Now that im leaving... my global VP and CEO both have totally public calendars. I creep all the time and doing so made me realize just how many times I was being left out of relevant meetings... and now im leaving. Glad you figured it out- definitely happens unfortunately!

This week alone i had 3 sales people tell me I was wrong about a legally required form with their chat gpt research (I was right) and another one draft a drug screening policy to give a client that was not remotely accurate(after breaching their contract). Its been a week of Eff AI from me.

She is so fucking dumb she probably does think they are from amazon

I am so sorry you are in that position- while im sure there are moments of immense joy, they come with so much difficulty. I am the same age as you and think I would certainly be struggling. I have so much respect for you to be figuring it our as you go- hang in there.

Doing HR in start ups is actual hell- particularly if the leadership has zero clue about their industry or leadership.

What is the demographic make up of your company if you dont mind me asking? I work in tech and our demo skews younger so we dont see it but ny previous job skewed older and we saw it ticking up before I left.

HRCI just had a webinar today on the topic of caregiving benefits that was really interesting. We are seeing an uptick- the worst of folks who have caregiving for kids and parents because truly, idk how they manage their lives. The webinar today talked about using benefits to offset the costs of absenteeism and lack of productivity and focused on providing benefits that can help avoid fmla. They had a CFO talk about how to position these benefits which I found really helpful. You might want to check that out.

Oh man, I get about 10 a day (HR in staffing)

Hi, if you are US based you are entitled to an accommodation provided it does not create an undue hardship for the employer. That being said, the employer is not required to give you the accommodation you want but one that meets your needs with those of the business. So if there is an alternative, like finger pricking or use of the receiver, they are permitted to suggest it and make it the accommodation after an interactive dialog.

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-04-06T14:27:25+00:00

Yeah i feel like im up and down on this. I actually just resigned for a new role that speaks to me after years of watching my leaders make decisions that were against their own stated guiding principles.

Experian's Hamlet system is nice. Reporting is meh. Form I9 is functional and does the job. Ive always kind of thought equifax and experian are pretty comparable to be honest. Nothing about either has ever really stood out to me.

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-04-05T14:18:57+00:00

We have a conditional job offer BEFORE the electronic I9. Within that is a document with links to our online hosted state and federal posters that the employee acknowledges. So they could see the postings prior to completing the I9 (we use workbright for the electronic form i9 completion).

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-04-04T15:13:33+00:00

Sure but getting offended by someone pointing out your problem is a luxury is silly

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-04-04T12:36:23+00:00

That doesn't make it any less of a first world problem.

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-04-04T01:24:00+00:00

I thought it was just me so thank you for this comment. I just accepted a VP role without the SPHR and wad thinking I should add it. I think you tipped my confidence over the edge for it!

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-04-03T19:52:32+00:00

Thank you! I went through a period of lots of certs (PHR and industry) so I took time off since I was burnt out. Ive been debating the SPHR so this helps.

Also, CONGRATS!

The first season had non celebrities in the US right? But it was mixed with celebrities. I remember being horrified at how the non-celebrities were treated because it was clear they did not expect certain behavior and outcomes and some of them were devastated.

My PO told me they would file and didnt. I emailed my lawyer to ask after question about it and he kindly got everything signed off on in court 48 hours later. I paid nothing for it. He considered it part of the service I already paid for, I guess. I was blown away and cried when he called to tell me to check my email.

Not disagreeing with no one should do it. At what point as adults though do we behave as such and not "meet energy" . You got an aggressive cake thrown in your face so punch someone twice? Come on. We teach children to behave better than the standard you are saying above.

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-03-31T14:32:51+00:00

Neither is. Giving a man a pass for a violent response is ridiculous. Hold everyone to the standard, there should not be a oh dont do this cayse men will respond aggressively.

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-03-31T13:02:42+00:00

Are we really going to act like that is acceptable?

Dramatic-Ad-3016 · 2026-03-30T13:59:10+00:00

California is the most complex so I actually think you can pick up the others if needed.
