I have $5.00 that says she does sue, and wins! Any takers? I also am willing to bet if Mom wasn't involved in the business it would be much more profitable. I could be wrong with that but there is no doubt that an unprofessionally managed busines…

Being the owner of a company does not allow one to act like a bitch. Sorry but from what you have described, that is her behavior. Very unprofessional, not to mention most likely illegal. Sounds like most are not happy there, and all fear upsetti…

Myself, I would fire him. 25 days in 9 months, almost 3 days a month! As long as the policy does not call for any more steps, I would bring him in and give the discussion about the impact on others etc, then let him go. The other option is wait f…

My first post but after reading the question I had to put my two cents in! The post saying interview both to see about fit is right on. How an individual "fits in" with the company and it's culture is as important as technical ability. As for deg…

Don, (Congrats on the milestone, you are an inspiration to us all!) My thought was glad to see her peer group letting her know that they believe she should be at work more. If she is missing that much that place must have one awesome attendance pol…
