Asbestos, in a bakery. Yum. Nothing beats an Oreo, except maybe an Oreo with asbestos fibers in it....

A dream employee might spend a little more time working than I do.
2008-09-15 21:09:00 It's both tougher and easier to find a job nowadays. Tougher because of the economic climate and because of the increased competition --but easier because the Internet has opened up the job search method to let you search for dozens, or hundreds, of jobs, anywhere, and to do so quickly and without lots of tedious resume-mailing, traveling to other states, or getting your fingers stained by ink from classified ads.So sites like StarTribune.com, which features Minneapolis jobs that are searchable and easy to navigate do a huge favor for you -- on both levels. They make it easier to locate a job, or a better job, and make it easier, therefore, to navigate through tough economic times.I'm happy in my job; but if I wasn't, I'd head over to their site, because it features not only a ton (not literally) of jobs, but it also has sections for career advice and other helpful information-- making it more than just a classified ads site. You can even post your resume there, if you want, ...

Maintaining Employee Discipline and Performance
2008-05-29 14:33:00 Employee discipline is always a necessity for any growing business. Poor disciplined employees are poor to learn, poor to tune and poor to perform. The worst thing is that one indiscipline employee can make your workforce undisciplined, can destroy the quality of service/product, can harm the reputation of the company and can cost you high. Here are some tips for maintaining employee discipline in a company.Set achievable goals and standards. Warn the employee when ever his/her performance is not up to the standards/targets. Ask employees ?why they fail?; solve the problem - if it can be solved. Make necessary actions to prevent the reoccurrence of a problem. Educate employee(s) why the problem is a problem and what he/she get if he repeat/continue with the problem. It is good to ask employees to give solutions for a problem; and implement the solution through them. This makes them responsible. Make sure that your comments and directions hurt employee?s personal feelings, we can mak...

Become an Invaluable Employee by Adopting a Solution Oriented Mind Set
2008-05-28 20:57:00 Invaluable and desired employees are a very rare resource. I believe a solution oriented mind set is a prerequisite to becoming oneAnyone should be able to quickly recognize the following scenario either as a manager or as an employee: Deadlines are closing, uncertainties are abundant and a certain employee, you had handed down an assignment a week ago to, keeps coming back with questions that make you wish you had done it yourself and saved that precious time.Another relevant scenario is the perfectionist employee trying to find a perfect solution to a practical problem unable to accept time and money constraints.Usually these scenarios end in conflict, shouts and frustrations for both sides. Expectations where no met for neither of them. The employee had expected guidance and tutoring and the manager expected results.I feel many employees don?t fully understand how powerful a solution oriented mind set can be or how much frustration an unsecure or perfectionist employee might gene...
