Why Do My Employees Feel Picked On?

February 3, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

I try to handle employee problems face-to-face and one-on-one. That’s what I was always taught — praise in public, punish in private. But the problem with this is that each of my employees feels singled out for their bad behavior. In their eyes, their coworkers never “get in trouble.” No

Recruiter Advice that You Should Ignore

January 20, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

This morning I got sucked into watching Facebook reels. The offspring inform me that these are just old TikToks, and I should go straight to TikTok, but I’m an old lady who likes Facebook and always regrets clicking on reels, and yet I still do it.

Please correct my grammar (but not anyone else’s)

January 9, 2023 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines
