Blog Post CommentI hear & see where you are coming from. At work I have to carry over & or "bank" leave I have not taken in a "leave year". So the following year I have more to take but I still may not have the need to take this leave. If the concept of unlimited leave was used, this situation would not exist & I would be comfortable in the knowledge that should the circumstances occur the leave would be available if required... Simple.. Having said that, I do work with some (very undisciplined)...

Blog Post CommentVery interesting ideas. I will try to get a copy of Built to last. Here are two links to a fellow LiveCloud member. First one is her LiveCloud account. The second one is a link to the book she has available regarding on-line behaviors. Check them out if you get a chance. by Communitygirl 18 Rules for community engagement

Blog Post CommentYes, we know her! We're working with her on another project.

Blog Post CommentWhy do you think it was that there was no trouble on the original Groupee side of things until it merged into LiveCloud?. You have to admit we had a very well behaved bunch. Sadly this no longer exists as a result of these "rogue group of members" We had something special IMO.
-
Blog Post CommentAre you talking about the GaGaJoyJoy users? If so, then that would be due to that community being merged into LiveCloud. The original Groupee and LiveCloud are the same thing (at the core), just with the addition and subtraction of some features.
-
Blog Post CommentReference: Are you talking about the GaGaJoyJoy users A very small proportion of them. Nearly all of them are great but that is when this "rogue element" started
-
Blog Post CommentYeah, that group of people came from another large community that was integrated into LiveCloud, so that will naturally change things.

Blog Post CommentHi Rosemary, I heard about this news on King 5 today and admire you for your courage and conviction. I am a fan of this style of leadership and have had little success implementing it myself. I would love to be able to chat with you sometime, if you have some time. I look forward to hearing back from you. PS: I am not looking for a job . Tarang | http://tarangkaushal.livejournal.com/ MBA Candidate, Class of 2010 Michael G.

Blog Post CommentI would like to commend you for the spirit of your efforts. Hopefully, your smaller payroll will allow you to make this system work. But for most corporations, I firmly believe this approach would be doomed to failure. This policy will turn into a nightmare for any who would rebel against the oppression seen in corporations who create policies based on the performance of the LCD. The standard will be set not by "Disciplined people who engage in disciplined thought and who take disciplined...

Blog Post CommentI don't understand how this works with medical leave. What if someone has a long illness -- are they still getting paid their usual wages/salary? In my company, we believe we are renting 40 hours per week of our employees' time. We do not expect them to work longer hours to do their jobs. We would never put them in the position of competing against each other for who can work the longest hours. We have single mothers and older people on our payroll. We have no desire to pit these people...

Blog Post CommentReference: Sounds like a great system for o/c overachievers who have no other lives. Not at ALL true, donnarae! Ever since I've started working at Social Strata (10 years in May), I've heard about the necessary balance of life and work, and I've been encouraged to live outside of work. All of us have lives, some of us have small children and some have important parts to play in others' lives. There are no overachievers with no other lives here! This CAN work. In ANY company. The key is...

Blog Post CommentI hope it works -- I think it is a great way to treat employees. I don't think our bunch is ready for it. Too many little squabbles and turf wars going on. How do you handle abuse? At some point, if it is abused, some kind of action has to occur. I know that you have exceptional employees and don't anticipate any problems, but do you have a plan for what to do if someone does abuse it? Thanks, Donna

Blog Post CommentI LOVE the idea of this Rosemary ... but I really can't see it taking off in the UK? I know that sounds a bit negative ... but I just don't think we are brave enough to try it!! Interesting that you mention Best Busy ... I recall a story about them a while ago where they were recruiting, and one of the criteria was that the applicant had to have 250 followers on Twitter. I'd love to read your opinion on that
-
Blog Post CommentLOL thanks Rexi! You guys already have some mandates about paid leave time anyway, right? I hadn't heard about Best Buy's recruiting concept regarding Twitter. Sounds like something that might have been a good idea to help evaluate whether the candidate is "social" or not, but that's kind of a random metric to pluck out of thin air. With all of the auto-followers and schemes out there, number of Twitter followers is too easy to game. If I wanted to hire "socially engaged" employees (and I...
-
Blog Post CommentBlimey I'd best go and sign up with Twitter etc. I am sooo bad at this social media malarky! I do have a FB account ... but I only have three friends!! Not because no one likes me, but because I only set it up to keep up with two friends who live abroad (the other one lives round the corner). I reject all the friend requests that I receive

Blog Post CommentI was very pleased to find this site.I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post. Thanks for your blog

Blog Post CommentHi Gail, for the beta sites, only the SuperAdmin account is recognized, so you need to login with that account (you can have the SuperAdmin set up a fresh password when you're done). If you need more help with this, please email [email protected] and we can troubleshoot with you.

Blog Post CommentNo, I wasn't blocked. I just noticed that in the past if I signed up as a new member under my IP address on my hoop.la site using a different email address as a test member, I could not send a dialog to that test member & I attributed that to having the same IP since I was also the Admin because the system shows the registration IP & the last IP used to login. If the system however is not wired to see that as a conflict, then something else was blocking my ability to receive a dialog...
