My Beliefs and Principles

A number of people are trying to brand me as transphobic, so I thought I would list out a number of my personal beliefs so folks coming across this in the future can judge for themselves.

I believe love is love, and consenting adults should be able to have whatever form of relationship they want or don't want. I believe governments should recognize all these unions with the same rights.

I believe people should be able to change their name, gender identity, and preferred pronouns whenever they want and however many times they want. I personally endeavor to follow all these preferences that are known to me.

I support adults making any modifications to their body they like.

I support people choosing to share or keep private the above.

This is not meant to be comprehensive, and in researching this post to make sure I was using the right language to express my beliefs I read through the Yogyakarta Principles and agree with everything in that document, which is much more comprehensive.

A few other points I'll include for context and history:

Both Automattic and WordPress.org, founded or co-founded by me in 2005 and 2003 respectively, have consistently supported LGBT+ organizations, contributors, and employees.

Automattic's open time off benefit includes full pay for medical time off has supported a number of people transitioning. We've invested considerable development time in updating or working around legacy HR systems to recognize the principles above, and will continue to as best practices evolve or we find mistakes.

When we remodeled Automattic's NYC office before moving in we made the bathrooms gender neutral. Same for a commercial warehouse I've recently remodeled.

I've personally donated to LGBT+ organizations as far back as 2016, and more recently have donated mid five figures to Human Rights organizations.

I have dedicated my life since the age of 19 to open source software, which I believe to be radically inclusive, and democratizing publishing, commerce, and messaging. My hope is this work contributes, even if in a small domain-specific way, to a more fair and just society.

Thinking about some headcanons of the differences between the Agency and Zoraxis

Sticking a linebreak in here because I have no impulse control and wrote like, 700 words

The Agency:

In my eyes, they are severely underfunded. Their facilities are practically ancient. You know how your school always has that one part that hasn't been refurbished in decades? Yeah, that's pretty much their entire base of operations, no matter which location you look at.

I'd like to imagine the sense of community is either really strong or really strained. If you're working in, say, HR, I feel like you'd have a really nice bond with your coworkers. However, on the other hand, there's the EOD. I feel that they, would have a tense atmosphere. I mean, if your coworkers were dying every other day, I wouldn't really want to get attached. Even still, there are always a few EOD agents that have grown close to each other and they never deal well with the loss of their coworkers.

The Agency, however, has a very good training programme for their prospective field agents. I envision it as something like past (surviving) field agents or handlers teaching the new recruits all their tips and tricks. (and how to disarm a bomb effectively)

Everyone has absolutely horrible pay. Sure, you might be in the EOD, risking your life on a daily basis, but you'd only just be able to afford a small apartment. The higher-ups consider it almost pointless: they'd just die anyway so why waste all that precious money?

I feel that all Handlers who are ex-field agents would be best friends. They'd all joke about their numerous near-death experiences on the daily. Sort of like the fond retellings we hear Phoenix's Handler talk about over the course of the games. I think they have a shared break room of sorts near their offices.

Zoraxis:

I'd think that they have top-notch facilities- state-of-the-art shit. (they are a very successful business, after all) I'm talking fancy architecture and everything. I feel like they'd be the kind of place where they have those Dyson hand dryers and very nice-smelling soap.

Unlike the Agency, I think the Zoraxis employees/operatives would be relatively nice to each other. Their relationships wouldn't be based on their departments cause I feel like being assigned to a life-threatening mission only happens once (they almost always due to lack of experience)

However, Zoraxis has terrible training programmes. They want to save money so they just stick their new recruits into a single building and hire the cheapest self-defence teachers they can put onto a salary.

Zoraxis employees have a pretty good paycheck, all things considered. They pay a decent amount over minimum wage so most people are able to live somewhat comfortably. I feel like one of the selling points of getting a job is their ability to provide accommodation if needed. They'd have enough money to buy a few apartment blocks for their new hires.

Similarities:

Okay, be so real, they'd both suck at doing background checks. The Agency because they can't really be picky for their field agents and Zoraxis because they don't give a shit. You could be a murderer and they'd just let you walk in with no trouble. Hell, you could probably fake your documents and no one would bat an eye.

