Since this is the most active thread, I figured I'd let everyone know that I upgraded every member in this group to "Approved Member" status which means you should have many more things you can do here including messaging each other, bigger profile pictures, etc. etc. If you're not an Approved Member, just contact me and, at the very worst, use the contact form and I'll take care of it. We are also moving to a very cool new platform next month. Anything you post here, including icons, photos, etc. should all migrate smoothly to the new system. Many thanks to Betty3 for making sure I could identify some of the changes we needed to make.
On an HR note, I used to be legal counsel in a large Internet company back in during the bubble. Dealing with HR folks was definitely one of the most interesting work I've ever done. Probably none of this will surprise you but the top issues I recall dealing with were (1) the guys on the tech team using some of our resources for peer to peer media sharing (a... um... euphemism.
) (2) One guy who downloaded at work what he dared not download near the wife at home, and (3) dealing with management of our "celebrity" employees and their idiosyncracies. Most of them were awesome people and only a handful had 16 wheeler baggage... anyways... talk amongst yourselves.
