If you’ve come here from The New York Times looking for a thoughtful blog on issues related to employment and Human Resources, you’ve come to the wrong place.
You’ve arrived at Team Building Is For Suckers, a blog designed in response to stupid HR practices and silly team building meetings.
- Want to know more about my HR philosophy? This is a good start.
- Want to know why I hate HR? You can look here.
- Want to know more about my foster cats? Yes, there is a page for my cats.
Enjoy the blog and — as always — I would really love your feedback!
Best,
Laurie Ruettimann





Wow Laurie! Great publicity!
Nice job!
This is really fun reading. And you are quite photogenic too!
Quite a change from my usual computer tech blogs. However, I have to admit to reading “The Everywhere Girl” and “Dear Prudence” from Slate.
I’ll be checking daily to see what’s new and to catch up on past posts.
Good Luck!
@Bethany & Wenchie Thanks!
@Herb Thanks for coming to the site. I’m a big fan of Dear Prudence at Slate — I’m not sure she always gets it right, but she’s a good read. Glad to have you as a reader, Herb. Thanks for stopping by.
Well, la-de-da…
Aren’t you just a fancy pants being quoted by the prestigious Gotham broadsheet!!
woohoo!
That is so cool. Congrats L! I know an HR superstar!
Oh pish posh, guys. My fifteen seconds of fame have passed.
