Because it's not business mainstream yet and to not allow it does not discriminate solely against AA. It discriminates against ANYONE who wants to wear locks and that is still permissable because it is NOT TARGETING AA. BTW I am very glad that whe…

I disagree. I think Dasher got way too emotional over the issue. (Dasher later on kept sticking to the "It's a natural way to wear your hair" and narrowly defining natural as no chemicals) The issue was whether the employer had the right to set dr…

Wrong. Locked hair is NOT INHERENT to blacks and AA. It came to prominence because Marcus Garvey chose it as a symbol for the Jamaican empowerment movement. There is nothing inherent about it. It would be like saying Catholics are discriminated …

I do agree that when people are passionate about something or some cause that that is when change is most likely to occur. Regarding dreadlocks; I'd be willing to bet that as dreadlocks become more mainstream and the hotel in question (way back up …

Today, because of this thread, I now know a lot about dreadlocks (and rastafarianism) than I did a couple of days ago when this thread started. I did a lot of reasearch - found out that dreadlocks are common to Celtics, (Ceasar describes the Celts …

Hospitals seem to do it a lot. My sister is a nurse and they have different policies for different employees for vacation, sick leave and PTO. Don't know the specifics since I don't work there. Maybe some hospital HRs out there will respond. Our…

I'm curious what you would say (how you would phrase it) to an ee who responds that he/she is keeping track because he/she feels he is unfairly being targeted - that she is going to prove that plenty of other people are late more often than him and …

Shadowfax already said part of what I was going to say. Every State's National Guard has a Family Program that is run almost completely by volunteers. However, any one who volunteers has to sign a volunteer agreement stating he is volunteering. E…

One of the myths of plastic surgery is how easy it is to recover!! Especially with all the shows on TV nowadays people seem to think plastic surgery is a breeze when in fact it is NOT. Does 6 weeks sound like a long time to me? Sure it does! - bu…

Sort of. Three unexcused absences (No doctor's note) result in termination. Partial absences (late due to Illness) are charged in hourly increments untill 8 hours accumulate then one absence is charged. If the ee has not yet accumulated three cons…

I think the bottom line is that the employee just doesn't want to be there, otherwise he would be on time. (Some training I have had in the past indicates the same thing). Some employees will overcome great obsatacles or plan according and are all…

Hey, I want to chime in. Hope it's not too late. Pork, have you considered that the pay is what is causing this "abuser" to "use the system" and continuously volunteer for extra military duty? His military pay must be a lot higher than his civili…

I didn't know you could bring a thread back to life. When I saw this (today) I thought my memory was gone!

WOW!! This one is hard to follow. I am new so I have a couple of questions to ask. Is there ever a cut off to a particular thread? I have been reading these comments and long ago forgot what the original post was and who posted it. Forgotten wha…

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I too would like to offer words of encouragement. I recomend "Who Moved My Cheese, An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life" by Spencer Johnson and Kenneth H. Blanchard. Good Luck and God…
