  • I've haven't seen or heard this sort of thing directly in my workplace, but then I think some of that could be because as a female in upper management I probably wouldn't be seen as being very sympathetic to that point of view. I have seen similar…
  • I'm speechless....that is unbelieveably insensitive, even in this day and age when insensitivity seems to be the norm.
  • That's wistful? It looks like the look my kids used to give me when they were guilty of something!
  • I hadn't heard about this until yesterday, when a friend of mine here at work was telling me about how a young female relative had posted "I like it on the floor" and "I like it on the counter" and my friend was totally scandalized because she didn'…
  • We have a form that is part of our insurance enrollment packet that employees sign when they enroll in the insurance.
  • Too funny! That was a great way to start a blustery, stormy Friday morning when I really didn't want to get out of bed!
  • I tend to agree, Paul. When I saw her on the Today show and she was arguing that, when she was being harassed in the locker room she wasn't wearing anything provocative, just jeans and a white button-down shirt, I thought, okay, she's right, that is…
  • Wow, you've got a new teller with that much experience and who also knows BSA? That's more than most of our branch supervisors have...I hope you can hang onto her and promote her to something more in keeping with her experience and skill set!
  • I just love the "but it's been like this for 20 years!" argument. I get a lot of that sort of thing. We give all our branches a maximum number of employees that they are allowed to have. We allow them to determine their own minimum number that the…
  • Most of our branch managers & supervisors are good about stepping up and making sure everything is covered, although we have had some in the past who didn't seem too concerned about whether or not the branch was properly staffed. One manager …
  • Yeah, Nae, I know all the arguments for it. I have some family here in town and some scattered around the country, and one of my sisters is always bugging me about getting on Facebook. This particular sister can apparently spend quite a bit of time …
  • [quote=Paul in Cannon Beach;720641]Perhaps you need to clarify "I'll be your friend but I won't help out your farm" policy?[/quote] Ah, yes, that silly farm game....another reason I don't do Facebook.
  • [quote=ritaanz;720565]Man, that sounds awesome. What part of the country are you from?[/quote] I'm in the southern part of S.E. Alaska. On a daily basis, we have the opportunity to see such beautiful scenery and I am constantly in awe of it, even …
  • I have made a habit for many years of stopping to appreciate the beauty around me. I live in a gorgeous part of the country, and although I've lived here my whole life, I still stop every day and really look at what's going on around me. It may be j…
  • It's good that he knew enough to stay put. We have a couple of mountain trails around here where, if you start wandering around when it's begun to get dark and you can't see well, you could end up completely off trail and over the edge of a cliff be…
  • [quote=Dutch2;720493]We do not have it on every job description but we do have it in our employee handbook: "Being at work on time and maintaining good attendance is a condition of employment and is an essential function of your job."[/quote] Same…
  • As someone who has only ever worked for financial institutions, I really like #5. I've always thought #26 was somebody who was trying to be clever, thinking that the employer would appreciate a bit of levity. Wrong!! Some of my favorite resume b…
  • Have a great vacation, Nae!
  • Thank you, Paul, for putting into words what I have been thinking since this whole thing happened. At some point, the responsibility for this tragedy has to be placed directly where it belongs, with the man who made the choice to shoot and kill eig…
  • My spreadsheet is actually the attendance spreadsheet we keep for all employees. It is set up calendar-style and we mark all absences on it and when I have anyone on FMLA (we currently have two people at the same time, which is unusual for us) I tra…
  • Personally, I think you have every right to talk to him about it if his ability to do his day job is compromised, particularly when it's an issue of safety. We do have a policy in our handbook regarding outside employment, and one of the things s…
  • Our underwriter job description is very similar to yours. Our current pay range for that position is around $30,000 to $45,000.
  • Our categories are as follows: Employment Employment Status & Records Employee Benefit Programs Timekeeping/Payroll Work Conditions & Hours Leaves of Absence Employee Conduct & Disciplinary Action Each category has a number and withi…
  • 130 employees here, and rarely do we have more than one out on FMLA at a time so we still do it the old-fashioned way, also: a combination of Excel and a good memory!
  • [quote=joannie;720154]I went to the website, but just could not bring myself to press play.[/quote] I couldn't even get into the website...our system blocked it!
  • I went to see Eclipse with my son on Monday evening. His wife is a Twihard but she's out of town right now and hasn't been able to see it yet so she was terribly jealous that we got to see it before her, especially since neither of us are particular…

  • Yup, Sharon, I loved Christopher Moore so much from the first time I read him, I had to buy all of his books. [I]A[/I] [I]Dirty Job[/I] and [I]Lamb[/I] are my favorites and I always re-read [I]The Stupidest Angel[/I] at Christmas time. Have you read…

  • Oh, wow, Frank, I remember that episode....no wonder Interview with the Vampire struck me as vaguely familiar! The quality was definitely of the cheap, cheesy variety but even as a kid I recognized the uniqueness of a t.v. show like that during t…

  • [quote=Sharon McKnight SPHR;720116][SIZE=1]I just really haven't been able to get into the Twilight story. I saw the first movie and my daughter has read all the books, seen the first two movies and likes them a lot. [/SIZE] [SIZE=1]I read a lot o…

  • I read the first two books and couldn't read any more. My biggest problem is I can't stand Bella Swan. I had hoped that the heroine would be a bit stronger role model for young women but I find her such a limp, wimpy, whiny character, that's the mai…
