in You Can Fly Without ID on KnowHR Blog
Great info! Thanks.

I realized that you can fly with 2 different names internationally last week when I purchased a ticket in my married name and realized my passport is in my old name. Thought it would be a problem, but no one batted an eyelash. (I did have an ID with my married name too) Not even an extra security check!

in A Good Story About Executive Compensation on KnowHR Blog
Your post this morning made me think back to a positive experience years ago when I worked for a very small startup that was running out of money.

In order to ensure the employees were paid in full, the execs took a pay cut to the minimum wage. They truly cared about the company and employees- and showed their commitment through their actions.

So- yes, it is rare, but it does happen. And when it does, the experience leaves a lasting impression- of commitment and respect.

While being short on cash is not the ideal situation for any company, if/when it happens, the actions (real and perceived) of the executive team can "make or break" company morale and productivity.
