My Doctor Says I Should Work from Home. Can My Boss Say No?

August 31, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

After working from home since late March due to COVID, my employer informed all employees on August 18th that we were expected to return to the office on August 24th.

It’s Never Been More Important to Hire People with People Skills

August 28, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Everyone needs people skills.

We all accept that (even though there are plenty of jobs that require minimal contact with other humans), but what does it mean? And what skills do we need in today’s climate? Technical skills, of course, vary across jobs and industries, but people skills

It’s Not Pushy to Ask to Be Paid

August 26, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Offspring #1 cat sits. She’s very, very good at it. People will say, “oh my cat is shy and you probably won’t see him the entire time we’re gone,” and within 2 minutes, the cat is purring on her lap.

Ellen’s “Generous” Benefits Package to Make up for a Toxic Workplace

August 25, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Ellen DeGeneres is nice. Of course, she is. It’s her persona. She’s always doing nice things for people and she is so personable and funny. It stands to reason that her staff loves her just as much as her fans do.

Join Our “Young” Team? Hello, Age Discrimination

August 17, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Maybe it’s because I’m old (legally in the United States, as I’m over 40), but “young” doesn’t seem like a good word to use to describe your team. And yet, a Resume writing company uses it. (Thanks to a reader for taking a screenshot and sending this to me.)

Should You Quit Before a Layoff?

August 14, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

I’ve worked as a branch manager at a large bank for ten years. About five weeks ago, my branch was verbally notified that our branch would be closing in just over 90 days (customer notice of 90 days is required).

I was verbally told they want to keep

If You Have 80 Internship Candidates and Not One Is Good Enough, You’re the Problem

August 14, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

When I was an undergraduate political science student at Brigham Young University, a new professor just transferred in from Princeton. We asked him what the difference was between BYU students and Princeton students. His answer?

August 7, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

An acquaintance just got her first job after being a stay at home mom for many years. She’s a recruiter. Salary? $10 an hour.

Take that in for a minute.

She could make more money working fast food, yet a company is trusting her to be part of

Recruitment is Weird Right Now: a Focus on the Positive

August 7, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Unemployment is through the roof, and there are absolutely no jobs available right now. Or, is it: Companies are desperate to hire and cannot get enough qualified applicants?

It’s both. And it’s peculiar. COVID has split the hiring world between high unemployment in some sectors and people scrambling to

Swiss Saturday: English

August 7, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

There’s a joke that Switzerland is the only country to have a national language that no one speaks: German

August 5, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

August 3, 2020 | Patrick Della Valle Filed Under: HR Headlines

Due to safety guidelines, you are probably conducting all interviews over the phone or via video conferencing. Fair enough.

This is the type of situation that comes up from time
