@ Laurie;

I try HRAwA occassionally on the continuum between infreqently and frequently. Then measure the results. I need to get my HR Rules out of my PDA up on my site, perhaps this evening? Who has time?

@Rachl Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.

@Corey I’m with you in that we can’t all be slave-laborers working in a Kathie Lee Gifford sweatshop. There’s only so much we can do. I would like to put it this way: when you do something, make sure it kicks ass.

@RMSJR I love HR Activism with Attitude.

I’m with Brian. I certainly don’t mind rolling up my sleeves when the team needs help but I work my A$$ off and am already missing far too much of my son’s first years. You can only crank a lever so far before it breaks… I am lucky, I work for a good company and have a boss that is always yelling at me to go home and take some time off so I don’t lose it – for the 5th year in a row.

@Bryan My vision of cranking it up is your vision — swagger & ass kickins. Oh, and kittens.

I am sorry, but I can’t disagree more with this whole notion of “cranking it up a little.” Most of us have already taken on 2-3 jobs and are doing more with less. Many US companies never fully replaced the workforce that was lost in the recession of 2002-03.

This latest version has only sank many of us to the bottom of the pool — if we weren’t there already. If you have room to crank it up and don’t mind completely sacrificing any family or home life, well be my guest. The rest of us will demand better working conditions, fair wages/benefits and a real life outside of the cube.

If my company thinks it can live without me, then fine, but they won
