  • ROCKIE: I am surprised you have not gotten a lot of postings on this topic. Every one of us have these type people and it amazes me to know how many supervisors comment on how great it was to get rid of the albertross! "Uncle Charlie" is his nam…
  • 3159297: Tell us more, or tell the manager/supervisor "no go on disciplinary actions or negative actions" toward this ee until you know the whole story. Jumping to the termination phase to quickly could be very costly. I know we managers think we…

  • PARABEAGLE: NO NEED TO GET YOUR RESUME CLEANED UP! A one time opportunity to excel under the "NO TRUST OF ANYONE" theory in a racial case is probably good money well spent. I have conducted all types of incident investigations but I, too, have n…
  • SJ: Early in your posting, I got the feeling that you entered the HR arena FOR THE WRONG REASON: MONEY, MONEY, AND MORE MONEY. Most of us would tell you, we work in this vocation for reasons "other than money"; I work in this field for postion, pow…
  • MARC: THANKS, for reading my stuff! I believe the best thing to do here is for the company to provide a "thank you bonus" for the extra special tournment participation. Are there not UNION ISSUES here? Why would you not let the labor ees have th…
  • BAMAHR: I have been on both the telephone hearing and the "in person" hearing in MISSISSIPPI. We have won on both accounts; if you have provided a complete and succinct position letter with appropriate attachments which prove your case, the hearin…
  • CLOUD NINE: SOME HRs ARE STRANGE and some do close their door for all sorts of communication. Usually, that is a sign of "considered weakness"; I close the door when I'm dealing with confidential matters that must be "close hold". Now it may be a…
  • Kent: Been there and done that, I prefer my current companies' method of calculating the value of the company car and with pre-calculated personal use miles, which are based on my best guess and record keeping on my part. However, I have been read…
  • NWAGNER: We don't publish one; the GM does get a list for his information and action as he deems appropriate. The GM likes to be able to recognize an individual's birthday. The office ladies know each other's birthday and will make a cake and g…
  • TRACEY: we use surveilence all the time and move the cameras constantly. The ee has no "reasonable expectation of privacy" on our work site, drive ways, or parking lots. The lady's and men's shower rooms are NOT surveyed for the reasons state pre…
  • In addition, you might be able to catch some finger prints. You should also ask that she clean her desk daily and put everything away and wipe the desk clean with a furniture cleaner/polish. This way she'll be thinking your actions are being orien…
  • HORAY, HORAY, HORAY: The way to deal with this issue is smartly; let the JEWISH ee off, let the MUSLIM ee OFF; ETC. JUST LIKE YOU WOULD THE CHRISTIAN ON A SCHEDULED CHRISTMAS DAY AND/OR EASTER. If you do not want to establish a holiday on those …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-01-03 AT 08:07AM (CST)[/font][p]FROM MY LAST POST ON THIS SUBJECT; IT APPEARS that some of you who are EXEMPT DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF EXEMPTS. We are joined by the company with whom we are d…
  • PAULA_AZ: I believe I would look at the accomodation for religious activities and consider the situation, accordingly. If, I am Christian and it is Easter or Christmas and I seek the same request as this person, of evidently Jewish faith, how woul…
  • BAMAHR: If your company policy says that you award vacation time; then, that vacation time should be considered as property of the employee, once awarded! Therefore, I would recommend that you very quickly satisfy the disgruntle employee and pay t…
  • ETHEL: ONe can be a "Texas hard-ass" and refuse to provide a simple copy of the application. Consider PSSSSing the ee off any more where he takes the next step to a threat and calls an "ATTORNEY DAWG". It could be that a quick print of the applic…
  • CWELLS: Only because the GM supports written evaluations we get them done! We do a 60 day introductory written eval and this also provides the biggest quality increase available to the department manager. We do a mid-year quick action form with p…
  • ONE VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THIS LIFE OF OURS FOR EMPLOYERS. DON'T ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP AN ILL EE ON BOARD BECAUSE YOUR HEART TELLS YOU IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! WHEN WE DO, WE MIGHT JUST HAMPER THE EEs ABILITY TO GET ON TO MEDICARE AND MEDICAID!…
  • kymm: First requirement is to assess where does your requirement for high school graduate or GED come from? We had that standing rule when I became the HR for Coca Cola Bottling Company and for my current employer, in neither case did we have a ne…
  • JUST RE-READ YOUR POST: the answer to your question on forklifts is, all who drive a forklift must be trained and certified on the specific forklift on which they are driving, a driver's license is issued and used to prove to any OSHA inspector that…
  • NO CHANGE IN EE PREMIUM OF $12.00 PER WEEK FOR SINGLE AND $41.50 PER WEEK FOR FAMILY. NO CHANGE IN THE $300.00 DEDUCTIBLE. we went from $200.00 last year to $300.00 and that helped hold down our overall cost for this year to N/C. PORK
  • AnaC: PUBLISH YOUR FAX NUMBER AND I'LL FAX YOU THE SELECTED PAGES OF INTEREST TO YOU. WE HAVE CLASS A, B, & C COMMERICAL DRIVERS. PORK
  • MONEYMAN: YOU SHOULD RE-READ THE ORIGINAL POSTINGS! This ee is a manager who has been given special considerations by the GM which took the event of the call in to the lowest level of the issues. Discrimination of a leader vs the corporate body a…
  • JM in ATL: GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE HERE WITH US, but, more liberal and influential with your GM than most of us have ever been. I, like "Dandy Don" and most of the other postings move for a permanent seperation. This EE has been given way to much op…
  • TN HR: I believe that it would be most appropriate to send her a letter signed by the GM, for he is the one up set-up the "nasty bag of tricks" with which you are now having to handle. He should layout the terms, underwhich he felt it was appropri…
  • JAYHAWK: Your PLAN is your organization structure after the RIF. Once you have a plan and an analysis of what position is going to handle which task, has been accomplished, then you can decide how you want to approach the identification of the spe…

  • "DANDY DON" You are so masterful with the right words, your "southern gent" fingers at the board is so eloquent and true to your profession, I agree; but until I find a consultant who is worthy of the money sought for services rendered IN THE HR ARE…
  • I HAD TO LAUGH AND REALIZE THE FEELING OF HUMOR FOR ME WOULD NOT NECESSARILY BE HUMOROUS TO ALL, HOWEVER, I CONSIDERED THE INFORMATION AND CONCERNS FOR OTHERS FEELINGS AND THE DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS FOR PHYSICAL ABILITIES TO BE MOST IMPORTANT T…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-22-03 AT 03:55PM (CST)[/font][p]BLW: If it looks suspicious to you and questioned by you, then rid yourself of the specific terms and be more general. Where you can go out on the floor and find a jo…
  • MHarris: Believe it or not I knew well that the owners would take the high road and do what is right. Stealing is one of those sins that just sticks in the craw and we just can't seem to come to the full degree of playing the God like role and tot…
