>My wife wouldn't even let me name the dog. So, don't ask my advice. Sounds like a sharp lady. Just had to respond as I laughed out loud.

We try to keep our employees happy. This would not. Does the CEO have to abide by the same policies?

Turbo, Re: Scenario #2 Why would you want to hire anyone who had done something so despicable? As Don mentioned, we have to make sure we are making good business decisions. I wouldn't dream of hiring someone with this background, whether they were …

In Washington state, you better have a very good reason for wanting to deny benefits. If the employee is let go for any reason, I don't even question it. I just had a telephone hearing - the ex-employee had voluntarily quit because we wouldn't acco…

Crout, I would hope by reading what I've written you would know I think the supervisor was NOT reasonable. There's really not much I dislike more than someone telling me what I should believe. I had a friend in college who tried to convince me to…

I so agree, but there's that word "reasonable" again. Who's to say what is? I think you and I agree on what is, as do most of the other Forum posters, and it seems to me that the majority of people do. But it also seems that the "unsilent minorit…

Paul, I was surprised with Scottorr's statement about not being able to have a bible in a non-religious place of employment. I don't think most employers would have a problem with that - maybe it should be kept in a desk, but I'm not sure that is …

When I first heard the Little League Pledge, I was surprised to hear the word "God" in it. I guess that orginization hasn't been targeted yet. Maybe I shouldn't bring it up!

Well said.

Rad and Whatever, Your posts summed it up for me. And like you Rad, I have a prayer hung in my office called the "A Parent's Prayer". It starts with "Oh heavenly father, make be a better parent". It's how I feel, and it couldn't have been said b…

I believe you should. What about "diversity" that is preached so much? Hmm. As always, whenever a wrong is trying to be corrected to make things fair, it's carried way overboard - so much so, that it not only doesn't correct the problem, but adds a…

Maybe new management is trying to get rid of prior supervisors in order to bring in their own team. Maybe new management knows that these managers won't, or haven't, complained - they need the job.

Does anyone besides me find this situation ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS? You don't leave your job without notifying a supervisor. Period. Get the employee counseling? Give me a break. Whoever suggested this needs the counseling. I get so tired of having t…

I didn't read all the responses so I hope this isn't redundant. It is the responsibility of the health plan to send the notice to your employees, not the employer. However, they can do what they did to us - sent the notice to us to distribute to o…

Don, I was referring to forum members' comments re "benefit of the doubt." I don't understand what you mean by "I thought that notion went out years ago."
-
Just a few thoughts...I am a little surprised that no one has even thought to give this employee the benefit of the doubt. Believe me, I'm all for getting rid of him now if you think he did anything inappropriate. Your friend said that there was o…

Just a note about Shawn's response..when we adjust salaries the employees who are low would still not make as much as our employees who have been here longer - that wouldn't be fair. If the salaries are too close, we increase our longer term employ…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-06-03 AT 10:53AM (CST)[/font][p]When we make salary adjustments, we do not necessarily give the employees who already make the new minimum, or more, an increase. And yes, although we may have a minim…

We require our marketing people (the only employees who are driving their cars on company business) to carry $300,000 worth of liability insurance. I'm in Washington state and we are required to carry insurance.
-
Ok, maybe I'm thick here. Can't you change the dates so they reflect the actual hours worked?

ritaanz, Any unemployment that may have been credited to your account is a small price to pay for a disgruntled employee who possibly would have continued to cause you headaches. (run-on sentence) Good riddance. It is a shame though that the Unemp…
-
Yes, Pork, I did miss the boat. That's why I wrote to ask for suggestions. We brought a new lead in from the outside; there was no one from within who wanted or was capable of the position. This makes the learning curve larger. I'm not going to w…

blw, Good idea - I'll make this a priority and try to implement it with the next new hire. Thanks. Sandi

Dasher and Whatever, Thanks for your comments on this subject. I was starting to think I was the only one who felt as you do. It IS a sign of racism. I'm surprised more people don't see it that way. I live in Washington state and there is no way…
