Meet Cindy Elizabeth

I continue to be surprised by the things people do in the workplace. I am sure I will continue to be surprised throughout my career. I sometimes spend time reflecting on the week and the employee issues that were solved and quite frankly, sometimes it is mind blowing the things that go on out in the field and away from “corporate.”

I often am curious and find myself wondering why people choose to do the things they do. I am unsure if it is because they simply do not care and are in all honesty that stupid or they think they won’t get caught (manager reports to HR, customer complains, etc.)

More days than not, I find myself saying, “What were they thinking?” From the hours of 7am-4pm, I am ripping my hair out trying to work through issues, but from 4-10pm, I find myself laughing and saying, “They did WHAT?”

Obviously, sharing details would probably go against many laws so my favorite HR stories are generally saved for happy hour or lunch conversations. Do you ever find yourself scratching your head and saying, “What were they thinking?” and then laughing about it later like I do? I’m pretty sure it is the only way I can keep my sanity day in and day out.
