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.

Most of the workplace rules banning firearms are for fear of liability--if the company allows firearms and someone gets hurt, there might be liability. It makes the insurers happy.
As the Supreme Court has ruled, in the United States the police have no dutyto protect anyone. You are on your own. (2005 Castle Rock v. Gonzalez). Knowing this, I would carry. If there would be a justified shooting, I would not dream of firing the employee.
I understand the need and value of company policies (I have over 30 years of HR Leadership/Management experience), but sometimes the need for common sense prevails and this man is a true hero who probably saved several lives.
Most businesses are located on private property. If the business owner allows it, then I don't see any problem. If the owner does NOT allow it, any 2nd Amendment argument is irrelevant.
transformation into "Evil RW Lady."
Of course, this just makes me love you more.
Class factotum, I live to serve you, so I'll write some more Evil RW stuff.
In all actuality, I'm a free market capitalist and strict constitutionalist which all translates into mainly Libertarianism, but not a Ron Paul fan.
Although I just took a political orientation test and it put me in the libertarian camp, but closer to the center than I would have thought.
I like that even better! Not just because of the philosophy itself but also because it still drives some people crazy. And it's fun to drive some people crazy.
Libertarian(ish) here! I guess I should have guessed that about you too.
All the really cool kids are libertarian(ish). I'm not hardcore, but generally think people should be responsible for themselves.
I figured you had a liberatarian streak in you with your last job, and your brilliant advice.
