  3. Already taken care of. As mentioned, just report the offense and no need to make topics on it.

    Damn those floors reaching up and smacking things again.

  6. I used to run a security company; I am aware of the difficulties. Having over 200 officers in the field spread out across the state that needed to clock in/out we had to be inventive until we were able to implement an onsite clock method using smart phones that were Geo locked both for their convenience and provide double duty for onsite reporting, tag reading, etc. and bio metrics used, just a pin number to log in. I have seen the issue with people covering for each other in other companies, especially managers, its a thing but this can be overcome as well with good training, incentives and other methods. I understand the world is changing [culturally] and steps need to be made to adjust. I get it. But you left out my bigger point when you quoted me. Granted I was being snotty when I posted. We pushed hard to give our employees the training they required and needed. We maintained an open and transparent workplace. The trust we openly gave them worked in our favor and in return they did the same. Ya ya, there were still those that were bad apples but that is always going to be a thing regardless of your efforts. Yes, I understand the larger the company the bigger the issues, and things have to be scaled, adjusted and all that, but to me this is still an unnecessary way of doing it. Do I have a better idea? Honestly, no. I am a tried-and-true kind of person. Good leadership equates to good following and eliminates the need to make certain choices that inherently bring up or create the question of mistrust. That is the way I operate and has always worked. Even with all that said, this is McDonalds, not 3M or NY Stock exchange. Even though I disagree with it, I don't work there and likely won't ever; I have said this many times (not here) that they can run their company as they see fit. If you apply and work there, you agree to their terms of employment even with future changes on the employer part. If the terms change you disagree with, there are other opportunities of employment, that is one of the beauties of capitalism. My opinion has no bearing or the understanding of reasoning behind their decision to implement this. A good example, I have 2 children old enough to work, the location they chose to work at has an application software and a timekeeping method that is asinine and so over complicated the person that designed the software really did a good job of over hyping and fooling the job place. I can't go into detail so not to reveal ppi accidentally but omw its horrendous. But again, it is their company, as much despise it, nothing I could say will help them improve it. My post was just my initial reaction to the article. I agree with this, it's illogical. And quite the stretch that the stretch armstrong toy couldn't reach it.
  7. Guess we shall how long this will last or how well it ages? (that is until apple can make another claim innovation of course )
  8. Thank you for the offer but there are no plans to implement an automated process for issuing badges.
  9. (a little late) I find this rather amusing, me when I was at peak fitness I weighed 240lbs could I could not use one of these chairs. fAter I got out of the service I have averaged 260-280lbs so I guess I will never be able a suitable customer for a Secret labs chair.

    Greetings! I was just curious, What's the point…

    There are many things they teach us in the service that civilian side doesn't quite understand the core meaning of, one example being cadence. Using rhythm teaches cohesiveness. Having the group move in unison also provides morale, motivation (as @Skiiwee29 mentioned) and other similar things. e: and its just plain fun.

    Creates a rhythm when performing marches, drills and other formation related things. Helps keep the group in step. One of my favorites.
  12. Time clock keeping is a simple thing, sure let's keep making it more complicated than needed. We use a simple method, show up at your desk, sign in and clock in. No biometrics needed, no complication. I'm against this for several reasons. But sure now with McDonalds could just stick with using their id card reader which to my understanding never had an issue unless the employee lost their card then it would be something I tell my employees in my past job. Looks like a you problem, not a me problem. Leave it to certain workplaces to not push for, well I don't know maybe some responsibility or accountability? Darn I forgot those are known as bad words these days. gosh darn, guess I need to leave now.
  13. To all with worries about the spout lid, easy fix and this works with any water bottle. Mix 1oz of white vinegar and 2oz of warm water. Close and shake for about 30 seconds. Rinse and done. Do this about once a month or when you have a smell. LMG can replace the o-ring with an anti-bacterial o-ring but it will only do so much to prevent any growth and you will still get the same result but it will take longer so you will still need to clean it . E: I ought to mention, if you have any scaling issues this also works to remove that. White vinegar is good stuff.
  14. Possible its bricked, BUT yo may want to try to clear cmos and see if that gets it working again.
