Company I work for just declared bankruptcy and layed off around a thousand workers. They let us know with a company wide email that we no longer had jobs from that point on. What are our options?

Kept getting into trouble for asking for KPIs

My boss is one of those who always covered for the weak links. We have a lot of those. I’m too jaded to really care. But what I don’t like is when I’m expected to pander and enable their behavior. I have to build systems to present data for their KPIs. I thought it was common sense to expect the dept heads to outline their KPIs so I know what to display in the system but he shot it down. I was genuinely confused how am I supposed to do what he expects me to do without knowing what KPIs to display for each department. He says I was being resistant to him (not asking them for their KPIs). After a few weeks he wouldn’t shut up about KPIs. Recently, he asked for help in creating case studies. Because I knew these people will not prepare their data, i created…

Enjoy your long weekend…

Posting cause I'm hoping it'll amuse I am currently at a part time job. It's 3 full days a week, but given how the business works the role would actually be better as 5 part days. A couple of months ago I flagged this with the boss and explained how the large backlog and delay was causing things to be less effective than they could be. He dismissed my feedback (shocker I know) but then had the tone deafness to genuinely wish me a good long weekend on my last working day of the week…never mind the mess I was coming back to 4 days later 🤦‍️

Do I have a case to call the labor board?

I work as a cleaner in a hospital. I made a previous post about the state of my workplace right now. Basically people are being treated like crap. This write up was completely ridiculous. I was taking a break in the area that I was cleaning. During my training when I started, we always took a break in the waiting area of our floor that we would clean. I've been doing it for the entire year I've been working here. The director comes up to said area and tells me and another person I was on break with “ladies, this isn't a break room.” I looked at him and asked “okay, where do you want me to go?” He got visibily irritated and said “nevermind, just finish your break.” So I said okay. We had a situation that happened after my break which takes precedence over cleaning rooms. Obviously was…

You have a second job and need a set schedule? Bye bye

So I was working for this company for almost a year, from the time I was hired to my firing I was never told even an average for what time I would expect to get off. I was fine with that at first because I needed the hours. Well fall time hits and the hours are getting shorter and I averaged about 1900 a paycheck and it started averaging 1300 a paycheck. So I take on a second job to make up the difference in income. Now a newer manager (cycled through a few by the time my last one came around) comes and things start finally looking good. Maintenance finally starts working on our equipment we told them about months ago. Things with other departments start getting organized and problems worked out. Now comes the part where hours are starting to come back but not frequent enough to warrant…

I think this says a alot when your employer has an employment solicitors webpage blocked so employees can’t view it at work.
