There aren't any around here. I saw one while I was on a recruiting trip but I didnt think a receipt from Hooters would look too good on my expense list.

So I am reading Margaret's book Management Courage and its very good. She BBQs a lot of sacred cows like "treating all employees the same" or hiding behind policies. Good stuff, Margaret.

Yes, please, don't start. nothing good could come from that just pain and more pain.
-
You know, guys, this is the SERIOUS part of the forum. A little decorum please?
-
You should contact Celeste and write a short review of the book.

I just watched the preview for the episode where the CEO of hooters goes to work undercover and witnesses a restaurant manager force his waitresses to participate in a degrading "contest". I have known some sadistic supervisors but its hard to be…

There have been instances where a reality show episode led to real life legal troubles. I think one of the companies on the show "Ax Men" got into hot water over some alleged illegal harvesting of naturally fallen trees in one episode. One of the…

Ha ha.. that thought ran through my mind too. I almost thought I saw a flash of terror race across Jaclyn's face too when the boss made that announcement. One ethical question I have is how they will handle employees who feel emberassed and humil…

Yeah, thats a good point. It is unprofessional. The deli employees at my local safeway like to complain too. I just stand there and nod my head while they slice my havarti.

If you missed the show, you can watch full episodes on [URL="http://www.cbs.com"]www.cbs.com[/URL]

One thing that bothered me from the first episode is the way the boss tried to help out Jaclyn, the hard working employee with the challenging life. It felt somewhat emotional. Help her out because life is hard for her. That doesn't seem right to…

Time reviewed the show and called it "phony, manipulating and entertaining". It does feel a bit like an hour long commercial to personalize CEOs at a time when they need all the positive PR they can get. On the other hand, the comments by fans…

That's not a bad approach. Its pretty standard really nowadays. Nobody can really fault you for going that direction (but they may try). Have you implemented this yet? Does God's Friend know about it?

Its cute that Nae thinks she is capable of being mean. Its like a nun saying "fiddlesticks" and thinking she is cussing a blue streak.
-
Branch Manager, yeah baaaaaby! (in Austin Power's voice) Now I am wondering if Carol was laughing at the responses that were MEANT to be funny. Only Carol knows I suppose.
-
Yeah, I think your face is better from about oh... a couple hundred yards?
-
Frank, I believe you are scaring the new people away with your wild eyed profile photo. Not too mention the frothing at the mouth...
-
Hey, you wouldnt be getting that signed copy of Margaret's book if it wasnt for me! How about a little respect?
-
Did Margaret just insult me? In all seriousness, this looks like a great book if only because you use the phrase "soul-sucking" in one of your chapter headings. I went ahead and personalized my book with what I think Margaret would have written…
-
Are you trying to hint that MLS should send you a free copy?
-
I hope pgaughan will post an update. Its one thing for us to debate this in a theoretical sense, and its another to have to deal with actual employees.
-
Ok, I will keep going. I might take a break for awhile and read something a little different.

Unseasonably warm here but still grey and misty. I think by Oregon law it has to be grey and misty at least half the year here. Here's a live webcam of Haystack Rock (about a 1/2 mile from my office). [URL]http://www.haystacklodgings.com/feed/[…

Coffee, Do you recommend I continue on the series? If so, what comes next? Personally I found Ender's Game both fascinating and disturbing. It was written 25 years ago but you wouldn't know it by the reference to the "nets" and what appears …

I'm a Christian but I have a strong dislike for anything that feels hokey like Christian breathmints, bumper stickers, t-shirts, amusement parks, and slogans. If you can't communicate the value of your beliefs through your example and the gracio…

Ha.. I was just driving home tonight thinking about "Catcher In The Rye" and wondering what was so special about the book. Maybe I need to reread it. If we are talking books, I just finished two science fiction classics "Ender's Game" and "Ende…
-
Yep. Its all over the news. The Daily Show had a biting piece thanking South Carolina for all the material they have provided lately. Sometimes politicians just say dumb stuff and you have to give them the benefit of the doubt but this guy sounds…
-
Ok, pgaughan, you have heard from a few perspectives. So, what do you think you will do?
-
Denise, I'll take a shot at this and hopefully others will add their contributions. I think an atmosphere where its OK to fail is crucial to promote innovation. When people are fearful of blame they tend to keep their ideas to themselves. Thats…

It is complicated. That was my original point. A kneejerk reaction is to tell the e-mailers to stop mentioning "God" but I think you have to look at your existing policies, company culture, and what other types of expressions you allow before you …
