@Michael VanDevort, that’s a pretty good premise to start with, huh? Funny how so many get it wrong.

If I could risk ruining a beautifully succint bit of HR Communication poetry, I might add something.
“Truth” is not what your lawyer says is defensable. Truth is what your Grandmother told you it is.

@Bill Strahan…that is a great distinction. Truth is what your Grandmother told you it is. Beautiful.
