    Making full time - part time

    Hi. I would really appreciate any advice on this. I have surfed around the internet and can't find a definitive answer. Basically we are a very small company and we have a full time admin employee who's been working with us for about 6 years, who we want to make part time. Why? The reasons are...

    VOIP or landline

    Going back to the OP question, Landline or VoIP? Having been involved at the sharp end selling and supporting all manner of I.T. and telecomms systems for the past 25 years, my advice would be if you really need hassle free telecomms and 99.99% reliability then go for a landline solution and not...

    What would you do? Director, petty theft

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. Like most things in business, things are usually more complex than a few sentences in a forum can convey, although I have no doubt most who frequent this forum already know that. Thanks again.
