  • Here's one:  While working the night shift, make numerous obscene and threatening phone calls to a woman who finally installs caller ID. When she calls the number that has been harassing her, it is a number that rings into the CEO's office after ho…
  • Whoa, there!   I am not a user and I am not a corporate HR practioner so I don't have a drug testing vendor to consult at this time.  I was asking because a client suspects a problem with one of his drivers.  I already advised the client that it mig…
  • LadyAnn - the loneliness you describe is, I think, one of the reasons a lot of people "burnout" in HR after 4-5 years.  Personally, I have never been one to socialize with people I work with or to make personal friends with co-workers.  I have found…

  • I'm coming in kind of late to this discussion but, I didn't see that anyone mentioned the fact that if you DO choose to have JDs, they must include the physical requirements of the job.  In other words, make sure they are ADA compliant.
  • Who is she telling that she was "forced to quit"?  It sounds to me like she is, possibly, trying to get unemployment but may have been denied because she voluntarily quit.  Now, she is trying to make the case that the workplace was intolerable becau…
  • Right on, LivindonSouth !   First, just remove the note from the machine.  Second, call the vending company to come out and make sure the machine is in good working order.  Third, if there is no mechanical problem, tell the vending company they had …
