  • uh-oh Melanie.....I am reading the latest posts from HOME because I am SICK and MISSED WORK TODAY!!! #-o I have the horrid cold that has been going around the office. I've been sneezing so much that my abdominal muscles are cramping and my poor cat…
  • Thanks everybody, I appreciate your insights. x:D Cinderella
  • UGH! Will it ever end? xx( We've also had companies send us invoices for "national directory listings" (phone book type ads) that we've never placed. We have a company that calls at least once a month saying their "affliated" with Xerox :~~ and …

  • Christy, Understood. I hope my post wasn't offensive (now I'm sitting here trying to think of what I wrote!!!). Cinderella
  • Normally I would avoid videos as well, but we found one that is very good and shows the grey areas (ie: a woman talking about her weekend activities--no NOT like locker room talk, but not work appropriate either--while on a personal call...she think…
  • We borrow a video from our state's dept of labor. It is (surprisingly) very good-- shows many different examples of sexual harassment and talks about "grey areas" and "extremely casual work environments" etc. You might want to even peruse some new…
  • We say "work appropriate costume" which basically means no tank top/spaghetti strap/tube top type things and shorts/skirts/etc can be (at the shortest) 3 inches above the knee. We haven't had any problems so far (at least that I know of!). Cinderel…
  • Rockie: I thought Munchaussen's Syndrome was where a mother intentionally injures/makes their child sick in order to get attention? Or is that Munchaussen's Syndrom by Proxy and "just Munchaussen's" is hurting yourself? Cinderella
  • Thanks Kristin! You bring up a valid point for businesses operating around the clock. Cinderella
  • This is some great info everyone, thanks so much. I would like to include it in my report for my boss. If you would be so kind, please tell me 1) How many ee's you have 2) Brand name of software, camera and printer you use and where you purchased …
  • I'm definetly liking the idea of charging for lost badges. Thanks everyone for your input!!! Anyone else out there care to jump in? I need all the help I can get 8-} Thanks!
  • Ah yes, SSN's would be a bad idea! x:D We are looking to make the badges in-house by purchasing software and the printer plus other supplies. There's so many companies out there though it's just mind boggling decided which one to go with. Anyone…
  • I just want to say that this is an EXCELLENT question that should be discussed at every company's safety meeting. We have a discreetly located "panic button" for our receptionist that sounds an alarm in the department closest to her (but cannot be …
  • I agree with the above posts. We try to keep fall decorations "harvesty" instead of "halloweeny". There is a religion I know of that views celebrating holidays (ANY holiday--including birthdays) the same way Christians veiw idol worship (think gol…
  • We ask (on a form separate from the application and that is voluntary of course)their race, sex, if they are disabled, a Vietnam Veteran, a veteran from an era other than Vietnam or a disabled veteran from an era other than Vietnam. I think that's …
  • >but why wait for them to contact you? Why open the door for >them to contact you concerning the report and then have them question >you about your hiring decision? It is none of their business. Also, >why not treat all applicants e…
  • I agree, that's why I said if your decision is based on the report to send them a copy and give them the option to reply to the letter and findings of the report.
  • I disagree. If the report had nothing to do with the decision why send a copy to them? Just send a letter stating you have chosen another applicant. If you like you can tell them why but it's not required. If they request a copy of the report, t…
  • I'm a non-management-subordinate in my department. If my boss was acting that way I would be uncomfortable. I went through the posts and I think it's interesting how franfield's posts have changed down the line. IMHO I think saying "just get over…
  • So what should I do? I'm the subordinate... Any advice?
  • We have a safety committee. It includes one exempt and one non exempt from each department. HR Manager is chair, someone usually volunteers for minute keeping. Take monthly tours around the facility to make sure all areas are being tended to. We…
  • Hardy har har! Hey now though, not all of us 20-somethings dress like that x;-) However, I personally feel that if I can see a woman's "T back" when she bends over to file something then either her low riders are a little toooooo low or her shirt i…
  • I didn't suggest revamping the entire handbook, just that section. Cinderella
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-10-02 AT 01:21PM (CST)[/font][p]We state in our handbook (as well as a sign posted in breakroom) that anything revealing, extreme or suggestive is not appropriate in any department. We also say no ta…
  • Well, why WAS he turned down? Just curious. We tell people we have decided to go with other, more qualified applicants. We can't give them info about the "other qualified applicant" because that would be against the law (giving out an applicant o…
  • I agree with the others, all should be treated the same per the handbook. Just an aside...chewing tobacco can be dangerous to other employees: if someone spits out their chew/saliva mixture on, say, lenolium, someone could slip and fall and bust th…
  • We don't give gifts AND a party, we just have a party. Cinderella
  • We always have a party, but we book a year in advance....places get full fast around here. I like the dinner gift certificate idea though. I mean, everyone has to eat, right? Even if they don't like the place they can go get dessert or drinks or …
