Since I started the bad boss thread - I'll throw in my good boss story. The best boss I worked for was 26 year Air Force Veteran. He had a certain way he liked things done, was honest and forthright, treated everyone fairly, and praised us when we…

If we enable our profiles - will that make us "enablers" in the psycho-social world? However, not to miss a day of Don - I'm in! Zanne

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-07-03 AT 09:55AM (CST)[/font][p]I can identify with you on this one! I approached my boss (former one) about why he was paying the Maintenance Guy more than me as an HR Director. He said that the Ma…

Wow! So far I think you're in the lead, Margaret! Zanne

At work - pretzels and Diet Pepsi. Sometimes the little chocolate candy bars - But it must be a Mr. Goodbar! Home - Loose meat sandwiches called "Made-Rites". Unfortunately, I gave up meat for Lent and haven't had one for a few weeks and now you'…

Barbara: You and your sons are in my thoughts. We have several employees who have brothers, sons, sons-in-law, etc. gone now. We have cut them a little more slack lately when they seem distracted and I know that other employees seem to be picking…

I think I'm a softie, HarDeeHar Head, and a reluctent poster. However, I understand that you don't start picking on "newbies" until we hit 100 posts. Zanne

I'm originally from Arkansas - but have cultivated the accent out. Right now I'm in Southwest Missouri and usually the joke is about McDonald County residents marrying each other. Then the jokesters turn to me and ask me (since I'm an Arkie by bi…

Frank- You are now providing my forum giggle. I saw this reply AND your reply to Leslie in the Bad Boss thread. I didn't know people like you existed in the bible belt of Missouri! Zanne

Jump off the cheese train? What a great line! Can I use that? I wish auditors had more creativity. For some reason they want things to match up and don't like long involved explanations of why something happened. Zanne

Anne: Is he thinking of hirejeffery.com? A webpage with all his talents, skills, and background? Pictures of him at work and play? It might work! It might be the recruiting wave of the future! Better yet - pop-ups with his picture and resume…

We're recruiting heavily right now so I'm getting a lot of resumes and applications. My new (clean) favorite is onestressedmom. I can't pick up an application now without wondering if it will have a great email on it. Aprilshowers - you've ruined…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-08-03 AT 02:47PM (CST)[/font][p]I would think that people in the legal profession (or who professed to have started in the legal profession) would be used to crytograms, abbreviations, jargon, and jus…

AprilShowers, I don't know about you - but I think we missed the boat on putting our "professional" sounding email addresses on our resumes. With the enthusiam Parabeagle and others have shown about interviewing these folks - I may have to change m…

Let's see.... Recent applicants: Bickerchick (No managers wanted to interview someone who "bickers") Hottgirl and my favorite: "tranquility (I will reveal my whole email address when needed)" (Does she think I sell email addresses onl…

I started with a BA in Communications and didn't want to go into Personnel like my friends. "They were insane to want to work with people!" or so I thought. I worked at a hospital as a secretary and then got married and moved to another town to pu…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-19-02 AT 02:34PM (CST)[/font][p]Isn't it amazing how in HR, we become the scapegoat, the meanie, the villian? Of course he'd never have an illness if you hadn't scheduled those dang flu shots so late…

Okay, not a Haiku (sorry) but can you finish this? (Clean, please -after all we are HR people) Oh, the phone it keeps ringing The insurance quotes it keeps bringing The rates are a rip The salesman a drip ???????????????????????????

I once had an applicant that wrote she was perfect for our clerical position because she enjoyed performing "Office ditties". You know, probably everything would probably go better with a little song around the office.

We did check this website out and feel that we understand how to dock due to FMLA and FLSA. However, the DOL speaker said that we can't. Did the government not hire quality people to come out and talk?

Just a quick note. We put Aflac in at a large medical center that I worked with. The Aflac agents quarreled among themselves, tried to get me involved, gave employees the hard sell and made them feel guilty if they didn't cover their families and …

This is great! I have a Flex question also! Can anyone point me to information concerning cafeteria plans vs. premium only plan? Also, do you all allow continuation of the flex plan after termination? It wouldn't make sense since the employee no…

Jayhawk: We are experiencing a layoff situation also. I have a "Skills Worksheet" that you rate all the people with the same job so that you may select the lowest performing people for the RIF. We have run this worksheet by Blackwell Sanders in K…

Have a wonderful time in Vermont! Glad you are paid this week!

Deez: I'm not sure who is responsible here, but I have some concerns. It appears as though you are paid weekly - is that right? Also, where is your second week's money? Did it finally come through, or did it come as a check? Does MA have state …

I think the Dr. Laura email reminds me of the saying - "Don't throw stones in a glass house" Also - to all the Forumites - I think our discussion on religion is a good thing. I know the other threads on religion have enlightened me to what people…

We have PTO. Each calendar year our employees from 0 yrs - 9 yrs of service receive 20 days of PTO. This is for vacation, illness, and personal days. We have 6 Holidays that employees are paid for and a medical leave policy that pays up to six wee…

I would think that you have female employees, who don't kiss anyone, who may feel that she gets preferential treatment over them. Headline: "Qualified Masters Level Employee Does Not Receive Raise While Kissing Bandit Gets Bonus" Not a suit I'd…

It is true what they say - If you want to get along with someone, never discuss Politics or Religion. We have had several thought provoking and emotionally charged comments. I can see a trend that we are singling out those who are extremists in th…