The director and Zor rarely show their faces around the building. I feel like all the employees would spread the most out-there rumours about them.

They both have some employee of the month system. Zoraxis gives them out when they remember they have it. The lucky employee gets a little certificate and a small bonus on their next paycheck. At the Agency, Phoenix just has, like, so many. It's like, twenty picture frames in a row and yes, there is absolutely no variation in selected images, just the Agency-mandated ID photo everyone takes on their first day. They get nothing for it, just the gift of staring at their mug every time they are forced to wait for their Handler outside his office.

You know what I hate about capitalism more than anything? That corporations can just steal. Steal from you, steal from me, steal from everyone and get away with it.

Recently I had an interaction with a District Manager that left me going, "Well, fuck this job, I'm finding a new one." And I did, but not before also being physically assaulted by a coworker. Fun. I resigned immediately, wrote up a fancy letter detailing the assault, the harassment, and the literal legality of paying me my due compensation. What happened?

Well, HR tried to contact me to get more information, to which I declined. I no longer worked for the company and so their investigation into any of this was really none of my damn business at that point. They refused to talk about my compensation at all to the point of saying, "At that time, we’ll proceed with next steps of accepting your resignation." We were at a standstill. I refused to comply with their investigation, and they refused to talk about my final pay.

TO WIT, we, and most other Americans, live in an at will state, meaning that employment can be terminated for any reason at any time barring contract or protected status. The company might have some internal policy regarding resignation notices, but you are under no obligation to respect them. The moment you resign a clock begins ticking. Depending on what state you live in, the company in question has a set amount of time to pay you your fair compensation. There's a list here, although it's always best to check your state's labor department website for more accurate information.

In my state they had until the next payday to pay me. Today is that day. And they didn't. I even contacted them yesterday when I saw the balance pre-deposited into my bank account was incorrect. I literally pointed out the exact state statute detailing what wages consist of, how long they had to pay me, and that they had by the end of today to pay the correct amount or they were in violation of the law. And they didn't even bother responding, or paying me. Almost $400 of vacation and PTO I'm owed. They just stole it.

So, I had to spend two hours today gathering up all of this information, putting it into a easy to read summation of events, and send that off to the labor department to investigate. And what sort of punishment will the company receive once the labor department decides they were in the wrong... Nothing. Nothing. Corporations can just get away with this shit. This is why wage theft is the most common and well practiced type of theft out there.

It took me nearly two hours of gathering all the documentation up to support my claim. It's going to take I don't know how many more hours for the labor department to investigate. All for what amounts to pocket change for a multi-billion dollar international company known as Sherwin Williams.

These corporation cost America money. Period. They steal money from their workers and then force tax payers to subsidize the labor departments to fight those wages out of these greedy corporations' hands. Corporations are parasites that need to be heavily controlled. I mean, what else would you call something that literally exists off the back of someone else if not a parasite?

The Employer’s Playbook: Correcting Employee Misclassification

Navigating the labyrinth of labor laws, tax responsibilities, and HR best practices can sometimes feel like a full-contact sport for business owners. One of the significant challenges in this game is correctly classifying your personnel as either employees or independent contractors. Misclassification can result in dire consequences, including hefty fines and back taxes. In this detailed guide, we’ll break down why correct classification is critical, how to spot misclassification, and what to do if you find you’ve been playing on the wrong team.

What Is Employee and Independent Contractor Classification?

Before we draw battle lines, it’s essential to understand the various types of personnel at your disposal. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) each have their own criteria for what constitutes an employee versus an independent contractor. Employees typically work under the direction and control of an employer, whereas contractors maintain their independence, controlling when, where, and how the work is done. The distinction is vital because it affects how you pay taxes, allocate benefits, and protect your business from legal disputes.

Employers often prefer to engage workers as independent contractors because it:

Reduces administrative overhead

Eliminates the need to provide employee benefits

Allows for more flexible staffing arrangements

However, misclassification can open a Pandora’s box of unforeseen liabilities.

5 Indicators of Employee vs. Contractor Misclassification

The lines between employees and independent contractors can seem blurry, but certain indicators can clearly point one way or the other. Here are five indicators to watch for:

The Business's Degree of Control

The more control a business exercises over the work being done – including the manner and means of the work – the more likely the worker should be classified as an employee.

