My blog hrlori.com is getting quite a bit of traffic in the California HR niche (though lately I've been posting national stories). It depends on where and how you're looking.

You know that old adage: "If you want something done get a woman to do it" and please let's not forget "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did - only backwards and on high heels." Are men more involved in the management thing and have more time to do this stuff? Are we women getting what we ask for? Are we asking for the right things? I read once that women needed to learn to say "thank you" more often and "I'm sorry" far less. I think it's good advice. What does this say about our workforce and the sharing of duties?
