Several years ago I was going to fly with a friend who'd never been on a plane before. He told me what he hated most about the idea of flying was that he wasn't "in control." This was a person who never let anyone else drive the car because he only trusted himself to make the split-second decision to swerve or brake should trouble strike. In helping him try to manage his anxiety, I joked that maybe I should set him up with one of those children's car seat things where they have a toy steering wh

Helpful information and advice from Americas favorite workplace columnist About Anita Blog Books Syndicated Column Interviews Career Links Contact Thursday, August 12, 2010 Are You Enabling an Alcoholic Co-Worker? In one of my first jobs, I worked with a woman who always had the smell of what I thought was a really potent mouthwash on her breath. I was young and naive, and it was only later than someone clued me in: It was mouthwash --mixed with a little (actually, a lot) of Wild Turkey.

'Quick update: I was recently in California and stayed with a friend who has a really soft guest bed. I returned home on the warpath and demanded that my husband Ralf remove the 20-year-old army cot we''ve been sleeping on and replace it with the Sealy mattress we bought while living in California, which I then loaded up with memory foam. He did this and promptly hurt his back, so now he has to go for physical therapy and we''re looking for a new bed.

'Today I reviewed a whole bunch of slides depicting the employee lifecycle for inscrutable reasons of my own and two things became clear to me: 1) We do more ''to'' employees than they are able to do for themselves. 2) This needs to change. Consider your basic employee lifecycle: plan -->source --> hire --> on board --> evaluate --> compensate --> develop --> separate How involved is the employee in each of these steps?

Dear Evil HR Lady, I was just curious if you can be fired for having a sleeping disorder that causes mild narcolepsy? I disclosed to my district manager that once I became tired (after a 10-12 hours work shift) it could happen. He was already upset that he heard that I was falling asleep at work. I had explained to him that I was off the clock out of uniform and was sitting in the office chair about to go home and I just leaned back and closed my eyes for a few seconds and an employee thought I
