When Memorial Day has come and gone, school’s out, the grill is fired up and the neighborhood pool has opened for the summer, there’s usually one more milestone coming: The company picnic is just around the corner.

If you’re highly active in HR and Talent Acquisition in the social space (read: blogs, sites, pod/videocasts, webinars, conferences, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), you might be caught up in this mindset that what you’re doing is not what you should be doing. You’re being told what you should be focusing on by idiots like me, and thousands of others, most of whom don’t even work in HR or Talent Acquisition at this moment.

I thought the interview went well overall, but one comment the interviewer made about the team structure rubbed me the wrong way.

Meet the companies pushing policies to advance the cause of transgender rights. In 2002, only three percent of Fortune 500 companies had gender identity discrimination protections in place.
