Take your pie hole to the kitchen

Most supplement agreements and IT policies talk about it: "Don't eat at your desk". It is nicely written in there because whatever you eat and drink could get into your keybpard, computer, phone, or the table in front or next to the eating. But not only that such occurings would disturb the working process, and believe me the IT also, who will have to fix it. It also disturbs your co-workers. Because no they do not want to hear your jaws breaking of your highly overseasoned chicken thigh nor do they want to smell everything you have taken into your pie hole. The best thing to do when you have hardly to no time and still wanna grab something to eat, get something that smells less and makes good to no noise. But if you need further advice, click here or read your companys policy.

By the way.  In Germany the courts had to decide wether it was a reason to fire someone who (nurse at a seniors home) ate a roll on her way to the next patient. It wasn't, but it was worth a written warning. 
Keep the crumbs away from the desk, the harsh smelling food out of the office and get you pie hole to the kitchen or outside to eat. It is not called a break for no reason! Take a break from your desk!

Disney love or Disney fuss?

To be honest, I decided to move to Hawai'i when i saw a job ad from the Disney spa resorts in 'Aulani. I also decided to one day work at Disney also.
As HR I automatically look into reports on how the employer, in this case Disney, really "functions". After praisals of Diversity and even reports by workers on their Homepage, I noticed how superficial their little report is and less about Disney as employer reveals. So google-ing further - actually just one search subject line later - I landed on letstalkdisney.com. A blog bout Disney by a fan and great critic. Especially enlightened I was about this very entry.

Noticing how many employées had such bad experience I was wondering about how Disney wants to defend its position and most important CHANGE their (harsh) ways regarding employer relations. Maybe the Hawaiian spirit of Ho'oponopono will eventually rub off on it as overall company policy. Not that it has enough already.
As for now though it does what most big companies do handling bad reviews as employer - being quiet.

But that sure is not the solution. Even great names in the business can be avoided as employer (speaking from experience).
