  • Wow! Crazy. I hate the taste of "buttered" microwave popcorn so here is a tip for anyone who loves the convenience but not the taste: Newman's Own makes a "natural" microwave popcorn with just a bit of salt and oil. Pop some up, melt a little bit…
  • PS Where in Oregon are ya? x:)
  • Always Learning: You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders. I wish I had an answer to this issue for you but I don't. Let us know how it all turns out - this is definitely an interesting situation!
  • Now, now, Pork. Don't forget some wienies are made out of piggies.
  • Interesting. I am severely allergic to seafood (especially shell fish as it makes my throat close up) but I'm not allergic to the smell. Don't get me wrong, I HATE the smell - but it doesn't cause a reaction like the one your ee is describing. Th…
  • Well, do what you feel you need to do but remember that most of us love ya either way xhugs
  • Don I missed ya! xhugs Is the bottom note going to be your standard "closing" from now on? x:P
  • I know I would be peeved. It seems like too much to ask (even though it's legal) for ee's to front hundreds of dollars for plane tickets, expensive (and usually crappy) meals, gas money, rental car fees, etc. I would NOT be a happy camper if I was…
  • Although I don't disagree with deniseE, I wanted to point out something. I am severely allergic to seafood (especially shell fish) and I never know if the chicken I buy is being cooked on the same surface as fish. I pretty much stay away from anyt…
  • I've used online recruiting since I've been in HR (about 3 yrs). There is a site for every type of position just about, but for lower level jobs you can't beat posting for free on America's Job Bank and others such as that. Also, you might check y…
  • I though criminal checks counted as "consumer reports"? Maybe that's only if they are paired with credit? Oh boy, now I'm confused too.
  • I can email you one, just need your address
  • I prefer to run the check before an offer is extended and it is perfectly legal to do so (as long as you have the candidate sign off for it and comply with FCRA). In fact, I do the drug test and reference check before extending an offer as well. T…
  • I know you didn't ask for opinions, but I agree with the Tin Man on this one - 360 is good for feedback/coaching stuff but I don't like it for "official" performance reviews. Too many variables and "similar to me" and "halo effect" stuff involved. …
  • hmmmmm :-? do we have a salesperson in our midst?
  • I thought AAP's were just for those of us who are government contractors??????
  • I don't get it. If I moved to France, the first thing I would want to do is learn French. I would watch French TV, study books in French in the library, and talk to native French speakers. I wouldn't feel comfortable living there until I knew the…
  • GAH! I noticed you said it was at your "last" company. I can't imagine what ELSE was going on there. Probably a good thing you got the heck outta there!
  • It IS amazing how people act. My favorite story is was when I worked for another company the VP of Sales and Marketing would literally PEEL OUT in the parking lot EVERY DAY and proceed (to pedestrian's horror) to drive about 40-45mph through the pa…
  • Do others avoid the area because these two glare at each other or can be heard arguing or insulting each other? Or can other ee's just "feel the tension"? If the former is closer to correct than the latter, I would make it a part of a "performance…
  • Oh Don, don't be jealous now. I like "big time" just as much as I like "lay the smack down". xhugs
  • Paul - that is one of my favorite phrases "lay the smack down!" Whether it's the sub or sup that is transferred, make sure there isn't any retaliation to the complaining employee. This situation alone is a lawsuit waiting to happen, but mix in som…
  • I was loving the irony, not necessarily the saying x:D
  • "Weeds out," I love it. By the way - hi neighbor!
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-05-04 AT 06:38PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Although I don't feel my comment reflects a "liberal enabling attitude", allow me to rephrase: "Most drug addicts deny their use/abuse (and/or addiction) when conf…
  • Most drug users deny their use/abuse ( and/or addiction) when confronted - it is part of the disease. I have seen people test positive that I "would have never guessed" were users. Your testing center could probably tell you how VERY unlikely it i…
  • In Pennsylvania you must allow ee's to view their personnel files but you do not have to give them copies. If I were you I would make sure the "no copy" policy was a written one included in your ee handbook so it's clear from the get go.
  • They "right" and speak in fragments, huh? x:D Sorry, I couldn't resist. I would talk to them about it and find out what their skill level really is (or if they are just being lazy). If the latter is true, let them know what the expectations of the…
  • Let me get this straight - the ee that has complained about others allegedly not liking him and talking about him (but he's never heard them actually DO it) in the past has now called someone a racial slur and says that he's been called that same na…
  • I don't know - why would the supervisor want to know even just the little details such as sore throat, stomach flu, etc? If you're sick then your're sick. Document that the ee called in sick however you do it at your co. and if it's someone with a…
