Two week notice. Why you don’t have to quit the job you hate.

By HRNasty April 10, 2019 In Climbing Career Ladder, Manage your Manager, What HR Really Thinks 0 9

Turning in your two-week notice without a conversation is a short-sighted move

Why quitting your job should be the last resort

If you are thinking about turning in your two-week notice for any of the following reasons, I encourage you to have an honest conversation with yourself. Below are the more common reasons and employees will turn in their two week’s notice and quit:

Lack of management recognition of work
Bored and unchallenged
Didn’t receive the opportunity that was expected
Relationship with manager/boss
Relationship with co-workers
Opportunity to use a skill that is considered a strength

Look in the mirror

If you are thinking about turning in your two-week notice,

Is your company training program instilling the right attitude?

By HRNasty April 3, 2019April 6, 2019 In Company Culture, Management 0 8

Is your company training setting the right work ethic?

A 9-5 work ethic and nothing more?

I would suggest that a number of company training programs are not pushing new hires fast enough. I especially believe this is the case in a few areas:

Training recent graduates
Manager new to management who is training new hires
Training programs that have not been updated

Do you have new employees who leave as soon as the clock ticks 5:00 PM?

Can you coach a bad attitude?

By HRNasty March 25, 2019 In Company Culture, Management, What HR Really Thinks 0 16

The bad attitude is tough to coach

Is a bad attitude coachable?

As managers, I am confident we can train employees to learn our products, our software and to a certain extent our culture. Coaching an employee attitude is a different animal. How we think about life, our careers, our managers and our companies success is usually a reflection of our personal outlook on life.

Age doesn’t have to be a factor in the job interview

Mature candidate

Today’s post focuses on the mature candidate as part three of a 3 part series on age discrimination in the job interview. Lessons from this post can be used for all age demographics.

I mentioned in Post 1 of this three-part series that I would jump at the opportunity to hire the two mature candidates below.

Interview Ageism: Why I decline candidates over 50

Would you decline 63-year-old Bill Gates?

Job Interview Ageism

Last week we discussed the topic of age discrimination in the job interview and a few of my personal theories on why job interview ageism exists.

Before anyone gets into a huff

Candidates are not declined because of their age.

Age discrimination in the job interview

Age Discrimination in the job interview. You can do something about it.

Age Discrimination and the job interview

Age discrimination in a job interview is a volatile topic. Candidates can feel helpless when they feel this happens and it isn’t just to folks over 40, 50 or 60+. Stereotyping can be experienced by candidates that feel they were declined because they are too young,

Is it OK to have a company Christmas tree? HR speaks out

By HRNasty December 5, 2018 In Uncategorized 0 8

No trees were cut, bound, lashed, or had melted candle wax dripped on them

Company Christmas tree

With so much sensitivity in the workplace and so much insensitivity in the political arena, I thought I would update a classic post. Every year, I am asked an age-old HR question. “Can we have a company Christmas tree at work”.

Remote worker, why some companies allow it and why others don’t want to

Effective remote workers in their element

How the remote worker can demonstrate success

Do you want to be a remote worker? With evolving workforces and the new technologies entering the job market, one common perk in a comp package is the ability to work as a remote employee.

There are several reasons this request is made by a candidate or existing employee:

The employee doesn’t have to worry about a commute
Independent workers who don’t interact with customers don’t have the need to be in the office
Laptops were a game changer and technology has made communication seamless with programs like Skype,

What is your desired salary?

Will your answer to the Desired Salary question make it rain?

We know the Desired Salary question is coming

“What is your desired salary question?” Ever worried if your number was too high or too low when interviewing for your dream job? Ever wonder if you are disqualifying yourself or leaving money on the table?

Company compensation philosophy and how it effects your desired salary

By HRNasty July 18, 2018August 21, 2018 In Uncategorized 0 9

A compensation philosophy isn’t just about the Benjamins

The interview question of questions

I don’t think a week goes by where I am asked how to answer the standard interview question “What is your desired salary?” Truthfully, I don’t hear about it this topic in the form of a question, I hear about it in the form of an accusation.
