My dad asked me the other day “Leon, when’s the last time you seen yer parole officer??” …oops!
I was cruisin down Burnside last night, and lo and behold I saw some fine thing wagon her booty just for me… Hey, baby!!!!
Turns out I’ve got friends as excited about words as I am! Yes!!! Check out their sweet project… looks like people need to check out my word definitions so they can be more prepared sometime.
I haven’t had the chance to fire anyone lately here at Charlie but I was talking to my mom about the worst ways to get fired. I looked it up on the internet and there are some horrible ways to get “let go,” even I wouldn’t terminate people like this!
It can be extremely taxing to ruin people’s day face to face, so create a little breathing room.
Besides e-mail, companies have been known to fire people by FedEx, registered letter, text message, voice mail and conference call. (I would be scared of the Fed Ex guy for months afterward!)
Consider the cattle call. It can build team spirit.
One company herded employees into an auditorium and gave them one of two color-coded information packets. Those with the same color packets sat together. The two groups were then escorted out of the auditorium through different exits. One led back to the office, which meant that group of employees could stay. The other led to the street, which meant the workers should file for unemployment.
There is no such thing as “too low.” So don’t be afraid to test bottom. One option is to let employees figure things out for themselves.
One company deliberately left a new organizational chart on the photocopy machines. Some employees were left off entirely, and others were moved to new positions. (I would be putting in my notice if I didn’t see my name on the new list.)
Remember, no one is ever too old to play musical chairs.
Some companies in the middle of a merger have asked all employees to resign and reapply for jobs. The goal: to disengage from the old and reinvent the organizational structure – with fewer employees. (I’ve heard of this before.)
It can be a nice touch when you offer the newly fired a ride home.
It actually can be, unless you’ve organized the corporate equivalent of a funeral procession. One company had cabs lined up around the block before alerting employees on the layoff list of their new jobless status. (I hope they paid the cabs.)
You know what they say: it’s always the quiet ones. So make sure the meek don’t go ballistic.
During a layoff, it’s perfectly reasonable for a company to want to protect its computer files, other property and the remaining employees. But bringing in armed guards, as some companies have done, can be completely dehumanizing. An inconspicuously placed plainclothes security person is far preferable. (Can you imagine running into the security person in the lunch room? How do they explain what they are doing there?)
I hope no one comes across any of these situations soon but keep your eyes open if you recieve a Fed Ex when you weren’t expecting one!
I love the summer concert season and even though the economy is hurting there are still some great shows coming up. A few tours have already been through town like Crue Fest 2 was just yesterday. It was a sweet show but it was over 100 degrees yesterday so besides the heat it was a fun concert and I love that Motley Crue opened with “Dr. Feelgood.” Earth, Wind and Fire and Chicago were just at the Rose Garden and they still know how to rock! Yeah, you might laugh at me for going to that show but Earth, Wind and Fire can sing, dance and party with the best. The new lead singer for Chicago sounded just like the original too. So that’s been some of the shows that have already come but there’s tons more coming up! Here are a few to check out that I will definitley be going to:
En Vogue at Spirit Mountain Casino on August 7th. (Any excuse to go to the casino is good enough for me!)
The Fray at McMenamin’s Edgefield on August 4th. (What can I say, I’m a softy for the slow song hits!)
Aerosmith and ZZ Top at The White River Amphitheatre on August 17th. (I am especially stoked about this show! I’ve got lawn seats.)
Nickelback, Saving Abel, Papa Roach and Hinder will be at The Amphitheater at Clark County on August 28th. (Lawn seats for this show too.)
These concerts are just to name a few. There are some other great shows at Maryhill Winery coming up in August that are worth checking out too. Oh and I almost forgot to tell you that if you sign up for Live Nation’s e-mail’s they’ll send you notices about when they do half price tickets! They’ve been doing it a lot lately and it saves you some serious bucks. Check ya later!
I love Paula’s Home Cooking. Enjoy her video.
