As the saying goes, if something is working why stop doing it? The topic of CLMs, aka Career Limiting Moves, has generated over 10 times my normal mail volume, all from people telling me stories about CLMs they’ve seen or committed. We’ve all seen CLMs,  a lucky few of us have even made and survived CLMs, but apparently the unifying thread is we all love to talk about CLMs. 

So without further delay as a blatant sop to my growing readership, here are more CLMs – scrubbed of all identifying details to protect the culpable. 

The Salary Data Broadcast CLM - whereby someone distributes detailed salary and bonus information to a wide circle of people. There are a lot of good reasons in the western corporate world for why company salary data is treated like the secret formula for Coke. Now this isn’t true everywhere – in China for example salary data is considered a perfectly fine topic for conversation from people you’ve just met. I can speak from personal experience on this.
