My SO is my wife! It stands for significant other and yes mine is pregnant.

We must have the same software. I sent an e-mail to my SO that said I was feeling cranky but used the B-word. I was so embarassed because all out going e-mails using this language are investigated. I should have known. The spam senders still fin…

You can ask but they are not required to answer. If you discipline an employee for not disclosing their marital status, you may find yourself and your company in some hot water! You would have to prove it was a business necessity. My fellow forum…

Fortunately at my current employer we pay someone to collect the data specific to our industry, however, not all of my formers employers have been so kind or blessed with a budget for this kind of information gathering. In those cases it is much mo…

I hear you! It is the one thing I dislike about HR. Even when they have it coming, I have never enjoyed a termination.

Our local newspaper ads it in. We have no Govt contracts. I think it is good practice to include this wording. If it is not included and someone sues because they were not hired, rest assured it will be used against you.

I do not envy you in any way. This is a serious matter if the pincher is an adult. I find this type of behavior repulsive. I have a feeling that you company may be in for a lawsuit by an angry parent. Tell the owner that the brother needs to be …

Have fun, I love VT. It is one of my favorite states. We are going to be buying a weekend home there in the next couple of years. Will you be stopping in Manchester? They have the best outlets in the North East. I am only an hour away from VT s…

This to me sounds like the Bank is not processing things correctly on their end. It might be time to switch banks. If there were no problems prior to the take over then it sounds like they have the problem. In NY there are time and wage laws. Do…

I would also be interested in getting that web site. We are revamping our survey this year.

I believe Rockie's suggestion is appropriate. We have a policy that states status and salary data is considered private and confidential and will be treated as such.

The same is true for NY, only person one has to know.

Cheer up, just read some of Don's jokes on the har-de-har-har. This is probably a health condition. If cutomers are complaining you may want to mention it to him but be careful how you approach him. If it is just co-workers complaining, I'm not s…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-11-03 AT 07:11AM (CST)[/font][p]I have also experienced the other extreme where the applicant leaves off their dates of employment because you can determine their age based on years of experience. I …

I think in the workplace we need censorship for many reasons, not just for religion. I understand that this is more about tradition than religion and does not bother me personally, however, others may not understand that it is tradition and may fee…

I know that our laws were based on Christian beliefs however, our founding fathers also did not want state sanction religion. I am glad I live in a country in which all religions can feel free to practice as they may without fear of political or le…

Anne, I agree with you 100%. I also took a moment to remember the victims of September 11. I thought of human beings, I thought of the pain their families went through. I think we all should have the same rights and the right to express ourselve…

HS, Whatever expressed what I was trying to say better than I did. What I was trying to say was that it is not good to follow a leader with blinders on and Hitler is an extreme example of that. I wasn't comparing our current president with Hitler,…

I think when people hear someone say that maybe we should have taken a little more time before going to war with Iraq, they see it as a slam on the military. It is not, the military does what the commander in chief orders. I have and have had seve…

Why does he even have to mention religion at all. I am also an American citizen and he did not mention Buddha. I am not slamming Bush for going to war. However I did think that it was deceitful for him to lead the American public to believe that …

Actually my pay check makes no reference to God and 99% of my transaction are completed by using a debit card. The last I checked a dollar bill was not telling me I had to beleive in your definition of God. When the president is sworn into office,…

The last time I showed, I got free gas as well....x;-)

I'm a Mets fan. My older brother loved the Yankees so like all good sibling disputes, I had to like the Mets....Don might be up for the nudist role. x;-)

I would also be happy to join in. I promise to chip in for the gas....

The country went through hell not just Christians, the country which includes everyone not just those who read the bible. The country was founded on religious freedom. People came to this country because they were being persecuted by other religiou…

I would not have sent out that e-mail. Why George W. only recognizes Christians is beyond me, but I think everyone here knows my views on religion and work and the gov't so I will get off my stump now! I am sure the theme park was not checking for …

Also Baloonman, if you are claiming he is no longer an employee he can then sue the company for personal injury which could mean a lot more money for him. Be careful what you claim. Not sure if either would hold up in court but that would depend o…

I have not had this exact experience. The above advice seems to be the best general policy to follow. My only experience with a transgender person in the work place was with a CDL class A driver. This person applied for a job with our company, we …

I believe you are correct. Once upon a time, I applied for a state job. I was told by relative that works in a different department that I would not even be considered if I was not of a minority group. I far exceed the requirements but was never …

In response to the question "would employers revert back to the days of discrimination". Yes, some would. I can give you a personal account of this. When I began my HR career, I was a recruiter and at the time I worked for a manufacturing company…
