DISQUS

Hi Frank,

You continue to out do yourself. This article is great! Although I have not been around as long as some, I have been in the HR departments in Government, Small Business and Gov't Contractors. The one thing they all have in common is... nothing, nothing applies to them. Government thinks nothing applies to them and they give employees great benefits and plenty of time off. Small business give employees almost nothing and nothing applies to them. Then Gov't contractors just do whatever they want and nothing applies to them. Stay power you ask? Not even the government who has had the same employees there since 1960 has the same HR systems and practices that they had last year.

I am a HUGE fan of killing trees.... lets write these 500 page plans an put them in nice binders and leave them in the drawer.

Help me!!

I concur, that was great and should be posted in a management office somewhere... for I am sure there is someones manager who is keeping the $.25 raise from an employee because they don't see the value of "knowing where the screw is."

Frank, the list is great I have actually run into a few number 5's.

Frank, I think you are really on to something. Michael Haberman,a larger shop may need to do a little more. In my experience, employees will ALWAYS push the envelope.

Wow! That was really funny.
