livindonsouth, You last sentence comes off slightly harsh. Tone is one of those things that does not always come across right on msg boards. :-) Evergreen's 3 people in two months may very well be an anomily......... if turnover is not a common …

I am a day late and a dollar short, but Crout's reply and JM in Atl are both dead on. Money is just one factor work environment and how you are valued are more important. Also do you make the work environment fun? Pick up chips and salsa before…

Quit/resignation. Actaully if you fired her you would have to pay in a "timely" manner, depends on the state. WIth quiting, check, often you can wait until the next regular check run. I would not do anything not required......and would send the …

I wear a tip pin and give out cards. Lot of my work comes from word of mouth or people who have seen me work. I do some balloons that just blow people away so literally I have been hired because they have seen the octopuss or dog that I make....…

I have been dinged for this in the past, but I have never allowed accomodation for non-work related injuries......full release then you can come back to work. Only exceptions were management, as they are sitting on their butts anyway ;-) My $0.0…

I have to admit, when I first saw the post, read it, got done laughing my butt off.......I thought this one is going to one of those that never dies............ My $0.02 The moving out of his house, getting divorced after almost 18 years because s…

I disagree, first responders should be trained and offered the hepb vaccine, but they also should ALWAYS practice universal precautions. I have always instructed my 1st responders that their responisibility is first to not endanger themselves in an…

Where I used to be I used a TI-85 calculator that had a random number generator feature. Would take the master list of employees, and number them, then put the range of random that many number, say 1 to 83 then select hit enter until you have the 3 …

Sorry, she has been told enough, ask her to cover the desk, when she refuses terminate her on the spot. Stop wasting time over this..... we all understand the consequences of refusing to do a direct order. I have protested a work assignment once, …

Now I love when I am asked what is your weakness! I put my family first, then work because I believe if your home life is not in order it effects your work. Always goes over well, and really is that a weakness? :-) My $0.02 worth The Balloonman

Actually not often, probably more just dark humor as life has not been kind the last few weeks................. I have on two occassions considered doing the above based on work situations. Either a termed employee or one that was disciplined. H…

I would bring my Glock 9 mm into work with me for a while, so if he flips out, you can be the hero and take him out. Remeber the golden rule: "Don't shoot innocent employees" My $0.02 worth... The Balloonman

It has no bearing on the employee-employer relationship other than the absence. Many times one gets processed to jail if there has been any evidence of physical contact between them. Per the way the law is written. I had a friend had a big fight …

I am late weighing in but what the heck. You are not disciplining people for having accidents, motor viehicle or other wise, you are disciplining the unsafe behavior that resulted in an accident. Don pointed it out earlier, I believe. "You are …

It will probably blow over, but since you are going on leave I would make a copy of all documentation you have related to her performance, and her behavior following the review. If worst case ever happens it will be to late to go get it, and hey fi…

Hey Don, What century are you exsisting in? Just curious. At my old employer, two years ago, my 10 year old son WON the NCAA pool, I took third, and a lot of grief from him. This year, though it is not the same pool I am winning, I am pretty pum…

Most importantly, I am in second place in the one of the two pools I am in, and the one person in front of me has two brackets that are dead. I should with just 3 or 4 more wins have it locked up!!!!!!! My $0.02 worth, THe Balloonman

I have always felt that by practicing sound business practices, being consistent, and treating people right you will keep out the unions. Most unionized places I have worked for had lots of favoritism in the past, that resulted in good employees ge…

Sounds like he did not show up for work as he ws "detained". I would still bring him in, and there is no reason you cannot ask more questions to find out all the facts. My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman

As someone whose wife breast fed and pumped, I think this is crap. She needs to be given a place to pump, but leaving every two hours. NO WAY. SOme good advice & HRinFL hit it on the head...... Need to stop this now and have a chat w/ super…

Agree PORK, but if you do not have the non-smoking environment, you need to be smart about trying to do what is best for the company........... My $0.02 worth, The Balloonman

The Michigan company fired those who did not quit smoking and offered to help them quit. As for not hiring them, I think you could run into some legal issues if that were the policy. Of course you can usually tell a smoker when they are in close p…
