Great article about the Bozeman/Facebook controversy and the fallout inside the city leadership afterwards here: [url]http://www.montanasnewsstation.com/Global/story.asp?S=10577236[/url] Contrary to what Sonny suggested, it WAS the HR person who s…

Did I call it or what?? I'm so good.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Bozeman city hall today. I can only imagine a group of forty somethings huddled around a computer trying to figure out what a "Facebook" is and what bookstore sells them. Meanwhile, the phones are ringing …

I found the e-mail address for the HR Director. We could ask her?

Bozeman is already backpeddling. "Since the application policy has been released, Bozeman City Attorney Greg Sullivan said in The Daily Chronicle that the policy may change – instead of asking applicants for login information, applicants would be r…

Unbelievable. Mindboggling. My guess is this policy will be hastily modified by next week. Passwords?? Are you kidding me? Is the city of Bozo-man going to peruse the inbox of applicants? If I was a transgender, disabled, pregant minority I wo…

I didnt take it off. It was taken from me by the Forum Administrators when I incorrectly answered a question about whether I supported Frank's alternatively-dressed lifestyle. I took a firm stand for traditional attire and was persecuted for it. …

Yeah, this thread will certainly make new people want to participate.

I thought I recognized you in that Qwiki Mart video.
-
I dont think Nae is understanding why I posted this video. I posted it as a cautionary warning to employers. She's taking it as a "how to" instructional vide.
-
Yeah, I thought of that one too although there is speculation that the video from the Domino's incident was too good to have been shot by a cell phone. The video I posted shows a workplace that is completely out of control. Given that most conveni…

We actually did that last year in our housekeeping department. It worked OK but over time the watches started dissapearing. Not intentionally. I think people just forgot to return them. This year we just asked them to bring a cheap watch if they…

I guess I should clarify. Our policy addresses our seasonal summer staff who are mostly college age and work short shifts (about 3 hours on average) or have multiple breaks during their day where they can access their phones and check messages. Th…

That was our issue. It wasn't phone calls. It was texting or reading texts.
-
I think in Linda's example you have an employee with a legitimate business purpose for carrying a cell phone. We have several employees who carry cell phones for business purposes. That's not the issue we are dealing with. Our policy is addressed…

I got a little sharp with a young man who started texting during a new employee orientation. It turned out he was just texting his mom to send him some info he needed for his I-9.
-
Yeah, maybe. Perhaps we could coax them out with some cheese?
-
Umm.... ok, its all the "old" people talking in this thread.

Owner brings in the brudda in law to do some part time under the table work as a receptionist. What could go wrong? Fuggadabout it. You've made your objections known. Like others have said, document and move on. No point in you wrecking your c…

We have never run into this to my knowledge. I think the only thing that we have had is staff who carry knives (leathermans, etc). Doing a google search for "concealed gun at work" I was able to find a sample policy that indicated you can prohibit…
-
Yes, I have heard about that one. On the surface it does sound questionable but I think you would need to know more about the specifics of the case. What came to my mind was adverse impact. Was the promotion process biased against minority candid…

Not sure yet. Does she have a record on employment related opinions and decisions?

There are all kinds of issues here. The New York Times published an article which claims american teenagers are sending on average 2,200 texts each month or roughly 80 per day. Health experts are becoming concerned about the impact of all this tex…
-
That was an interesting article with a very thoughtful approach to this issue. I like how the employer looked at the issue in light of the employee's and their overall productivity. I think the amount of time spent on texting can be a serious prob…

Good link. Am reading.
-
Well, if there is one thing I dont like its not being "in the know" about something techy. I've heard its just for job seekers but I like what Wendi has said about using it. I have a huge network of colleagues after having been here so long in thi…

I am probably not one to talk about healthy lifestyle. Im fit but thats because I keep active. My diet is not horrible (everything in moderation) but not great either. (hotdogs) This year I need to get a complete physical. I wonder if Target wo…

Just seeing if anyone is paying attention.

Ok, let me ask you this. How do you feel about heavy taxes on bad behavior? - alcohol - cigarettes - snacks - fast food - Televisions Would you be opposed to that? What if cigarettes cost $8 or $10 per pack? What if 10 percent of all snack fo…
