Comment on: Topic 'The Deterioration of the Spoken Word': d true understanding simply cannot take place to the same degree with the digital word as it can with the spoken word. Email and texting are great for simple exchanges, but they should be limited to that..."simple" exchanges. Effectiveness and efficiency both drop dramatically when you get into more complex topics and discussions. Certainly most sales calls would fall under the "complex" description. And like you, I am sometimes guilty of this as well and I am continually working to improve on this. Great post!…; Added by Brian Larson at 2:43pm on May 20, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'Coming Out At Work': o live life without them. Unicorns aside, I see where you're coming from. I mean, you're the one dealing with it so who am I to say that it's a non-issue? Re: #4, if sex is taboo, than wouldn't it be irrelevant whether it's gay sex or heterosexual-sex? Sex is not to be discussed among HR folks. Period. That probably goes for Gay Sex, Straight Sex, upside down sex, sex on the discovery channel, sex is not to be discussed among - or in the vicinity of- HR. From an entirely different angle, call it an analogy: If baseball is not to be discussed in a football locker room, coaches rule and you could get benched from the upcoming game by talking about baseball because to the football coach- baseball is taboo, wouldn't you also assume that the act of pitching, as it pertains to baseball, is off limits to talk about? Pitching is not more taboo than baseball as a whole, it's just part of baseball that can't be talked about in this fictitious locker room. What I'm saying is, is it possible that you've decided that everyone who's in HR and not gay finds Gay Sex taboo and you're projecting on people, when all they're doing is policing their sexual harassment policy? This is not entirely uncommon for anyone who has concerns about being accepted for one reason or another. Just throwing it out there. …; Added by Tyson J. Spring at 10:09am on July 8, 2014

Comment on: Blog Post 'Hmmmm Recruiting Dilemma.... or not': ? Today, it would be, do they ban the internet that promotes the latest companies hiring, ban Twitter and Facebook which workers check even while on the job, and are sources that companies and recruiters use to find candidates? If an individual is inclined to listen to, read about or see an opportunity that interests them, they will respond indicating they are most likely open to making a move, whether it comes from a recruiter or another source. Some of the most savvy managers I work with, say recruiting is a way of life and if one of their staff members wants to explore an opportunity that moves their career further, it was most likely time for them to move on. Or if they are disatisfied with their job, definitely time to move on. And, guess what, those managers are usually open to listening to new opportunities as well. And as to owners and top management, they wouldn't think twice if they decided to lay off John or Jane Doe, or outsource their positions if it was to the companies' advantage. As to the recruiter asking the question . . . probably best that you let him or her go. (Didn't s/he understand the job before being hired?) From my experience with new recruiter hires, that is a difficult issue to overcome, and/or a great excuse for them to stay off the phone! My guess, if you don’t let this recruiter go, it will be a very short time before he or she says goodbye! By the way, if the question pertained to recruiting people out of a company that hires from you, then my response would have been different.…; Added by Gay Carter at 1:45pm on February 28, 2011
