 | Vol. 12 No. 142 - ISSN: 1533-3698 October 29, 2011 Dear People: Welcome to a glorious end of fall weekend. Make it something special. At some point in most careers, you will have had a job that you hated. No matter whether your worst job offered you lousy or distasteful work, a boss you hated, or difficult coworkers who constantly undermined you or complained, you remember the job as your worst job - ever. Perhaps the company was archaic or the company's mission just didn't appeal to you as important or exciting. Whatever your reason, the job has stuck in your memory as your worst job - ever. Readers have shared these stories about their worst jobs. Please share your worst job experience. Do you know that I write a new blog post every day? Check out the blog in the center column on my home page. Comments, questions, suggestions? Email Me. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, because you want to add value to their work and lives. Regards and wishing you and yours the best this weekend, Susan | |

| Is HR Misunderstood - Or Do We Blow It?
"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good" -- but, the most common emails I receive, and frequent posts in the HR Forum, too, describe a Human Resources horror story. Employees tell me endless stories about how they were treated by their HR staff person. I'd like to continue to collect stories, but I'd also like to shed some light on why and how employees can feel wrongly treated by HR.
