Why You Have A Minute?

She says she has around 5 open slots. She's been waiting as long as 4 months to get replacements for a couple temps she's lost. I've mentioned it to Krystal numerous times about her name not even being on the list showing open slots. She just gets an attitude and says that she has told Cam numerous times that she has to submit her requisitions and "she just doesn't get it." Each time I've gone back to Cam and reiterated what I was told stating that she had to fill out her requisitions and submit them through HR before we could fill the vacant slots. Cam claims that David Hyatt and Bobby have both submitted reqs and doesn't understand why we're still not showing openings. I was later informed that when it comes to an area losing a temporary that no requisitions are needed and it automatically generates the opening. She lost one of ours 4 months ago that she's still waiting on and the most recent she said was about a month ago and she's still

There is data to support the idea of a mother taking time off or a woman reducing her working hours to part-time will hurt her significantly in the career world. The reason for this sudden break in a woman’s career being motherhood. The most popular reason for working less hours is in a law firm is for a mother to take care of her child. Taking this additional time off decreases the chances of the mother receiving a partnership immensely. When doing this, the mother also risks the idea of herself being seen as “not serious about her career”, permanently damaging her chances of promotion at the private practice. However, mothers are no less likely than childless women to receive a

In Judith Stadtman Tuckers “The Least Worst Choice: Why Mothers Opt out of the Work Place” Judith Stadtman Tucker looks at why hard working, intelligent woman are choosing to leave their high end jobs to stay at home with their children. Judith Stadtman Tucker expresses her option that it is nearly impossible to work 40 hours a week, be available on your off hours as well as raise children. I fully agree with Judith Stadtman Tucker’s point of view that it is absurd to have to be at the mercy of your employer even in your off hours, nor less if you are attempting to create an emotional connection and successfully raise a child. It is no question that even in today’s modern society that it is assumed that woman are the best caregivers for young children. If you are put in a position where you have a child to raise, is it more appropriate to abandon your career or to emotionally abandon your child to a stranger or strangers and allow them to raise it? Judith Stadtman Tuckers argument against mothers having to choose between the joys of parenthood and the freedom of being able to work a career really speaks to me because it makes me consider what I want for my own future and what I would choose.

Many times people hired do not end up staying, leaving the organization understaffed and out the expense of the classes the employees received.

On the 27th of January, I had the pleasure of Job Shadowing Billie-Jo Deal at the ODOT (Oregon Department of Transportation) Region Five Office in La Grande. ODOT is responsible for the construction, improvement, maintenance, and safe operation of Oregon’s transportation system. Billie’s official job title is a Region Five Traffic Safety Coordinator and is the only one working as a Coordinator in all of Eastern Oregon. On a normal day, she is typically working on writing grants, coordinating safety and enforcement programs, or giving presentations to schools and workplaces all across Eastern Oregon. I specifically chose Billie for my Job Shadow not only because I already knew her, but I have always been curious about what her job is like. I

So the boss is more understanding and allows Rios to makeup time or allow her to leave early when needed to. Mele favors this case when he states, “Flexible work arrangements or sick-day policies help ease the work-life balancing act.” (Mele 243) The author expresses a liking to jobs that appear to be more understanding because it allows parents to work with a flexible schedule and care for their children, but also themselves as well. The two cases explained strengthen Mele view-point because it creates a connection with the audience and each case had different settings to work with so it helps convince how much parents

It’s extremely costly to hire new staff. The money saved by keeping the staff you currently have reflects in the company’s profits.

If player 1 doesn’t go to work and player 2 fires her, player 2 will have to search for another manager (possibly me, which is not an optimal strategy). If player 1 doesn’t go and player 2 keeps her, work will not be as productive, but no one else will get sick. If player 1 goes to work and player 2 keeps her, work will be productive, but the other staff may get sick. If player 1 goes to work and player 2 fires her, the other staff may get sick, and a valuable member of the crew

I made sure to get my 8 hours in every single day. I would also like to point out that the employees you think are loyal to you, really aren't. I'm not here to throw anyone under the bus, but I find it comical how you have a certain employee that really bad mouths the company as well as management to not only the rest of the office staff, but as well as drivers and owner operators - yet that is the person you show the most loyalty and gratitude towards. How do you place someone on a pedestal who has been going to job interviews behind your back and is looking to leave everything behind, not caring how it would affect the company? Tommy, you are clearly a successful and respected business owner and my intentions would NEVER be to tell you how to run your company or treat your staff, but I truly believe you don't know how each employee truly feels about management and I think it'd be extremely beneficial for you to dig a bit deeper, you should maybe look into it a bit more, because everything is not how it seems, especially when you aren't around. Meeting after meeting we sit there and preach how we work in a 'family environment', we really

To solve this problem, Foodcorp should develop its human resource strategies. If we look at the progressive companies such as Apple Inc and Google, we will see that they provide their employees the competitive compensation and attractive benefit plans. I believe this is because they know that the most valuable asset is their people. I also agree with them because I recognize that every organization depends on their people. “When the fit between people and organizations is poor, one or both suffer: individuals may feel neglected or oppressed, and organizations sputter because individuals withdraw their efforts or even work against organizational purpose. Conversely, a good fit benefits both: individuals find meaningful and satisfying work, and organizations get the talent and energy they need to succeed”(Bolman, & Deal, p.137). Therefore, many successful companies always seek for the best human resource strategies to keep their employees and make them loyal to the company. According to the memos, there

If the organization has the ability to offer it flex time, or part time hours should be an option for these workers to provide a better balance of personal verses professional.

Sarah, a native Spaniard, has been working at the same company as Melanie for the last five years. But Sarah has only worked in the Spain office, about ten minutes from where she grew up. Sarah shows up to work at her normal time of 10:00 in the morning. She is normally one of the first ones in the office, but today she finds Melanie has been sitting outside the office for the last two hours. Sarah is so frustrated by this. She plans on being one of the earlier ones in the office so she can go home at 2:00 in the afternoon for her siesta. She then plans on coming back at 4:00 to work until around 8:00 and then go home and eat dinner. Melanie is being such an overachiever. She is up way too early working to make it through the workday here. She told me that she wants to explore after work but everyone here works until 8:00 at the earliest! When is she going to explore Spain if everyone is
