  • I currently work for a large corporation with one of the worst HR strategies I’ve ever seen. Their primary focus, as far as I can tell, is to prevent employees from suing the company. But here’s how it practically works out: It is really difficult to promote or get raises for high performers, which makes them a flight risk. That is coupled with it being equally difficult to remove low performers. It takes 6 months to get someone on a PIP, then another 6 months to go through the PIP process. Meanwhile the high performers have to pick up the slack without any extra comp. No one who is any good wants to work in that environment. So what you end up with is a death spiral of talent and increasingly worse products and services. I can’t get out of here fast enough.


















  • M, T, Th, F: work from home, have lunch with my husband (if work schedule allows), play with kids when they get home from school

    W: work from home, have lunch with my husband (if work schedule allows), badger kids to do music therapy, play with kids

    Sa: business meeting with my dad, play with kids, nap, grocery shopping

    Su: play with kids, nap, play with kids

    I’m in charge of all adhoc things outside of the house and financial. Husband is a stay at home parent and does all the home stuff.
