Nothing Rhymes with Tsotchke
May 5Laser pointers seem like really cool ideas…right up until your training class actually starts to use them.

What’s Hot. What’s Not. Breaking News and Volcano Edition.
Apr 21
This past week, a lot went down in history. AP Style finally gave us permission to use the word “website,” a volcano erupted in Iceland, leaving travelers stranded in and out of Europe, and we made some executive decisions about what’s hot and what’s not.
HOT |
NOT |
| website | Web site |
| “we get it” | “all on the same page” |
| “I’m sorry, I made a mistake.” | “We apologize for the inconvenience.” |
| cloud computing | ash clouds |
| responding to a coworker, ASAP | Requesting all responses ASAP |
Think you know something that’s hot or not? Want us to let you know if it is? Drop us a line and we’ll feature it in our next What’s Hot. What’s Not. article.
HRlolCats – What not to do!
Apr 19Who doesn’t love lolCats? Well, we at KnowHR definitely do. We’re going to bring you some HRlolcats a few times a month. If you have an HRlolCat of your own, send in your cat’s picture, and maybe we’ll feature it in the next HRlolCats post.

SHRM Goes Out of Business: Says HR Is Obsolete
Apr 1Phoenix — The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) announced today that it’s closing its doors because HR doesn’t matter anymore. SHRM spokesperson Ina K. Ding said today, “HR is dead. We see no reason to continue on with this charade. HR was never going to get a place at the table. The table was a myth.”
“What will we do with our SPHR certificates?” asked anguished SHRM member Michael L. Ooser. “I spent all this time and money to get that piece of paper. Now it’s gone.”
The pain and agony of SHRM’s demise was felt most strongly in the HR blogging community. They had to come to the sad realization that Twitter friends aren’t really friends. “What? No SHRM? Where will I go to show off my 1992 vintage khakis and SHRM 2003: We Built the Table t-shirt?”
HR Insists Strategic Bloggers are Different (HRISBAD) issued a call today to not mention the words “Social Media” for a day. HRISBAD also asked HR bloggers to unite by not Tweeting “Good morning!” anymore.
