Evil HR Lady

I don't hire people; haven't hired people in years. But, I can still tell you that it's important to make sure what you send to someone who does hire people is tailored to that particular job. I was reminded of this when I received an e-mail from a public relations person who wanted me to promote a book. know that this person did not tailor his e-mail to me at all for the following reasons: 1. He just starts out with the text. No salutation including my name. Dear Evil HR Lady, or Evil HR Lady-- or even, Hi Evil! which always cracks me up. Otherwise, he's never actually read my blog.

This seems to be the ultimate secret of human capital management. You may think you know this, but do you really? If you look at any financial statement you will see debits and credits, which in turn represent assets and costs. That''s the secret of accounting, by the way. Most assets become less valuable over time. Again, nothing mysterious happening here, if you buy a new SUV (shame on you!) it will depreciate the microsecond you drive it off the lot because now it''s: a) used; and b) already outdated. Our economy hinges on this so it''s pretty important. Heady stuff, huh?

Have you ever been fired, demoted or reprimanded and had no clue that it was coming? When the boss gives you the bad news you just want to laugh and ask if you''re being Punk''d, but unfortunately you know that is not the case. It probably feels like someone just dropped an anvil on your chest and you wonder what you did to deserve this. That is inevitable.

First I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your blog. like your straight forward answers and sense of humor! My question to you is what should a new graduate like me do to get into the HR world? little bit about me: I’ve graduated with my BA in psych in 07 and will receive my MBA in Sept 09. I’ve also gotten a HR Certificate. I’ve worked as a recruiter for about a year at a staffing agency and found that sale was not something I enjoy. I am now working as a HR administrator for a local company. Every job I look requires experience! Please help! Second, you do have experience.

I have a question about dui and job prospects. know people really do look at your criminal records. Well, my friend is still an undergrad in college right now. He was hoping to get into engineering for the city (so a government job). But just recently he was charged with a DUI. He was wondering if this recent DUI will affect him very badly? would employers just throw the resume and application away? what impact can a DUI make on job prospects? how do you guys view that? Yes, it will affect him. Your friend is an idiot. have no sympathy for people who drink and drive. I'm not a lawyer.)

Extension to a Good Post on Performance Management

ReviewSNAP

JULY 22, 2009

This morning I read a good post on Renegade HR called "Create a Performance Management Culture The Ghandi Way" and I want to extend my thoughts on this approach. All too often companies do their reviews once a year and forget about the employee''s development until next year''s reviews come around. Then when it comes time for next year''s reviews the managers rate the employees similar or identical to the previous review and their development plan looks no different than the previous year''s. This is beneficial to the company in a couple of ways.

Performance Incentives

Employees that have performance incentives as part of their compensation package need to earn their bonuses or other form of incentive compensation. In some organizations, incentive compensation is too loosely tied to performance and payments are made regardless of performance. This sends a very bad message in terms of accountability. When performance does not meet the minimum requirements for payout under an incentive compensation arrangement, there should be no payout. Company Performance Compensation Employee Performance
