Do I have a 1v1 with boss? I work for a small company no HR. We deal with safety and health. Regulations are strict. Just hired a new person whos not following protocol for his or other's safety. The "core 4" (includes me) run the flow of the building. Our boss has told 2 of us not to train him, and the 3rd has been training him but getting nowhere. The trainer has voiced his concerns to the employer with no change. Trainer and other 2 feel isolated. My worries have been ignored too so far.

Are your concerns documented? If so, let the operation fail. The more we keep up the show- the more higher ups think they can pile on and get by

Follow up on an email to your boss. Reiterate your concerns, and what’s going on. Then say something like “As per our last conversation you advised us not to train; however ….”
Chances are they wont respond to the email but you print it out for your records. Now let the operation fail and there’s your proof that you tried to do the right thing

Yall three need to both have a meeting with your boss to collectively voice the unity in concerns. Safety ain’t no joke. Why is only 1 person training this new hire? I rotate new hires through several employees to be trained, everyone has their own and usually excellent insight! Whatever not the point … point is if nothing is done I wouldn’t be working with that person if it’s jeopardizing my safety and causing OSHA violations and potential liability for yourself and the company.

I’d also document your reports to boss and recap emails if you have in person meeting.

We are small-small. 13 employees total. Only one other person can train the new hire and she outright refuses due to his not following directions, and the owner telling her to back off

If the concern is about safety I disagree with those that said let it fail… if it’s putting others at risk it needs addressed NOW. Even if that means you need to report to OSHA or some other safety committee.

Why does your boss tell you not to train him? This is bizarre.

You and the other Core Four need to document issues, elevate them in email to your boss, and create a paper trail. If no response or change from the boss, report to OSHA. Safety is nothing to mess with and you all need to cover your asses against a lawsuit.

What do you do for winter shoes and commuting?

I walk a total ~20 mins in between train/bus stations and then getting from the stop in the loop to the office.

What do I do come wintertime for boots? Do you wear them while you're in the office? Or do you bring dress shoes with you to change in to? I wear a suit to work, so what boots would be good for winter but also look decent with a suit? This is my first winter in Chicago (a socal transplant)

I find myself questioning basic politeness I’ve learned since a child. Wondering what everyone else thinks. I work with an associate. She’s great. When she does good work or something I’ve asked her to do, I, of course, say “thank you!” I don’t really expect a response. She always replies “you’re welcome!” Or some variation. And for some reason, that’s awkward. Is it just me? I know in normal manners, that is the right response. Why does it sit funny?

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.

When the IRS (e.g., a RO/AO/Examiner) calls or writes a letter… How do you verify that it’s really the IRS and not a scam?

I don’t think my worry is unfounded due to the tremendous amount of tax/IRS scam out there but it would be nice to hear from some of y’all so that I’m not so worried about it…
