| Transactional Machiavellian-ism |
Hi Gloria,
This is a private note just to tell
you how much I admire you, although we lock horns all the time.
I must admit that your blog has made
me famous and I thank you for that. I promise never to share with your readers the
fact that that every time I am featured in your blog, readership soars. Your
blog is all about you, Babes, and I would take off my hat to you, if I wore
one. No one wears a hat anymore, blacha mucha.
As I have come to know you, not in
the Biblical sense, I have "come" to realize that
you are an "HR essentialist". Yes, you vacillate from slogan to slogan, from data to intuition, from business partnership to people day, from
boot-licking CEO Stan to kissing his hairy ass. However, all this is consistent
with HR essentialism.
Gloria baby, you have
taught me about the set of
attributes which are necessary to the identity, function and long term survival of HR: Machiavellian transactionalism,
loyalty to the regime whilst remaining semantically au courant, agile ethical pliability, procedures, policing and good common sense. And your legs don't do any damage either.
Political correctness does not enable
Obama et al to understand foreign policy, especially Mid-Eastern affairs and
the plans of Comrade Putin. And Trump appeals to the vastly undereducated well
fed Americans who want more revenge after 9/11. While my heart is with Obama on
most issues, I have always wanted a heavier hand in foreign policy. And whilst
I want a heavy hand in foreign policy, that hand needs to be connected to a
brain. Sorry for digressing, but I needed to get that off my chest kibinimat.
Gloria, I drink to your health.
Le-chaim, even though you are not Jewish, nor am I.
Eleanor Roosevelt said that "a
woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot
water." I salute you! You are the
ultimate uber HR manager. Please provide me big data for the Q4 2019 bonuses.
A
kiss on your frigid cold Canadian cheek,
Comrade
