Yes, I encourage all of our hiring supervisors to send out rejection letters. I have templates of simple letters that I can e-mail to the supervisors, where all they have to do is fill in a few blanks. I can't swear that all of them do it all the ti…

I'm surprised that those huge piercing holes can close up. Even my little tiny regular earring holes don't close completely if I leave earrings out, although the longest I've left them out is something like six weeks so maybe if I left earrings out …

We do both here, depending on the circumstances. In some cases, the employee cannot be promoted to the next level of a position until they have met the criteria showing that they can perform the requirements of that level, so they do not receive an …

[quote=Sharon McKnight SPHR;717419]Well, I finished [I]Henry's Sisters[/I]. What a tearjerker! I could hardly read for the water works. Used about a half box of tissues. I hate when that happens. Her other books had happy endings. I was robbed. S…

[quote=Sharon McKnight SPHR;717420] She does still have those huge ear piercings though. Instead of a tiny, tiny hole for a pierced earring, she has a hole I could stick my little finger through. It looks sort of like a small tire wheel stuck in …

We have had a pandemic preparedness committee in place for about two years now, long before the outbreak of the H1N1 virus. Since we are a bank, the FDIC expects us to have some sort of planning in place if we are hit by something that could potenti…

[quote=ACU Frank;717373]I recently finished World War Z, in which the author meticulously documents past zombie outbreaks. I'm now working on Made To Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die. It's pretty good, but I think it would be better with…

I'm currently reading "Lost" by Gregory Macguire, the guy who wrote "Wicked". And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the t.v. series. I just bought "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", which was recommended to me by a friend, and "Pride and Pre…

[quote=Celeste Blackburn;717358] cnghr -- Never had bacon like that, but my grandmother used to dredge bacon through maple syrup and then flour and then pan fry it (in grease from the bacon grease can -- everybody has one of those, right?). Such g…

[quote=joannie;717350]Deep fried twinkies are a staple at the state fair.[/quote] I'd heard of deep-fried Twinkies and deep-fried candy bars, although I've never tasted either one, but chicken-fried bacon was a complete surprise to me!

I think in my daughter-in-law's case it's because she's been in full-time mommy mode for four years now, so in a way she's kind of reasserting her youth & independence. She got her first tattoo when she was a teenager and then waited over ten ye…

Speaking of bacon, has anybody here ever eaten chicken-fried bacon? I saw a t.v. show the other night where they were talking about a restaurant that serves bacon that way. I can't remember where it was, somewhere in the south, but I couldn't believ…

Last time we were in Lincoln City, we didn't hit many of the restaurants. We rented a condo so cooked our meals there part of time, and took day trips so ate a lot of our meals at stops on the road somewhere. The only meals I can remember having in …

That's interesting. My DIL, who is currently a stay-at-home mom, just got her fourth tattoo and I asked her after she got it whether she'd thought about it in the context of returning to work eventually (trust the HR Manager in me to never be comple…

I've had two different small paper shredders under my desk in the past and I burned both of them up using them so much. We have a lot of sensitive stuff that needs to be shredded around here, so we got a big heavy-duty shredder for our department an…

Employees who work on a paid holiday here get paid their regular salary for the holiday hours, and time-and-a-half on top of that for any hours they actually work, so I guess if you put it in those terms, if you worked 8 hours on a paid holiday, you…

I know of a company who was being sued because their employee went out on an on-the-clock break and tried to kill somebody...the victim is saying that since the would-be murderer told the store he was going on a break, they should have been keeping …

We used to pay double time for holidays, but we changed it to time-and-a-half some years ago. It just made more sense for our business. My husband had one job where they still paid double time, but he was in a union and it was part of the contract. …

Your wife has trained you well, Paul.

Congrats on the expected grandbaby, Nae! I come from a family with a spread of 22 years between the oldest and youngest...my two younger sisters were born the same years as my two oldest nephews, so they were both already aunts by the time they w…

I was going to ask how you were doing down there in Washington in the record heat. We watch the Seattle NBC channel and of course there's been lots in the local news about the heatwave and how people are coping when so few homes have any kind of air…

We're having pretty warm weather and my house will be like an oven after being closed up all day with nobody home, so whatever we have for dinner tonite is going to have to be something we can cook outside...I've been hungry for seafood so maybe we'…

Swearing in public is pretty common here. I'm a frequent swearer myself, although I try to avoid it at work and I notice that most people at work do try very hard to keep it to a minimum. What I was muttering to myself in the confines of my office t…

We use ADP and use their iPaystatements website for our employees to view their paystubs and W-2s. We've been using iPaystatements for several years now and it seems to work pretty well, and it saves me a lot of time pulling copies of paystubs and W…

You pale Pacific Northwesterners probably look positively golden brown compared to me...I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and didn't realize how pale my legs really were until I noticed that they weren't much darker than the white sheet I was c…

We have changed to providing electronic copies of paystubs (we are 100% direct deposit) on a secure website that our employees register to use, but when we were still providing paper copies of them I always sent them to the managers/supervisors to d…

[quote=bethk;717039]Well, this year.....nothing except a camping trip with our 6 kids and 9 grandchildren, which by the way, is TONS of fun! Nothing beats being a grandma! If I could quit and spend my days playing with them and playing in my garden,…

The most vacation I've gotten to take so far was a few days I took in June. I spent most of the time wandering around our downtown area playing tourist: shopping where the tourists shop, visiting the historical museum, and hanging out with the real …
