  • You'll be back. You'll miss us too much to NOT check in next week, I'll bet. x;-)
  • Then I wouldn't feel so badly about letting them go. They knew going in the consequences yet they chose to partake anyway. Let them keep the ham and I'm sure they'll be able to find work shoveling driveways.
  • Sorry, man. That blows. But I think we've all had to do something distasteful like this - goes with the territory. As some of our managers say, "HR" stands for "hurry, run!" So you terminate immediately upon receipt of a positive? You don't do…
  • Rent a chick-flick like Sixteen Candles? Make hubby feel guilty? What's up with that???? x;-) Amanda, take my advice. Rent "Die Hard" instead.xB-)
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-05-03 AT 10:31AM (CST)[/font][br][br]This is what it would be like if a rabbit, a robin and two sheep greeted you today: Hoppy birdy two ewes Hoppy birdy two ewes Hoppy birdy, dear Amanda Hoppy birdy…
  • Yes. It's a woman-owned business. Six female lawyers and two male lawyers (one of them's a partner and his bio says that he specializes in antitrust law so no one at the firm can tell whether he's doing a good job at it or not).
  • Are you insinuating that I am incapable of introducing a bit of decorum to the environment? x;-)
  • Ritaanz, you just proved my case. You would fit right in with those women - yes, in part due to your sense of humour. x;-) I just feel kinda sorry for the guys who work there. I think they need a get-tough, hard-nosed HR manager (maybe someone lik…
  • The hilarious thing is that this is a LAW FIRM! Their site is just a riot! There are disclaimers all over the place telling visitors that it's all a joke, they really are good lawyers, etc. but the site just had me rolling on the floor.
  • I don't see many rays of sunshine peering through the circumstances outlined in your post. It is probably the most difficult type of position to be in when the people who should be going to your boss are actually going to you to deal with their iss…
  • Maybe it would be more appropriate to post this in the thread on the Menorah as a holiday decoration (don't get anyone started on the symbolism of the Christmas tree, though). x;-)
  • Okay. This is my final breakdown for the cast of "HR Forum Peanuts." Still not really sure about some of these pairings, but it's the best I can do. Next, HR Forumites as "Cheers" characters. No - Wait - HR Forumites on "Gilligan's Island." No,…
  • Final results for what? x:-/
  • Woodstock is one of my favorites. But I think Snoopy is the coolest (maybe because I have a stuffed WWI flying ace Snoopy on my desk courtesy of Met Life). x;-)
  • I'll bet we could pitch it to a network, Whatever.
  • If the shoe fits, Ritaanz.x;-) But I couldn't do Sex in the City - I've never watched it (can't stand Sarah Jessica Parker - don't know why, she just grates on me like nails on a blackboard).
  • Judge Wapner at 4:00... Wednesday... Judge Wapner at 4:00.
  • You're giving me FAR too much credit, Mwild! x;-)
  • I don't think I've ever seen Franklin. Have to go to the website and see which one he is. Guess if I pictured myself for anyone it would have been Snoopy - desk-bound type who fantasized about being a World War I flying ace...
  • No, Mel, I need to rescind my character for HRQ. I was too touched by the fact you mentioned me in your profile. You are still the Little Red Haired Girl in my book. I will find another character for HRQ. Man, I haven't been backpedaling this fa…
  • I could NEVER forget you, HRQ! Just couldn't figure out where to pigeonhole you in the characterizations. How about being the little Red Haired Girl? Or is it too late and I'm just sucking swamp water here? x;-)
  • She's not kidding, Ray. I got a flaming e-mail from Don once when I inadvertently neglected to capitalize South. You fail to capitalize at your own peril. To paraphrase Margaret, "they're well-mannered, but wacky." In Don's case, I think we can …
  • Margaret, tell me you're kidding. They refer to the Civil War as the "recent unpleasantness?" Really??
  • I take exception to the spurious comments being made about me and the unfounded allegations of posting something derogatory to the fine people of the Southern US (I hope my SO in Alabama is reading this). Only an East Coast Yankee like Ray is capab…
  • Don't wait for them, Cristina. Contact counsel now. I'm hoping that what I'm pasting here is a link to the Martindale-Hubble directory. The page should be employment law and labor lawyers in Massachusetts. If the link doesn't come out right, e-m…
  • They may be taking so much time to respond because they want to coordinate their response with their counsel. Make sure they don't say anything they shouldn't.
  • Cristina, please don't wait too long before contacting a lawyer. As others have said, a plaintiff's attorney may charge no consultation fee and if your case is solid will probably take it on a contingency basis. But whatever you do, please do NOT …
  • Deez, I am so sorry! I just about felt the wind knocked out of me when I read your post. As far as your personnel file is concerned, I'm not sure about MA law - in OR, you would be entitled to a copy of it. Also, some states mandate a narrative r…
  • Actually she's not on mine anymore at all. But since I just renewed my subscription, I can only assume that James has selectively removed her from subscribers only, thereby generating more revenue for the company. So, pay your invoice and she'll d…
  • I, for one, didn't even notice (but then again, I've never been accused of being very observant - just ask my ex-wife). However, I'm rather disappointed, James, that you would cave to pressure brought on by Don D., Ritaanz, Ray, et al. and contort …
