The world of human resources, people management and employment
law is often mindnumbingly dull. Contract interpretation, policy
enforcement, compliance seminars, benefits calculations, peer
evaluation processes ... it's enough to put people to sleep
sometimes.
But fear not! This month I have collected four odd, interesting
stories from around the country to provide a few valuable
lessons.
Paranormal activity in the office
Two employees for a county in Montana were reprimanded recently
after it was discovered that they had installed in their office
hidden cameras that could have spied on co-workers. The employees
explained that they were working with the Butte Paranormal
Investigative Team in an effort to capture ghosts on video. They
decided the best way to go about it was to install a few recording
devices in one of the building's little-used rooms.
