10+ Things To Do When You Resign
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 31st, 2008I love the Blog “10 Things” and I particularly love this post about the 10+ things one needs to do when one resigns:
#1: Write the resignation letter
Even though a resignation letter might not be required, it’s a nice touch, and writing one is the professional thing to do. The letter needn’t be long. All it [...]
No More Benefits for You
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 31st, 2008This just seems wrong. Either the company covers domestic partners or it doesn’t. I don’t believe that the inability to register as domestic partners should have any affect upon existing benefits coverage for a couple whose relationship was previously deemed valid.
Essentially, a gay couple moved from New Jersey, a state that [...]
San Francisco City Payroll
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 29th, 2008I’m not sure if SF Chronicle did the most professional thing by putting people’s salaries out there for all to see. But when we’re faced with city layoffs, furloughs and budget reductions, I guess this is enough to piss anyone off.
Myself included.

Be Quiet, HR’s Here
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 27th, 2008I’m not sure if this happens to anyone else, but it seems that no matter where I work, I always hear “Stop talking, HR’s here” or “You can’t say that, Lori is in the room” or some other inane version of this tripe. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not so uptight that I [...]
10 Percent Layoffs at CNET
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 26th, 2008It looks like CNET laid off 10% of their US workforce today in order to streamline the company. More about this here and here and here.
Here is an example someone who’s been streamlined. The picture alone says quite a lot to me.
This makes me sad. I know people who work [...]
Social Network Profiles
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 23rd, 2008Interesting debate. On one hand, one should be able to express one’s beliefs through a personal medium promoted on personal time, however, I am also a big believer that companies should fully aware of whom they are hiring for what.
It’s definitely not clear cut. I’m curious to know how others feel.
Thanks to Scott [...]
Missed Connection
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 23rd, 2008Get a load of this. Yeah, I’ll make sure to include my picture when I apply to this one. And I’ll be ready to sue (I’ve got a few protected classes going for me) when they decide not to interview me. Easy money, doncha think?
Unbelievable.
Many thanks to Derek Reimer for passing this [...]
Individuals Not Held Liable
Posted by Lori Dorn on March 17th, 2008According to California Supreme Court in Jones v. The Lodge at Torrey Pines, individual supervisors cannot be held individually liable for retaliation under FEHA.
From Shaw Valenza:
The California Supreme Court continued a trend on Monday, March 3, 2008, when it held in Jones v. The Lodge at Torrey Pines that supervisors cannot be held individually liable [...]