Financial Control

When the business controls significant aspects of a worker’s financial affairs, such as setting the pay rate or providing tools and materials, it’s a strong indication of an employer-employee relationship.

Investment in Facilities

If the worker has a significant investment in things like office space or equipment, they're more likely to be a contractor.

Opportunity for Profit or Loss

Contractors typically have the potential to make a profit or suffer a financial loss, while employees are often insulated from business fluctuations.

Permanency of the Relationship

An ongoing, indefinite working relationship suggests an employer-employee relationship. Contracts that specify a defined project or time frame lean more toward independent contractor status.

By assessinging these factors, you can catch early signs of misclassification and protect your business from unnecessary risk.

How to Correct Employee Misclassification

Discovering that you’ve misclassified workers can be a daunting reality, yet there is a path to rectification. Here are the vital steps to correct the course:

Identify the Misclassified Workers

The first step to fixing a problem is recognizing its existence. Audit your workforce to determine the scope of the misclassification.

Re-Evaluate Workforce Hiring Practices

Once the misclassified workers are identified, reassess how and why they were classified as independent contractors. Ensure your classification practices adhere to legal guidelines moving forward.

Adjust for Prior Compensation and Tax Withholding Errors

Correct any erroneous payroll tax filings and ensure all relevant taxes are appropriately withheld and paid.

Communicate Changes Transparently

Notify affected workers of the status change and what it means for their compensation and benefits.

Implement Corrective Policies

Establish clear policies and procedures for future worker classification, including documentation of the basis for classification.

By following these steps, you’ll mitigate the immediate damage and establish a framework for avoiding future misclassification issues.

5 Factors to Calculate Employee Misclassification Costs

Once you’ve acknowledged misclassification, it’s time to tally the costs. Knowing what you’re up against can help you make informed decisions about how to proceed.

Back Pay and Overtime

Misclassified employees may be owed back wages and overtime pay if they were treated as contractors when they should have been deemed employees.

Unemployment and Workers Compensation

Your business may be responsible for past and future payments associated with unemployment and workers compensation benefits.

Tax Adjustments

The IRS can penalize you for failing to withhold and match taxes appropriately for employees. You’ll need to amend past returns and address any unpaid tax liabilities.

Fines and Fees

In addition to the back taxes, the IRS or DOL may levy fines for misclassifications. These penalties can be substantial and vary depending on the number of employees involved and the severity of the violation.

Legal Costs

If an employee brings a lawsuit against your business due to misclassification, you’ll also need to factor in legal fees, settlement costs, and potential damage awards.

By factoring in these costs, you’ll be better equipped to map out how to best address the misclassification with the least amount of impact.

Navigating the complexities of employee classification is not for the faint of heart. However, staying informed about the indicators of misclassification and understanding how to rectify errors can save you immeasurable headaches down the line. Compliance isn’t always simple, but it is non-negotiable. Your workforce — and your bottom line — will thank you for these proactive measures.

In the fast-paced world of business, agility and foresight are your strongest allies. Knowing how to respond to misclassification can transform a potential pitfall into a learning opportunity. By understanding the rules and diligently auditing your practices, you can ensure that your team — both on the field and off — is set up for success.

Whumptober Day 7: Silent Panic Attack

{Author's note: today's entry is a direct prequel to the amazing @zmediaoutlet fic "cheyenne," where Victor Henriksen finally tracks down a very different Sam and Dean Winchester. If you like this, or even if you don't, check it out—some of the bleakest, most beautiful writing I've encountered in fandom.}

***

He picks up his Louis Vuitton briefcase on his way out from his office.  It’s heavy, filled with documents for the next few workshops and speaking engagements, corporate mission statements and HR disclosures and God knows what else waiting for him to sign, validate, acknowledge.  It’s a demanding job, running a consulting firm; clients constantly pushing you around, employees constantly needing things.  Almost as bad as a family.

…almost.

