As It Is When It Was

True Faith HR

Often, a good manager is one that has spent more of his career developing others than being coached him or herself. In the NFL, it is common to see coaching trees develop. Dennis Green, for example, saw a couple of his assistants become successful as well: Brian Billick (won the 2000 Super Bowl as coach of the Baltimore Ravens) Tony Dungy (won the 2006 Super Bowl as coach of the Indianapolis Colts) With that in mind, what does your organization do to recognize talent development? Have you identified those managers who nurture talent that have helped the organization success in other areas?

Doodling

Evil HR Lady

I am in a bind. don't really know what to do. Previously, the HR lady in my fairly small office was nice to me, always smiling at me and saying hi, for about two years. Then, I got written up because we had this super boring mandatory 8 hour staff meeting and I was doodling on some papers that were passed out during it, which I wasn't doing maliciously so much as I was in an effort to stay awake during the 8 hours of sitting still in a hot room hearing about H1N1 and other mind-numbingly boring subjects. Back to her, so that she can deny it and make me feel even more uncomfortable? Honest?

Will my high level connections overcome a DUI?

Evil HR Lady

I have a friend pretty high up at a major company (in sales) who had recently talked to me about submitting my resume for employment. I had to gently remind this very good friend of mine that I have 2 DUI’s, but both are over 5 years old. have since cleaned up my act and hardly ever drink at all. certainly don’t drink and drive! She then took that information and asked her co-workers whether or not I’d have a shot at the position. They for obvious reasons told her that with so many viable candidates with clean records, why would they choose me? Needless to say, he has influence.
