It's about what to do in terms of attempting to reign in someone working for you (or with you) before you need to call in HR. While this doesn't build on my previous HR post, it compliments it nicely (or at least I think so and as the blogger that holds only as much water as you allow it).

Home. Safe. Chinese Food Ordered. Zzzzzz...

The second in my series "Screw Ups Happen," we talk about recovering from one (non-temper related). Please take a look.

The latest (Im)Perfect Manager is up. Today's blog post is another Xtranormal video where the boss is an idiot. Please enjoy learning about neutral and emotional language.

I once told Shawn he was not allowed to go out with women with strange names anymore...it just ended badly every time. I relented when I found out your name rhymed with mine.

Pain in top right abdomen returned this morning around 7:30--I promptly ignored it and went back to sleep, to be awakened by it a few more times. It's still going. I'm copying movies to my new tablet so I'll have something to do at the ER. I'm alternating between being truly scared (I can't afford to miss as much work as an appendectomy might ( Read more... )
