Toughest Employee Relations Issues
Discuss your job search, the interviewing process, creating the right resume, how the HR profession's changes require new job-search approaches and related topics.
I would like to hear about some of the tougher employee relations issues my colleagues have experienced and how they resolved them.
Thanks.

Good start, Ida!
How about: [Manager]: I want to fire XXXXXXXXX [Me]: Why? [Manager]: XXXXXXXXX is not a team player [Me]: What have you done so far to correct this? [Manager: I told him I was coming down here to get him fired. [Me]: (suppressing urge to say "oh s---) What documentation do you have? [Manager]: Haven't done any. The other ER issues are rolling out a new health care benefits plan and, of course, layoff. |

Oh yes! My favorite went something like this:
V-P: I want that @#$%* out of here right now. HR (pulling emp. file) Hmmm, no counseling statements and a glowing performance review done just two months ago. Here, let me paint a bullseye on your back so the attorneys will have something to shoot at. Now, how many million are you willing to part with to get rid of this @#$%* ? |

Union organizing campaigns (2) and the aftermath of same. During the campaign, some workers spread filth all over the men's room, messed with cars in the parking lot and even made telephone threats to both management and coworkers. At the annual holiday party (nice hotel)silverware and other items were stolen, hotel rooms vandalized including placing the potted plants from the hallway in the toilets in the rooms. Not hard to find the culprits since they were booked into those rooms. Company had to pay for the damages, of course.
Even worse than the campaign was trying to heal the wounds afterwards. The company prevailed but it took years to put it behind us. |
