After over 15 years in HR, I stepped away from my career. The draining nature of being an employee relations manager for 300+ employees had taken its toll on me, and with a newborn on the way, it was the perfect time to shift gears. Working in employee relations gave me a front-row seat to a range of personal issues, emotional situations, and breakdowns that could rival any toddler tantrum. While I didn't know it then, it was the perfect preparation for parenthood.
I've heard the most outrageous stories from employees. No matter how outlandish the tale was, my job was to listen fully to their side of the story. My son can concoct some wild excuses. Rather than cutting him off when he is not telling the truth, I hear him out. He often realizes mid-way through that what he is saying does not add up, sighs, and the truth emerges.
