We recently had an interesting question posted on Human Resources IQ about what to do about an employee who spends two hours a day in the bathroom.

It's Oscar season, folks!
Yup, this Sunday, millions will turn to the self-congratulatory award ceremony to watch for a fashion faux pas, way-too-long speeches thanking some almighty higher power, and awkward, awkward on-stage banter.

So, let's check the to-do list: deadlines, meetings, projects, conference calls.
