My parents own a small business. The company is pretty small, so they have a tough time finding the right person for the job. When I started college, they hired a young guy to take my place. They were thrilled, because the guy was always on…"

I rarely (if ever) talk about my wife Jen (to the left here) in this blog. This isn't an intended slight but just the fact that the subject matter here rarely crosses into that territory. If you ask her, I think she prefers it that way too. So if this post is a slight deviation to what you normally read here, I hope you'll understand that the reason it is making it on here is because it is more important than anything else I have to share with you.A year ago this month,… Continue

Suzanne Dodge said… - Hi Lance,
I made a donation in honor of my dear friend, Kim Rudi, who passed away a few months ago from Breast Cancer. Jen is a beautiful woman (which is obvious on the outside and apparently on the inside as well based on your testament). I wish you two many more years of happiness and health together!
Best,
Suzanne

Mark Stelzner said… - Hi Lance -
Nice job combining the power of HR Bloggers with HRM Today. I'll be curious to watch how you guys cross-pollinate with one another. I'm sure others here will be anxious to determine how to monetize their blogs either as individuals or via the collective.
Best,
Mark
