Don't Be an HR Seagull
Jul 31
I’m sitting on the deck of our vacation house looking over the sun coming up on the Atlantic Ocean. I see the sun glinting, the waves rolling…and seagulls. Lots of seagulls.
Remember that old joke about the definition of a corporate seagull? A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.
My little HR hint to you today if you’re thinking about writing some dumb policy that applies to exactly one person who stepped out of line this year: Don’t be an HR seagull.

Seagulls that loiter the Pathmark Shopping center in South Philly look a lot less graceful than the ones at the shore.
Jimmy, there’s something about the possibility that the shore gulls are looking for fish. At the Pathmark, they’re just fishing for trash.
Frank,
I’m thinking that it would be a hoot sitting on your dock with you contemplating such lofty things.
I’m also hoping that your message grounded a flock of HR Seagulls.
