Where is jgcable??

[Shawn Lutz]

for me take away my guys internet connection or filter them would only cause bad attitudes and lower moral among the troops. I'm from a freedom type of management style....if works is done and done well...you're free to do whatever you want as long as its legal I've been in a form of management since 89 or so an dI've learned the Hitler approach is not effective...

Easy Tiger.

I'm not on your payroll. My employer is the faceless type, an entity believed to exist but physical proof of life is limited to the signature on my paycheck.

I don't manage any facilities of that kind. I work with iron, not bones. Of the iron variety, I manage five, with one hundred thirteen employees. Are you head hunting me with these questions? How's the night life in Bossier City?

[Shotgun]

Busy today, Mr Germany?

:ROTF: :ROTF:

So anyway, as to the thread's original topic, we'll see you around when we see you, John. Your seat will be here, when you get a chance to stop by...

[mm2002]

I sure hope you guys aren't getting into this pissing match on company time!

"Are you head hunting me with these questions? How's the night life in Bossier City?"

Only if you have a Master's Degree. By the way, the night life is just dandy.

..I have cut out a good deal of intrnet use at work and I don't use it everyday but it is good for a short escape. We have a policy and they do track sites and time usage.The company had guys let go that were abusing internet use.
I limit my time to 15-20 minutes during breaks and thats it. Usually news, eBay, sometimes traffic or check email. Even though its my time..I have to recognize and observe the fact its their system.

and I agree... having an iron grip can backfire.. sometimes you have to let people get refreshed and relinquish the rules to a reward.. an extra 5-10 minutes on a break on occasion... IF they're doing well production wise and not letting mistakes happen...

Prior to the Internet, how did management prevent bad attitudes and low moral? By the way, the comment "Hitler approach" is offensive.

Sorry if I offended with he Hitler comment... insert other dictator or prison guard if that makes you happier.....I'm offend by your holier than thou tone in every post in this thread...

Before the internet you had water cooler talk, newspapers, books, walkmans, etc and I would let people do that as well.

Perhaps people in your industry would one day wake up to realized that its not 1964 anymore their "employees" would have better customer service/peoplel skills...just a thought.

I get to surf whenever I want. I'm pretty much self-employed and work mainly from home.

[SeventhSon]

I work from home too. I can surf porn and rub one out if I felt like it.

btw, john, you ought to change all your passwords. they probably captured those.

This from the guy who hijacked this thread to call John a thief? By show of hands, who here (besides SEEGERMANY) gives a shit how SEEGERMANY manages his business?

[GWARGHOUL]

I sure don't. I wouldn't work for him.
Nor would my mother ( a very experienced physical therapist)

Just my 38 cents..

[hammer84]

That's a drag.

Now that I think about it, I would be hard-pressed to explain all of my Net usage if called upon.

No thanks. I'll pass on the piss poor attempt at an apology. Second, I'll put my employees up against anyone in their field for service and people skills. Hell, for that matter, I'll put them up against anyone outside of the therapy field.

So, keep your "thoughts" to yourself because as far as my business, it's employees, it's success, or my "tone," you're yapping out your ass.

If your mother conducts business in any way like you have at the JCF, I wouldn't hire her.
