The only pet I have here at work is a stuffed AFLAC duck. The reason, if I took it home my real pets would destroy it! I have 8 fish, 2 cats and two dogs at home. Luckily I have a huge house and a p/t maid.

You were right, we are located near an amusement park. The picnic was great. We had about 300 of our 500 ee show up. It was sunny and warm all day. We do all kinds of fun things, we usaully plan something once per month. Last month we ordered a…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-02-03 AT 01:16PM (CST)[/font][p]At my last job I think I walked into a black hole. The last fulltime ee in the position was terminated after messing up for two years and the position remained open fo…

I have one as well. I am not bragging but I supported myself through three of my four degrees by modeling for the Gap and Guess. I'm not the pretty boy I used to be though. Now you might run and hide.

I'm here this morning 2hrs before my co-workers arrive, after quickly checking my e-mail, the next thing I checked was the forum. I just want to see what is new. We are all a bunch of Forum junkies!

I am here at least once a day. It helps me feel vindicated that I am not the only out there. I work with 4 other HR people and two of them just don't get it either. I asked one the other day about her thoughts on the new FLSA changes. Her respon…

Right now I would like to be at home sitting next to my pool with a margarita in one hand and a good book in the other. I am so ready for the weekend, oh wait, this is our ee picnic weekend. I guess I will be waiting in long lines to get on rides …

That could work, thank you. I never thought of that.

The reason she shared this info with me is because we have become friends over the years and her many contacts have become contacts for myself.

I would certainly not give a bad reference, however, we have an unwritten policy of not giving out references, although I know it still goes on. I like this ee and think they would do an excellent job any where they went but should I follow the unw…

He definately does not look anything like I thought. I was picturing someone more like Grandpa Walton, sitiing on his front porch in a rocker and a laptop. Don, you know we have to bust on you!

Nice Don D, nice. I mean the motorcycle.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-27-03 AT 09:04AM (CST)[/font][p]I had an interesting sort of interview. I had an interview set up at 9:00am with Judy. 8:55am I get a call from reception saying that my interviewee has arrived. So …

My recent favorit was "the father of my third baby hasn't shown up yet so I wont be able to make it in". Or "I went to a show last night, I just got in and I'm still a little drunk, I need to stay at home and sleep it off".

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-13-03 AT 07:24AM (CST)[/font][p]It just goes to show you that not all employees are looking out for themselves. My story is not an honesty one, its about going above and beyond. When I started with …

I agree with Don that the handholding is more for the well educated staff. We only have 20 out 450 employees that are hourly. None of them are ever late in turning in their paperwork and they do not require 15 consultants to come in and explain ho…

This past monday I had two employees start. Neither one had two forms of ID for the I-9 form. I told them they had until today to get it to me or they would not be allowed to work. Neither one of them brought it in. Ughhhhh!I told them both that…

Funny you should mention a cat. We just had woman leave because her husband called to let her know the cat got outside. We asked why he didn't catch the cat and she said he did like the cat so she had to leave work to get it.

We had an employee who had missed several days. She was warned that if she missed one more day she would be terminated. She of coursed called in sick and told me that she was going out of work because she hurt her elbow at work. I got a call from…

When I was really young, I wanted to an actor/singer. Then the 80's came and becoming the lead singer of a hair band was no longer for me. Thats when I decided I wanted to work with people. I wanted to be a Psychologist. I even went so far as to g…

I went through two two hour interviews and was offered a job. I accepted the position and set a start date. Turns out the hiring VP was a friend of my current boss, a week before I was suppose to start she recinded the offer. That same afternoon …

I'm in my mid 30's. I've been in HR for about 10 years. I have learned a lot from this forum about HR and about myself (thanks Don D). I hope to retire by the time I'm 55. My only dream is that I don't run into a personal liability suit between …

Two years ago I was interviewing a 60 year old gentleman. I asked him "why should I hire you over the next applicant?" This was how I ended all interviews. He answered by saying he had a 20 something girlfriend and began to describe their sex lif…

Only if they get caught! Which I have yet to see.

Soccer mom strikes again. My office is just down the road from a residential setting. This morning on my way in to work, I got behind a Chevy Suburban. This giant vehicle was going 20MPH below the speed limit. Finally we both pulled off at our t…

My favorite is when their eye sight is so bad that they can not tell that there are two lanes and they drive down the middle. In a related story, I heard on the radio this morning that canada is passing a new law requiring the elderly to take a r…

The cling-ons have returned. Yesterday I posted a question about giving an ee a ride, today he thinks we are best friends. I'm sure in time this will fade as do all cling-on ees but it drives me crazy and you do not want to be mean. He wants to t…

I have to be honestly and say I have never watched the show. However I did see them both on the cover of people while at the grocery checkout and once after the evening news when entertainment tonight came on. From that 5 second blurb, I decided C…
