DIVING OFF THE DEEP END OF PEOPLE MANAGEMENT: Welcome to my "let's get practical" happy place for the ideas, information and inflammatory speech that we should be able to use at work. Where the job isn't rocket science, but form and skill count.

Doggie Day Care
Today, I got that dreaded call. One of my babies got into a fight at school and got hurt. Baby Demon, our Siberian, and an obviously viscious Golden Retriever got into a fight. He ended up with a puncture wound on his shoulder. They put him in time out and Deogie, our lab, was put in with him. Poor thing, she didn't do anything wrong. It is interesting how we treat certain functions in our companies that same way. Human Resources, like any other profession, has it's share of people that, well, they suck. However, the reputation stuck. Do what we might, the practical operations minded folks end up in public image time out with the folks that earned it. Maybe we can change our job title and escape this. Any thoughts? Oh, well, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet and an onion would smell as strong.
