I do what the boss asks, a bit faster than she expects. I stay on time and on budget, and I’m hardworking and loyal.&#.

When you were a child and a lamp was broken at home, you may have pointed your finger at a sibling. Placing blame on someone else is hardwired into us and begins at an early age. But as we grow and mature we should stop the finger-pointing and look for solutions instead of blame. Ben Dattner , an adjunct professor of psychology at New York University , says that much of the stress in today's workplace from a difficult economy has caused us to go back to our childhood roots — and that means blami

Dear Evil HR Lady, I’m a graduate student at a top international relations program, currently searching for internships and soon to be searching for jobs. My problem is this: when an employer searches my full name, the first result they get is my old profile at a social networking site for atheists. I’ve taken the profile down, but have not been fully successful in removing it from Google’s search results.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I just started a new job that includes a housing allowance. Just when I thought how nice they are, my boss e-mailed me with this sentence “Now you have more reason to stay late in the office, since the apartment is just within walking distance.” No one else has a housing allowance or lives as close. How should I reply? I’m not at all happy with this line.

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. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

To be sure, there were a lot of calls for ongoing management of the organisational machine, for example Paul Kearn’s suggestion that we should measure the result
