Don is right. However, as a recruiter, I feel SO BAD for people who have given me specific references who I then call and they tell me what a horrid employee the candidate is. I so want to tell the candidate "you might want to take that person off…

SteelBoy I'm starting to wonder why you work in HR, you seem to hate it... x:-/ Cinderella

You betcha! x}> Cinderella

Yeah, and what about "friends with benefits?" x0:) KIDDING, folks, kidding. Cinderella

HRDallas, welcome to the forum. If you do indeed come to this site for "input, answers and general brainstorming" you will receive it. You will also receive comraderie and even friendship. Personally, I consider some of the folks on the forum to …

Okay but one more question....when you say ying yang, are you talking about yin yang? As in the "opposite and complementary forces" described in the I-Ching? Or ying yang as in the band? Or perhaps you're referring to ylang ylang also known as ca…

Okay, something is definitely UP with her. Sudden changes in behavior are a red flag for several things. If the notebook thing is true, then I am concerned about this person's mental health. However, it could just be the other ee's stirring the p…

No, I don't believe there are any laws regarding the signing of timesheets, state or otherwise. That is usually a company policy type thing. If not already in place, it is a good policy to have...something like "all non exempt ee's will accurately…

I have heard of the fraud triangle. I see several holes in it. For example, "financial pressure" is not always viewable on a credit report. Another example, currently unemployed candidates are almost always under "financial pressure" to one degre…

I am not a fan of credit checks unless the position has financial responsibilities like a CFO, Internal Auditor, etc. I think the main reason companies do credit checks is because they believe it some how reflects upon a person's character (honesty…

Don - DARN TOOTIN'! HRLASS - The company I used to work for in WA went back 7 years on the b.g. check (that was the state limit). They did criminal b.g. checks on everyone they offered employment to, no matter if they were the janitor or a VP or a…

My mother has survived breast cancer twice. The only helpful thing I can add to this thread is that both times when I found out about the cancer I completely panicked. It is a very scarey and helpless feeling when a close family member tells you o…

Don, I agree with you 100%. As someone once said, "we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience". Cinderella

Hunter, I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. You, your co-workers, and the firefighter's family are in my thoughts. Cinderella

These links may help a bit: [url]http://www.nccic.org/faqs/men.html[/url] [url]http://www.meninchildcare.co.uk/Forward.htm[/url] (lists two books about the subject) Good luck! Cinderella

And, no matter what the state laws are, the ex-ee is a legal adult and you don't have to (and should not) let his dad see a single thing, nor even speak with him about the matter. Of course if your state laws say the ex-ee can see the file and your…

I probably would have just stood there with my jaw hanging to the floor. I wonder what the accomodation was?? Cinderella

I agree with mwild. Perhaps the question is being asked because of the similar titles? In my experience, administrative assistants have reported to other administrative assistants, even though they are not usually called the same title. Both of t…

Phones-schmones. What ya really got to worry about are those spy cameras that look like pens..... 8-} Cinderella

Honestly, the really, really technical questions should be coming from the hiring manager unless you are a technical recruiter and you know all of that stuff. My question is, is the hiring manager that unwilling to participate in hiring his or her …
-
I disagree. I'm a recruiter and it's my job to communicate and consult with the hiring manager so that I know the tech requirements, and other requirements for any position I'm hiring for. I don't know the tech requirements inside and out / backwa…

I have hired for a couple of desktop support positions. I always like to ask what they do / feel when an internal customer is especially upset about their computer/whatever not working. I have received some surprising answers to that question. I …

My question is, how do you know this ee is currently "mismanaging" their personal finances? My guess is this ee is also a customer...perhaps one that owes overdraft or other types of fees? I've heard of banks checking credit histories before hirin…

I suggest shake therapy or STOP IT therapy. Both were developed by my sister. Instructions for shake therapy: 1. grasp the employee firmly by the shoulders. 2. shake. 3. repeat. Instructions for STOP IT therapy: 1. invite employee in to explain t…

I recently read about a company that has pets in the workplace on a regular basis. It's called ERC Dataplus, Inc. and their website is [url]www.ercdataplus.com[/url] The book I read this in was published in 2001, so no idea if they still do this or…

Beagle I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I have never worn those shoes and I hope I never have to. I find that when I have to have a conversation (of any type) that I am unhappy with or worried about that it helps to tell the person just tha…

Oh Don your not pricking any bubbles. I know that any work requires some teamwork, I just don't like teams that are staffed by those that don't pull their weight. If I were to choose between the latter and doing something alone, I would choose to …

Uh-oh the spelling police are here! 8-} I've heard Gen-Xer's are more team oriented but I'm a Gen-Xer myself and would rather work on something alone or with just one other person. Cinderella

Too much schooling required for Library Science or else I'd do it in a heartbeat I've also dreamed of owning a bookstore... I don't hate it all of the time...just when I'm in a team where others won't pull their weight, communicate professionally…
