There are few things that I read these days that shock me into slack-jaw syndrome. But I had one of those moments yesterday, followed quickly with: “HR just effed that up royally. Whoa.” Yahoo! sent an internal memo to every single one of their global employees, telling them that they…
I had an “arch-enemy” in one of my previous roles. I loathed working with him, he probably hated working with me just as much, and it was an unfriendly deal all around. I’m fairly easy to get along with, I think at least, but I admit that I have absolutely…
Like most people, you want everyone to like you – including your boss. Maybe you’re still in the fairy-tale stage of your career and thinking that your boss is your friend, or perhaps you have entered reality and know that your boss is, well – just your boss. It’s easy…
It’s your time, really – 2013 is YOUR year. To dream big, and accomplish even bigger. It’s time to stop standing on the sidelines, punching a clock, being… mediocre. It’s time to figure out why you haven’t gotten your “well-deserved” promotion yet, and actually GET PROMOTED. Every single day…

Do I get my boss a gift? I have run across this question more than any other when it comes to holiday-time. The quick answer is that it varies based on the environment you are in and if you are a gift-giver or not – and the “real answer” is…
Depending upon where you work, you may or may not have some kind of year-end office holiday party celebration. And they can range from upscale to a drinking fest, and everything in between. Planning these things are an HR nightmare – not only do we hate that we become “party…
It’s already mid-November. Where the heck did the year go? But alas, the holidays are approaching – unless you are at any retail store where the holidays have firmly arrived. Anyway… Navigating the muddy water of work-appropriate holiday celebrations is always a struggle. I’ll be highlighting three different holiday-related situations…
