Mets pitcher Matt Harvey was suspended for being late and partying. Dont do that.

Mets pitcher Matt Harvey was suspended for being late and partying. Dont do that.Mets pitcher Matt Harvey was suspended for being late and partying. Dont do that.New York Mets starting pitcher Matt Harvey learned a hard lesson when he showed up to work on Sunday. The day before, Harveyhad called in sick, saying he had amigraine.But the Mets werent buying it.Team spokesman Jay Horwitz said Harvey didnt follow team protocol by communicating his medical complaintto one of their trainers. That Saturday evening, the Metssent two security officials to check in on Harvey at his Manhattan apartment. Whatever those security officials saw wasnt convincing. It didnt help that a variety of New York publications filled in the gaps on where Harvey was Fridaynight,throwing back a triple play of top-shelf booze at a nightclub, according to Page Six.On Sunday, the day Harvey was supposed to start against the Marlins, Harvey found out the Mets weregiving him a three-day suspension costing Harvey $84,0 16.39 - or three games worth of pay - for a violation of clubhouse rules.Anybody in that room that misses a day and nobody knows about it, we got to do the saatkorn thing, Collins said about the Mets decision to bench their formerace.Although there were reports that Harvey was going to file a grievanceand challenge the Mets decision, he changed his tune by Tuesday. Obviously, Im extremely embarrassed by my actions, Harvey said in his public mea culpa on Tuesday.Yes, I was out on Friday night, past curfew. I did play golf Saturday morning, and I put myself in a bad place to be ready to show up for a ballgame.Why timeliness mattersYes, Saturday wasnt the day of Harveys scheduled start, but showing up to support your teammates is critical in baseball. To replace Harvey, the Mets flew in Adam Wilk, a minor league pitcher from Las Vegas who hadnt seen the majors in two years. By doing so, the Mets were making a public statement about the kind of clubhouse culture they were enforcing te amwork and work ethic beingmore important than status.And yes, replacement pitcher Wilk cost the Mets a 7-0 loss, but at least he showed up to work.Thats the takeaway from this incident for those of us who arent professional athletes. Your lateness or absence has consequences to the company and your colleagues.In Harveys case, his absence implicitly signals bad cultural values he implies hes too good for this game by not showing up - something legendary coach Geno Auriemma looks for - and that hes not taking the game seriously.With Harveys seniority on the team, his actions become a toxic message that may affect how rookie players think about the team.What to do when youre lateSometimes being late is out of your hands and thats ok. When it happens, explainhow youll prevent this onetime incident from becoming a habit. If you look at the clock and look at where your ride is notand groan, let your boss know whats up.If personal family issues are preventing you from showing up to work on time, explain the issue to your co-workers and your boss. As New York Magazine advises a single mother consistently showing up late to work due to a sons behavioral issues Tell them that youre committed to ensuring that they wont need to cut you any slack the rest of the time, because youre going to be On It.Do all this and you can accomplish what amillion-dollar athlete could not the ability to takeresponsibility for your actions.

