Just in case you were not paying attention to earnings released the other day for Amazon, here you go. Like the article says, just because second quarter profits dropped, doesn't mean it's bad news. And it's not.

Don't be a Food Thief
Hey hey! Out here on the West Coast I sometimes think we are too nice. And while I'm a West Coaster, my sign would have read very different and in turn, would not have stayed on the fridge long:-) This message is nice and to the point. My counterparts on the East Coast know how to make a sign and leave a note, that's for sure:-)
Have a good one. Oh, and come on, bring your own grub people!!!Thursday, June 9, 2011

(Technology) Gang of Four
Hey Everyone! Great article from yesterday that I wanted to share. Based on the title, I first thought of a new comic book crew and then a new gangster movie. And I would lean more towards gangster movie based on the war for hiring talent that is going on for all 4 in the market right now. Enjoy the read and happy hunting to all my recruiting friends!

From 2010, but it's a good read
Good Monday Morning folks. I was dorking off this weekend reading through the blogs I like to follow and somehow I came across this entry from last year. First of all, Neil has a reputation of being a thought leader and a driver of innovation. And that's just what I have heard and read about him! There were many things that caught my eye throughout the article, but as a Recruiter, this is is one I wanted to immediately share with my hiring managers."Hiring gets harder and harder. The temptation when you get bigger is to let professionals — HR and recruiters — handle hiring. It has to be a significant part of everyone’s job."Recruiting is a key piece in hiring, but cannot be the only piece. In the end, a great hire for the company is a team effort. Thanks for recognizing this Neil. Hope your week goes well everyone. BR

What "scoring" cost Davies
Good Morning. In checking out some sports highlights this morning I came across this article. I’m more of a college football fan than basketball, but a write up like this will catch you eye.
I jab my Mormon and Utah friends for various things, mainly because I am a heathen, a complete smart ass and I love to rib them. But you read something like this and I have to be honest, you have to respect what the school has put in place and that they actually hold you accountable.
Whether you buy in to it or not, again I say, you have to respect it….or you don’t, whatever. They are very clear about it up front, go through quite the process before you become a student, and enforce it.
I grew up watching Danny Ainge play pro ball (more the Celts than just DA himself) and like his quote from the article: "I think it's a great code of conduct," said Ainge, whose children have also attended BYU. "It teaches discipline, teaches kids to not live in a world of instant gratification. It's a different culture — and I love that culture."
I hate to see Davies expelled or something crazy like that, but he should be disciplined for agreeing/signing the contract and then not honoring it. At the same time, he does deserve the opportunity to receive a good education.
Instant gratification - that’s what today is all about, what society has instilled as the norm and what seems to get stronger with every generation. Yeah, it’s annoying. Time for my double tall extra hot mocha.
Have a great weekend everyone.
