Suzanne Lucas’ EvilHRLady is legendary in the HR blogosphere for her unique insight and biting wit.
Do a quick search on her blog on any HR topic. Chances are, you’ll find several articles in her extensive library of posts.
We particulary like that she manages to highlight both modern management issues and those of today's employees.
On our blog, we find articles such as "I worked while on vacation. Do I get my vacation time back?" as well as "The Number 1 Reason the Unemployed Turn Down Jobs".
