My project social partner Dave Ryan and I were chatting last week about HRevolution , which sounds like it was a great event. I was jealous but my newborn has very self-centered ideas about my travel availability. Anyway, there seem to be a LOT of HR conferences to choose from these days and some folks seem to attend quite a few of them. So Dave was wondering why and how they do it, which he’s written about over at HR Officia l, and I was wondering who benefits and where you draw the line. Get it? Sizzling bacon?) Do their companies benefit from all the conferences they attend? Way to go, you!

Dear Evil HR Lady, Quick and dirty version, we have a long term employee that is soooo cranky! She talks down to people, demeans them, and everyone, even the executive director is afraid of her. Her superior attitude shuts down all discussion and we are actually supposed to be a really creative and collaborative organization. I was just brought into the true seriousness of the issue and feel she should be let go. We have already lost 2 employees as a direct result of her, and the way she is tip-toed around makes our management look weak. How To Fire a Toxic Employee

Last January , I discussed the detailed tenure and promotion process most academicians go through to move up the limited career ladder. I was being sly (and somewhat disingenuous) in my discussion as I was going through that very process. After 3 (!!) long months, I learned last Friday that my application was supported and I will start the 2011-2012 year as an Associate Professor.

Scripting, behavior standards, commitment statements, kick-off parties complete with balloons and confetti. All of these help launch service excellence programs, but what sustains them? How is it that well-intended organizations can spend so much time and money getting these initiatives off the ground and then lose momentum so quickly? And it shows!! Really? No Excuses. pic courtesy of [link].

Dear Evil HR Lady, I’m in the process of finding a new job which will include a new title. I’m currently a Senior at my company, and will be looking to find a Manager position. How much of an increase should I expect to get for this bump up the ladder? Also how does cost of living factor in this? For example, if I’m currently in Austin, but moving to San Fransisco and the cost of living is 10% more, should I expect my new salary to reflect that increase? What should I look for in a relocation package? Should the new employer help me with the sale of my house?

As mentioned before, Laurie Ruettimann and I presented on "Pop Culture, Politics, and HR" at last weekend''s HREvolution Conference. One of the questions that we posed to the audience was, "what would you do if you learned your employee is a birther?" Would you trust him or her to handle a crucial negotiation or sale based on this initial fact? Member of the John Birch Society? What have you?

"No problem, I can handle it." "I''ll volunteer." "I''d be happy to help." Saying no just doesn''t cut it around here." Ever said these phrases? If so, you know how quickly work can pile up, and how far behind you can get before you even know what happened. hate when that happens, but for some reason there is an unwritten code that leaders have to take on every assignment. Why is that? What is is about American culture (or perhaps corporate culture) that compels us to take on so much work that we risk failure? Or at least we risk being slower than we would like to be in completing our work.
