Hey, I'd rather drop a stapler on my Croc-d foot than when wearing my flip flops--ha! We don't allow open toed shoes on our shop floor or in the warehouse for safety reasons, so we put in our dress code policy that they aren't allowed in the company…

Hey, get the smokers to switch to nicotine gum--no extra breaks are necessary.
-
Hey, don't overreact. These people are adults, and the company did say BYOB and did not ban liquor from the event (which many companies are doing to prevent problems that you described). Colleagues will probably intercede and let the employee know h…

Hey, my boss looks and acts like Lou Grant from the Mary Tyler Moore Show down to yelling and the bottle of whiskey in the bottom drawer. However, like Charlie, he is mostly an absentee boss in the winter, so it's tolerable.

Hey, I really wasn't aware this word was an ethnic slur against gypsys. Maybe the person wasn't aware either, so I wouldn't immediately tag the person as discriminatory.

Hey, I bet there are some skilled techs and engineers on the Department of Defense's transition employment site for veterans. Go to http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/ot/

Hey, we don't have a written policy, but we do ask that employees mark personal tools and equipment with their name and provide us with digital photographs. We also ask for serial numbers of expensive electornic/mechanical items for our database of …

Hey, the owner of our company never matches an offer from another employer to keep an employee. He feels if an employee is looking for another job--and found one--he or she basically isn't happy here. He feels that if an employee feels underpaid, …

Take the high road. Don't leave a voice mail or certainly not an e-mail. You may want to use your present company for a reference in the future. I agree with the others; ask the new company for more time and wait it out.

Tell the offenders that after a second "mistake," they will can work only during regular working hours when the alarm is off or when other employees are present to let them in and out, and they will not be allowed to work nontraditional hours. Take …

Hey, it's hot here, too! NIOSH has some helpful info and links at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/heatstress/

Hey Johnny B, we need that guy over here! Got a job description for a workplace "enforcer"?
-
Hey, would you let your employees go to other workers' desks and chat away? Probably not. So why let them instant message? HR or IT should send out a general e-mail stating that instant messaging is not allowed on company computers and on company …

Hey, just ask her what she is going to say to everyone if she sets off the sprinkler system.
-
Get real, Max. Fire drills, now more often referred to as evacuation drills, are nothing to take so lightly. Or else you are overthinking the whole thing. I agree with Barbie. Throw a dart at the last week of June on the calendar and have the dril…

Hey. Get out those "nanny-cams"
-
Hey, let's adopt the Japanese compensation system where the highest exec can only make 7 times what the lowest worker makes. Certainly would make my job easier!
-
Hey, would an audio tape from a potential salesperson create the same issues with regard to discrimination?
-
It doesn't matter what's in the bill as much as a question of will it be enforced, or even will it be enforceable?
-
We had that problem here--with a woman. Our vice president, an ex-military officer, brought over a big mason jar. He told her, good-naturedly rather than confrontationally, that every time someone heard her swear, she had to put a quarter into the…

Anyone know what the players' union has had to say about this special treatment?
-
Hey, if he's only attempting to kiss females, wouldn't that be discriminatory?
-
Nah, bet everyone involved signed releases and are amplifying their behavior for the camera.
-
Barbie has a valid point. If I had an applicant for a nonexempt job who obviously has a long or difficult commute, I would work our tardiness policy into the conversation during the interview so they could see that excessive lateness could be a prob…

As Tom Hanks said in A League of Their Own, "There ain't no crying in baseball" ... and there ain't no crying in the workplace!
-
I wouldn't ban the buttons or threaten discipline for wearing them or you could be in violation of the National Labor Relations Act.
-
Do you have any reason to believe he isn't giving you a story to cover substance abuse? Is this why he says he has stopped going to the doctor?
-
I'm not sure if a resume is actually a "legal document," but if it goes into a permanent file, your jottings will become part of the record.
-
While such a Clemensian arrangement may be good for both the "star" employee and the company, it usually creates ill will and resentment among the other "workers." Of course, these Steinbrenner "employees" all have agents, contracts, as well as an…

It's almost graduation time, so you should have a new crop of newbie IT people to chose from. Have you contacted local colleges and tech schools? As for experienced people, post jobs on tech-specific or industry-specific websites, not the general o…
