F@%k It Friday: Dark Chocolate

By Laurie on February 10th in Human Resources

I am one of those dumb girls who always has a man around on Valentine’s Day. No joke. Since I was 16. This is ridiculous because I’ve never celebrated Valentine’s Day. Maybe once in high school. Totally appropriate. And I did get flowers from a guy on Valentine’s Day, once, and they were lovely; however, [...]

Anthony Bourdain is Such a Piece of Shit

By Laurie on February 9th in Human Resources

Public speaking is incredibly difficult and awful. I know this because I recently booked my 100th paid speaking event and wondered — why the hell do I do this? I never feel good about myself, I worry about my clothes and the whole endeavor makes me want to vomit. This is why I’m extremely generous [...]

Today Is The Day: The Empire Strikes Blond!

By Laurie on February 8th in Human Resources

Remember when Diddy ran the NYC Marathon? No. Nobody remembers that. According to MTV, he had eight weeks of intensive training and dieting, two weeks abstention from sex, and he only had one party each week. What a pussy. Less than five weeks ago, I learned that I was selected to run up the Empire [...]

HR and Confidentiality

By Laurie on February 7th in Human Resources

I’m often asked, “Can I tell you something confidentially?” My consistent answer is always no. I am not a priest or a lawyer. I don’t qualify as a journalist. I am not your spouse. Everything you say to me is on the record. I reserve the right to use discretion and/or tell everyone I know. [...]

What the Hell is an SPHR?

By Laurie on February 6th in Human Resources

Eleven years ago, my boss told me to get my SPHR. I was twenty-six and had worked in HR for six years but I was having trouble being taken seriously as a HR leader. Uhm, that’s because I was twenty-six. But it also didn’t help that I was working with brilliant people who eventually orchestrated [...]

Monday Morning HR Humor: Superbowl Ads

By Laurie on February 6th in Human Resources

I dunno, dudes. The Super Bowl commercials were not super awesome, this year. What were your favorites? Also, are you sick of everyone trying so hard to craft a viral video? I think my all time favorite commercial is the IKEA Herding Cats spot. Here it is. Also, I want a new rule where you [...]

The Week Ahead

By Laurie on February 5th in Human Resources

Hey, dudes. Happy Sunday. Today is the Super Bowl. Normally that would mean a tremendous amount of fun and food in my belly. Unfortunately I will be running instead of binge eating because I have to haul my ass up the Empire State Building on Wednesday. Have some disgusting food for me. This week is [...]

F@%k It Friday: Bucket List

By Laurie on February 3rd in Human Resources

Most of you know that I’m back from Rome. Lots of people keep saying, “Wow, that’s a bucket list item for me!” Maybe I’m an asshole but I don’t have a bucket list. I just keep my expectations low and pretty much do what I want to do. Rome? Sure. Get another cat? Okay. Whatever. [...]

HR Ladies Don’t Use Bidets

By Laurie on February 2nd in Human Resources

I don’t consider myself to be an uptight American HR lady — but as I write this, I realize that there are dozens of men out there who are saying to themselves, “Oh no. She’s super-uptight and weird.” Fine. Okay. I am uptight and weird. Possibly frigid. And I’m a thirty-seven year old woman who [...]

Grace, Forgiveness and Logical Fallacies at Work

By Laurie on February 1st in Human Resources

I’m a pretty judgy woman but I don’t want to be judged. Isn’t that how it always is with HR ladies? So I’ve had to learn how to offer grace and forgiveness in my life. It’s not easy because most of the time I want to punch someone in the face and say I AM [...]

Your LinkedIn Group Probably Sucks

By Laurie on January 31st in Human Resources

My personal secret is that I’m not very cynical. I am an optimist. I believe in freedom, John Cougar Mellencamp and apple pie. I even like Human Resources professionals… …until someone tells me, “I’m going to start a new LinkedIn group.” Yeah, great. I barely have time to see the dentist, pay attention to my [...]

What Makes A Great HR Blog?

By Laurie on January 30th in Human Resources

I think about HR blogging quite a bit because I am lame. I like HR blogs that allow me to hear the author’s voice even if I don’t know him/her. That’s how I feel when I read Fistful of Talent. I don’t know most of those writers IRL but I can hear them in my [...]
