We may be inclined to answer yes, given all the bad stuff around us that’s supposed to get worse. Managing Leadership has an interesting post on taking individual responsibility, even in these turbulent times. Food for thought.

Weeks ago, we read about how candidates considered for top jobs in the Obama administration would be subjected to historic vetting. Though some complained about intrusiveness, this was a sign that Washington was indeed going to change. Well, not so much.

Health care reform is a favorite subject of Barack Obama. It’s still said that this reform is high on his list of things to accomplish early in his administration. The state of the economy makes reform more difficult, but America’s appetite for health care reform seems to be at an all time high.

The ADA Amendments Act is now effective. In a sense, we’re starting all over when it comes to disability discrimination. It’s likely to take a few years of court decisions to know for sure what the ADAAA has done to the Americans with Disabilities Act. In the meantime, review my earlier post on the subject and pay careful attention to new court cases.

My weekly Corporate BS (usually posted on Saturday) is taking a rest. That’s not to say I won’t use some Corporate BS in future posts. I may even call out a word or phrase of Corporate BS from time to time.

It just may be appropriate to start the new year with a warning of sorts from the late, great Johnny Cash. His song “Oney” tells of what can happen when a long-time, hard-working employee retires and uses his retirement party to give his nitpicking, perhaps abusive supervisor something to remember him by.