“Mr. Winchester.”  His assistant trots up to meet him in the tiny mincing steps her Michael Kors pencil skirt allows, Gucci heels clicking on the marble floor of the hallway.  He takes her in at a glance:  hair tidily coiffed and streaked with fashionably-blued grey.  Dove-grey Armani blazer carefully arranged.  Cream-colored silk shirt clearly a tier down—Banana Republic, maybe—but he’s not feeling at his best this evening so he’ll let it pass.  “I have your itinerary for the upcoming week,” she says, swiping at the iPad in her hand.  “Cerberus Group has postponed, but I worked with scheduling at Richard Roman Enterprises to fill the gap.  And JPMorgan wants to know if there’s any flexibility in the attendance requirements for their booking next month—it’s the holidays, of course, several of their board members have personal and family leave planned—”

He turns his head to look at her.  Not frostily, not mildly, not glaring, not soft.  It’s a look utterly devoid of any emotion at all.  He knows, because he practices it in the mirror every morning; it’s remarkably versatile.  Even his assistant, whose hair was a warm rich brown when she began working for him, stops speaking when he turns it on her.

“They know the terms,” he says, after a moment.  Quiet; his voice is always quiet.  He’s never needed to raise it.  “If they wish to maintain the prestigious opportunity afforded by a Pathway To Success workshop the entire board must be present.  No exceptions.”

The assistant swallows, then ducks her head in acknowledgement.  He really should say something about that shirt.  Tomorrow, maybe.  “I’ll pass along the message, sir,” she says, carefully polite.  

He gives her a measured nod.  “Was there anything else?”

“Only another message from Agent Henricksen.  He’s still trying to get in touch with you about your brother.”  He can feel the muscle twitch at the corner of his eye; it must be visible, because she continues all in a rush.  “I looked him up, sir, thoroughly, just as you asked.  Academy transcripts, employment records, even his gun safety ratings.  He’s the real thing, definitely.”  Sam still doesn’t answer; she bites her lip.  “I.  Didn’t know you had a brother.”

“We don’t speak.”  He can feel his fingers tightening around the grip of his briefcase, wonders if the knuckles have turned visibly white.  “Were there any further details in the message?”

“No, sir.”  The barest hesitation, then, “Not in the message.”

He flicks an eyebrow up, a silent command.

She shifts her weight to one foot, holds the iPad against her chest.  “It’s…while I was looking into the agent, sir.  It’s not in any of the official press channels.  Not yet.  But there’s gossip that he’s finally run down that killer.”  She won’t meet his eyes.  “The one on the posters.  The one…with the same last name.”

So.  His secret has finally come to light, and his brother is—arrested, or dead.  He can feel his heart pounding, the adrenaline dumping into his bloodstream.  Run, his body says.  Leave.  Go.  Start somewhere else.  Somewhere they don’t know you.  You’ve done it before, you can always rebuild.  He closes his eyes, takes a short, sharp breath in.  Lets it out.  Ignores the voice beneath his body’s voice, the one that lives deep in his hindbrain, the one that sounds like a desperate, trapped child—Dean’s in trouble!  Go find him!  Help him, you’re all he’s got—

“Sir?  Is everything all right?”

The assistant’s voice draws him back to the present.  He ignores the thumping of his heart, the creak in his knuckles, the tension in his shoulders.  This changes nothing.

Well.  Almost nothing.

“Cancel my appointments this weekend.  I’ll be taking leave to deal with a personal matter.”

“Of course, sir.”  She taps a few times on the tablet, swipes between a couple of screens, doesn’t comment on the novelty of the request.  “And if the press calls?”

The thought of press attention is enough to set his heart pounding again, but he covers it with a tight-lipped smile.  “Refer them to the local FBI office.”  He prises his fingers from their grip, re-hefts the briefcase.  “And inform the flight crew that the plane needs to be ready.  I’ll be traveling.”  He doesn’t wait for the assistant’s acknowledgement, only continues his stride towards the door as if it had never been broken. 

It’s only when he reaches the door that he realizes he’s been humming under his breath, something tuneless and familiar.  He stops immediately, but the long-forgotten lyrics flash into his brain regardless, like unwelcome karaoke:

For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way…

Do You Know the 4 Critical Cs of Successful Onboarding? 

Is your onboarding process apt enough for your new employees? Does it give everything that they need? Do the new people in your workplace family feel empowered, safe, and accepted, and do they belong entirely to your organization?

