    Even if the felony is for tax evasion?

    Reasons for Losing your PE

    In our state, NM, engineers can lose their license if convicted of a felony. Do you believe that the type of crime should be considered? Or just being a "felon" is enough to lose your license. Our situation involves a soon to be former partner who has plead guilty to tax evasion. His hearing...

    Hiring an engineer

    This type of attitude is a glimpse of what you'll be in store for once this guy becomes your problem. Been there, done that.

    IT Rates?

    We have hired an independent IT person to take care of our computer installations, problems, server needs, etc. on a part time basis. How do you all handle your in-house computer needs and do you have a full time employee or part-time? What kind of hourly rates do you pay?

    Billing rates

    When we started our mechanical engineering firm, we were working on a project with a very successful electrical firm. The second project we had with the same electrical firm resulted in the engineer's wife calling and asking me to lunch. She wanted to tell me that our fees were TOO low...

    Marriage to an Engineer

    Just to get my 2 cents in-I've been married to an engineer 29 years this Thursday. He is, and a majority of other engineers I have met throughout our life together, one of the most honest, intelligent and moral human beings I have ever met. Kudos to all of you!

    Yes, this does happen to be the same employee we have had the sexual innuendo problems with.

    We have recently hired an electrical engineer and as part of his hiring package offered to cover moving expenses up to a maximum of $10,000.00. He moved in July with his family following him the last week of September. In addition to asking for a cashier's check to pay the moving company...

    Software Subscription Fees for Small Firms

    The main problem is that most of our work is done with architects-we have to work on the plans they generate and vice versa.

    My apologies for offending anyone-I am from Missouri, didn't mean to stereotype.

    What does it take to make moonlighting work?

    Our firm does not strictly prohibit moonlighting, because as many of you have said, what you want to do on your time is your business. What does affect your employer is how much time you spend during your regular business day working on your "side jobs". When you do, you are stealing. You will...

    Help. Our newly hired 60 year old male EE, married w/2 kids , 30 yrs. experience,upper level management and a self proclaimed "good" christian, has revealed a side of his personality undetected during his initial interview. He is, in my opinion, using language that is borderline harassment...

    Software Subscription Fees for Small Firms

    Our AutoDesk software subscription renewal arrived today-$12,000 for 1 year; there are 2 years remaining on our lease to purchase Autodesk Software. That set us back $66,000. Is this standard? When I think of all the other things we could use the $$$$ for. Does anyone have any solutions for...

    NCS Standards

    Any suggestions on setting up office CAD standards? Our designer/drafters are always having conflicts=it's borderline ridiculous. How do we get them all to compromise and agree to a standard that will ultimately result in uniform plans?

    Who has a wife that works in your firm?

    I would like to suggest in lieu of throwing files-it's always beneficial to keep a corporate squirt gun around the office armed and ready for firing! A Nerf fly bomb works almost as well.
