We're deploying to all 4,500 employees, and they're a wonderful client: intelligent, committed, and keenly aware of both the threats and the opportunities that social media present to the publishing industry.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I was recently fired. My working environment was hostile at the least. My immediate supervisor, African American, was blatantly racist to me, white. Multiple people in the office, including other African Americans, have complained to HR about this individual’s racism yet the company protects the problem and discharges the problem white employees. How can this sort of thing continue? I don’t think we’ve got a chance in a court of law since we’re white and she’s black.

I recently watched the Barbie Fairytopia series with my daughters and had the following conversation with my 6-year-old: Daughter: Why did the fairy guardians have to teach the younger fairies the Dance of Spring? Me: They were doing succession planning. Blank stare. Me: In case something happened to one of the guardians they''d still have someone who could do the dance. Otherwise all of Fairytopia would be plunged into winter for ten years. Daughter ( nodding wisely ): That would be cold.

As you walk your applicant back to your office, you begin to formulate your initial impressions.

I just spent a week in Romania. I know it's not the typical vacation spot, but we're trying to take advantage of our few years in Europe by seeing everything we can. While there, we ate great food (really great, I gained 4 pounds), saw interesting sights and, of course, picked up a few career lessons. Here are a few of the things I learned on my vacation. Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

I have been working for a large corporation for about 4 years. My relationship with the vice president is great; I feel he is smart and respectable. My relationship with my supervisor however, is a little rocky. She is a flake, routinely calling in to work, crying over the slightest criticism, complaining incessantly, and the quality of her work is terrible. In January I applied for a new position in the company, I interviewed for the position twice and both interviews went well.

The IT people in my company are seriously underpaid. If we ever complain about, management says they could always outsource our jobs to India, so we better stop whining. So, a year or so ago a co-worker and I had a great idea: we got permission to buy the old computers that were going to be discarded and then we fix them up and sell them on Ebay. A few months ago, I took it a step further. When I’m asked to fix someone’s computer, I’ll declare it unfixable instead.
