Not as strident as Shadowfax, but I agree. Why do employees HAVE to DD? My employer (county government) tried this because it would leave the payroll department "more time for other duties". Excuse me, they are the payroll department, that is the…

I am a county employee, and our county switched from an extremely liberal vacation/sick policy. The original policy provided for vacation accrual based on seniority (1 week after one year, two weeks after two years, up to five weeks after 20 years)…

Yes, but all my other "employment practices" in hard copy aren't and all "non-essential" items are not to be renewed. That means my Fair Labor Standards handbook, my "Michigan Workplace" memos, my HR Special Reports, my newsletters. Everything rec…

Don't worry about my being a referee. My county has been experiencing severe financial problems and have informed me that this forum will be part of my office budget cuts. I don't think I'll be missed much, somehow. Annie

Come on now, guys, the last 7 or 8 posts are the type of thing that discourages new posters, who might actually benefit from the expertise of this group of people. If Jeffrey does't have an HR Department he probably needs this forum more than most,…

Regardless of racial equality, good grooming, trendy fashions, etc., the bottom line on this issue is the fact that the company has in place a dress code and has had that dress code for a period of time. The "offenders" were aware of the requiremen…

OK, I seldom post here but I always read the posts and learn something, sometimes even what I'm looking for! I just couldn't pass this up. I am a woman of Native American/Irish descent. In the winter, when I'm not "tan" it is not so noticeable, b…

I agree with the majority of posters, it doesn't deserve the time of HR. I personally do not smoke and have had a hacking cough for nearly a month. I have been to see a doctor and have been assured that I am not truly sick, nor am I contagious. I…

It's easy. We don't have any. No parties, no picnics, no outings, no golf events, no turkey, hams, or WalMart gift cards. Well, we have cookies and punch for Christmas, but that's all. No Christmas bonus either, our paychecks say Happy Holidays …

All right, boys.... I also seldom post, but I can't help taking this opportunity. I spent the day doing small kindnesses. I directed an elderly couple to the local library and called ahead to make sure they got help. I gave quarters to a couple …

We have a pretty liberal vacation policy. One week after one year, two weeks after two years, three weeks after 10 years, four weeks after 15 years, five weeks after 20 years or more. We used to have one sick day a month and could accumulate up to…

My office also had an odor problem, but ours was adhesive used to glue tiles in a new addition. Three of my five employees ended up in the emergency room with "chemically induced asthma". My employer (county government) stalled, waiting for the en…

I should preface my answer by telling you I work for the Prosecuting Attorney in my small county, and have been here 25 years. One of our responsibilities is the preparation of child support orders and the pursuit of those who do not pay. In Michi…

I have to admit that when I started here, 24 years ago, I had neither experience nor a degree. I learned as I went, and managed to be re-assigned regularly by working hard, going way beyond what was expected, picking the brains of the best and brig…

Even more scary, I had a boss who had been in the service. He kept a dummy grenade in his desk drawer and used it as kind of a "worry stone". One night he forgot to put it away and left it sitting on the middle of his desk. The cleaning crew came …
