Comment Re:A group that deserves slop! (Score 1) 37

I have very little respect for corporate HR and in particular their ability to adequately handle employee grievances.

That isn't their goal. Their entire reason for existing is to protect the company. The company pays them, they do what the company wants.

When HR helps an employee, it's because the employee's situation has become a threat to the company. If you can find a way to phrase your problem in those terms, then HR will resolve your problem. Otherwise they'll try to make it go away (which might mean making you go away).

I've thought about it, and I don't think your writing is boring. That is, you don't have a problem with writing technique. In particular, your writing is clear and I understand it.

There's a saying, "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, it is a fire to be kindled." I think attempting to fill vessels instead of start a fire makes a good impression of being boring. So better to focus on kindling fires and watch the results in your students bloom like fireworks.
