Is your wayward employee on the cut list? Seems like he'd be an excellent candidate.

No :angry: The basis for the cuts were not attendance. It was based on current skill level, learning ability and 2007 review scores.

There are not real names, but to illustrate the point:

Dick (laid off)
Current Skills - 5
Learning ability - 3
2007 review - 4

Harry (missing)
Current Skills - 7.5
Learning ability - 8
2007 review - 6

It just goes to show that you really shouldn't characterize someone on paper.

Not Good ---------------- Your absentee slacker genius will only bring down morale of others that survive .

Looks like HR needs to update THEIR skills as far as evaluation design is concerned :D

The hardest work will be the new foundations which we farm out to an expert...but most important is that everything is level and the families are happy..this particular cemetery has alot of issues with runoff which undermines poorly built footers..My arms are bulging right now..I moved one 1200 pounder myself with a long crow bar back and forth on boards..for 2 feet..it was too far off the road to use the crane..which handled a 2200 pound monster with ease..if that fell on me..my ski season would be mad ghost..invisible..

Ever heard of "Use it or Lose it "-- Rolfmao

but unforunately at my age if you don't stay fit and limber -- You WON"T be skiing very much

I'm just kidding Warp..every season I tell myself that I'm going to stretch before skiing and I'm always too gung ho..for first chair..with golf it's the same way..no practice swings..

You must be counting down the days to when you entertain a dozen family members for Thanksgiving....

BTW with all that heavy lifting today if it were golf season i'd bet a few 300 yd drives might of been hit after that workout

Right now I'm watching CSI on the TV, the live web cams from Mount Snow on the laptop, and surfing AZ on the desktop. Multi-tasking at it's finist IMHO ;)
