June 6, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

A lawyer, presumably in a hurry, submitted documents to the court that included references to “hallucinated cases.” Where did these hallucinations come from? ChatGPT, of course.  Judge Kevin Castel (S.D.N.Y.) is threatening the lawyer with sanctions.

ChatGPT gender bias: how it affects HR & tips to avoid pitfalls

May 30, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Are you biased?

Uber’s ‘Karen’ Problem: What DEI Training Is Supposed to Look Like

While we can all agree that calling a white woman “a Karen” (which is different than someone whose name is Karen) is offensive, and we shouldn’t call women that. But, employees don’t need a presentation–or two–on why they shouldn’t do that.

Your Manager Loves You. Here’s Why Your Raise Is Awful

A reader sent me an email asking if a “1.75 percent raise” was appropriate for a salary in the $90,000 range. “It’s like giving a waitress a $7 tip on a $300 meal,” he wrote.

7 Questions Tough Job Candidates Will Ask. Be Prepared

May 22, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

The days of people accepting a job–any job–are long since past. People have options and don’t want to join companies that don’t match their goals and values. If you complain that “no one wants to work,” well, get in line with great-great-grandpa, who complained about that in 1894.

May 16, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

People instinctively know that hiring managers want to hire skinny people. But a new survey from Resume Builder found that 42 percent of underweight people feel that they’ve been discriminated against because of their weight.

May 15, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

What color is your collar? 

The term white and blue collar comes from a time when office workers (primarily men) wore white shirts, and people who worked in factories and did manual labor wore shirts with blue collars. (Women’s work–typically positions that involved caring for others–was labeled “pink collar.”)

When a Bonus is an Insult

May 14, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Bonuses are great. No one ever wants to turn down money. But, when a bonus is too small, it’s best to skip it altogether. For instance, take a look at the above example from the Anti Work Subreddit.

50 Most Annoying Business Phrases of 2023 Revealed

May 10, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Everyone says they hate jargon, but we still use it. It serves a purpose–we all know what you mean when you say, “per my last email,” you mean, “listen, you dunce, I already told you that yesterday,” but the former has plausible deniability. Your dunce-like coworker can’t complain to

How Do I Get People to Do Their HR Tasks?

May 5, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

How does HR hold people accountable for the HR part of their jobs? For example, reviewing resumes, filling out performance appraisals, taking required training, signing documents, etc. I’m an HR professional at a company where employees take a lackadaisical approach to these checklists.

The 50 Most Annoying Office Jargon Phrases

May 5, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Expecting all your coworkers to understand your jargon is just blue-sky thinking. Maybe we should brainstorm or action a project so that going forward we can think outside of the box and make sure we are all singing from the same hymn sheet.
