Mar 14, 2010 4:45am

Today’s shout out is for my awesome friend, David Manaster. He is the CEO of ERE Media and is a really great guy. That’s a #fact. Twitter it. I went to SHRM08 in Chicago and I didn’t know many people. I was about a year into my career as a Human...

family & email etiquette

Mar 13, 2010 3:45am

I don’t know about you, but my family is spread across the globe. We use social media to stay connected, and it’s so awesome. I get to see pictures of babies, read about graduations, and learn about my cousins and distant relatives who are rock stars. Unfortunately, the dark side of...

F@%k It Friday: Animals & Pets

Mar 12, 2010 3:45am

So it’s Friday. We are all happy. I am done talking about Human Resources and career advice. I want to talk about animals & pets. I think it’s okay to have cats and dogs in your life, but only if they are rescued. I know that some breeders are great, but...

Good Hair & Work

Mar 11, 2010 3:45am

I watched the movie Good Hair while flying to London, a few weeks ago. It was an interesting movie especially since I worked for Alberto-Culver, the company that owns the brands TCB and Motions.

Real Men Don’t Use iPhones

Mar 9, 2010 3:45am

I am an independent businesswoman, which sucks because at one point in my career I was the HR queen for an IT infrastructure group. It was heaven. I had access to a super-secret help desk number, the best network experts, and geeks who could fix just about anything. No signal? No wifi? No memory? Blocked access...

Dick Moves

Mar 8, 2010 6:45am

Throughout my career, I’ve been surrounded by men and women who pull a dick move with colleagues, associates, and leaders. What’s a dick move? From Urban Dictionary. An action by one male to another male friend which violates understood social expectations, especially where the transgressor obtains a slight advantage in comparison with...

Sunday HR Shout Out: Jason J. Davis

Mar 7, 2010 3:45am

I have to tell you something. I always read HR Think Tank by Jason Davis. I do. I feel like it’s an under-appreciated website, but I know the readership is growing because posts are often shared on Twitter and Facebook. Things that I like. Poor guy has the same name as the founder of...

From Natasha. She has a question about when to tell her new boss that she’s interested in another internal opportunity. Started my job at a new company less than 6 months ago. Primary role is essentially as an assistant. I have been doing side projects, with my direct boss’ blessing, involved in...
