I have to add that I see this type of behavior beginning in the pee-wee sports ranks. How many of you have attended your child's gaming event only to see parents berating each other, officials, coaches, and kids? How about kids whose parents hold t…

I remember collecting frog eggs from the cattle ponds in green and blue mason jars, building "forts" with sticks and rocks, getting whupped for climbing on my grandfather's coal pile, double-dog daring my brother and pack of cousins to swim across t…

Many years ago, at eighteen, I decided to register to vote as a non-partisan citizen. It would probably have been easier to just either vote the party of my parents or the party of my buddies. I've had poll workers just about cuss me out when I ask…

What human could happily survive the scrutiny, blame and villification brought on by this office? I have the utmost respect for anyone who could try - even when I don't agree with the political views of that individual. It's a hell of a job.

Don't have a Hummer - have a Buick and an old Ford. Park Avenue seems to be heavy enough for the cattle, but the Ford is lighter and we use it for 'possum, squirrel and rabbit. Surely y'all have heard of Roadkill Burgoo?

Although I probably shouldn't tell y'all this...Tennessee has a road-kill law in effect that allows a driver to retrieve whatever they hit with their car and take it home to eat without going through the fish and game wardens. Makes driving alot li…

Back to bumper stickers... I bought this one for my dad: "Wear your seatbelt - It makes it harder for the aliens to pull you out of your car!"

I sort of like it. Too many applicants don't even fill out the complete application or they have a resume mill spit out something that gives no indication of the applicant's true nature. I guess this guy would have motivation, imagination, and a…

Could a get a copy of those descriptions, too please?

It's been very slow, I didn't fidure it was my computer because everything else was working just fine. I thought it must be that everyone was logged on at the same time and the site was just too busy.

When I have firefighter ee's who aquire a trainer's certification, they are paid overtime for training they assist with or provide outside their normal shift. They are also paid OT for continuing education time required to maintain their instructor …

Good golly guys! When working municiple public safety I have had a regular 24 hour shift with no sleep breaks on many, many occasions. Working 24 on and 24 off. When I decided to go back to school, my employer allowed me work work 72-hour shifts so…

Employee pays 33% of premium - company pays 66% of premium for health insurance regardless of number of family members covered. Company 100% of premium for Life (4x ee annual salary), ADD, & LTD We don't offer dental or vision but have Flex Me…

If this is a temporary situation and the great employee is being treated for it, and said great employee funk does not impact client/customer relations, I would probably buy a few of my favorite scented candles and place them on the desks of the com…

The questions have been answered accurately and thoughtfully, but the way they were broached has me concerned about your company culture. I guess my company has a completely different outlook regarding potentially life-threatening illnesses such as…

In the past we have allowed light duty assignments that were paid at 100% of the ee's pre-inury wage. It worked pretty well for us as far as morale, turnover, etc., and ee's returned to regular duty within a reasonable amount of time commensurate w…

"IF you really wanted to get around it, you could say that he didn't request this when he started...." Don't even think about using this to get around it. Employees who convert to a religion or become more fervent in their religious beliefs are not…

I understand that watching 53 restrooms to see who is disposing of needles inappropriately is a huge task. However - simply supplying sharps containers for your facility, is a bit like buying your 13 year old child a keg of beer to have at home for…
-
You should not be required to provide sharps containers unless those items are related to your business or services you provide to your employees.

Depending on the requirements in your community, many dispatchers are specifically trained to provide instructions for CPR, AED use, and other emergency assistance. They must undergo a specialized course and are tested prior to becoming certified.…
-
It would be important to know how many employees you have at your site. Studies show that immediate application and use of an automated external defibrillator is much more helpful for sudden cardiac arrest survival than CPR alone. They are very ea…

I agree that the topic is worthy of discussion - that's why I chimed in with my opinion. Opinions aside, there are facts to be considered: The collection and storage of the vast amount of information available on individuals is staggering today an…

I seem to be hearing from a few folks that use of "public" information may be okay to consider when screening applicants. It is public information that I have been married and divorced. My divorce transcripts, custody hearings and appeal are all pu…

Reimbursement rates for ambulance services are indeed, very limited by medicare and medicaid (in some states)third party insurance usually does a fair job. Emergency calls are usually billed a flat rate for either basic life support or advanced life…

It's cool. I just hoped that ya'll didn't think I was taking her to task.

I did not say that she is responsible for allowing this behavior or situation to continue; nor did I say that she had done anything wrong. I stated what I thought she was feeling and trying to convey to us. I have been in similar circumstances -…

I assume that you may be concerned that being named as a person who has been on the receiving end of his stares, that you may be asked why you didn't complain about his behavior when it was directed at you. Now that you are in a position of managin…

Managers who term as a knee-jerk reaction when angry - usually with little to no documentation of previous performance problems....GRRR!
