Why am I evil? Well, I'm not, but that's the perception of all of us in HR. Need to fire someone? Come to HR. Need to explain to someone why, even after working their rear end off all year, that their annual increase is 2.7%? Come to HR. Need to come up with new mountains of paperwork? Come to HR. So, come join me on the Evil Side. Oh, and send me your HR questions.

Ask Me A Question
E-mail me!.
There is no way I can answer every question, but give me a try. I admit, I don't know the answer to everything, but I'm mostly willing to pretend I do.
Right now I have 472 questions in my queue, so it might be a little while. (I might be exaggerating, just a bit.)
To increase your chances of getting your question answered, please limit yourself to two-three reasonably sized paragraphs and try to figure out what your real problem is. Punctuation and capitalization are pluses.

I agree with many of your points -- but one point to make is that I'm making more money on my loans (4% interest) paying myself than I was making from the market during late 2009 and 2010 thus far. My return hasn't been very positive. At least with the loans, I know I'm putting 4% more back in my pocket.
Sorry Joe, I can't resist. The concept of "making" money by paying yourself interest is extremely funny.
This is a wonderful concept. I'm going to the bank right now to withdraw all the money I can to stuff into my wallet.
I'll make a FORTUNE!
If you're not comfortable with market volatility, that's fine. Go to cash and sit it out. But don't play shell games with yourself and pretend to be "making" money.
