I have a general rule of thumb: If you say you graduated from high school, but you spell the name of the high school wrong on your app or resume, it cancels out the diploma.

If I had two applicants who are otherwise equal, and I knew one was a smoker and one was a non-smoker, I would hire the non-smoker.

It's been three days, and my employee is still hospitalized. This is unbelievable.

Some of my hair is dark, but most of it is clear.

Hey! I was only answering the question! :angel:

Well, managing the vending machines is only one step removed from that other HR core function of ensuring refrigerator cleanliness, so it isn't that much of a stretch, David.

In my last job, a regional HR VP visiting my location ripped me a new one because a 20-something female employee walked into my office, gave me a hug, and said she missed me while I was on vacation. I believe the VP's words were along the lines of …

I'm a toucher. Not that anyone here is probably surprised by that. I try to keep it under control, though.

Would that be anything like the Pants of the Month Club? I used to belong, but only halfway into my subscription everything started to look like it was stolen from M.C. Hammer's dry cleaners.

Affirmative on the blonde.

Now, Paul's a pretty good-lookin' guy. Needs a haircut, though. No guy his age should be allowed that much hair.

Linda - By 'South' , should I assume you mean south of Tennessee? LOL!
-
From the gut... You've done as much or more as you have to. It's not your parking lot, and you have no responsibility to the employee in that regard, if I read your post correctly. I think you hit it on the head - the employees need to go through …

In an unusual addendum to the opinion, Justice Thomas has recommended that the firefighters' teenage daughters all be strip-searched.

I view 'HR duties' as anything that allows employees to be more productive, either long-term or short-term. Even though I've been asked to handle some unusual duties, I could always rationalize their positive impact on our employees. Yes, it occur…

We're on Day 7 of a string of highs in the 90s (with 80% humidity), so I already feel like I'm in the oven.

I went to a Royals game a few weeks ago and I was amazed at how many of the guys were still there (it's been 10 years). They can't help you with seating, though. That's run by the stadium's version of the Nazi party. There was an interesting mo…

As a college dorm RA, I worked with a lot of HR majors and mocked them constantly. I even had a 'Notice of Infraction' placed in my file for attending the dorm staff Halloween party wearing a large cone on which I had created a parody of Maslow's Hi…

I'm showing my age with this, but I remember the annual debate over whether we wanted to stay with AP or move to UPI.
-
Since I generally believe I can do anything here better than the person assigned to do it, I consider everything part of my job.
-
The AP has been tripping all over itself for quite awhile now. It's understandable, given the difficulty the entire 'old media' industry has had coping with the Internet. AP has even threatened to sue Google, for example, because Google searches l…

What you're proposing is probably fine, but ALWAYS discuss this with the employee ahead of time.

If you knew the difference between 'kilt' and 'skirt' everything would have been fine and the band might still be together!

Back in the day, when I was "WOCO Frank", I was the HR Director for a chain of convenience stores. One night, an employee who was quitting (he hadn't told us this was his last night yet, of course) decided to go out in style. He removed the front d…

Think Domino's wishes they had banned cell phones in the kitchen?
-
We ban them unless there is a specific job-related need. I termed a young lady last month when she got caught texting throughout an online tutorial on her very first day. This was a few hours after I went through the policy with her and got her sign…

Somebody moved mine. I'm still bitter. Wish there had been a book I could have read to help me deal with it.
-
Ha! I am SO going to steal her identity! Then, when people see us together, they will think we are sisters. They'll say, "There goes Linda, and her crazy sister what's-her-name with the mustache and no pants."

One of the barriers for us has been how to handle the sick time that has been carried over to now. For example, I have employees with more than 200 hours of sick time on the books. There are probably a lot of you with even more... our carryover limi…
