- pthatcher, on 06/16/2009, -0/+36wow somehow they managed to get a list onto one page, hallelujah. I was expecting 10 pages
- dattaway, on 06/17/2009, -0/+15We have a new department manager. In the last year he seems to have broken everyone one of these rules. I gave notice yesterday and starting my new job this morning.
- Horns, on 06/17/2009, -0/+13LIKE A BOSS
- brokeswagen, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9morale booster= Hawaiian shirt Friday's
- sharedknowledge, on 06/16/2009, -1/+9what about a) know your workers' strengths and weakness and b) play hard or rest easy-- didn't see anything about the promotion of family/work/life balance. but pretty good article. i dugg it.
- SamSks, on 06/17/2009, -0/+71. Stand tall.
No wonder the tall jocks get into management. There all looking for the stand tall guy.
7. Shake hands firmly.
I hate the douche bags that try to crush your hand. The last guy that did this really pissed me off. I crushed his hand in return, bashed a knuckle into the back of his hand, and hyper extended his arm a bit in preparation to break his arm as I learned in a self defence class.
I didn't get the job. - smack1700, on 06/17/2009, -0/+6So make sure to always ask yourself, "Is this good... for the company?"
Oh and I almost forgot, this Friday is Hawaiian shirt Friday, so, you can go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt, and jeans.
(blank stares)
Yeeeeeeea - FoxFaction, on 06/17/2009, -0/+6I was expecting 101 pages. Or dalmatians, I forget.
- yocouchdigga, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5never let them make eye-contact and don't be afraid to use the whip.
- ghatid, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5Where do you work? How can you give notice the day you stop working?
- Toshibi, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5I recently left one ***** gas station to go to a better gas station. I gave notice on my last day at the old place. My reason, this gas station has better pay and benefits. The managers were pissed off, but I didn't give a *****. Most of the other employees, the people I actually worked with every day, were happy for me and wondered about using me as a foot in the door to the other place.
- Samurai77, on 06/17/2009, -0/+546. Identify your time-stealers. Everyone has little things that detract their attention and make them lose focus. Figure out what these are and work to eliminate them, if only for a few hours a day.
Like reading Digg at work? - BoneStamp, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5"It's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week."
- chinaman1212, on 06/17/2009, -1/+5a lot of these common sense rules can be used for anyone in there daily life.
- dattaway, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Giving short notice is much easier when business is slow! I gave notice after my background check cleared. Reason was behind on house payment and no food in the refrigerator. And my new employer is close to my house, so if I lose my car, I could walk. Everyone is supportive if its a good situation.
- SuperCell20x6, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4You say "I quit."
2-weeks notice isn't necessary, it's just a good courtesy.
Although dattaway probably won't be getting a great reference if that's what he did... - BoneStamp, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Only sleep with hot coworkers; sleep with an ugly one and you will lose everyone's respect.
- dattaway, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3Don't be afraid to leave. Give a good reason for it. Supervisors and workers are understanding. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices.
- tmschmal, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3The majority of all employees in the US are what are considered 'at will' employees. This means that either party can end the employment at any time. You don't expect the employer to give you 2 weeks notice, so why should they expect to receive a 2 weeks notice from the employee?
Particularly in IT type jobs, if an employee gives a 2 week notice, the employer will escort the employee out of the building immediately. It is too big of a risk to information security to have an employee around who you know is leaving. Unless you can afford to go 2 weeks w/o pay, it's in your best interest to give little to no notice of your departure, since you presumably have new employment already lined up.
Good managers understand this, and won't hold it against an otherwise good employee. - JustinNoland, on 06/17/2009, -0/+2Free your hate!
- asgardshill, on 06/17/2009, -0/+2Ping pong Fridays here. (The office champ won a big screen TV. And no, it wasn't me - got my ass kicked in the first round.).
- pingless420, on 06/17/2009, -0/+2and it's actually a good list too!
- erickdiaz42, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1So many mnagers need to read and follow this. It should be posted in every manager's office.
- ramilehti, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Generally managers don't use half of those.
Upper management even less. - nuketrap, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Increase mining efficiency with machinery so all labour can be done by 1 Australian migrant worker, who was referred by Zoidberg for a bucket of shrimp.
- AmishMack, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1104. Turn into a jet.
- Toshibi, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1103. Jump out the Window.
- zantos420, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1104. Buy a gun
- Pyros7, on 06/18/2009, -0/+1Only in corporate management does a "cheat sheet" contain a bullet list of 101 different things that stretches to 6 pages when printed.
On the other hand, it's not a bad list. Too bad I had a few managers that failed spectacularly at most of them. - BoneStamp, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Ya, I know. It's a good we've got somebody smart in there now. Here's hoping he can turn around the last 8 years of decline.
- BoneStamp, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1Beer keg Friday afternoons here.
- ghatid, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1@Toshibi Wow! Working at gas stations gives you benefits?!
- Toshibi, on 06/18/2009, -0/+1Some of them do. It's actually a dangerous and demanding job, believe it or not. I've clerked at a few stores. Drunks, Gangs, Fighting...and you're the only person on duty...it's your shift, it's your store for the 8 to 10 hours you're there. It's up to you to insure that your money is correct, that inventory shrink is minimal, your paper work is correct, and that the place is presentable. I've had to break up fights...throw out thieves or put them in jail...oh, and you don't get breaks. On top of that, there's the constant risk of some ***** running in and putting a gun to your head for the 200 dollars in your register. You have to maintain the pumps, stick the tanks, do inventory counts each shift, and restock everything in the coolers. It's funny really....a lot of the people that look down on us lowly clerks would probably buckle under a tenth of the pressure we deal with daily.
- Horns, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0102. ***** on Deborah's desk.
- BoneStamp, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1I think the stand tall advice is more for women, it makes their chest stick out further.
- mahill, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0I thought this was going to be a joke a la Dilbert...I was disappointed.
- darkstar635, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0105. in my mouth
- Metasquares, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1The last 10 are about leadership. Most of the others are about management. Not to say it's a bad list; think strategy vs. tactics.
- asgardshill, on 06/17/2009, -1/+1We'll get along just fine just as long as you accept every word that comes out of my mouth as coming from the mouth of God Himself.
/s - ennuisquared, on 06/17/2009, -1/+0@ 56. Our lack of budget causes me to pay a toll to get in my building.
102. Come in drunk and high, everyday. - inactive, on 06/17/2009, -2/+1How come my Doctor needs eight years of medical training and a PhD to practice but the President doesnt even need to prove himself by playing the beginning stage of "Sim City"?!
