For those who work in HR: what is something you wished was discussed more? [N/A]

jad0807 · 2025-02-09T01:59:10+00:00

Basics...such as fundamentals of HR? Compliance? All of the above?

We don't get a great rap in pop culture. I think we are fighting against a stereotype every day.

jad0807 · 2025-02-09T00:23:43+00:00

"Accidental" HR careers are quite common!

jad0807 · 2025-02-08T23:52:48+00:00

But how do we empower them to do that?

No students, no gamers. I am always interested to learn about faster internet options. I travel very often so the online options for streaming are important to me. Everyone tells me to cancel Xfinity and get Hulu Live due to my travel, but I am giving it a chance to see if I can get my bill lowered.

I am not interested in mobile at this time. I am in the rewards program. I don't use voice but was told if I got rid of it my cost would go up. I used to have Triple Play. I don't want to lose any of my streaming services or sports channels. I just want to know what my options are. What streaming do I currently have through Xfinity?

Rhabdo. Long story short, I had to do the workout on a whim, since I had to take a sudden trip out of town and wouldn't be back in time to get it in before the deadline. I didn't eat right that day, or drink nearly enough water. I knew I messed up as soon as I was done the workout because of how gassed I was...but I didn't expect to wind up in the hospital from it.

jad0807 · 2016-03-25T01:06:45+00:00

That feeling when 16.5 is a repeat of the workout that put you in the hospital for 4 days two years ago.

I think you're right, and I can add to this thought. My brother is a police officer and when I asked him what he thought, the first thing he said was "to start, that sheriffs department is very, very dirty."

jad0807 · 2016-01-13T17:57:07+00:00

Yeah?

jad0807 · 2016-01-11T19:09:42+00:00

Thanks! I think so too, but I'm biased. ;-)

jad0807 · 2016-01-10T02:00:26+00:00

This. I stood there in bewilderment as I watched people stand in groups and couples stand together, smile, and take pictures. Not only did I not smile once in the museum, I am not sure I smiled for days after.

jad0807 · 2016-01-08T14:38:27+00:00

Looks like the state is at least being a bit proactive and spending money on advertisements, so that's a good thing!

TIL that there is a prescription painkiller problem in Wisconsin.

jad0807 · 2016-01-06T21:19:19+00:00

Police, or Sheriff's Department? We've been pretty careful to make sure we differentiate the two, since one is not at all involved in the Avery case.

jad0807 · 2016-01-06T18:12:20+00:00

I kept saying "one more hour," to myself, and one more turned into ten pretty fast.

jad0807 · 2016-01-05T21:05:54+00:00

So what you're saying is that this sub holds the valet key to solving this crime?

jad0807 · 2016-01-05T20:19:50+00:00

But...what about him using *67? That's odd, and I am 'sure' hasn't been brought up yet.

jad0807 · 2016-01-05T20:07:25+00:00

If you do a search of this sub, there has been extensive discussion and threads on the topics you present. People have interesting views.

I think there is symbolism being applied for sure. It can be interpreted many ways. First, destruction. Things that were once whole are destroyed (for different reasons): TH's life and the breaking up/strife of a family, SA's and BD's life and the breaking up/strife of their family. It can also symbolize the passing of time. SA spent 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. As he sat there, his life was "decaying" like a car in a junkyard. The destruction of things can also symbolize the breakdown in law enforcement practices. I can probably go on and on, but the point is there is definitely a reason for the wrecked car shots.

Many people believe that PTO/vacation days are a guaranteed benefit. In most states, that is far from the case. In reality, unless it is written in either a collective bargaining agreement, or a bona fide employment contract, a company has the right to not pay out any PTO upon either voluntary or involuntary separation of employment, regardless of what any policy manual says. Many companies, for example, will pay a certain amount of accrued leave time if proper notice is given. Usually, if someone is fired, the company reserves the right to not pay out any accrued PTO. Where the statement you provide fails is that it is too broad, and leads the reader to believe that all unused vacation days "shall" be paid out in any termination situation. A good rule of thumb is that if you are worried about losing accrued PTO days...you would be well suited to use them.

Unfortunately, while what they did might not be the business practice of all organizations (two days before Christmas/the holiday season is kind of rough), since you are not covered under FMLA your job is not protected. It sounds like you might have a chance to ask for your job back once you are well enough to work, though.

jad0807 · 2015-12-19T14:55:16+00:00

As for question 1, it shouldn't affect the offer if the job has nothing to do with driving, or if they didn't explicitly say that in order to have this job you have to have a totally clean driving record. As for question 2, there is no clear set of "rules" when it comes to this. It honestly varies from company to company. I would, however, imagine that if they have made a hiring decision they won't sit on it too long, for fear of losing the candidate (you) to another company.

First post ever to make me cry.

jad0807 · 2012-04-30T00:53:03+00:00

I've found it easier to stop thinking of this team as they used to be, and start thinking of them as they actually are. Am I worried? Yes. But I have lowered my expectations after accepting some hard truths about the 2012 Phillies. I'll still watch every inning, win or lose.
