Cuddy Aug 2016 8:46pm, 7 Aug 2016 4,683 posts	Quote Pin Cuddy RS, we have a Mr and Mrs Brent! Mrs Brent is now driving for staff to 'buddy up' with new starters with a written contract...yes, a contract with shared phone numbers to contact the buddy at will, dated, with signature on bottom. Never mind that the whole thing is different from corporate policy. She'll be surprised when she gets dragged into HR for trying to overwrite corporate HR policy! I have nothing against helping new starters but a signed contract is ridiculous.
