Interviewed for a HR Manager position today virtually over zoom & one Director had her camera on & the other Director had her camera off? I thought that was weird? Also, has any HR Professionals during the interview stage been asked to supply “writing samples” of an involuntary termination script and an example of a PIP? Not sure how I feel about supplying this information? This is a first for me … Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

A coworker (diff depts) and I realized we live in the same neighborhood after running into each other on the street. We started talking more in the office and he ended one convo with “we should get drinks sometime”. I gave him my number via slack and said to hit me up when he wants to get together. Hadn’t heard from him in a couple weeks then connected him to my friend who works for a company he’s trying to sell to. Then he asked if I’d set him up with my friend :( think I have any chance?

My side gig is grading practice essays as a bar exam tutor. The bar exam is next week and I’m burnt TF out from grading so many essays this summer. So, today, I made the student grade their own essay as a “self critique” during our session. I also came in from work right before the session. Took my suit off and couldn’t be bothered to find other pants. So I totally did the zoom session in my boxers and a t-shirt. IDGAF.

I have a tenant who is late on rent after having JUST signed an updated lease last month when we bought the property from the previous owner. He has a history of being late on rent. He paid 8 days late and the check bounced. He is now 17 days late and saying the late fees are too much and unfair. We have a meeting set with him tonight and my question is whether we should cut him slack, or make him pay up or leave. Fee details are in comment 1

How do you keep politics/current events out of your teams and organizations/culture during these hyper tribal and partisan times? Of course I’ve said the standard “no discussion of religion/politics. no matter what your stance/viewpoint is.” That doesn’t seem to work though.
People still post memes in Slack. People still make underhanded political comments in meetings. Etc etc. I rolled a manager off of the project in a very public way as an example, but that only temporarily improved behavior.

The smaller company has good benefits, great wlb and a great culture per Glassdoor reviews. But its an HR software and not easy to sell.
Compensation is similar.

How do you deal with a coworker who just sucks?

A little context: said coworker doesn’t always complete assigned tasks and I, or other teammates, end up having to pick up their slack. All of their written comms and documentation need heavy review and editing, they don’t stick to timelines (even ones they set), they’re unreliable, and overall just really suck. On top of performance issues there has been some behavior issues that have resulted in me going to leadership. (continued below)
