To quote an old Chinese proverb: "Better safe then having a supervisor and some innocent bystanders gunned down or injured by an employee who loses it." Okay this may not be a Chinese proverb. Fact is some people could make this remark, and most…

Sticky situation. I could argue either point. Fact is, that type of material is inappropriate in the workplace. Did he violate any rules/policies? If nothing else, you now are aware that he may very well be doing something inappropriate during w…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-06-04 AT 08:10AM (CST)[/font][br][br]We are pretty easy going when people schedule unpaid time off. However, once someone starts abusing it, then I tell the supervisors, NOT to approve anything. Usu…

We discussed this at a meeting just yesterday. I thought one of my foreman said it best...... People are going to bring it and show what kind of employee you are in the first two weeks. If you are problems the first two weeks, why would you want t…

The dark chocolate definitely helps. Another thing, if you do not exercise regularly you might look at starting. Exercise is a wonderful stress reducer. Also a nice cold gin and tonic can go a long way, or a tall cold one, even a glass of wine..…

I would inform the disability insurance company that you had work available for him within his restrictions and he refused it. :-) Second when he returns to work, put forth a repayment agreement for him to sign, $50.00 a week until repaid, and th…

What is your policy on phone use, and utilizing company resources? How does he explain the calls to your competitors? Who else was using the phone? What were his restrictions? Just cause you can't work doesn't mean you can't travel! Although it…

How do you prove there was no retaliation/ Kinda like Lance Armstrong proving he is clean....... you are trying to prove a negative. Like I said earlier, do you fire everyone who has had a WC claim? Have you ever promoted an employee who was pre…

SMace I must disagree. I had a former employer that had over 10 pages of safety rules when I arrived. They even had a rules committee. Yes they were union. The reason for 10 pages of rules were the failure of supervison to manage people and prob…

Work comp = no fault = aggravation for us! x:D As for retaliation........my question would be, have others been injured? Have you written them up when appropriate? Have there been injuries that were not the injured employees fault? Certainly, …

Well if nothing else my colorful response has generated some thought, and replies. :-) I have no problem with what Don did trying to utilize race as an issue also. I could see what he is doing. I am in a ...... spirited mood today ..lol, and c…

Tricky situation. My first knee jerk response is to tell the supervisor to go f*#k themselves x}> x:D of course that might be unprofessional. However, the key that I see is, "this is a professional person who still gets the job done" Isn't …

"So I have one manager that isn't receiving an increase b/c of his poor attentance and performance and I have to tell him that his department is only going to recieve 1.5% increase." Shoot him straight, tell him you have poor attendance, and your pe…

Hey LFernandez! Don't assume your butthead boss speaks for the new company........ Evalutate the work that you do, be able to show the value that they bring............ you may be surprised, your boss may be the one getting cut. You might want to …

Oh I wasn't to concerned about that in this case. Believe it or not I felt kinda bad letting him go. Was the first term who a) acknowledge he screwed up b) understood that the company had to do what it had to do c) even said he embarassed himself…

Fire him! My $0.02 worth, DJ The Balloonman

If I am you I keep as far away from this one as you can. Now if he has a conversation with his buddy on the golf course, you can't control that. I would be surprised to find a CEO that could not keep their temper and mouth in check long enough to …

Schedule as work demands, if he refuses terminate him. You can make the reason insubordinate, failure to follow an order, refusal to perform work or all of the above. Fight the unemployment claim too. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Sounds like a friend of mine King Alex SMace. Glad to hear everything is cool regarding hearing protection, did not see that it was mentioned did not want to miss the obvious. King Alex of King Alex and the Untouchables was an old bluesman where I…

Just saw this post, having some hearing loss is not a disability! Second, and never asked or evaluated was what caused the hearing loss? Manufacturing environment, so have you had the area evaluated for it's ambient sound level to determine if a he…

Fact is, if not eligible for FMLA, and all leave was exhausted the employer needs to be consistent in application of thier policies, end of discussion. While we all want to be "human" and sympathetic, the issue is attendance and ability to work, no…

Ritaanz, I have no idea what he has been doing. Fact is I want to talk to the employee who was assaulted as none of the "witnesses" really saw the actual assualt. Turns out he hit him three times........ Really just a formality, but our main offi…

My bad for not giving further details. The employee was suspended. Jobsite is an hour and a half away. I have a commitment at 12-1:30 and needed to get statements written up by the job site supervisor, and witnesses. I also think it gives him ti…
