Evil HR Lady

NOVEMBER 12, 2010

Dear Evil HR Lady, I am 48 years old with an MBA in business management from a non-traditional university. In my younger years, I would skip around from job to job as boredom would quickly overtake the excitement of a new career path. Today, I find myself unemployed after being part of a department-wide downsizing a year and a half ago. For the past year and a half, I have been self-employed and have worked to build name recognition, but now I want to go back to being an employee.

'We hear a lot of positive things about our performance management solution and it is interesting to hear some of the things that employees say about having our system in place within their organizations. One of the most interesting and frequent comments we hear is the notion that having a system such as ReviewSNAP in place shows employees that their employer truly cares about them and their development.

Like many organizations, the US Army holds a Knowledge Management Conference each year. And like most conferences there are three kinds of activities, 1) keynote speakers, 2) practitioners telling about their KM successes, and 3) long breaks for people to network. The speaker format is also typical - three or four speakers in a row with a few minutes of Q & A at the end of each speaker’s time and then on to the next speaker.

I've started something new today I've never before done on this blog or my website. I'm now accepting advertising. This wasn't an easy decision, and one I've avoided for years. As a journalist, I've always worried about a conflict of interest. I didn't want anyone to think I covered an issue or wrote about someone because they advertised on my site and I made money from the deal.

Peter Bromberg over at ALA Learning is asking about how you create a culture of curiosity , something that's been on my mind of late. He points out that curiosity is the. only known antidote to the single biggest block to learning: the idea that we already have the answer (and it’s 1 st cousin, “I don’t care about the answer”.) Being in a state of curiosity means looking out at the world, collecting data, observing human behaviors and interactions, and asking “why?

Dear Evil HR Lady, I’ve been working at the same job with -1 title change for 15 yrs. My hurdle is I’m being held back -due to personality conflict. I’ve trained all new hires (4 people) including 2 bosses. They are very difficult to please & moody. Most of my reviews are ‘barely acceptable.’ however, my boss is routinely asking me for help. I have asked to be promoted several times…every year for 4 years.

Last night I had dinner with my husband, my two daughters, my ex-husband, his wife and their 5 month old baby girl. We ate Chinese in the house my ex and I bought together 10 years ago, gathered around the dining table his new wife brought to the house when they married. My daughters sat at one end passing their baby sister back and forth between them, while the four parents sat at the other, watching what we've created together in the past 7 years.

In my family, there's a saying about "two floors later." It has to do with the time a family member had a run-in with another person and couldn't think of a good comeback. Instead, she got on the elevator, fuming. She says that "two floors later" on the elevator ride she came up with just the right comeback. Now, whenever our family has a difficult conversation and can't think of the right way to respond at that moment, we talk about how "two floors later" we found the right response.

I'm sorry to say that I've been spending a lot of time lately with staff working in organizations that aren't that into professional development. Because of time and financial constraints, training is not a priority and there is little attention paid to ensuring that staff have the skills and knowledge to perform their jobs. The best these people can hope for from their employers is that they will be allowed to sit in on a webinar or attend a 1-day training session once a year.
