The UAL executive leadership team is reading my blog, and specifically my post on Glenn Tilton. I can see the link from their private forum, and I just wanted to advise my new readers of the following:
1. If you need great HR advice, please feel free to check out HR Bloggers for the best on HR practices and HR leadership.
2. If you want to read great HR Blogs and potentially recruit HR Professionals for your UAL leadership team, please visit HRM Today. Both HR Wench and I are currently looking for roles in Corporate HR — maybe. We like blogging, too, but it doesn’t always pay the catnip bills.
3. Many of us in the HR community feel that UAL needs a kinder, gentler relationship with your union employees. Your executive leadership team needs to soften its rhetoric and appear more benevolent and sympathetic. If you’d like to talk more about how progressive HR professionals can help you speak to your union base, please email me here.

PS – Remember the advice from my post on Glenn Tilton: buy your domain name so your detractors don’t buy it first!

hey can you ask the United honchos to make it easier to use my dividend miles? their web site makes it way too complicated. thanks!
Uhm, UAL, can you help a sister out? Col needs your attention. kthxbai.
OMG! Can the people at Wal-Mart read too???
Don’t forget me! I’m looking for a job too.
I need a THESE PEOPLE NEED JOBS blogroll.
Laurie (and UAL), I can absolutely assure you that UAL requires the higher caliber of HR skills you could provide. Some years ago when I was in grad school I had an interview at their corporate HQ, and it’s a miracle I ever made it to Chicago with the excuse for an HR professional who was coordinating the details. One of my classmates had an interview with them the same week and the same person messed up a bunch of his travel details as well.
I figure there’s about a 15% chance that United is wondering why I never got back to them about their offer, without realizing that the offer letter is still somewhere on the HR person’s desk.
OK, maybe more like 10%, but the point is they clearly need better HR talent. Go on, Elk Grove Village isn’t that bad.
Dude, the blog roll idea is awesomes.
