February 1, 2009

This week's top five HR-related web treats for your Friday afternoon:

5. Best cities for salary growth
4. Workers triple pay in one afternoon
3. Females can't win at interviews
2. Police condemned for pretend bank robbers
1. Anonymous advice for your boss

5. Best cities for payroll HR
Steak-mad Texas and Mormons-dominated Utah still provide around 10% increase in salaries on average.

4. Workers triple pay in one afternoon
State highway workers in the US stumbled upon $100,000 while cleaning a ditch.

3. Females can't win at interviews
Research suggests women are damned if they do act confident and assertive, and damned if they don't, when it comes to job interviews.

2. Police condemned for pretend bank robbers
Chinese police have come under fire for using actors to portray bank robbers during a training exercise, and failing to inform bank staff or customers that the ensuing hostage crisis was "all part of the act".

1. Anonymous advice for your boss
A new website launched by Careerbuilder.com allows employees to give anonymous feedback/advice to their boss. Top pre-made tip: "One out of 10 people think a barking dog ring tone is funny. That one person is you."

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
