The first guy I ever fired (I was 18) broke my nose. When I was in college, I had to fire my girlfriend's brother. Two days after college graduation, when I showed up for my first 'real' job, I received instructions from the owner to start my day …

You are such a potty mouth!

We could make this into a drinking game. Everytime the boss discovers that some supposedly-simple task assigned to unskilled high school kids is actually pretty difficult, we drink! Any takers?

One of my branch managers was a White Castle manager 15 years ago... This episode is her dream come true.

I want to see the episode of Undercover Boss where the CEO has to go sit in the HR office for a day. The day before, the HR Mgr. would send out a reminder to all employees stressing how important it is that they take advantage of the department's O…

We have bullies who "talk" co-workers into letting them have the preferred lunch slots, etc. I also have one who managed over time to convince most of our employees that he had a designated parking space. I got involved when he threatened to have a…

[quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;719130] This coming from a guy who has watched all 20 seasons of Survivor.[/quote] Is it only 20 seasons? Wasn't Jack LaLanne the first winner?

[quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;719123] Some of the worst bullies I have seen have been female. Just sayin...[/quote] Yeah, but didn't most of them go to The Forum That Shall Not Be Named?

You're spot on with your concern... In my experience, that is exactly why supervisors want that feature. Here's the problem, though. If the employee is allowed to consistently come back to work early, OR the employee is coaxed into coming back earl…

One of the amazing things about the Miracle On Ice team was how little NHL success those players had. Many of them never played another competitive minute after winning the Gold. One of my fave sportswriters, Joe Posnanski, posted this nice colle…

I also find him guilty of wasting one of the world's most powerful chick magnets on some real skanks. I mean, c'mon, Tiger - strippers and hookers? How cliche. You couldn't even leverage your fame, fortune and good looks to get a night with Jessi…

Depends on the employee.

I don't even know what commuter benefits are.

I would have never considered 'extending' FMLA beyond the 12 weeks as an ADA accommodation. Is that something the DoL has suggested?

It's not retaliation if she can't return to work.

I take it one quasi-psycho step farther. I tell all new employees during their orientation that I want them to notify me immediately if any manager asks them to cut their lunch break shorter than 30 minutes, and I remind managers constantly that I'…

We've written a prohibition against working through lunches into our handbook, and so far I've issued two verbals and a written against the managers who requested/allowed it - not against the employees. No one has been a repeat offender yet.

This was actually my tribute to Andre the Giant. [quote=ACU Frank;719032]Ooh - Paul rhymed forum and decorum! Hope it didn't bore 'em![/quote]

Counting syllables is anal, even for Paul. Why would we haiku?

I think Celeste's review is what made me buy it.

Pants? On a bike? Do you reimburse your employees for sprocket damage to their cuffs?

What about proof of insurance, Nae?

Because supervisors would never participate in demeaning behavior...

No screen time, but I did serve as a consultant on the set.

It's not something I consciously do... it's just that being one step ahead of the fashion curve is my burden. Always has been.

Ah, but sweet sweet irony.

We recently changed our mileage reimbursement procedure to try to eliminate some of the piddly $1-$2 reimbursement requests we were getting, and to eliminate mileage payments to employees who were working at a different branch to get a new job or pr…

That's going to be on my tombstone... "Better Him Than You"

Our attorneys have prepped us in the past, but a video would sure be a lot cheaper. Heck, it would probably be cheaper to [B]create[/B] the video than to pay billable hours for coaching and roleplay practice.
