If I could leave you with one thought today, it would be this: You are a work in progress. Rather you're trying to get a job, starting a new career, in mid-career, or thinking about retiring, you can never write the ending to your story

There''s an interesting discussion going on over at my new friend Laurie Ruettimann''s Punk Rock HR blog regarding the death (or not!) of HR.It''s interesting that for some reason people evaluate HR based on the performance and job duties of the clerks in the profession. It''s as if people think the role of HR is keeping track of vacation and holiday time or posting rules in the lunchroom.

The Compensation Cafe has recently published some great posts on how compensation professionals can make the best of tiny merit budgets. It''s all good stuff and I have nothing to add except this poem: Dear Employees, This year’s budget is pretty lame But we still all have to play the game. Be sure to complete your performance review Although there may be nothing in it for you. Calculating your bonus don’t need a math whiz Just close your eyes… and there it is!!! Not so much. That’s just for top performers, which you’re not as such. Now that’s what we call talent management.

My first real job was with Andersen Consulting ( Accenture today, not the Enron one ). Now, you may disagree with me, but although I''ve worked with and for a number of great companies since then, to this day I look back at Andersen as a model of Talent Management. Recruiting: AC''s recruiting process was really good. Their recruiters had refined the job descriptions and identified the core traits of people they were trying to hire. Fancy that! Applicants were given an opportunity to AC employees from staff consultant up to partner, giving both sides an ample opportunity to sum each other up.

My question is regarding a relocation pay-back clause. accepted a postion with my company that involved moving from CA to TN in February of 2009. The company gave me a lump sum (after tax) of $10,000 to cover relocation and moving expenses. Since that time, I've decided that my long term goals don't align with my company's any longer. I'm looking to leave and actually have a new job opportunity on the table that I'm seriously considering. With this in mind, here are a few questions for you: 1) Is this for real? Would a company really demand that I pay the relocation back? Do you? Him: Right.

On Friday night I had a delightful conversation with Jared from Human Resource Executive Online. He asked me what HR blogs I read regularly and I had to (gulp!) confess that I don't read too many of them. It's not because I don't love you all (I do! really do!) it's just that discussing the nuances of the implication of card check legislation makes me feel like I'm on a tedious conference call at work. But, I realize that most of you are much more entertaining and informative than that. read Ask a Manager , Clue Wagon and US News' On Careers regularly. Then we'll know
