I can only speak for myself, but I kinda script out what I want to say........think over objections etc.....review it rewrite it then run through the conversation in my mind. I feel often you can anticipate how a person will behave. I always allow…

Well I agree with Shadowfax's original post, and I have a lot of respect for someone who has dealt with the demons of addiction and conquered them. Yes it may always be an ongoing battle, but his distinction between recovered and recovering is accu…

Or you could let him violate policies to the point you term him. Look at it this way he disclosed the problem to you. I think it is great that your company is willing to pay for him to do what needs to be done trying to take care of this problem. …

Our is: Telephone Calls / Cell Phones Personal calls are discouraged. On most construction sites, the work force is distributed over several areas, making it difficult to contact employees for personal calls. An emergency call, however, will receiv…

Interesting thread. I would terminate once FMLA runs out...........all of this treatment has indicated that it is not work related until now. If she wants to file a WC claim I would submit one, inform the person you work with the you EXPECT this t…

Okay I have been there and done that. Worked as part of the asset protection department for a large retailer. MWild, sorry you are wrong. Never ever announce you are placing a surveillance camera. Lots of good advice. Contract with a security …

Ketel, All good advice, HRBanker really hit a home run with his post. Hats off to you. Been on both ends..............sucks both ways. When I was laid off at my last job it was handled very appropriately, I was not at all angry. Funny thing is m…

Well that is why they have blind ads. I within the last 4 weeks had an employee I thought was fairly intelligent, tell her supervisor she was going to begin a job search as she was unhappy. Her attitude dropped appropriately. After consulting the…

I am doing a toolbox talk on the subject, reminding everyone that it does not change our policy of no guns on our jobsites, property or in the vehicles while on company business. This includes private vehicles as they are subject to search under ou…

Send her home until other work becomes available. If an employee refuses to work, when work is available, I don't like forcing them to do it. I usually will sit down with them, discuss the issue, but inform them that since they feel they cannot do…

When I worked at a large retailer, when a person was caught stealing he preferred having the person taken out by the police in handcuffs. While I typically agree discipline should be done in private. The message that you steal you get fired, or wo…
