I once got a resume cover letter addressed to "Dear Sir or Madman". Since I'm neither male or crazy (okay, that one's probably debatable after 20 years in HR) I figured it didn't apply to me, but I've saved that letter & resume for years just be…

Yes, Celeste, most bank dress codes are more strict than a lot of other businesses, particularly for the more visible positions. Our overall dress code has relaxed quite a bit over the years, but we allow each of our front-line managers to decide …

[quote=Dasher;720043]Can not imagine who the HR adviser was on this one. Also don't understand why the teacher found it necessary to even be truthful in this instance.[/quote] I saw the teacher on the Today show and she said that she was caught co…

[quote=ACU Frank;720034]These days, anytime a teacher has an extramarital affair with a [B]non-student[/B] it's a bonus.[/quote] In this case, it wasn't even an extramarital affair...she had sex with her fiance a few weeks before the wedding. Oooh…

It never ceases to amaze me what some people think is okay to wear to work. Although we have gotten a bit more progressive with our dress code there are still some things that are absolutely NOT okay to wear on the teller line, and that is a perfect…

What I want to know is this: what exactly do the more sexy outfits/poses in the slideshow (31 - forward) have to do with anything?! In the rest of the pictures, she's just modeling outfits she says she wore to work, so if she's arguing that she alwa…

Thanks for the laugh....that was a fun way to start my day!

I remember there being several sinkholes and washouts when I was visiting San Francisco some years back, during a huge rainstorm, so I think ground that is oversaturated from rain does cause some of them. We get a ridiculous amount of rain here, b…

I've Googled myself several times in the past, but I don't seem to have as much of a Google presence as many people, largely I think because I don't do any of the social networking sites. I happen to share my name with a Canadian artist of some r…

We've always had an extremely generous sick leave policy. It's the same for exempts & non-exempts, starts after six months of employment, and is awarded at the beginning of each year based upon the length of employment. It starts at 1.25 days pe…

My grandson was playing it on the Google logo at my house, and his sister brought over a video game they have that also includes Pac Man. I was surprised, they actually liked the game, even though the graphics are so primitive by today's standards. …

We have the same setup here....a one-stall restroom with a lock on the outside door, and a relatively comfy outer area separated from the toilet by a wall. So if someone were in there expressing breast milk, they could lock the outside door and it w…

[quote=joannie;719813]Dutch, Loan Ranger? You aren't a banker like Frank, are you?[/quote] I always wished we could call our Loan Officers "Loan Arrangers", I thought that would liven up boring old job titles by being "punny". Of course, I want …

I agree with Nae & Frank. While I think she is being overly cautious about what she can & can't talk to HR about, and it sounds like she got the wording for her inquiry directly from an attorney, you should still explain her rights to her a…

Thanks for the laugh, Nae. I'm crazy-busy with a payroll/personnel audit right now but I'm glad I came on here for a few minutes so I could start my day with a chuckle!

[quote=NaeNae55;719716]Ours has been age 24 or 25, depending on the ages of the top management's children. I thought it was to age 26 [I]unless[/I] your children are married. Now I am weirded out.[/quote] Yeah, at first I thought (hoped) that i…

[quote=Sharon McKnight SPHR;719710]I'm curious. What is the guideline for most employers regarding who can be considered a "dependent"? Is it the same as the IRS definition of dependent? Sharon[/quote] At one time it may have been the same for i…

For us, this will go into effect when our plan renews on Oct. 1. So far I haven't had anybody ask about it, although a couple of years ago I had somebody ask several times if there was any way we could put her adult child on our plan. Now that we wi…

Glad to hear it was such a big success, Nae, and for such a reasonable price!

We've always classified ours as exempt under the outside sales exemption, also.

Our education policy only covers tuition reimbursement, also. We've occasionally had managers allow one of their employees to schedule a class during working hours, but that's only been when the employee was a long-time, reliable, responsible employ…

Wow, Paul, you look really good for being in your 80's! They didn't know much about me but they did overstate my age by a few years, which kinda ticked me off. I mean, if you're going to put my information out there without my permission, and get…

Wow, most interesting. They had very few things about me right, although they did have me married to the right guy, anyhow. All of the pictures under my profile were marked "sample" but when I looked up my husband's name, there was a picture of some…

No chocolate here, but I'm heading out on a break so I plan on picking some up. If I could e-mail it to you, some would be headed your way! The most overly-persistent applicant I've had to deal with was somebody who had worked for us almost ten ye…

There used to be plenty of pranks going on all year around here, not just on April Fool's day. Maybe because we are corporate headquarters, or maybe we've just all gotten too old and tired to think up anything new, but I haven't seen anything done a…

I agree with Paul & Nae Nae. There have got to be better ways to find people than standing on street corners holding signs. Around here a lot of organizations do that to get support for some sort of cause or during election times for candidates …

In our organization, resumes normally go to the hiring managers and generally don't come through HR. I do occasionally receive unsolicited resumes, which I then review and will pass along if any of our hiring managers may have a position open. Since…
