A reader writes: I recently decided to change jobs and accepted a great new position.

Ah, yes, my favorite time of the year, tax season (NOT). During this season, all of us are thinking about our finances with a big picture view.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes.

But I do know that LinkedIn is traditionally a great tool to network and make sure you know who people are, read things they share, etc.

Using Career Paths to Effectively Address Skill Gaps. Approximately 10,000 baby boomers retire each day in the United States. That’s about 30,000 skilled workers per month.

I’ve ripped clothing across seams, broken heels, spilled entire meals or drinks on myself, been rained on so hard that I could wring my shirt out like a towel, sat on something that needed to be cleaned off, etc. In some instances, I could leave early to address the problem (spilled entire meal on myself, rained on), and other times, I’ve had to deal with it at the office.
