Thanks so much for doing that. It was great to have it all in one place.

I had my gallbladder removed about 5 years ago. The surgery was so much better than the pain I was feeling with the gallstones. I was down for about a week then basically felt like myself after that. I remember feeling really tired for about 3 da…

It's really rough the first few days, then it gets better. To cure my cravings for sweets I would eat a spoon full of peanut butter. I wasn't too addicted to pasta, rice or bread. The sweets were the bad thing for me. Sugar free jello with whipp…

My husband and I had the same problem only we had the boys name, but no girls name. He is a teacher and every name I liked he of course had had that child in class and didn't like her or she was trouble. So we went to the hospital with no girls na…

The Maine coast does it for me. We have gone to the same spot for 15 years, usually make it there twice during the summer. I can be sooooo stressed, but as soon as I get out of the car and smell the ocean and hear the waves - it's instant relaxati…

We had an employee who we didn't want sitting home either. He had a whole list of restrictions, couldn't lift, couldn't stand, etc, etc. So we got him a chair put him in the first aisle of our warehouse, gave him a bucket and cloth and had him cle…

Our power was out for about 4 hours here. We are about 45 minutes south of Albany. We were in a minor state of panic with our food. About 2/3 of our inventory is either cold or frozen. We have a generator, but it only runs a portion of the compr…

Sorry I was off on Friday and missed this one. Sometimes in the world of HR when I just can't take another complaint or another crisis and I think OK this is it I'm going off the deep end. I just click on Employer's Forum, come to this section and…

My boss and I were on very high alert last summer when we were going through the union decertification. Our offices are in the warehouse completely surrounded by windows. Our backs used to be to the windows. One day my boss came out and told me t…

We are a Food Distributor and we have lots of Sales Reps. 50% of our sales force were Chefs with not one day of training as a Sales person when we hire them. Chefs know food and they know how to speak to other chefs to get them to buy food from us…

I'm a Cancer, July 1st. Never liked the name of my sign. I do love the water and I'm a home body. That's about all I know about my sign. I share my birthday with Princess Diana - she was born the same year as well.

I want you all to feel sorry for me because I work at a Food Distributor. There is $5 million worth of food outside of my office door. In the 12 years I have worked here I have gained 30 pounds. I know, use restraint. Well, it's hard when vendor…

Thanks for the laugh on Monday morning. Yes, I am getting my daily fix right now. These were especially funny for us because we are right in the middle of doing evaluations. Thanks!

It's confirmed, I'm addicted. I went to check the weather on the internet today and without even thinking I went to the employers forum. I was reading the new topics when I suddenly woke up and realized I met to check the weather. It's a good thi…

I agree. I feel lost if I can't get my forum fix for the day. It has been educational for me since I was never formally trained in HR. Even if the situation has never come up for me I know it will someday. I also can usually get my daily chuckle…

Pet Peeves: 1. Employees who complain about: People sitting on the picnic table instead of the bench - can you write a memo asking people not to do that. The coffee pot has been left on the burner - can you write a memo asking people to turn off t…

My boss believes family first, job second. So he is very understanding when it comes to anything having to do with my family. We are a two person HR Department so we really have to rely on each other - we are a team. He always backs me up with ot…

We use a Kronos timeclock which is directly linked with my PC. The employees use swipe cards. I can go in and update and look at all swipes. For salaried employees it automatically gives them 40 hours each week and then if something needs to be c…

Good questions Don. This commission structure was created in 1990 by the Sales Manager at that time. This is what the original documentation outlined concerning the bad debt reserve. Account balances in excess of 2 periods (3 times their terms or…

Gillian3 - what if the test I use is very generic and it's main purpose is just to make sure that the applicant can read, write and do simple arithmatic? Do I still have to taylor it to each specific position?

Let me defend myself here. Don D and Smace I understand where you are coming from. But, I really felt strongly about keeping the job posting program consistent. I was just informed yesterday that this guy was hired. The owners did this one. Nor…

I just wanted to let all of you know that we are going to post the position. Those of you who stated that they probably didn't want the posting up because they already had someone in mind are right. He accepted the position yesterday. No announce…

We just went through a de-certification last September. My boss is extremely well versed on the subject. Give me your e-mail address and I can hook the two of you up.

I have an update. It just keeps getting better. The ee came in to speak to me today. She's in bad shape. Came in with a friend and said this friend would drive her anywhere she needed to go. Even to the farthest point in her territory, which is …

We publish anniversary dates in our monthly newsletter for each employee who started that month. Then at our annual employee apprecation dinner we award pins to employees who have hit 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. The pins have different gemstones in th…
