  • In an effort to give the employee as much respect and human dignity as possible, I usually give them the option of packing up their stuff right away, or waiting until Saturday to come in and do it. Two reasons: Saturday allows them to cool off and r…

    in Take Your Child to Work Day Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • Question: What day IS Take Your Child to Work Day?
    in Take Your Child to Work Day Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • We are a State-chartered Credit Union, which is considered non-profit. Each dept. comes up with a budget for their dept., which is then approved by the VP and President. For 2003 our training budget was about $120,000. We have around 67 employees.

  • My sister's fiancee applied for a position with Budweiser as one of their drivers, and was told he would have to have a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) in order to fit the qualifications for the position. In order to have that, he of course had to …

  • Well, now that I think about it Paul, "steamed" could be a better description!Although I bet alot of us feel like we've gotten "creamed" most days! (Sorry, I couldn't resist...)
    in 15 minute rule being abused Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • I have to agree with some of my other esteemed colleagues in thinking that your grace allowance seems a little lenient. I would think 5-10 minutes is sufficient and if someone is later than that, maybe take it on a case-by-case basis if they are ove…

  • If this man is being insubordinate, you have cause to write him up, regardless of whether he is participating in protected activity. But due to your lack of documentation, I would hold off on the termination until I had more to back me up. I agree w…

  • Amen to that...someone get those girls some Hostess cakes quick!!
    in EEs don't want to morale build Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • Don, you're probably right, but sometimes the lines get a little blurred (probably from all that saliva) and you do what you got to do to get them there! And hopefully, this next year we won't hear the complaints..although I am sure some will live u…
    in EEs don't want to morale build Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • I just have to add one more thought on this whole morale business. At my place of work, we had some grumbling from employees who didn't want to participate in a training day, even though we were still giving them another holiday to make up for it. B…

  • Eric, I usually charge royalties for all my great ideas, but seeing you write Harrison Ford's name put me in such a good mood, I have decided not to raise a fuss..hmmmm..time to go home and watch "Raiders of the Lost Ark" I think.... Have a great w…
    in EEs don't want to morale build Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • Hi there, I am assuming this is something that is either on work time, or is being paid overtime to attend? We have two training days that revolve around specific training topics we feel our CU needs to work on. (Teamwork, unity, sales and culture, …
    in EEs don't want to morale build Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • One note: While your CEO can ignore the implications of one manager being humiliated and leaving, I doubt even one as "laid back" as you say could dismiss a whole dept. of managers complaints. While it may be difficult, I strongly suggest that you t…
    in Summarily Demoted for defending Work Performance Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • We also have a use it or lose it policy. The employees have their weeks allotted to them based on their tenure with the company and if they don't use it by the next anniversary year, they lose it. We do have one exception in that , with the expresse…
    in Use or Lose Vacation??? Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • Not sure how this would work during the holidays, but how about Summer Camps for the summer months? There are so many private and publicy funded camps that I am sure you could find some who need temporary workers during the summer when they are most…
    in Alternatives to Layoffs Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • One thing to add..does this employee have any vacation days (or any PTO depending on how you work) earned but not taken? If they are able to post bond and come back to work within the time allotted for those days, you may not be able to say job aban…
    in Question on Employee / Termination? Comment by Trinity January 2003
  • Hey there, I don't see an issue with email addresses being given, although a meeting in person to discuss the situation and write down all the pertinant facts should be the first and preferred option. If nothing else, I would inlcude the numbers and…

  • Ok, Ok..Since it is your wish to know what women see in Harrisson Ford, I will tell you! Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan, etc...need I say more? Yes, he always plays a rugged normal guy, turned hero, but I LIKE that! Give me a sexy confident matu…

  • Hi guys, As my first official post to the forum, I figured I might as well go for broke and say my wish list. I would love to get a thank you card, flowers, even a verbal thanks from employees for all the daily crap I put up with in dealing with cr…
