I work in HR. Can confirm. We are not your friend.

Horrendously toxic is pretty apt, but you don’t need to work at a massive company like Google to come across a woman that wants to be a corporate super hero.

As I said, it’s cool girl for grown ups. She’s going to get into the office come hell or high water and snark all year at anyone that called out during a…

The dress is by Dutch designer David Laport. He also designed Solange’s yellow ‘Lemonade’ outfit for the Met Gala three years ago. AND HE’S MY FRIEND.

A friend who works in the fashion industry just told her company she was pregnant. They responded by firing her.

HR works for management to protect the company. The sooner people realize this, the sooner you will understand the true role of your HR deparment.

HR Professional here, and I’m going to be a downer (as usual). There’s a lot of politics at the level that she’s talking. I doubt very much she’s midlevel professional.

For all the average Janes that are expecting or trying to get pregnant, I cannot stress enough to document every thing related to your performance and…

currently parental leave in the US is the corporate equivalent of “tolerance.”

My favorite part - at the end of her memo, she includes comments from her team’s evaluations of her as a manager.

The backstory is that last year one of her husband’s adult children tried to escape. She was 30 miles off the coast of India when a bunch of commandos raided the boat she was on and dragged her off by force. So this woman, knowing what her husband is capable of, has requested an official order of protection for her…

We have a RIng doorbell and we like it. That said, here’s how it seems most people use theirs.

Orwell would have to rewrite his novel to make it clear that the government didn’t impose the surveillance state.

Having your child die a gruesome death from a horrible mistake seems like punishment enough.

This would never happen to me.

Given my job, it’s not hard to guess where I stand. I think this is a clear-cut case of the world wanting to hold somebody responsible for a tragedy, whether it’s just or not. What punishment could be worse for this man than what has happened? This is not an intentional act. This is a horrible tragedy, and while…

I honestly used to roll my eyes and blame “bad parents”

I remember one morning with my youngest I was so damn tired. Just exhausted. He was about 6 months old. Maybe a little older? I was on autopilot and I was just driving to work. I was about a block away from the office and he made a cooing noise - a gurgle or something - after having been super quiet the whole way to…

This, I believe, is every parent’s secret nightmare.

I think that WaPo article should be required reading for everyone.

Seriously. By the time my best friend had her second kid, she knew EXACTLY how long it would take for her body to process alcohol to the point where it would show up in her milk (plus she had a LOT of supply frozen), so we would only do whiskey shots at precise intervals. While holding the baby.
