I Don’t Need a Weatherman to Tell Me If It’s Raining at My House

Isn’t it interesting that the same people who laugh at science fiction listen to weather forecasts and economists?
–Kelvin Throop III

This ends Economic Downturn Week at KnowHR. I don’t have to tell you about how the economy is doing, you can walk around and observe it yourself.

There is a certain contingent of economists who would like to deny that we’re in a recession, as if the definition of “recession” is written in stone. When those know-it-alls start talking, I look at these quotes and chuckle.

No matter your take on the economy, doing the right thing in HR is always the right thing to do. Even an economist couldn’t argue with that.

    Go with your gut. Know what you know… HR.

    TJ and JT, two sides of a very shiny coin. Use data, but make decisions and go is always a good plan.
