By the way, it just occurred to me as I looked through these posts... On March 13, "AprilShowers" apparently moved from Missouri to Ohio, posting from one state in the morning and the other state in the afternoon. Hope you got a good relocation al…

My brother had the opposite reaction. He told me I was a fool for going into HR, because "then you can't *bleep* the help". Ah... my dear brother. The clod.

After a great deal of thought, I've decided to help you all with this problem by offering my services... Simply forward to me all resumes you receive from female applicants using e-mail addresses that contain any of the following: hot, hottie, sexy …

I judge e-mail addresses, tattoos and wardrobe. I want to hire people who are concious of their image, and understand the importance of presenting themselves in the best possible light. I'd rather pass up a good applicant through being too choosy, t…

On the bright side, this guy hasn't made a mistake all week...

Unfortunately, the crowd I run with now isn't as hip as it used to be, so I don't get to use these much anymore - they're pretty obscure, I guess... To express the most insincere mock sympathy: "Poor, poor Linda Kasabian" (with bowed head) -- from …

My mother still reserves a special place on the front of the tree for the "bell" I made out of a styrofoam cup and glitter in kindergarten... 35 years ago!

I might disagree with your initial comment, though. My version would look more like this: "Had he not died at 27, Jimi Hendrix would have died at 28."

Memo to Paul: It's not a polar bear swim unless you have to break some ice first.

We HR heroes Also need affirmation T-shirts do nicely. Thanks everyone - especially Margaret and Paul!

No, that one didn't even get an interview. Most of our jobs require some paperwork to be completed in the normal course of a day's work - cash accounting, inventory control, etc. The first step for me in screening applicants is to see if their appl…

One of my favorite applications had this: Reason for leaving: "Hire me first, and then I'll tell you all about it."

Our main office have an odd demographic breakdown, when it comes to smokers. We have 12 females, and 8 males. We have 9 smokers, 11 non-smokers. All 9 smokers are females.

Applicants from hell Spinning lies about past jobs Pee jar stays quite dry.

It says near midweek, Yet my big calendar lies. Another Monday.

We've terminated twice for fake doctor's notes. Both prescribed extremely light duty for pregnant employees. One was written on the back of a business card for an acupuncturist (!), the other was written on a clinic's prescription pad but was signed…

I just ask them to please hold on. Then I set the phone down and go get a cup of coffee, etc.

I wonder how many interview questions were answered with "Yes I will"... >Was "Yes I Was" the Job title?? > >Guess it's like the Melissa Etheridge album..."Yes I Am"

>"Recorded orders and computed bill simultaneously, using cash >register." Multi-taskers like this don't come along every day. I hope you snatched this one up!

You've not seen anything until you've had a female applicant walk in for her interview, carrying her newborn, and begin breastfeeding at your desk.

There's an online store associated with the strip. (I don't have the URL handy, but I've hit it through Google a few times.)

An applicant whe came in last year claimed that he couldn't list his previous employer, because it was a "very secrit goverment agencie" that we probably haven't even heard of. That was my favorite. I had a pregnant employee who asked if she could …

>What item of Major Hollihan's clothing did Radar >put on top of his head and run around camp showing it off? You mean Radar O'Reilly, of Ottumwa Iowa? hehe You know, the point Don's making ties in with this M*A*S*H stuff very well. One o…

Mandatory lunch breaks don't bother me so much. What drives me nuts are the people who insist that it's their legal right to smoke every two hours.

I don't go into my defiant mode often, but... All my new hires sign a statement on payroll deductions that ends with "I understand that the Company has the right to collect any outstanding debts owed the Company through payroll deduction." I cite …

How many of you pay your employees before they work the time? I guess I'm not sure why paying for vacation that hasn't been earned yet would be any different...
-
I'd like to further discuss this practice of routinely allowing people to take vacation they haven't earned yet. Is that common?

The comp time bill is actually one of two proposed changes. The first was the redefining of exempt / non-exempt status. I could see union opposition to the comp time bill, although I think any such opposition is organizational selfishness and comple…

>> Your exempt manager cannot mix exempt and non-exempt work and expect to be paid overtime. Regardless of his or her doing additional work, he is "catagorized" as an exempt ee, and not eligible for overtime. Absolutely incorrect.
