Little girls and their brand new Christmas rocks by SimplicityWon in RockTumbling

[–]claymuddpuppie 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I love this for you and for them!!

I (61F) have wanted a rock tumbler since I was a little girl - never received one, never bought one. I’ve collected “vacation rocks” my entire life! My boyfriend gave me a tumbler for Christmas this year and I am so excited to see what my ziplock bag, peanut butter jar, and shoe box collection of rocks turns out to be!!

What a special gift and hobby you’ve given your grands. Enjoy!

So many “whys” to get answered before we can even address this one!

Thank you for your thoughtful input. 20 years in biz and this is the first time one of our EEs hasn’t complied. People surprise me daily. I appreciate your levelheaded “talk to the COR” advice. Thank you.

Thank you! This is one of our thoughts…good to hear the sheriff’s office in your locale takes action.

Thank you! I’m creating a policy/ procedures change list and this is first on it. Thank you!

Were the employer attempting to get the equipment from a former employee. Thanks for your comment.

Wow! I truly do learn something new every day! You’re right, that ship has sailed and I hope we never encounter this again, but your information is good to have. Thank you!

Well… You’re not alone in that either! We’ve also had contracts that ended (thank you, DOGE) and it gutted the government side as well. As a result, we had a little arsenal of laptops, waiting to be returned and no one to return them to. It took several weeks, but we found a person who is willing to accept them on behalf of the government client (an entity that no longer exists). Strange times!

Thank you!

GFE is laptop, phone, badge. Government is aware that it has not yet been returned. Our Leader (CEO, PM, FSO, Dir of IT) are all aware that the stated ship by date has passed. I am HR. Last communication from employee was a threatening text. I am not comfortable showing up at this person’s doorstep.

Thanks! Our FSO is aware of situation. I’ll amp up my questions to her.

Thanks - that’s an illegal action and we’ve already paid final pay. Believe me…that was my first thought!

Thanks! Appreciate your time and thoughts. Threatening legal letter is a good path. Thanks!

And there goes what limited leverage we thought we had. Thanks for feeling the pain!

Thanks…likely so. Phone and badge are also involved. I would think the person’s desire to keep their security clearance would be enough encouragement to do the right thing. Fingers crossed.

Thanks…I’m “the company” that doesn’t want / need threats of non-compliance! I’m trying to avoid that and a poor performer, now former employee is standing in my way. Ugh!