Are you still trying to figure it out? Then you must be missing something critical, thinking, what is that? Well, we are talking about the 4 Cs of effective onboarding that can make any direct hire process flawless. This blog will discuss them in detail to make your onboarding process smoother. Following this incredible 4Cs can be one of your best onboarding practices. Staying empowered about the 4 Cs of successful onboarding is significant for providing an encouraging work environment to your new people. It is crucial that no onboarding software can do this; this has to be a core element of your onboard processing protocol.

What is the Importance of Out-of-the-Box Onboarding?

Onboarding has been emerging as a trending topic for the last few years. It is especially prevalent in this transformed work environment that we are experiencing now after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Creating a welcoming ambience for your new people has become a matter of utmost importance. Whether hiring via your own TAs or working with a direct hire agency to meet your talent needs, a sensible onboarding process is a mandate now. But many companies still don’t have an organized onboarding process, and they need to buck up soon!

Some of the enormous benefits of intelligent onboarding are:

Boosted Productivity

Extraordinary Organizational Culture

Reduced Employee Turnover Rate

What are the 4 Important Cs of Employee Onboarding?

Can we agree on the significance of the best employee onboarding process? Amazing! Now let’s explore the four Cs of new employee onboarding that has to be in your employee onboarding checklist!

You must leverage these techniques while performing onboarding for new employees in your organization. This will help take your company’s new hire onboarding to the next level!

Let’s go ahead 

The First C – Compliance

If we speak about the USA staffing onboarding process, compliance is a colossal important thing. Companies are expected to cover all compliances and verify the compliances from the candidates’ ends too. After all, it’s the law, so it must be primarily taken care of.

Regarding the USA jobs onboarding, compliance measures ideally include the onboarding document. They have to be transparently dictated to the candidates. These documents mainly include company policies, safety regulations, confidentiality requirements, etc. Also, you must ensure that candidates meet all compliance requirements from their end during the onboarding process.

The Second C – Clarification

Unfortunately, the HR onboarding process for many companies starts breaking off at this step. However, it is very crucial though. As an onboarding specialist, you should ensure that all your new hires understand their role in the company and what’s expected of them. Everyone likes a transparent environment. Right?

Whether you organize a digital or in-house onboarding process, you should aim to answer specific critical questions. They must range from high-level queries like the objective of the company, about their reporting managers, etc., to basic details like where is the parking area. All these together will give a lot of clarification to your new employees.

The Third C – Culture

Company Culture often remains underrated. Organizations take it for granted or mistake it for various benefits like catered meals or unrestricted time-off policies. However, focusing on the authentic culture from the onboarding stage is ideal.

It goes much more profound and encompasses a company’s values, mission, vision for the future, and the way of interaction of team members. So, you should prioritize company culture from the beginning of the onboarding stage. And further, keep steeping new hires in it as time passes by.

Company Culture should be a priority starting from the original employment ads and initial interviews stage to the first few months of new employees at your company and so on.

The Fourth C – Connection

You must establish connections among your employees from the onboarding stage to succeed in your business. Your staff is your strength and not some random people. They are a team. At least they should be one. Hence, you should foster a connection between your employees and new hires by introducing them to the former.

A band of people which comprises both your old and new employees who meet on weekends to perform community service or so should be your aim! Allow them more and more time to connect better. This will help your new employees feel embraced.

Ready to Put the Four Cs into Action?

As we end this blog, hopefully, you will have an idea about the importance of onboarding best practices. Right? Precisely, the excellent Four Cs Approach to effective onboa    rding. Isn’t it amazing? This insight will be helpful for your company.

So, aim to implement an onboarding strategy in your organization that ingrains compliance, clarification, culture, and connection within all your new hires. Make sure you are committing to it. And that’s it! Your company will surely touch new heights.

All the Best!

Harnessing the Power of VMS Platforms for Superior Talent Acquisition 

What is a VMS Platform? 

A Vendor Management System (VMS) platform is a software application that facilitates the procurement and management of external workforce resources, such as temporary, contract, and freelance employees. These platforms are designed to streamline the hiring process, improve compliance, and optimize the management of vendor relationships. By leveraging a VMS system, organizations can gain greater visibility into their workforce, reduce administrative overhead, and enhance overall efficiency. 

