I am honored to tell you that Parry Grip gave me permission to use his song over my opening credits, but now I need to write my SMART goals and learn some editing skills in 2009.
Also, although I believe in the 90 second vlog rule, this one is a little longer. I blame the sweater and the kittehs.
Good luck on your end-of-year compensation and performance review cycles, yo!
Love,
Laurie

Love the sweater… in a red and white snowflake kind of way.
About the rocket science: while talking to a group of aerospace engineers about the human element, I made the comment that this isn’t rocket science… and that’s when an astronaut (no kidding) gave me this perspective: less than 70 yrs after Kitty Hawk, we put a man on the moon, but in all of recorded history, mankind has yet to get the human dynamic stuff right.
@Jason Thanks. I once said, “It’s not rocket science.” Turns out I had a rocket scientist and a brain surgeon in my audience. They left their fields of practice and went into IT.
Dang it. I knew I should have gone into IT.
No, Jenn, you should marry into IT. They’re good at Jeopardy, actually. We used to have (sigh) Jeopardy team-building competitions.
I like the sweater.
@HRU Thank you. Want to buy it on eBay?
Pretty good. Its all about knowing your role! The manager is responsible and a good manager will take care if it all year, not just in the few weeks after HR sends out the forms…
Speaking of mgrs. abdicating their duty to manage, here’s a new variation: a Belgian ad agency asks its clients “who should we fire?” to improve collections on aged receivables — and it works!

Cheers!
@G3 Thanks.
@Kentropic I saw that & I’m not sure it’s sreal. I think it’s a performance art piece.
You speak the truth!
Amen to wht you said. But how do we fix it? And what if the non-HR higher ups tht you report this informtion to do nothing to hold the non-compliant managers accountable?
