  • :-S Glad there is nothing to be worried about ! (sarcasm, of course)
  • One of the lines I always think to myself when I have a distressed employee who has been offended by an insensitive manager in my office comes from the British television comedy "Fawlty Towers" starring John Cleese. Set up: A family from German…
  • this thread is almost to big for my computer to load!!! It took approx 45 sec! I could call the "computer guy" and let him know I need more ram, rom (whatever) so I can view my favorite forum with ease Renie
  • >Let us know what potential reaction from him in either movie would >have shot him out of the saddle. Well Don, The best way to tell if your "potential mate" enjoyed the movie is to bring up a line or two from the movie a few days lat…
  • There were 2 movies my husband had to watch with me while we were dating. I watched his face for clues as to whether he liked them or not and I took silent notes, little did he know he was being evaluated!! 1) Three Amigos 2) Blazing Saddles I a…
  • I am definitly trying to live my resolution this year. It is hard to change your lifestyle in 10 days - that is why it is a New "Year" resolution. That is why I wrote it on the forum- so I can go back in a month or so and see if I still feel I am …
  • Thanks for Starting this Post... Like Christy I am going to try to "Let go" a little more this coming year. I would also like to become a better friend.
  • That would be a good thread to start, Leslie. If we write it on the internet, then we have to stick to it all year RIGHT?
  • Is it legal to follow up with an employee's physician to verify notes? Just curious because we haven't checked notes before because we didn't think we were supposed to. Any thoughts?
  • Probably for the best that he never know who Michael Jackson is!!!
  • I guess so! Sounds like a pretty interesting career! Did you hire this person? and give the the job title of "Maybe I was, 20 years ago"?
  • Was "Yes I Was" the Job title??
  • Oh my! I didn't realize we were all gals! We don't sound catty do we? I was serious about Bill though- I thought I saw on Dateline (or some other news magazine) that a girl sent two copies of her resume with diferent names to be an intern on Bi…
  • Correct me if I am wrong but, I beleive that is how Bill Clinton hires his interns!
  • If you say Ahhh at a really high pitched tone, it is a sream sound x:'( . Errggg and "DOH" are appropriate as well. Sometimes you just need someone to yell at. Even if it is the forum! Thanks guys!

  • When asked if ever been convicted of a felony the applicant replied yes. His reason? "Joyriding with buddies in a car that wasn't theirs". Maybe he thought I wouldn't notice that this was grand theft auto??? Joy riding makes it sound so much nice…
  • Someone says "Can we have a Christmas Party" What you hear "Can we have a religious dicrimination, sexual harassment with DUI's company liabillity and potential lawsuit party?" :-S
  • No, but I would really like to see one too!
  • I guess I need to work on my toughness. I have no problem keeping other's information confidential, but I can see how disclosing my own information may bring down my credibility. I plan to be more careful in the future! Thank you for all of you…
  • that's good! I like that better!
  • Now that I have been thinking about it and after reading your posts, How does this sound: "I make around average for what an (title) makes in my industry" I can use the "around" technique as suggested, while still giving an answer that doesn't use…
  • 4 min before and after the beginning and ending of a shift.
  • Sounds like a good idea to me. If you can condition forgetful employees to associate anything, whether it be positve or negative, with their signing out you have a better chance of them developing a routine. Maybe put cookies by the sign out area …
  • thank you! I will check out this web site! It is so hard to know what to offer college graduates with no experience. I appreciate all the help!
  • th-up Thank you for the update!
  • Did anything ever come of this?? I am currently trying to find benchmarks for our company salaries... Any suggestions??
  • Glad to hear things are working out for the better. The wonderful part about HR work is that sometimes you don't know how to handle a situation until it happens. We are all learning as we go... that is why this forum is home to so many of us!!
  • Jessica, How did this case turn out? Did the employee's attitude improve with coaching or is the situation the same? Would like an update if you don't mind xpray , please.
  • This is one of those situations where you would like to help out, but it just is too much of a hardship to accomidate. If the employee were not in a position where answering phones between certain hours was necessary, I can understand changing the …
