I feel for you. Iam a chocoholic! I used to sit next to a woman who had a small bubblegum dispenser filled with M&Ms in her office. I couldn't pass her door without stopping in for a handful. She thought it was hilarious. I finally got feel…

I, too, encourage you to hang in there. I watched my mother-in-law try to quit for 10 yrs. After 50 years of smoking, she went to the doctor and got Zyban (Xyban?) and quit. My father-in-law had quit 30 years earlier. She had a little motivation…

What shaped my attitudes? Well a workaholic, religious father taught hard work and honesty. A smarter-than-I-was mother helped me see the error of my ways - she used the board of education over our derriers (sp?). Six sisters (I was the only son) …

I missed the opportunity with my 3 oldest. I married their mother well after their infancy. When our fourth arrived by C-section, the nurses ushered me out fo the delivery room with the baby - I am sure so they wouldn't be distracted while finishi…

I responded just a few minutes ago, before seeing your decision to fire. You ARE doing the right thing, not only for your company but for your employees. Several years ago, while working at a very large plant, I had to assist in terminating an emp…

Cute Baby! Enjoy every minute with her. They get cuter by the day! Our youngest is finally working her way out of diapers. Good news - cost savings! Bad news - after 4 sons, daddy's little girl is growing up! Ouch!

I would recommend against it. Personal experience: One of my HR counterparts had been tasked to come up with an annual safety award. Being an outdoorsy kind of guy, and our plant being on an Indian reservation, a 10 inch hunting knife with beautif…

I would not let a disgruntled ex tarnish one of my employees in my mind. If the employee is using, your random process, un-tinkered with, should address the problem. Since the ex left you some phone numbers, call her back and ask for proof. Then,…

I, like Eliant, would not take this lightly. "Getting even" could mean any number of things, including harm to someone or to the business. I would terminate him immediately, for making threats to the business and/or the supervisor. I have over th…

>I believe secretly taping conversations like this is illegal. Unfortunately, Ray, that depends on the State you work in. I have had 2 employees (1 in Idaho and 1 in Missouri) tape conversations without the knowledge of the participants in…
