As a resident within the Bala Cynwyd section of this district, I relish the opportunity to have the selection process benefit from the full out competitive brawl. Great article - nice historical reflection as well as the current "realpolitik" analysis .

Love the note. This is a biproduct of great parenting.

Can't help but notice the irony however, that the teenage "I am so smart, I know what your lame-ass parent questions are before you ask them" list of answers is written on letterhead for a FERTILIZER company.

Don't tell me you and Sheryl missed that!

Re: HR on a Shoestring

Topical

Another point; at what point is the existence of the underwater option no longer, not a positive incentive, but is an active negative?

Underwater stock options kill.

Re: Top 10 Events of 2008 That Will Shape HR in 2009

Thanks Sarah. This is a really important post. I think that this is a bit of best.

Good - HR people really good at HR stuff (execellent execution)
Better - HR people really good at business generally and HR specifically (business people who happen to be in HR)
Best - HR people who are mature, cleaver business people who put their business issues in the context of social, economic, cultural and historical trends around them (HR people who are worthy citizens)

You nailed this one. Thanks.

Nope - I am not buying.

Here is my test. Would you rather be the guy who sits there and says - "what an asshole that third guy in line is", or be that asshole. The victory is in knowing that you are right and better.

I think your thinking is how 10,000 limbs have been lost in Iraq.

I would jump on the "i'll buy it" bandwagon, but I need to first check with my tailor and mechanic and see if they can let the seat out a bit.
