to a greater degree than others. Other people have normal pain reactions but are blessed with creating natural opiates that hide the
Talent MANAGEment
Working Girl
SEPTEMBER 11, 2009
A cynical person might describe Pay for Performance like this: Management pretends to have a bevy of rewards that are earmarked for top performers and employees pretend that their daily activities are aligned with corporate goals and that their performance was instrumental in helping the company meet them. But I''m not cynical. Let''s face it, it''s human to want to put your best foot forward and ''Pay for Performance'' has a much better ring than ''Punish Medicrity'' or ''We Have No Money This Year But Thanks For All Your Hard Work.'' Heck, anyone can do that.

Bizarre Interview
Evil HR Lady
SEPTEMBER 10, 2009
I went through the weirdest interview yesterday. interviewed with a panel of managers. The managers had five key questions. I was told at the beginning of the interview that they had received 200 applications and that staffing used the resumes to select 25 qualified people to interview. The hiring managers were not part of the initial screening (this is an HR related job so they were all in HR) and did NOT want to see our resumes so that they had no biases towards the candidates before the interviews. They asked us a total of 5 interview questions. find this utterly bizarre. don't get it.

Email Etiquette

SEPTEMBER 9, 2009
An Auckland accountant was sacked for sending "confrontational" emails with words in red, in bold and in capital letters. Now, I don't happen to think termination is a proper consequence for sending e-mails in all caps. think beheading, or perhaps execution via firing squad would be more appropriate. For first time offenses, I think we can agree that the person should be put in stocks in the company cafeteria where everyone can laugh and point at the offender. All right, in all seriousness here the company made a HUGE (see, all caps, I'm shouting at you) mistake. Now, I feel for the lady.

E-mail Time Wasting
Evil HR Lady
SEPTEMBER 9, 2009
I work for a rather large company. friend of mine, who was an hourly employee, got fired for inaccurate time recording. However, she had worked there for around 9 years, did a very good job and was loved by all. She got a new boss who took issue with the way she reported her time and was fired pretty much without warning. In investigating her, they found that there were 4 other employees that she emailed with on a daily basis. Two employees have been reprimanded. I was one of those employees and have received a reprimand for excessive emailing. Needless to say, I am really upset about all this.
