As always your posts are always informative and introspective.  Many experts agree with your opinion that the future HR manager/director may not exist and that outsourcing HR duties may become the norm.   As with all other trades and professions, HR managers/directors will have to adapt and evolve in order to remain relevant in their field.

I enjoyed reading your post.  I think you make a valid point about outsourcing creating time-consuming tasks when attempting to locate documents.  Having to rely on someone else to provide paperwork or information adds an additional layer of difficulty.  Since the person you are speaking to at this HR company probably has a whole ca…[Read more]

I wanted to highlight the part about your post speaking to the likelihood of HR Managers becoming an entrepreneur.

You gave a good argument regarding the benefits of outsourcing HR. One thing I will say is that nothing is without errors.

I agree with you.  It would be nice if people understood that the fair thing would be for everyone to walk away from the table with something so that everyone would win.  Unfortunately, some employers are greedy and are unwilling to share the wealth and unions can’t always be trusted to do what is in the best interests of its m…[Read more]

I agree that unions need to have checks and balances so as to ensure that they are doing what is in the best interest of its members.   You would think that in an era when unions are becoming obsolete, union officials would be more concerned with figuring out how to keep unions alive instead of getting involved in corruption schemes t…[Read more]

I like that you “if they participated in the negotiations they were going to be treated poorly for the rest of their lives”. because now the company is competing with capitalism.

This thread was a great read. I like how you explained your view points on this topic and you finished strong

You put a lot of thought into your threat and I like how you touched on topics like ethical dilemma with lock outs hurting both employees and employers.
