August 7, 2009

Here are some of the best quirky stories about the world of work from the past week.

  1. A coffee shop is recruiting female baristas whose only skill is to look good in bikinis
  2. A call centre worker at the National Pandemic Flu Service was sacked after catching swine flu
  3. Graduate Hannah George is the first woman in the world to gain a degree in stand-up comedy (no joke)
  4. Retired police dogs are being paid a pension to help pay for their food and medical care
  5. Queen bees produce a special scent to control her workers and scientists believe it could have implications for human behaviour - potentially in the workplace
Happy reading - enjoy the weekend!

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.
