4. "If you had my manager, you'd drink on the job, too."
5. "You're kidding. That's harassement?"
6. "There's five bucks in it for you if that write-up disappears."
7. "Is this drug test, like.....hard?"
8. "Job History? My school didn't offer that class!"
9. "Of course you can't see him. He's Invisible!!!"

Shades of a conversation I had with a new client:

One of her Higher-ups (upon being informed of harassment complaints against him) stated, "I'm a man - she should expect me to look...." oh yes; this was the same man who thought that harassmment prevention training was a waste of time.

**Shakes head and sighs** long day indeed.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
