We spent 3 days in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. You didn't even know it was a Grand Duchy, did you? Well, you do now. There were castles, of course, and cool tunnels under Luxembourg City, but this post is about sinful vending machines. This is a picture of one of the vending machines in our hotel. See if you can spot the "interesting items" it offers. Sinner. Did you spot them? I'll help.
Working and Walking – Where Are You Going?

OCTOBER 16, 2009
Working (hard) is much like walking. Where you walk matters. Walk on a beach and you see vast expanse of the sea. Walk in the park and you can smell freshly cut grass. Listen the birds chirping early morning songs

Recent ReviewSNAP Enhancements
ReviewSNAP
OCTOBER 13, 2009
Recently we made a few changes to ReviewSNAP regarding automatic notifications for upcoming and past due reviews as well as automated reminders sent to managers to leave feedback on their employees. Both enhancements are completely optional and can be modified in the Manage Company Information page. As part of the change for the automatic notifications, we have added more intervals and now allow you to select which intervals you would like the notifications sent out for. This is to help ensure strong communication and documentation within the company and the most accurate reviews.
The Hazards of Being Dependable
Evil HR Lady
OCTOBER 15, 2009
I am a production manager at a trade org/not for profit. love my boss, who is a great guy, but not the best manager. As long as things get done, he’s satisfied, but procedures and work flows have suffered. About 80% of all projects cross my desk. I can get anything done and I pride myself on being very capable. The problem is no one sees me as a manager or leader, just another worker bee. My boss has often praised me and told me he’d fight for me. But it’s been 2 years since my last raise and I’m getting very unhappy about my role and my compensation. Ouch, I know. But consider the possibility.

Co-worker evaluations

I work for a large company. Every year we are asked to fill out evaluation forms, supposedly anonymously, about our coworkers. Our Manager picks many of the people who fill out the forms about us; although most of the Managers let the staff pick their own people to fill in their forms. We are cautioned not to pick friends, but to pick people who will be honestly critical. The end of the form has areas for narrative writing about areas of strength and weaknesses. Since we basically know which people are filling out the forms on us, we usually can figure out exactly who wrote what about us.
