Comment on: Blog Post 'I am Black and I am Proud': titled "Race" Race is about the prickly and painful issues that arise out of a legal case. (There's a great interview with Grier on NPR A wealthy white man, played by Richard Thomas, is accused of raping a black woman. He seeks legal representation at a law firm run by two partners — a white lawyer played by James Spader and a black lawyer played by Grier. All of the characters test audience assumptions about racial allegiance and gender politics. Grier says he thinks Mamet was prompted to write the play by the election of Barack Obama. I think prejudice is alive and well here in the US and in most of the developed world. There is bias against age, race, gender, sexual orientation. There's a bias against tattoos and body piercings. The glass ceiling is still with us as well as the gray ceiling. (I could dye my hair, but no one is going to think I'm 30 years old). I commend Carmen for her belief in authenticity. At some point, you're going to have to show up for an interview. I think you should show up as yourself. As an original. I do believe, as we move into the next decade, companies TRULY wanting to embrace and promote diversity will win. They'll be able to attract and retain the best talent.…; Added by Peter Clayton at 9:00pm on December 15, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'The True Meaning of Passion': h essential element for a new hire to actually become a great hire benefiting themselves and their employers—and that is having viable growth opportunities. Without such viable growth opportunities great passion, intelligence and work ethic can be frustrated, even nullified One can argue that individuals with passion, intelligence and strong work ethic will find and make opportunities happen. I would agree, but only up to a point. The lack of growth opportunities due to plant closures, project cancellations, mass layoffs, poor management, under staffed and hostile workplaces, the Glass Ceiling, etc—all lend to diminished investments, cutbacks in R&D and a timid or guarded approach to business growth. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time can frustrate even a high potential, passionate, intelligent and dedicated professional. As recruiters we all hear from candidates who are at a “dead-end” with their employer. When employers challenge their employees with business critical opportunities and reward them for their successes “great hires” will come from the relationship. However, when employers overwork, under-pay and take employees for granted, particularly the passionate, intelligent and dedicated ones—they set the tone for high attrition and unhappy campers.…; Added by Valentino Martinez at 4:01am on June 24, 2012

Comment on: Topic 'A Spinning Cog': travel. At the time change seems daunting paticularly moving jobs but you would have outgrown it and moved anyway. This was a welcolme to the world of work, there are always people that you don't agree with or get along with. I think maturity in working enables you to co-exist with people you are not 100% with. i suspect you would have been moving on within 6 months anyway due to a glass ceiling even if she would have been wonderful.
