So, I'm getting ready to register for any one of about 15 HR Conferences in the next 3 months, and I've yet to find an agenda where they don't have someone from Zappos speaking about how great it is to work at Zappos.  Now, I don't want to be a hater, but can't someone get back to the Poop Deck and do some work around there?  In case any of the Deckhands forgot to read anything in HR literature over the past 25 years or so, I'm pretty sure HR got its reputation of not adding value, because it was probably attending conferences talking about how it was adding value.  So, get the Skipper, Ginger and MaryAnn - get back to work.

We get it already - you pay people to leave, you empower people to stay, and all the while you come up with cute little names to call yourself - so when you do go to conferences, people feel crappy about their own titles and companies.  You know what would be nice, how about Zappos just holds their own HR Conference.  They could invite everyone out to Las Vegas, charge people to learn the "Zappos" way, do the whole drinks, dinks and wien
