What’s a Christmas bonus?!

I don’t think Christmas bonuses are a common thing but maybe that’s just me. It’s more like a Christmas bonus/gift for the legal staff who don’t receive a “bonus”.

We do end of year so have to lollygag on dec 31 to know as soon as the checks are cut if you’re getting one

Hello fellow HR pros! I really need your opinions on HR certifications. I am deciding between PHR and SHRM-cp. I have read just about all there is online comparing the two and can not decide. My heart is telling me PHR, my mother in law (an HRBP) is telling me to go with SHRM, as it’s more widely recognized, more established and a larger network in general. I work for a 350~ company who is growing rapidly through M&A. Passions/interests are compliance, strategic vision, M&A, branding and culture
