While you were busy pondering about a thousand or so unanswered questions, wondering why you never thought to put your favorite NBA team’s logo on a pizza (seems so obvious now, doesn’t it?), taking the movie Up a little too literally or planning an amaaaaazing Memorial Day barbecue, here’s what you may have missed in the world of talent management and recruitment.
- The latest ‘fired because of Facebook’ story is a total joke.
- Saying no to employee vacation requests could get you burned.
- Take that, Farmville, Mafia Wars and Scrabble…Even after all these years, Pac-Man’s still got it.
- An ex-employee tried to give away secrets of the club that’s made for you and me.
- Zappos’ CEO discusses delivering happiness (and not just in the form of shoes…although that’s a close second).
- Employees will play a critical part in the United Airlines and Continental merger.
- FYI…when you hire Gen Y, you’re also hiring their parents. And finally…
- Quit happens.