The powerful lesson my dad taught me without even trying

The powerful lesson my dad taught me without even tryingThe powerful lesson my dad taught me without even tryingHave you wondered what makes you who you are? I have. Here is my story.I had wanted to write this for long, never knew how it would fall out. That is the risk of writing about sohonigweinhing close to your heart. Here we go.What my deeply intuitive dad naturally didMy first 10 grades of school had one wild card everyday - an unpredictable railway gate that stood in my way to school. It was more often closed than open in the city of Madras (now called Chennai, India). Adding to my commute, I lived farther than 99% of my classmates.Suffice to say, the time between my moms morning good bye and the welcoming aroma of her food when I returned was longer than most. Yet, I always felt blessed that my parents, like many middle class parents of their generation, found a way to prioritize my education above everything else.At that cusp of 11th grade, my dad surprised me. We moved cl oser to school. That change brought a glimmer of opportunity.I could amplify the new found closeness to school to pursue a dream - two year prep for engineering admission exams. There was one big problem. The class for physics started the very next day.Could you have a conversation with Balu sir? I asked my dad. I missed the window - students swarmed Balu sirs home on the day of 10th grade result announcement, mid summer. His classes always overflowed with IIT (Indian Institute Of Technology) aspirants. Balu sir, was the miracle professor at a local college who coached students for competitive IIT Joint Entrance Exam. His gift to generations of Chennai teenagers- he made Physics seem effortless.That evening, my dad and I landed at his home. We were far from the only one. Parents were waiting at his verandah - a front porch enclosure with grills in place of walls and a raised platform for seating along the sides.As Balu sir returned from work, parents made a beeline with their kid s to speak with him. I wanted us to join the line and egged my father by pulling his hand. He gave that deep, understanding smile of his and motioned me to sit. The best way to describe my dad - a man of few words, loads of smile and far away from the limelight.I knew I was shooting for the moon - I saw hordes of parents walk back with crestfallen looks.The crowd slowly dissipated, Balu sir came our way. How can I help? he asked. My dad replied, please have your dinner first, we will be here. That surprised Balu sir. He did return after his dinner. In the calmness of the night and after a very short conversation, I got the nod to join the class the next day.On my ride back, I was literally jumping up and down - yperit in my reverie.Let me explain why. Narayana Murthy (former CEO of Infosys), a middle class hero made headlines when he said that Stanford was backup for his kids in case they did not get an IIT admission. Those tough entrance exams were low odd outcomes.The positive nod from Balu Sir that day had lower probability odds than a getting a rank in IIT entrance exam especially after I had missed the early window. And my dad made it happen. I was gushing.For the full ride back home, all my dad did was smile - that deep smile of his. The full import of that smile, I never fully understood then- I was consumed by my good luck. I can now relate as a parent.From a parents prism lessons in entrepreneurshipMy dad had a choice to shape the narrative that day. He could have shaped it like many other parents.They came at the right hour and the right place, made a beeline to make a case for their child. And left disappointed. My dad chose a different narrative that goes beyond Jack Dorseys famous advice to entrepreneurs - meet the customer where they are. Jack did that with Square. Small business owners on the road needed an easy way to collect payments. One equipment they carried with him was their cell phones. Connecting the dots, Square was born.My dad d id that and more. He met the customer at their frame of mind.With the words, please have your dinner first, he brought human connectivity center stage - a priority for the person over the task at hand. He understood the human ethos better than most - yours truly included.In business, a sales close is treasured. My dad, a deeply introverted man, made one of the lowest odds close and that too for his son No drama, no bombastic words, no objection handling, just a smile with tinge of pride - for his role in his childs happiness.It is one thing to be successful and provide for your family. It is quite another to open a door for your child, show him how the world could work when the odds were against you without preaching one word.I was blind. Now, I see True reflectionsWe all become who we are without knowing the power of small acts that shaped us. A miracle of tender moments I never fully understood until a child I grew up to become a parent.There was a time I craved to stand on my own. My well-meaning aunts (my fathers sisters) often shared, you have an uncanny resemblance to your dad. I did little things to look different - he left his shirt un-tucked and I tucked it in. Now, I summon my memories and I cling on to many - the one that floats above all - spoke so little yet shared so much, in his acts through his smile - genuine, embracing and above all unbridled.My dad was comfortable being lost in the crowd and was equally at ease in charting his own narrative. He soothed my world with his work ethic. He made me believe miracles are possible with dint of a warm smile.When my four-year-old daughter had difficulty opening a box, she asked for my help. When I helped her with the simple act, she was thrilled and thanked me. All I did was smile.Now, I feel the gravitas of my dads impact.Who he was, I became. My dad, my hero, I miss you.This article appeared on Thrive Global.

The Budget Is In. Heres Where the Feds Will Be Hiring.

The Budget Is In. Heres Where the Feds Will Be Hiring.The Budget Is In. Heres Where the Feds Will Be Hiring.The Budget Is In. Heres Where the Feds Will Be Hiring. By Kathryn Troutman President, The Resume Place, Inc. Federal Career CoachDirector, Ten Steps to a Federal Job Certification ProgramFebruary 20, 2018Like so many presidents before him, Donald Trump has promised to streamline government, in part by trimming the federal workforce. But there are good reasons to believe that Uncle Sam will continue to create great jobs for hundreds of thousands of Americans each yearIn his 2019 budget, the president calls for funding increases in Defense, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs, and Commerce that will raise headcounts.For the remainder of the year after the 90-day hiring freeze last winter, the government hired at about the same rate as in 2016 and 2015 under President Barack Obama.More than one-quarter of federal workers nearly 550,000 of them are 55 or older, the Office of P ersonnel Management reported in September. Tens of thousands of ansicht baby boomers will retire each year.New innovations for recruiting and re-skilling of future federal workforce The presidents budget even calls for a pool of $50 million to develop innovations in recruiting, retention and re-skilling for the future federal workforce.Where the federal jobs will beNow lets dig in and learn where the jobs will be in the fiscal year that begins this July 1.For Defense, the president is asking for a 14 percent increase over fiscal year 2017, to boost troop levels, add battleships and modernize equipment.For Homeland Security, the proposed hike is $3.6 billion, to continue hiring border agents, among other priorities.For Veterans Affairs, an $8.7 billion bump would help in the recruitment of medical personnel.For Commerce, a 6.1 percent increase would in part be allocated to hire staff and managers for the 2020 census.Cutting budgets for some agenciesOn the flip side, Trump wants to cu t the budgets of ansicht agencies and departments State, EPA, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Small Business Administration, Army Corps of Engineers, Labor, Agriculture and Transportation.But even as their headcounts are reduced, these entities likely will do some hiring competition for these vacancies will be intense.Modernizing federal employmentThe president also would like to change the terms of federal employment to better align with the needs of a 21st century government. For one, he proposes to implement performance-based pay for employees in mission-critical operations.And where jobs are cut, current employees can shift from legacy positions into emerging fields in which the government faces shortages, including data analysis, cybersecurity and other IT disciplines, the budget states.In departments where there are critical personnel shortages, the administration would implement expedited hiring, as it is already doing at Veterans Affairs.But whether youre seeking a federal career, or youre a federal employee looking to move up to a higher grade level, you should expect to meet tough competition and be prepared to excel in the federal application process.Tips for clearing the hurdles to your federal jobUnlike a private-sector resume, your federal resume must be very detailed, and probably three to five pages long. In the resume, your skills must be expressed using keywords that match the one year specialized experience described in the job posting on USAJOBS.gov. You must also include professional accomplishments that prove your specialized experience and KSAs knowledge, skills and abilities.Does the federal application process sound daunting?With the right information, you can succeed with a thorough and systematic approach.Check out our book Federal Resume GuidebookORGET HELP WITH YOUR FEDERAL RESUMEGET A FEDERAL RESUME QUOTEDespite Trumps promise throughout the campaign and the opening weeks of his administration to drasti cally reduce the federal workforce, and a memorandum calling on all agencies to develop plans to immediately shed employees, the president has made less progress to that end than many of his recent predecessors. Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Clinton all cut more civil servants during their their first year in office than Trump did. Federal agencies in both President George W. Bush and Obamas first years in office beefed up their staffs, adding nearly 125,000 jobs in Obamas first year.

