If you find most NHOs to be "less than effective," I have an idea you can steal. In fact, I hope you do.
For those who've been "lucky" enough to sit through a mind-numbing corporate orientation, you'll understand when I say that most of these things are a huge waste of time and energy. Why so harsh? Well, in my experience, a new employee cannot possibly remember the overwhelming amounts of detail we throw at them. Yet somehow we feel compelled to continue this archaic practice.
That's why I'm challenging some brave soul to rethink the entire process. What if--stay with me, here--we made orientation exactly that: an orientation. Think of it literally. When we are in a new geographical area, we have to orient ourselves to the surroundings. That has never once meant learning every detail about every detail. When visiting a city for the first time, no one needs to know the name and function and leadership structure of every company in town. New hires don't need to know all that stuff either. More than anything, I think new hires need to be given a functional road map of the company and then shown how to use that map to get answers to questions as they arise. Most importantly, they need to be made to feel like what they just signed on to really matters. They need to walk away feeling that this journey with your company, though not without challenges, will be exciting and full of people willing to help along the way. If properly oriented, a new hire then has a reason to pursue knowledge that will aid in the day-to-day, rather than being inundated with it up front and out of context.
Nice blog, but I am not responding to this specific one. Instead, I'd like to draw your attention to Fairtax fine print.
NOT the hustle -- not the promises -- not the BS. But the actual fine print and actual research,
When you read the actual research and actual fine print, you will see why Fairtax own researcher repudiated it categorically, and why testimony to Congress show it not to be flawed, but an outright fraud.
And you will also see why no rational serious candidate would support it. The massive taxes that they "gloss over" or hide, on city and states, in ADDITION to the taxes directly on people, are so goofy, so massive, so preposterous, and so unconstituional, that the Fairtax is just a silly bit of nonsense.
In fact, I am a former Fairtax supporter who read the fine print and asked questions. I now offer 50,000 cash -- serious and legally binding offer -- if ANYONE can show proof that Fairtax is just a personal retail sales tax of 23% to replace all other fed taxes.
That is the HUSTLE -- the 23% perssonal retail sales tax. But that is only a fraction of what Fairtax taxes. See for yourself.
We need a new tax code, absolutely. We don't need deception and BS.
