My LinkedIn post that says “ 🤔🤔 So Palantir Technologies is trying to convince the uneducated that their CEO’s behavior during that meeting/interview is because he’s #neurodivergent. As both an HR professional of nearly 30 years and a member of a family with both #addiction and #neurodivergence in excess, I highly doubt this “story.”There’s nothing wrong with getting help for addiction, either… but it’s a terrible look to “cosplay” while under the influence as being neurodivergent. 😔 #Courage #PeopleMatter #EmployeeWellbeing #DrugfreeWorkplace The New York Times

Kudos to Cinnabon for putting its money where its mouth is and terminating this employee. #Employers have an obligation to ensure safe and respectful workplaces not only for customers, but for their employees, as well.

Me, personally, I bring a “well, then, what do we have to change to make it happen?” energy that annoys my colleagues and associates. 😉
Image of two social media posts. One says: “I bring a sort of ‘but how come?’ energy that parents, teachers, pastors, second lieutenants and bosses have never been appreciative of.” The other says “I bring a lot of ‘I don’t mind doing things your way if you explain to me why’ that every single authority figure I’ve met in my life has been fuming to death and back about.”

My LinkedIn post with a link to the Newsweek article about nursing no longer being counted as a “professional degrees” and yet a theology degree program is included. My post says: So nursing programs are no longer counted as professional degrees (and eligible for higher loans), but THEOLOGY is?!?

My LinkedIn post with a link to the article about Boeberts costume. My post says Wow… just wow… as an #HRProfessional and a citizen of the world, I hope ALL #USEmployers call out and condemn this outright racism that has no place in our places of work… the #USGovernment is this nation’s LARGEST employer. Like any other employee who would be so callous and racist, she should be removed from her office for conduct unbecoming.

My LinkedIn post that quotes Graham first: ⁉️ “We're killing all the right people and we're cutting your taxes! Trump is my favorite president. We've run out of bombs. We didn't run out of bombs in World War II!” My comment: I mean, WHAT?!? So the #Republican party - by proxy of the Senator - is openly admitting it’s killing people… “the right people”… hmmm….

My LinkedIn post that starts with a quote from the Politico article and ends with my comments: Quote They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers.