The Evolution of Talent Acquisition Software 

Talent acquisition software encompasses a broad range of tools and technologies aimed at improving the recruitment process. Historically, talent acquisition involved manual processes that were time-consuming and prone to errors. With the advent of technology, talent acquisition software has evolved to include sophisticated systems that automate many aspects of recruiting, from job posting and candidate tracking to onboarding and performance evaluation. 

The integration of VMS platforms into talent acquisition software represents a significant leap forward. By combining the capabilities of a VMS system with other recruitment tools, businesses can create a more cohesive and efficient hiring ecosystem. 

Benefits of Integrating VMS Platforms into Talent Acquisition 

1. Enhanced Efficiency and Speed 

One of the primary advantages of a VMS platform is its ability to streamline the hiring process. Traditional methods of managing contingent workers often involve a labyrinth of paperwork and communication between multiple parties. A VMS system automates many of these tasks, such as job requisition, candidate submission, and invoicing, significantly speeding up the process. This efficiency allows organizations to fill positions more rapidly and reduce time-to-hire, which is crucial in today’s fast-paced business environment. 

2. Improved Visibility and Reporting 

A VMS platform provides valuable insights into your contingent workforce. Through detailed reporting and analytics, businesses can track key metrics such as spend, worker performance, and compliance. This visibility helps organizations make data-driven decisions, identify trends, and optimize their talent acquisition strategies. For example, you can analyze which vendors provide the highest quality candidates or which recruitment channels yield the best results. 

3. Cost Savings 

Managing a contingent workforce can be costly, particularly if processes are inefficient or poorly managed. A VMS system helps control and reduce costs by providing better visibility into spending and allowing for more strategic vendor management. By consolidating your workforce management through a VMS platform, you can negotiate better rates with suppliers and eliminate redundant expenses. 

4. Enhanced Compliance and Risk Management 

Compliance with labor laws and regulations is a significant concern for businesses that manage a contingent workforce. A VMS platform helps mitigate compliance risks by automating processes related to worker classification, tax documentation, and other regulatory requirements. This not only helps avoid legal issues but also ensures that your organization adheres to industry standards and best practices. 

5. Seamless Integration with Existing Systems 

Modern VMS platforms are designed to integrate seamlessly with other talent acquisition software and HR systems. This interoperability ensures that all aspects of your recruitment and workforce management processes are interconnected, providing a unified view of your hiring activities. Integration with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) further enhances the efficiency of your talent acquisition strategy. 

Best Practices for Implementing a VMS System 

1. Define Clear Objectives 

Before implementing a VMS platform, it’s essential to define your objectives and goals. Determine what you want to achieve with the system, such as reducing time-to-hire, improving compliance, or enhancing vendor relationships. Clear objectives will guide the selection process and ensure that the VMS platform aligns with your business needs. 

2. Choose the Right VMS Provider 

Selecting the right VMS provider is crucial for the success of your implementation. Evaluate different vendors based on their features, ease of use, customer support, and integration capabilities. Look for a provider that offers flexibility and scalability to accommodate your organization’s evolving needs. 

3. Train Your Team 

Proper training is essential for maximizing the benefits of a VMS system. Ensure that your HR and procurement teams are well-versed in using the platform and understand its features and functionalities. Effective training will help ensure a smooth transition and enable your team to leverage the system to its full potential. 

4. Monitor and Evaluate Performance 

Once your VMS system is in place, continuously monitor its performance and evaluate its impact on your talent acquisition processes. Use the reporting and analytics capabilities of the platform to assess its effectiveness and make data-driven adjustments as needed. Regular evaluation helps identify areas for improvement and ensures that the system remains aligned with your business goals. 

Conclusion 

Incorporating a VMS platform into your talent acquisition software can transform how your organization manages its contingent workforce. By enhancing efficiency, improving visibility, and reducing costs, a VMS system provides a strategic advantage in today’s competitive job market. As businesses continue to adapt to changing workforce dynamics, leveraging the power of VMS platforms will be crucial for achieving superior talent acquisition outcomes. Embrace this innovative technology, and watch as your hiring processes become more streamlined, effective, and aligned with your organizational goals.
