  • Your point is also taken and I apologize for making you feel I made an inaccurate assumption that you were personally taking Christ out of Christmas. Thanks for the feedback, but I will stick with "Christmas", even if it takes a little longer to sp…
  • Debbie, I will probably get some flack from other Forumites for this, but I have to get my 2 cents worth in. C'mas is not the correct spelling for Christmas. Why do we continually want to take Christ out of the spelling of Christmas, when after …

  • McMel, Thanks from a Vet! Annie says it all! Al
  • That one stumped me! See if any of you can figure this one out: Three salesman (no really) stop at hotel and the Desk Clerk tells them he has one room left and it will be $30.00, so they all chip in $10 a piece and go to their room. The Desk Clerk…

  • KCHR I ran into this situation recently with a $40 an hour Engineer and our state law (TN) requires employers to pay for time spent on Jury Duty minus any fees (employer's discretion) they are paid. Fortunately I was able to get them excused due t…

  • Marc, Thanks for the info. The termination was done by phone after the client company company informed us that they were going to hire the individual and gave us a hire date. Individual also called and gave us a start date with client company. W…
  • Don, Thanks. The info was very helpful.
  • I usually do not weigh in on these discussions, but I see several problems with this scenario. The first one is that you have another employee with the same issues. What is being done to alleviate that problem? Are they as bad as the other one? Y…

  • My guess is that Daddy knows more about this woman than what he is willing to tell. As the old saying goes "the apple (s) doesn't fall far from the tree." You have two choices. Find better employment with a reputable company (because I would be…

  • Legally, you can stop this minor from taking smoke breaks by banning smoking in the workplace and solve that problem. This has worked for major manufacturing companies (2500+ employees) in our area that now have a "No smoking on company premises" po…

  • Nae Nae55 Hey, I have been out of the loop since my post and want to thank you for the lesson on the Greek Language. As I said, "I'm still learning," I did a little research and found out that you are correct. I don't think it is disrespectful t…
  • Tere Zesati It amazes me that you know how to spell Halloween, but not Christmas. I can't find in the Bible where Christ abbreviated his name with an "X", but then again, I'm still learning.
  • I agree that there are a lot of "what ifs" in this letter, but there is a big one that was not mentioned. It seems the drinking started at the company sponsored Christmas Party, so "what if," this person left the company sponsored party after havin…
  • I am the Chairman of the Personnel Committee of our church and my advice is "if you have doubts about what to do in this situation, seek an attorney." It is better to have the church covered legally than to learn the hard way.
  • I have to go with Pork1 on this one. The liability could add up. My wife is a Paralegal and the firm she works for offers $300 per year per employee for Wellness. This is presented to them at the end of the year after they have passed a screening …

  • Ritaanz, Bingo! You win the prize! Don, I have never seen you so riled up on the forum. I guess when your chain is being jerked around, you get that way. Oh well, I have to get back to the web. Don't want to miss threads like this one.
