Dear Evil HR Lady, My supervisor has about 1/3 of his large staff (50+) on Family Medical Leave (FMLA). They use it intermittently, which means that they are not out for weeks at a time, but, rather, take what time they need when they

I once wrote a post on The Peter Principle , which discussed a study finding that it''s better to promote at random than promote high performers. At the time I was of the opinion that most people would prefer a competent manager to someone selected at random or because they have an executive sponsor. Upon mature reflection, however, I''ve partially changed my mind. Think about it. The result?

In my family, if you weren't working, it had better be because you were dead or at least unconscious in a ditch somewhere. That's why when I started contemplating what it would be like to go without work for more than a year

I'm sure I'm the last person in the world to post this video, but I swear I have seen situations just like this. Oh no! Problem! My favorite part is where they wait for 3 hours to see if it gets better. As a caution, there is a very bad word near the end, which you all know I don't like

Dear Evil HR Lady, My supervisor has about 1/3 of his large staff (50+) on Family Medical Leave (FMLA). They use it intermittently, which means that they are not out for weeks at a time, but, rather, take what time they need when they need it. For the majority, when any of them call in, it is always on a Friday or a Monday and it happens over and over, but nothing is ever done about it. In particular, I have one coworker whose abuse of FMLA and complete arrogance towards any rules goes beyond comprehension. So, what do you do when your coworkers are taking advantage of the system

Dear Evil HR Lady, I recently applied for a Career Counselor/Coordinator position. received a phone interview on a Friday as a preliminary to the in-person. During the conversation the interviewer admitted that it was more of a case manager position. That following Monday the position was retitled and re-posted as a Case Manager. This also happened previously when another agency posted an ad for an Office Manager, and during the interview I discovered that they really wanted an Payroll-HR/Office Manager. Both were non-profits, but is this the normal now? Your thoughts?

Dear Evil HR Lady, I have been on the search for over 8 months. know business inside and out and was once president of a company. I can’t get a job at a lower level. know what I’m doing, but, I’m starting to wonder about “networking.” I wonder, could it just be the new buzzword? Do any of you realize that there are virtually no jobs available in this economy, and talking to those of you have jobs is not going to make more of them appear? We are networking to talk about about potential jobs that are simply not available, in industries that have been shipped over seas. So, Is Networking Dead

I write a lot about pricing strategies because as the CEO of Nobscot Corporation it is one of my most difficult and most important jobs. The reason that it is so difficult is because of the psychological component or as Dan Ariely would say the irrational side to pricing and its affect on purchasing.For me, being not only the CEO but also a co-founder and co-developer of Nobscot and Mentor
