Month: November 2023

I've been at my new job for 5months now. My probation period is 6 months. First few months go well with my manager, but for the past 2 months I get a new manager. I am technically doing my job well (as in technical part of my job). My new manager says that I am very unprofessional at my job with the client. He prepared a list of everything I could have done that seems unprofessional and list them off to me in a meeting. He also send them by email documenting everything. He says my professionalism with the client is unacceptable and this is my last chance. If anything happens, I would be done. He writes that we would evaluate my progress in 1 month. Things he mentions I did are unprofessional: Inappropriate jokes with the client during dinner party (I was friends with him, and I don't believe…

I work for vail resorts and the second day working and flags are arising because every where I turn, I catch am Employee watching me but immediately start acting like they busy. I took a break , went in the break room and they literally started working by the break room like they had something to do but in essence we're watching me. You would think I was apart of the taliban or something the way it's so secretive. Corporate did background checks and I was cleared so why are they doing this? moving forward today the same thing occurred so I called them out , the head manager calls a meeting and says ” we had some people last season do some fuk ups , no offense towards you but I'm glad they are watching , there's things I hate with my higher ups but I agree with it…

My shifts are scheduled 8.5hrs a day, 8 hrs of paid work, 30mins of unpaid lunch. My employer is using my sick time to cover my unpaid lunch on a shift that I needed to leave early due to illness. I worked 3hrs of my shift and expected to use 5hrs of my sick time to cover the rest of the day. Employer is using 5.5 hrs of sick time to cover the day. Is this a normal policy?? It feels like I am having to “pay” for my unpaid lunch. I get such a limited amount of sick time, every bit of it matters to me.

Long story short my child was suddenly hospitalized and I called my boss the day before I was scheduled to work to let her know I would not be able to come in for the rest of the week and the week or two after. I did not know how long I would be in the hospital with my child. She told me I couldn't call in and wanted me to work my shifts anyway. I did not go to work. A couple days later my co worker texted me the new schedule for the upcoming week and she had put me on it. She did not call to check in if I was ready to be put back on the schedule , even though I told her it was going to be a week maybe two. (Maybe I should have called and kept her in the loop but my…

Is it possible to initiate unionization, forcing a delay in someone being fired? What steps would be needed to force such an event?

Ive been in retail management for over 20 years. Recently, I've noticed that hourly employees are expected to “make up” missed hours. I understand this when you are a salaried employee who is under contract to work a certain number of hours per week to meet requirements. Why is this necessary for those only being paid for the exact amount of time they've worked?

Hello! I apologize if this is not the right board to post this in, it’s just the most similar one i can find. I’m trying to keep this vague, to face no repercussions. My store manager, male almost 30, was texting a my coworker, female 16, about non work related topics. They would text good morning and goodnight and text almost all the time. It became gossip around the store, because we thought it was weird. It eventually got back to my store manager, and he is now saying anyone who talks about it will be fired automatically. Is he allowed to do this, or is this just an attempt to cover for himself? I could care less about getting fired, i hate the fucking job. I just have coworkers that are worried they’ll get fired. also, is this texting situation as weird as we all feel it is?

I’m scheduled for one of my company’s recognized holidays but since I work night shift, I’m only gonna get time and a half for the first 5hrs of my shift. It’s just bullshit to me idk, I think I should get holiday pay for the full 12hrs.

I work for a large healthcare organization in IT. We had an emergency zoom this week where an executive announced a voluntary separation program. We can “elect” to leave for extra severance. No more than 15% of us can leave. If not enough of us leave it will be involuntary the first week of December. I don’t know what to do. The involuntary will be done solely based on seniority without manager input. I don’t know where that puts me in the mix, I have 18 months on my team and am the newest hire. But this is across a division and I don’t know how many people or what my chances are. I feel like I’m dropped into the Hunger Games
