When we move to our new offices, my door will be the first one past the reception area......... First target for a derranged gunman after the receptionist.......... a pleasing thought. I have had conversations with our CEO and it appears the recep…

The catch 22 to is you can detail yourself into a box. Zero tolerance policies are this way, you screw yourself over so you can have no management discretion. If you list 20 different weapons on a list as prohibited, does that mean I can bring in…

If still in probationary period it would seem like the best course of action, assuming you feel the complaints valid would be to part ways. Sounds like he is not a good fit with company/culture. Just tell him that and wish him well. My $0.02 wo…

Heck if it were me, I would overhaul all job descriptions with the requirement of computer proficiency in word, excel etc. I would also offer to send those needing it to training. If she refuses to go along document and term. I am not suggesting u…

Tell the fat ass he needs to lose weight or that you will have to let him go! We cannot allow gluttony to create a safety hazard. It is time to take a stand. Hopefully by now all of you have figured out that I am just kidding. :-) LOL. Tou…

Just something to think about. If you have future performance issues, or suspect he is under the influence you can have him tested for reasonable suspicion. Then if positive, place him on a last chance agreement. In this agreement you could prohi…

You said you recently someone else who missed an excessive amount in the first three weeks. BE CONSISTENT terminate him today for attendance. For that reason alone. No need to have any other discussion. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

We changed our safety incentive program to eliminate those who get written up three times for violating safety rules/procedures. The feeling is we want our employees to follow the safe procedures. Safe actions = safe results. My $0.04 worth. DJ Th…

This is why you have a disciplinary process. I have been a safety manager at two meat plants. Enforce the discipline. Go through the steps, and let the union know in no uncertain terms you will terminate. It is safety and USDA issue that could g…

Lol, actually you should title this post, between a rock and a hard place. :-) I think you would be within your rights to request a fitness for duty exam. It is not normal for someone to be repeatedly hauled away by ambulance. You have tap dance…

I asked the question as having cameras really is no different. Fact is, noone is going to routinely sit down and review the tapes.......not possible from a logistics standpoint. However if you have an issue.........you could review the tapes to ch…

Hey PORK, Just wondering does your employer monitor computer usage? Is that really any different? My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

"I have fired, laid off, etc. probably close to 1000 people over the course of my employment and have always prided myself in doing the deed with the most respect and dignity possible." Sucks to be good at doing the dirty work. Think how many of t…

This is where I may not look like a very good HR guy. But if the decision was made after careful analysis and deemed a business necessity then the change needs to be made. You might look at for the future including the folks in the discussion, or …

We have a variety of cars, depending on the level of employee.........also car/truck allowances...etc....... That was why I was wondering if anyone had something out there...... My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

The last few posts show the challenge you will face in trying to terminate for falsifying a report, claiming wc. However if you have all decided that she needs to go, and she does not qualify for FMLA, well then I think you can use attendance as a…

Because our employees work at a variety of sites, while we could not require it, we did let them know if they did not sign up for it......we would mail their checks, no longer would they be delivered to the job sites. The majority signed up, those …

I am originally from NY, I would have said I am sorry, but I have a meeting, must leave to pick up child etc. and cut them off by reiterating where to send the resume. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

What part of no did she not understand? Write up for unexcused abscence. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

The only thing wrong is the fact that your MD is a wimp and would even consider letting him rescind their resignation. Other wise looks like it was handled fine, as evidenced by the reaction of the one normal person. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonm…

I've got a buck that says we have another post about the "great employee" the owner wanted hired within 6 months! :-) Any takers? My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Really why undue 5 years of success? Sounds like some or one of the higher ups may have someone they know in mind for the position. Hmmmmm. Post it, make sure the requirements are clear, that way there will be no wasted time. My $0.02 worth. DJ T…

My thought is you will just get yourself in a jam. It won't take long for a couple of employees who have been burned by this person to spread the word. Keep out of it. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Don, A little bird told me.. :-) ..........so it is not something I can act on............and with her it may change.......and the move is not until April, so no need to piss her off 4 months in advance. The one nice thing is if it happens I will a…

As a norm we should not see people bringing their children into the workplace. We have on occassion had an employee bring a child when the sitter got sick/ school cancelled etc. This is the exception not the rule, and typically it is a one day thi…

These are 2002 injuries and should only be reported on that log. DO NOT record them on the 2003 log. I am rusty but I believe you can limit your exposure to recordable days to 180. My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

I also believe that by asking this you now have probable cause to drug test her. Because she must be smoking something if she thinks you should pay for that! My $0.02 worth. DJ The Balloonman

Hey found $0.02 in my pocket....so what the heck. jajwanda I think Don misread the post.......and confused you and the secretary............ So while I can be as harsh as the rest of them, it appears like that to me. So don't take offense from Don o…