This is the big problem with being friends with your coworkers

This is the big problem with being friends with your coworkersThis is the big problem with being friends with your coworkersABC Familys The Bold Type is a series about three super millennial best friends working at a magazine (inspired by Cosmopolitan) that will be starting its second season later this month. Though Jane, Kat, and Sutton all have different jobs and work in different departments (editorial, social media, and fashion) they are all still coworkers at a fairly small-staffed magazine.Now, these are the kind of friends that live together (Jane and Sutton do), begrudgingly workout together, participate in peaceful protests together and even as we saw in the Season 2 trailer, pick each other up at the airport. I didnt even think people knew they could still do that. However, there is a good chance they also have to work together given the nature of their jobs, especially Jane and Kat.Work friendships can be amazing and even beneficial to collaboration and productivity, howev er, they can also be quite awkward and even detrimental according to research highlighted byMelissa Dahlin The New York Times. Dahl is the editor of New Yorkmagazines Science of Us, and the author ofCringeworthy A Theory of Awkwardness.Work friendships are just trickierDahl explains that most of us would go above and beyond for our friends (and the airport is definitely beyond) in our personal lives but at work that is a lot trickier. You cant always go out on a limb for your coworker just because they are your friend and what if this friend isnt pulling their weight at work and leaving you to pick up the slack?Dr. Methot whopublisheda study in Personnel Psychologyon work friendships or multiplex relationships as she labels them told Dahl, Youre kind of pulled in these two different directions. Do I behave professionally, or do I try to continue to maintain or invest in this friendship?Another big problem with workplace friendships that causes major issues is that people stop commun icating what they want or expect because they believe this so-called close friend will just automatically know what they want.Methot advises people to remember they are coworkers first and friends and they should keep this in mind even when they are in social settings with this person.

2 Reasons Why Your Recruiters Need to be Active on LinkedIn - Spark Hire

2 Reasons Why Your Recruiters Need to be Active on LinkedIn - Spark HireRegardless of what industry or type of recruiting your staffing agency is involved in, every single one of your recruiters needs to be on LinkedIn. For two key reasons, being on LinkedIn can help your recruiters and your geschftliches miteinander to be more successful.1. Top talent is not on the boardsIf your main source for finding talent is a job board, then you are way behind the times and you will likely only come across marginal talent in your searches.As mentioned on The Undercover Recruiter, there are 187,000,000 unique monthly visitors to LinkedIn and 2 members join every second.If you have any experience with LinkedIn, you will understand that the more connections you have and the more groups you are a member of, the more access you will have to talented individuals who are not going to be posting resumes on job boards.Many of todays top talent are open to considering new and challenging opportunities. T he kicker is that they may not NEED to consider new opportunities.The difference in a person needing a job and being open to considering a job is that one is going to be clearly visible to you. The person who needs the job will apply to your job postings and have a resume posted to every job board available. However, the person who is open to considering new opportunities may not go to the extra effort of putting together an updated resume, completing all of your application questionnaires, or even posting their information on a job board. On the other hand, the person who is open to considering a new opportunity will more than likely have a profile on LinkedIn.You must ask yourself, is the person who NEEDS a job the best talent for your client? Perhaps not. Quite often, the best talent is not so easy to access, unless you have a well-developed LinkedIn account.2. Hiring managers are using LinkedIn more frequentlyNot only should your recruiters be hunting for top talent on LinkedIn, but they should also be visible to hiring managers.From past experience, I know that hiring managers are using LinkedIn frequently to stay in contact with business contacts and stay up-to-date on the latest industry news. As stated on The Undercover Recruiter, 2 out of 5 LinkedIn users log in at least once a day. This is huge Not only potential candidates, but hiring managers are logging in daily to LinkedInIf you want to show your clients that your recruiters mean business and that they go the extra mile in networking with the best talent in the industry, then you need your recruiters to be active on LinkedIn.If a hiring manager has an immediate need on his team and happens to see that your recruiters are connected with some of the best talent in their industry, you just might get that hiring managers business, cold calls eliminated and new business easily walking through your doorWhat are some other benefits of your recruiters being active on LinkedIn?
