I had a similar situation myself. I sat down and had a heart to heart with my boss and the gist of it was to stop micromanaging me and I'll start including you. I told her I felt like I was the mole in that carnival game, where you whack it when i…

Too many HR goals to list all, but one major project is to revamp our SOP database to make it more user friendly and develop SOP's for all HR admin functions to provide more structure, support and training for all of our facilities. My personal goa…

That has to be the strangest environment I have ever heard. I don't think even beagle's twisted mind could have come up with that scenario. What a hoot! I want to get paid for playing video games.

mjindra, did the 300 lb burping, sweating, swearing, video game playing polka dancer go too? Or does he play right tackle?

I haven't looked, but I'm afraid. Brownies

I was waiting to see if anyone was paying attention. Doesn't surprise me it was DANDY DON! (Ode to PORK). I ordered delivery. It was on the hotel delivery list and I really didn't pay attention to the name. But when you have this thread open whi…

Sorry, guys and gals I can't stop. I just looked at my Amex bill and I ate at the Dong Garden in Poughkeepsie, New York. Yikes!

I have to agree, Don. I wondered why my psoting was deleted. I merely mentioned the name of my beloved Chancellor at East Carolina University. Boy, I'm glad I didn't talk about the vice-chancellor, Irving P. Freely.

Whenever ESPN would show Nascar results, they would always show how he finished. I love ESPN.

That is funny. The exact opposite happened to me in high school. Sincerely, Dung (aka Steve)

I hope she did a better job for you than my putter does for me.

I'm a golfer and always name my putter. My old putter was named Linda and my new putter is Rayline. For those of you that do not golf, putting is almost a mystical feat. I try to get a personal connection to my putter so the ball will go where it…

Don, You want to hear somone with problems? My daughter is only 14 months old and I tear up every time I hear a song that has anything to do with a wedding. She's not even grown up and I don't want her to grow up. Do you go legally insane when yo…

I love that "by cracky" quote. I've started using it as often as I can, by cracky!

Federal OSHA does not require LOTO for cord and plug equipment. As long as you are in control of the plug. I guess KY does. Sounds like the investigator couldn't find anything and was reaching for the stars. The only procedure I can imagine othe…

I can't give you a policy, but I can give you some advice. Get their supervisor and write down all the Friday, Monday absences for both of them. Then write down the Friday, Monday absences of the two others. If it still looks like a problem sit…

I'm very sorry, but I cannot resist. Make sure you "appraise" they person that decided not to pick Reggie Bush.

Along with the not a contract verbage, add" This handbook is intended as a guideline and is informational only. The provisions of the handbook are not terms and conditions of employment and may be modified, revoked or changed by the company at any …

We are a manufacturing environment. Each of our plants has an employee appreciation budget of a few thousand dollars. Each plant involves their employees in choosing what to do. Obviously you are not going to make everyone happy. I encourage y…

Are you close to Asheville? We use an EAP located in Asheville that I could refer you to. Also have you thought about doing an employee opinion survey instead? I could refer you to someone to do an opinion survey also. That would get the stress …

The observation is to pass her class, right? If that's the case she's not working for you and shouldn't get paid. The other factor is the grant. I'm not sure I understand the grant. Does it cover two hours a day or two hours a week? If it's a w…
-
Yikes. I would try to remedy this. If all this is true all she has to do is make a trip to the DOL Wage and Hour office. If it hasn't been tracked, they'll ask her to estimate and there will be little you can do unless you can prove otherwise. T…

Holy crap. Tell this guy to be at the meeting at 7:00 am or you will start discipline. Make sure that rule applies to everyone in your company. If he argues tell him to put on the headset after the meeting. PERIOD.

Excellent idea Larry.

I may be throwing pebbles at a charging elephant, but we have "Fun Fridays" in our department. It's not structured at all, but every Friday someone usually comes up with something and we all take a 15-20 minute break to screw around a little. It's…

Whoever stuffs the most gets a prize? I'm not good with this stuff. Why not get everyone together and figure out a way to automate the process so you don't have to do it. Or at least make it easier. That would be a big morale boost.
-
Assuming that you are the head of the department, I would start with the rest of your team. Ask them first.

We do a modified swing shift. Days stay on days and nights stay on nights. Week 1 Work Mon and Tues, off Wed and Thurs, work Fri, Sat and Sunday Week 2 Off Mon and Tues, work Wed and Thurs, off Fri, Sat and Sun It equates to 48 hours one week an…

There is a great article in the 5/1 Newsweek about Nucor. They have it figured out. Keep in mind it is very complex and took a lot of time and money to develop. IMHO developing a "bad" bonus system is worse thatn not having one. If you are going…
