I suppose were it not so stupid it would be funny, but apparently the head of HR is now the “Chief Talent officer.”
Jeez, what kind of "talent" are youse guys hiring?I suppose were it not so stupid it would be funny, but apparently the head of HR is now the “Chief Talent officer.”
I had to look her up on Google because I was unfamiliar with the name. Once I found out what she is famous for it made perfect sense that I didn't know of her because she's a chef and I loathe cooking.
I still can't understand why the Personnel Department became Human Resources. As for Chief Talent Officer, sounds to me like PC gone mad.
I don't think Nigella is famous for her cooking as much as her culinary lovemaking. Viewers & male viewers in particular, are far too mesmerized to learn anything about cooking.
YouTube is your friend if you'd like a taste of the Nigella experience.

Unless you're retired.Like it or not, we're all in show business -- dancing for pennies, singing for our supper, and smiling desperately in hopes of pleasing our masters, er, the audience.
There's a story in our press today of a lottery winner, who won £2.7M in 1995, and didn't retire.Unless you're retired.
I work at an expensive private University in the Midwest (disclosure I am an alum) that is trying to stay relevant and competitive in an area that has no less than 7 colleges and universities plus two community college systems within about a 40 minute drive of each other . It definitely is feel-good, warm and fuzzy land around here.

In muddy situations, mud-flaps are not necessarily used. When it rains they keep the spray of wet roads down so that cars behind you can see what's going on ahead of them. This is especially important on highways at high speeds.
Rereading this part of the thread, it occurs that the worst part of the situation is that we live in a world where an educational institution has to be more concerned about "staying competitive" than what would presume to be its actual mission -- a presumed institution of the mind reduced to the level of selling itself like a box of soap. God Bless America.
Containers marked with the recyclable triangle symbol and number to identify the type of material, that is nevertheless non-recyclable because no facilities make use of it, being too expensive to process and/or be bought back by makers of the self-same containers because it's cheaper to buy newly produced material, but you put it out in the recycling box anyway because at the end of the day it's out of your house and they pick up recycling for free whereas garbage is a paid for service by one means or another (yearly fee in our case with a mandated sized container).
