Podcast audio from last weekend up (finally)
Hey, it’s only Friday — I’m only 5 days late with Monday’s podcast audio. Not bad for a beta version of a project, eh?
I have had helpful input and encouragement from Denise Howell of Bag & Baggage (I can just picture her running behind her baby stroller with ipod earbuds blasting my podcast), Kevin [...]

Blogroll: new addition and reorganization
Nobody else may have noticed, but over time the “Blogs, Labor/Employment/HR” section of my blogroll has ballooned.
This led me to begin devoting a significant part of my blogging time to the Monday morning HR/Employment Blogosphere updates (and trying to make a go of turning this feature into a podcast — more on that in a [...]
Job Satisfaction: Heading Further South!
The Conference Board recently released a summary of its latest survey of job satisfaction and as summarized in the report, employee job satisfaction appears to be heading downward. As the report notes,

HR/Employment Blogosphere update for April 3, 2005

A new chapter on employers and bloggers
As regular readers of this Blawg know, in a 5-part series on “Firing Bloggers,” I’ve written extensively about employee bloggers and the troubles they’ve seen.
Well, folks, I’m ready to turn my back on that subject and take the employer-blogger relations issue where it needs to go. So from now on, this is the topic:
How to [...]
Told you so! Update on Wednesday’s Supreme Court age discrimination decision
Just a brief follow-up to this not-so-brief post: “Supreme Court: disparate impact theory available under age act (ADEA)”
One article I’ll cite shows it’s possible to write a very concise and accurate summary of the decision (probably better than mine), yet fall for the spin being pushed by the losing parties (the employees) and their supporters.
