Recently seen on FB: "Do any other FB problems come to mind?" "No, all my FB problems come to misbehave."

Strangely enough, in an economy where people are holding onto their jobs we have seen a large increase in turnover. I currently have 2 openings, and when you consider that I have gone for as long as two years without hiring anyone, that is a lot. …

I didn't watch Seinfeld or Friends, though I have watched Friends in re-runs. I could never get past people who are supposed to be such good friends lying to each other all the time.

I don't see how they can do that, Frank. They can't go back and disignate it as FMLA at this late date. Whether she had her nails done, was home sick, or was in the hospital undergoing some procedure, they should have asked at the time; it is too …

Ha! What a clanker! :whip:

It sounds like the HR department has dug their feet in. Their lack of communication also sounds like they either don't know how to handle this, or are doing some serious CYA. I really really REALLY hate to say this Cheryl, but she probably needs t…

I can't help thinking this was caused by some curious (and untrained) manager simply asking how much time the employee had already taken off for this illness. It is not unusual for employees to snap to attention and try to get the answers instead o…

[QUOTE=bethk;719277]We have a new district manager who says that Oregon is an "at will" state so he only wants his managers to say "it isn't working out" when an employee is fired, even if they've been here for years. ......[/QUOTE] Some employee…

We are owned by a hospital and so have our own AED. We require all employees to attend a class on operating it. We usually have a CPR class immediately after. We don't require employees to take it, but most do.

First, I am so sorry for your friend. She has so much to deal with just with the illness, without having to deal with all the other stuff too. It's hard to say what the HR people are thinking, especially without having read their policies. It is …

:ball and chain:Think of the accounting nightmare this would be. I would definitely not want to be the accountant who had to keep track of the 1/4 hour still on the books at the 3 years ago rate plus the 23 hours at the 2 years ago rate.... In some…

We also use current rate of pay. This is a great benefit when you are promotoed, but not so great if you get demoted.

They look like they can't make up their minds between the beach or the office.

I caught the Marriage Ref, but recorded the other. Hubby and I laughed and laughed. The rest of the night one of us was saying, "I can't. I can't. I cannot. I cannot. I cannot....."

That makes sense, Paul. I would like to see your form.

We never ask for letters of reference, just for contact information for them. We prefer to speak to these people as answers are more spontaneous. If we are given a letter of reference anyway, we just attach them to the application and file them aw…

I think it's true that you can turn a bad employee into a great employee with the right approach. It depends on how far you are willing to go to get there. I personally feel we should do our best to help employees improve their productivity and re…

Both I imagine. Some people claim that the prime minister in the UK is a bully because he yells alot and is confrontational. HE says he is not, he is just emotional. Some are aware and see it as an advantage to use over others. I don't think cry…

I feel bloating and lots of tinkle runs coming on. (Can I say tinkle runs?)
-
You tell us. No one seems to have any quick fix out there, and most refer back to management handling it. They are trying that in schools too, but it doesn't seem all that effective. When I dealt with a bully I went back to my childhood advice wh…

I have seen it more between co-workers myself. I remember working with a gal who blamed everyone else for her mistakes. If anyone spoke up she gave them this cold stare which usually shut them up. I remember her getting mad at me one day and I wo…

We used to have a member (I think it was Gillian) on here who claimed there were no bad employees. He believed you just needed to change your approach. Since he lived in the country of California, that is saying something. He retired still of the…

You ABSOLUTELY do NOT want her surprised when her time runs out. However, you don't want her to feel pressured either. We handle it by giving the employee statements regarding their leave. It depends on the circumstances as to how often we supp…

When the Olympics are on? You're kidding, right?

I thought the bit about thinking he was above the rules and deserved the temptations was probably a hard thing to say. There is really no way for us to determine now if he is sincere. If he is not, we know soon enough.

If you have an employee with a serious illness (ADA) who is expecting to come back at the end of 12 weeks, and just before returning their doctor says they need another 2 weeks, wouldn't you consider that an ADA accommodation? I am thinking I even …

Pattyo: if I understand you correctly you have an employee who will soon have used up all of her FMLA leave. You are concerned that at the end of her leave the employee will still need to take time off, and you wonder if there is any reason why you…

Irie has a point, but accomodation might simply mean another 2 weeks off. After 12 weeks already some might consider another 2 weeks to be a reasonable accomodation. In this case the employee won't be able to come back "any time soon" so I think w…

Too bad it won't work for me. I've known my CEO since 1986 when she was the staff accountant and I was the A/P clerk and we took lunch and breaks together. I think I would recognize her no matter what, but it [I]would[/I] be interesting to see her…
