Publisher's summary

This book is about the stuff you learn when you've worked for a boss you'd swear jumped out of a Dilbert cartoon; worked in a business whose performance careened up and down like a runaway clown car; when you've faced legal or ethical problems that needed the wisdom of Solomon to sort out while they roiled your guts at night; or when you've sat on the stand across from some third-rate Perry Mason, or tried to be one yourself. It's about what you learn when you've knocked yourself out to put measurable six-figure savings back on the company's bottom line; or when an employee pleads for her job with tears in her eyes as she lies through her teeth to your face, or when you've faced down an employee who was spoiling for any chance he could get to sue your organization crippled; or maybe when you've dealt with the employee who told his supervisor he's going to shoot himself. Like almost everyone else, whenever I've cleaned up some human resources mess - or made one of my own - I would learn something that I tucked in my back pocket, to pull out as needed when something similar popped up. Some people call this their bag of tricks or wisdom. I've always thought of it as my little black book.

Practically, anybody with 15 or so years of experience could have created this book, and surely some would have done better. I guess I just thought of it first. I can't do much about that, but I hope that a peek through my little black book of HR will spare you, dear listener, a few bloody noses in your HR career or shave a few degrees off of your learning curve.

This is a chapter-level book. The full book is available as The Little Black Book of Human Resources Management.

this horrible and one sided!!

There are real people in this world trying to get medical treatment bc of a work place injury bc of a bad business! this just made it sound like all workers comp cases are fake and everyone who makes a claim is a liar. Ever thought that the company is at fault and they are lying?
I'm so happy you're not my HR rep. I bet you fire people who make claims or find any excuse to fire them.

Do not waste a credit on this

This is a 15 minute advertisement for a Human Resources book. It is a waste of time.

I don’t think I’d even give this a 1.

Pay attention to the length!!! I was very disappointed!!! 10 minutes, don’t waste your credit!
