On "If you want to fix shit" [as in our industry]

Let’s require anyone that intersects with HR to pay a toll…that of becoming a SHRM member and supporting our accreditation process and outcomes. Apply this to everyone…vendors trying to sell you software to analysts that sell reports to bloggers that write about workplace stuff. Filter them. Are you a SHRM member? No, then fuck you. Yes, how are you supportive of HRCI? Oh, you’re not… then fuck you. It really is that simple. Once people understand how serious we are about these two things… most will be supportive (read: get the fuck on board) and those that aren’t won’t be in business that long. So, fuck em.

Needless to say, I'll read the article with a bit more interest having read this post.

Comment by Sandra McCartt on March 26, 2013 at 11:08pm: Ami, that article is a year old. Did Tincup give up or figure out that you can't certifiy credibility, you earn it.
