If I am ever elected president, (a phrase my husband loves to use!) my first act of power will be to implement these ideas:
- All states will become no-fault employment states and implement 120-day probationary periods for all new hires, all levels. No more fancy pants recruiting systems. No more of the 4, 5 and 6 rounds of interviewing. Good old fashioned resume review, maybe a phone screen and the hiring Leader gets to interview and make the decision. First twenty five applicants then the job posting is deactived. No more consensus of candidate. A leader needs to have a backbone and take credit for good and bad hiring decisions.
- With all the money that no longer has to go to applicant tracking systems, companies can reward employees who are performing well.
- No video conference interviews - having a leader or candidates face frozen in an awkward position on video doesn't help anyone.
- If companies have executive approach to fill jobs, they have 30 days to do so or they lose the headcount. If they have other priorities during that time they can either designate a hiring decision proxy or quit their job as they seem fairly stupid to me if hiring talented people isn't a top priority.
- No one can make over 5 million per year. It's just wrong. Even if you win the lottery. Even if you are a celebrity.
- No carpet or wallpaper allowed in offices that is over 5 years old - it just gets to smelling and looking funky - yuck!
- No pizza for work lunches - just makes the workers unhealthy and screams, "we got the cheapest meal we could today as we try to extract work from you!!!!"
- Unemployment insurance goes away. No one should be unemployed for more than 30 days with my new system. Which means the mean ladies at the unemployment office have to look for work themselves - Karma baby!
- PowerPoints will be banned. People will simply have to draw their ideas or talk with other people. Cartoons or short documentaries are allowed.
- No meetings for more than 1 hour. And don't even try to cheat the system - I'm president for heaven's sake, no sneaking past me - you can't do back-to-back 1 hour meetings on the same topic.
- Medical, childcare and dental coverage will be provided by the U.S. government with all the money they will save with no unemployment and no welfare for non-working people. Insurance companies, (one of which turned me down 6 months ago for a job) will no longer be needed - more money that can go elsewhere.
