100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses. My, how the stables have turned.

Another good hike today. Picked an era along a river bank that is often quite muddy if not waterlogged. Not so currently; it's been super dry and unseasonably warm in our area this month. So while no muddy shoes, we really could use some 🌧. dupageforest #WestDuPageWoods

I need a Democrat in Congress to propose the ‘Save Donald Trump’s life gun reform bill’ so the Republicans either have to pass it or go on record that they don’t care about protecting Donald Trump.

Good memory #otd 2012. The missus and I were in a Chicago production of The Sound of Music. She brought the house down as Mother Abbess. I performed as an Archbishop. The running in-joke was that the Archbishop and Mother were "together" as my wife was 6 months pregnant. Haha

I quit a job 5 years ago around this time. The person who hired me got fired about 10 months prior (for shit reasons), and I stayed around to see if things would improve. Nope. And I dealt with toxic sharks. One of the best job decisions I made. Don't settle. #jobadvice

Employers: if you are getting frequent offer rejections: -Are your compensation offers inline with the job market? -Are you moving candidates along in the interview process within days, or taking a week or more? -Do you NEED to see multiple candidates to compare? #Recruiting

Companies that cancel interviews. 🚩🚩🚩 Sure, there could be compelling reasons to do so, but it's also unprofessional.

Clawback. An amount of money given as a perk (e.g. tuition reimbursement) that usually has a payback period if an employee leaves prior. Job seekers: know your clawback details and the ramifications if you leave prior to the end. It could factor in your search. #recruiting

BREAKING: Chicago City Council has voted to protect ShotSpotter with a 33-14 defeat for Mayor Brandon Johnson. This is a historic loss for Johnson, who canceled the contract, and a win for the vast majority of Chicago voters who supported this commonsense alert system. Thank

Today's my Friday, tomorrow off work. This weekend, doing something I haven't done in probably 20-25 years: camping. As in staying in a tent. A buddy and I are venturing to the Driftless Region (hilly, bluffs) on the Mississippi River where WI-IA meet. Should be fun! 🌲🏕🦅

If you're a company with 3 rejected/declined offers over the course of a few weeks for one job, your process likely needs improving. Ask yourself: -How long is our interview process? -How market competitive are our offers? -What is our reputation in the market? #recruitment

Had a few former comrades reach out in recent months. They made the leap from agency recruiting to corporate recruiting. Recently laid off. When asked for corporate recruiting leads, I ask them, would they look back to agency? "No or not now" Fascinating. I wonder why not?
