Hey, you have a dishwasher! Any openings in HR? Do want to ask if the "mommy" chores are in the receptionist's job description. Employees often feel they don't have to pick up, wipe off, etc. because we do have a cleaning crew come in every night.…
-
Hey, sounds good. But how are you going to monitor for "heated" discussions? I say, just hope for the best and tell managers to emphasize that political discussion cannot affect productivity or good relations among coworkers.
-
Hey, KMoore. You forgot putting Easter "peeps" into the microwave to see them balloon up--that wasted at least 15 minutes for everyone. We had someone who continually put items into the toaster oven in the kitchen; and then went back to her desk on…
-
Hey, those examples were great! I'll add: Spending the day on the ESPN website and running computerized sports betting polls for coworkers. Exempts going off-property for morning and afternoon breaks lasting about 45 minutes, going in an unused con…
-
Hey, perhaps HR recently has been told by this employee that he or she has been tardy for medical reasons and the change in the warning was part of accomodation. As a former supervisor, HR may not think you do have "a need to know." There may be m…

Hey, why was the potential client so concerned that he measured the radiation in your building? Are you near a nuclear plant, manufacturing plant, hospital, or other potential source of radiation or an area known for deposits of radon?
-
Hey, I wouldn't have used your current employee as an intermediary--really not fair to get him involved in this situation. Instead, I would send a registered letter asking for the return of the tools by a certain date and see what happens.
-
Hey, I agree with everyone. You can't take this mistake out on the employee. Definitely handle with care. Can you imagine what this situation would sound like after a few rounds through the employee grapevine?
-
Hey, you can ban smoking when workers are on company time, as in traveling to call on clients. However, you are going to have a hard time grandfathering this policy to the current employees. Did you read that the first lady of Iowa was caught smoki…
-
Hey, I received a resume from a graduate engineer that was obviously produced by some kind of consultant or resume service. It was on stiff marbelized paper, was oversized, and was folded in half. The printing was embossed in royal blue. It looked …

Hey, I don't understand. Who are you going to discipline? The husband? He's not an employee. The wife? Transgression of what employment policy would trigger the disciplinary procedure?
-
Hey, promote her to manager and then she will be exempt! Seriously, I agree with Smurf that you should initiate/update your hours of work/break policy. When communicating it, state that if the policy is not followed, you may have to institute a com…

Hey, see the thread "Applicant with Beer Can Necktie"
-
Hey, this guy is a fish out of water, so give him a break. He must have been hired for his strengths. I think any discussion on his being "too military" should be done in an informal setting, perhaps over pizza at lunch. And be sure to spin it in …
-
Hey, if you have to work with these people, I wouldn't go scolding them about gossiping or it's going to be a cold winter in your department. If they are doing something unethical or illegal, that's a different story.
-
Hey, I was joking around about the ADEA. However, the comment about the "older generation" seemed stereotypical, especially from someone in HR.
-
Hey, don't automatically think members of the "older generation" wouldn't understand the need for flex hours--they have work/family commitments, too. And I wouldn't knock the boss for being a Boomer--didn't you ever hear of the Age Discrimination i…

Hey Carter- Get those sound-deadening earphones!
-
Hey, wasn't there just a Tom Cruise movie where they punished people for things they might do? I'd be really careful in disciplining someone for a potential act; he may solve his financial woes by suing your company.
-
Hey, do all of you really send out rejection letters? My colleage graduate son is job hunting and he doesn't even get a rejection letter if he drives 2 hours and has an hour-long interview. The most he got was a post card; but hey, it was better tha…

Hey, must be OK to celebrate Thanksgiving. A card company just came out with a line of "business Thanksgiving cards"-- http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=779405&sourceType=2
-
Hey, change her schedule. You are accommodating her by allowing her to stay with the company after this move. She can work four 8-days; 4 "core hours" on Fridays, and then have flexibility in working the other 4 hours at her discretion on Friday…
-
Hey, it's on E on Sunday Nights after "The Girls Next Door," (which I only watch for the articles), but it's rerun all the time. Maybe the company needs a ruggedly handsome HR pro to come to the rescue and straighten out the mayhem among the manag…

Hey, that actor must have cost him hundreds! Not worth it--unless the trainer is Ben Stein!
-
Hey, here's some good info on telecommuting security http://its.ne.gov/cybersecurity/news/pdf/2007/July_2007_Newsletter_tips.pdf
-
Hey, the latest thing in service awards is -- adventures! Mini ones such as a day trip on an excursion boat, lunch and a theater matinee, pampering at a spa, or a full-day lesson in pottery or hang gliding for 5 years and, increasing in time and va…
-
Hey, for something important like sexual harassment training or benefits sign ups, I always use someone from outside the company if at all possible. I think the attendees pay more attention to someone they don't know. And if you tell them the prese…
-
Hey, just have in your attendance or holiday policy that employees who have a one-day absence for illness before or after a long weekend must produce a doctor's note or they will not receive the paid holiday. That should cure the flu fast.

Hey, look at this. Putting gift certificates or coupons on the back of the business cards! http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=766144&sourceType=2

Hey, just saw an article about GMAC Global Relocation saying the average cost of reloca ting an employees is between $52,000 and $71,000!
