Only problem is that its not me. But carry on. Plus, do you see me calling someone "weenie-boy"?

The important thing, Tony, is that the article met my two criteria: 1. It was on the first page of Google 2. It fit my argument and furthered my agenda

CNN headline "Take This Job And Shove It Folk Hero". Oh boy. Maybe "grabbing a beer and deploying the chute" will become workplace lingo for when you need to leave the office because you just can't take it anymore.

That's interesting. Wasn't me however. Apparently all Pauls are articulate and intelligent.

Dasher, I appreciate your side of the conversation too. I agree that we should be looking for lessons here. Its been an interesting discussion. Here is an example of how Omar Thornton's actions are being excused because of "workplace bullying". …

I do have to appreciate his style. Grabbing the beer and deploying the emergency inflatable slide is one heck of a way to leave work after a bad day.

What we don't know: whether the allegations of racism were true. What we do know: 8 people were murdered by Omar Thornton. The media seems to be proposing that a racist environment pushed Omar Thornton over the edge. Or maybe it was how managem…

I have had two twitter accounts. I quit the first one and the second one is on "ghost ship" mode. (all my tweets come from my Facebook page). I used to check Twitter and read other people's feeds (including Franks). I dont anymore (not Frank's f…

Here is a quote from a criminologist about workplace shooters: "They tend to be grievance collectors who remember every slight and … they tend to externalize blame. Whatever happens is not their fault, and they tend to perceive a profound sense of…

I suppose alot depends on whether the allegations of racism had any credibility. If they did, they deserved a full examination (not that it justifies stealing beer). But there are chronic complainers out there who dream up every imaginable offen…

But maybe its an issue now. So does anyone have a "no call, no show" policy that is effective but also some flexibility for unusual circumstances?
-
Apparently this employee was on video stealing beer. With taped evidence, a short meeting would not be inconcievable. Personally, anyone who would shoot and kill 8 people over a job is a dangerous psychotic. I dont think the length of the termin…

We dont have a "no call, no show" policy to speak of. Its not been an issue.
-
Thank you.

Do I get any points for recognizing your Social D icon?

Are there any guidelines on when/how an ee is supposed to notify the employer that they want to use intermittent FMLA?

Hey Nae, I was at the doctor's office yesterday in the waiting room for awhile and the lady next to me was playing "Frontierland" on her laptop. I thought it might have been you but I dont think you have the 4" profiles of your four deceased Daschu…

We haven't done termination letters.

Nae, do you think "Live stupid, die stupid." might be a successful line of t-shirts and motivational rubber bracelets.

I heard there is a guy from Bend, Oregon in the race this year and he is doing well. That's all I know though. I was in Paris in 1990 when the riders came through on their way to the finish led by a young American named Greg.

I think this will be an interesting category. Great idea!

If anyone is willing to share their Xcell spreadsheet, could you e-mail me: [EMAIL="paulknoch@cbcc.net"]paulknoch@cbcc.net[/EMAIL]

Thanks Irie. I have been wondering about the JJ Keller software and its good to hear from someone who has used it. Great suggestion, Coffee. I'll check out the SHRM article.

Interesting cartoon Frank. Very funny. Was this just for fun or are you thinking of actually using it in some way? I want to make one now too.
-
We have about 70 employees who would qualify. My issue is not just tracking but the administration. I want to be sure that I am doing everything correctly. Since we dont have ee's out on FMLA leave very often, I don't feel like I stay informed on…

Frank, your teller looks engaged and happy. Why are you bothering her?
-
Frank, please inform Ms. Flashdance that the Eighties are over. As for the woman in the news, I think its clear by her behavior that she is simply seeking attention and hoping for some notoriety from all of this. Its balloon boy all over again.

This is my busy time. In fact, I have to go!

The thing is, private religious schools have the right to require a certain level of behavior from their faculty. This situation, if the details of the article are accurate, was handled poorly. I think the school leadership could have come up wit…

In the comedy "Idiocracy" a satire of a future America where society has become completely dumbed down (the #1 TV show is simply endless clips of a guy getting kicked in the privates) you can get a college degree at Costco and Starbucks has moved in…
