Found this from years ago. HR sent it to the whole office.

Update to: Boss told me I act like a stereotypical millennial …I’m getting fired

Original thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/yq2h8a/boss_told_me_i_act_like_a_stereotypical/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Well, Today was the day that my boss told me he is giving me until April 1st to either find another job or improve how I “act” and maybe will get to keep my current position. Addressing my comments from the original post: 1. I did not use anyone sick days since this post. 2. He did switch me to hourly in December because of my doctor appointments. For context: I had asked him over and over again for the health insurance information that the company provides. As I have depression and other chronic illnesses, I do go to the doctor office a lot. My health insurance was in the state over (a 2 hour drive from my job). Because he failed to give me any information on said health insurance, I decided to stick with the other state one and therefore had to go to another…

Hired and “laid off” the same month

Hi yall! So like the post title, i was recently hired by one of those free standing medical clinicals back in late december and onboarded early january. I had concerns when interviewing that the position didnt make sense. They needed techs for overnight shift 11p-7a x5 days. I asked the manager what the patient volume was like and he said maybe 1-2 patients per night. The position paid well and i thought to myself if the patient load doesnt justify the position, this was weird to be hiring. I was assured by the manager everything was on the up and up and they were growing and opening new locations, therfore no reasons to be suspicious. Red flag there but i accepted anyway. This position was interesting because you had to do the normal Tech stuff+run poc labs/QA the machines+check patients in via front desk. Fast forward to last week and…

Actually, I didn’t leave

Received an email today from the CFO of the company I haven’t worked for since September. Explaining updates to the 401k, wanting to keep me in the loop because I still have the account. I responded with that I soon will be cashing it in as it is one of the last ties I have to the company. Then I said that I would be looking to sell the stock as well so I will be completely severed from the company. He responds with thanks and pleasantries, then asks where I went after leaving them. I respond, “actually…. I didn’t leave you. According to the state I was wrongfully terminated. But, I turned down an offer at ‘company name’ so I could be closer to home since my my oldest needs me. Instead I am taking a job where I can be close to home and happy” Not juicy, but…
