>That's great. I am definately going to use that one!! Theresa...I thought so too! As much as I don't like people making fun of what I do for a living, a friend sent this to me. It's a good thing I know how to take a joke. x:D
-
>I would have loved to do that interview. x:-) Me too Rita...could you just imagine! I probably wouldn't be able to get the job duties out without laughing. Reminds me of the Friends episode where Chandler is interviewing and the intervi…

>Personally, I needed the chuckle H.S. Thanks. No problem Don...I aim to please. x:D

>When you watch an old Sat Night Live Re-run, have you ever thought >about how many of them are now dead and why? My friend George Carlin >had this thought originally. Well, they say that humor can kill you, right?? There is that …

>I'm afraid I am going to have to claim ignorance here. Here >goes...Who is Kelly Clarkson and what is an American Idol? Jessica , Sorry, been away a few days. Guess you weren't one to watch TV or listen to the radio much this summer. …

What? No takers other than HR girl?? All of our seasoned people with their pearls of wisdom are going to let this one lie? I vote for Rita....professional, yet witty...no, not as many posts as Dandy Don, but consistent in her advice!

My goodness! All this talk about Neil Diamond... Either I'm much younger than the crowd around here, or I live in an area where Neil Diamond is so far off the radar, that there wasn't radar when he left!

>Did you hire this person? and give the the job title of "Maybe I was, 20 years ago"? No, I haven't even interviewed her. She didn't have all the right qualifications for the job I have open...however, I was debating on whether or not to brin…
-
>Was "Yes I Was" the Job title?? It was in the same place as the job title...and like Rita said, most would probably assume that since she worked there, she was a "bunny"...so she just decided to answer the burning question... Guess it's…

I just got a resume in (no picture) but I had to share the funny info on it... and I quote verbatum... "7/1979 - 5/1982 Playboy Resort Lake Geneva, WI Yes I was Coordinated celebrity arrivals and departures. " Guess she gets a lot of questio…

There's always the good ol' fashion: #$%!*&@#%$*!&%$@# (Bleep Bleep)

Now I've truly heard it all! What will they think up next? Office Survivor? The show that has 16 people holed up in an office building with the only food coming from months old vending machines...having "chair races" and who can make the most…

x:D Good one!!

I have a similar scenario...but he didn't use the bathroom! Some guy put on a dress shirt (apparently over a tee shirt) but unbuckled / unzipped his pants and tucked the shirt in! Right in our main lobby!! Boy was our receptionist quite shocked (…

>It could be worse. One of my managers tagged me with the label: >"Angel of Death." Anytime I went to her office to help discipline an >employee, the employee quit on the spot! I got the "Angel of Death" title a few years ago. It se…

Most of my pet peeves have been mentioned. Some make me appreciate my company all the more. x:D th-up I agree with Paul, we need to start a "what I love about my job" forum! For instance, what I love most: Being able to really be there as a …
-
Tis sad when we get more response / views for 'What ticks me off' vs 'Why I love this job'. Shame on us...let's try to focus on the positives! I love this job because I get to learn everyday. Each new day brings another challenge that I get to ov…
-
Paul, You echoed my sentiment at the end of "what ticks me off". It is what makes the "stressors" of this job all the more bearable...being able to make a difference. I also love when an applicant / employee sends you a personal "thank-you" for i…
-
If that's what you're comfortable with, go for it! You are under no obligation to tell people anything personal about you.

I always say that I'd rather not discuss my salary. Hopefully the person gets the hint and drops it. If you have a persistent nosey coworker, I'd turn it around to them and say, "How much do you make?" Usually it catches them off guard and they t…

Well, as usual, this has turned out to be somewhat of a misunderstanding. He said...she said... Bottom line, we'll allow a person to "request a day without pay" if they don't have any accrued time. If there is no request for unpaid time, we'll "b…

Hatchetman, Thank-you for your input. I thought I remembered reading something to this effect a while back. But I kept getting told that you can't dock a salaried person's pay...yet we're doing it at termination (when they haven't accrued the tim…

Hello and welcome to the Forum! What Rita means is that on the main employer's forum page, there is a category called, "HR and employment". You would get a much quicker response to your question there then in this category. This category is more …

"Great Places to Work" is a great resource. The link follows: [url]http://www.100best.org/index.html[/url] Best of Luck!

Your policy says it all. Deviate even once and you'll have to give everyone the same consideration. What you can do, is inform the person that, "Although we don't allow for a company paid Berevement day for this relation, we will certainly allow y…

Thank-you Theresa. I'll have to check the new policy from our corporate HR.

>I will also double-check to see if any cases have been decided that might offer some guidance. Anne...thank-you so much! That would be terrific! This is certainly a new and touchy subject that needs to be addressed so us folks in HR can han…

Thank-you all so much...I figured that's how I would have to proceed, but wanted all your expert advice. Thanks again!
