I just filled up last night & it was $2.19 - this is in Washington State! Up here they are blaming the increases on the pipeline break in Arizona & the blackout in the East. The question is, are we all so interconnected that crummy circums…

Leslie - I just heard about the problem in AZ today - I'm so sorry!

Thanks for seeing my post as it was - it's my life and they were the major influences. So that it's not viewed as a major downer by some, from those experiences I've gained: * Compassion when working with employees facing adversity. * A strong s…

What has shaped my viewpoints/beliefs? 1. The death of my father when I was six. 2. My mother - a drunk. 3. My step-father - my own personal hero. 4. His death. 5. The military. 6. Living outside the country for three years. 7. My divorce. 8…

We hired Elvis .... actually, he was an Elvis impersonator (think 'old Elvis' not 'young Elvis'). So strange to see him out of costume & in levi's and a ripped T-Shirt... I actually saw Steve Largent (Seahawk fame) walking through the airport…

I don't know.....xflash.....what would Rocco do?

I'm going to echo Paul's request - is this the way it is in NY eateries? Do chefs come out and slurp spaghetti with the customers (meanwhile a voiceover is heard talking about how sexy food is)? Do customers 'feel up' the waiters & then provac…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-19-03 AT 12:40PM (CST)[/font][p]I love that show! For me, it's the same as everyone else, to watch how the management team treats the staff is truly amazing. I keep asking myself - can they (managem…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 08-18-03 AT 12:53PM (CST)[/font][p]I'd vote for Gallagher - I love the whole smash-the-watermelon-get-the-front-seat-folks skit. What really, I hate to say it, 'sucks' is how closely Washington State Po…

What you drinking, big boy? ...Sorry, that's what I usually say when someone asks me my sign.. x;-) Sagittarius

Maybe it would help others if the could see the physical side of the joke. When you read the punch line, imagine the slug moving around as if it's on a wild bronco. Wahooo!! Does that help? x:-)

My predecessor..... My predecessor..... My predecessor..... xflash Sorry, I keep trying to remember what if anything she did. I agree with previous statements, it usually takes about 2-3 years to breathe a sigh of relief. Starting over or fro…

I think that's it - not pictures, but nicknames - at least then we can laugh at the nicknames - it's not nice to laugh at the pictures! x;-)

x:-8 With all of the responses - and suggestions - I thought Don D. was single - my bag. Sorry!

;;) Wow, I didn't realize this forum was also a place for singles to meet! When are you two going to hook up (Don D & Ritannz)? Don D. - definitely, not as I had imagined - I thought you were stodgy (but in a good way). Dig the bottle tree...…

Well, I don't know if I would call them stupid - but, I've definitely had some "winning" applications hit my desk over the past couple of days. I have one of the greatest applications - it asks what you liked most about your previous job and what y…

Well, I have one. This happened a couple of years ago when I was brand new to the company. The company usually assembled a panel of employees when interviewing for Supervisor and above positions... During the interview - the applicant disclosed h…

x:-) No, VPHR, I enjoy all of your responses. When I said, "...in this case" I meant in regards to the posters issue.
-
VPHR is absolutely right in this case - you can't stop it from happening through policy/discipline. Best way to deal with salary issues is to make sure they are as fair as possible to begin with. You say "staff" are finding out about others pay - …

I agree with Margaret. You can actually hurt your experience factor by paying less as the employee generally re-coup's the cost through Loss of Earning Power (Washington State term's). Here's the example: we had an employee that was making $17.00…

If you belong to SHRM - they have one on their website - free of charge. If you belong to an association, in Washington our company belongs to Washington Employers, Inc., they will review the handbook and let you know what should or shouldn't be in…

Hi - it's pretty typical that people think the FLSA requires breaks for adults - it doesn't. Here is an excerpt from the DOL website (I've included the link as well): [url]http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/hoursworked/screenEE4.asp[/url] "- FLS…
