  • OH MY GOSH!!! YOU DIDN't LIKE CHARIOTS OF FIRE?? I loooove that movie..when John Little falls down in the middle of the race and then gets back up to win it....brings tears to the eyes...
  • Well, there goes my whole "esteemed colleagues" remark...;0)

  • I would just like to start off by saying that all you guys are nuts!!..but in a good way. I kept waiting for the topic to get back to the original question and to be honest HS, I was beginning to worry for ya! Anyway, here is my answer: 1. I like t…
  • I had the resolution to fit into a size 10 bridemaid dress for a friend's wedding in June. Unfortunately, that means I have to resolve to lose about 50 pounds, so I am resolving to think about whether I can live without burgers and ice-cream for a y…
  • We offer a profit sharing bonus. Essentially the CU has a target profit to hit and when we hit it through the work of all the depts., then we all get 4% of our annual salary. For every 80,000 over it we get another 1% until it caps off at 10%. We do…
  • We also took off coverage to the chiropractor and it reduced our premium by quite a bit..guess there are alot of people with back problems. Also, how do you handle coverage of dependents? We have great coverage here with the employee 100% covered an…
  • I agree with the former posters. As you are not aware of whether these "private" numbers are personal or business related, I would call in the employees and have them go over the bill with you to explain the calls. Many people do not realize how muc…
  • Sue is correct. Don, this is a type of ID Theft that is fairly common in our industry as a matter of fact. Was is another financial institution that cashed the check for the thief in Ohio? Or was it a check-cashing store or something? Reason I am as…
  • Yes, the flood pants end at the ankle..you basically have 4 lengths: 1. Ankle length (Flood pants) 2. Clam diggers - Slightly higher than ankle length and loose fitting throughout. 3. Capris - 2-3 inches below the knee and can be fitted or loose-…

  • I handle the member survey cards we get in and I have actually had 2-3 who praised us for allowing our employees to adopt a funner dress code for the summer. They said it made them feel less intimidated when they came in and allowed them to be more …

  • Oh, and as to not be discriminatory, we allow men to wear capri pants as well, as long as they fit the same parameters as the females..

  • We are a financial institution in Houston, TX and yes, in the summer we have a dress code that allows loose-fitting, capris or clam-diggers, as long as they are of a material other than blue jean and are not too tight (manager's discretion). During …

  • Squishypig, Hope your week has gotten better. A couple of things I have learned in my brief HR career..what you can delegate, delegate. We have a Manager's Appreiation day, and we have a committee of employees who head up the planning and carrying o…
  • You did forget one other option Don...PREGNANT!! Pregnant women always study greasy menu pictures of food..we try to figure out how much we can get away with ordering..
  • Ok, I have thought long and hard about this and after reviewing the Senior's menu at IHOP last night, I guess you can't be considered elderly until you qualify for Senior specials, which is 65 I think..so they still have a few years as middle-agers.…
  • Hey Don, Isn't early 60's elderly?? ;;)
  • I agree with Don. We have a suggestion box to enable employees to have a voice for their complaints and suggestions as well. Being a credit union, we do have a committee of sorts to approve policies..that being our volunteer board of directors. But …
  • I have to say that although it can get annoying when people call in to check on the status of their resume, I try to take into consideration why they are doing so. It is one thing if you say in your AD NOT to call, but when I used to work for Temp a…
  • I know that in the financial industry, it is very common for banks and credit unions to require employees to sign a form stating that they will promise to stay with the company for a year after they complete their schooling, if the institution has p…
  • While I agree that it is routine in the workplace for employees to cover each other, a dept. head who will be losing money and taking away from their dept. to work in a field completely different from their present job, does sound more extreme than …
  • So how do you really feel Don? ;;)
  • I have a question regarding this..if the employees were salaried and willing and able to work, don't they have to be paid for this week, or would they have had to work at least part of the week to get the pay?
    in Shut-Down Comment by Trinity May 2003
  • If you have determined it was kept for recordkeeping purposes and you don't need it anymore, then you can discreetly ask the employee if they would like to have it returned to them, or if they would just like you to throw it away. I think it would c…

  • I spoke with a friend of mine who is in law school and she told me that she was one of the "lucky" ones who got an internship that was paid work as well. She said it is very common for law students to "intern" for free at law offices duing the summe…
  • Ditto to all the above. If we can't show ANY human emotions at work, then they should just chuck all of us out the door and put robots in our places...whoa..I see a Terminator plot here... Well done Don, Well done.

  • Scott, NO MAKE-UP??!!! Man, I think that could be a health hazard in and of itself..I guess I would never make it in the healthcare industry..I have to have my mascara and lipstick..
  • I have an company electronic mail usuage policy if you would like to email me, I can send you a copy. It says pretty much the same thing. We refrain from allowing company computers to be used for not only religious topics, but political and solicita…
  • Hi Stephen, I read your post and saw that no one answered your question, so I thought I would. To "witness" to someone is a Christian terminology, much like being "saved" or getting "the call." Many times Christians use this terminology, assuming ev…
  • Julie, I commend you for your dedication to the faith and I know that it is sometimes hard to be a Christian in a secular work environement, because just as there are stigmas about other races and religions, there are presuppositions that people can…
