Comment on Professionalism at work in the holiday season by George Bailey

Very insightful. I think a variation of this would be very useful for other occasions in the office as well. Mixing it up gives everyone a better time and lets everyone look forward to the event. Good for moral!

I love going to conferences and networking events. Meeting new people and hearing their stories has got to be one of the best parts! I have to justify taking time off for such an event. In my case, I’m paying for it, so I can just say it’s free to them to have me better training.

Thanks for the advice Michael. Although we intuitively know that this is something which has probably been happening for a very long time, it is still a disappointment when we spot something which we are certain is a problem, especially from someone we know. Caution is definitely required!

My answer is – don’t take CV’s at face value. Check out at least a sample of the entries if you are considering hiring somebody. Always ask for reference and call them, and in addition ask for the contact details of a few past employers. With the advent of "public" venues such as LinkedIn, Facebook etc etc (I am not familiar with them all!), it is unfortunately too easy for people to put things into the public domain, and even to "highjack" proper entries and modify them maliciously. Don’t be surprised, be cautious.

That kind of stupid work done. Funny though. Why they just don’t remove the fallen tree. Professionalism? What the heck… LOL.

I absolutely love this picture – yes, I did laugh out loud! But your point is well made. To me a major element of professionalism is responsibility. Please save me from the sharp intake of breath and "that’s not my job" or "that’s not in my job description".
