A few days ago we had a department meeting telling us (for the second time this year) our hours would be cut. When I started the job we were promised 48 hours and it's now been cut down to 24 hours. They are making us come in a third day for a significantly lower rate of pay, to avoid calling it a lay off. The department manager tried to spin this as a positive thing, saying a nearby company was doing full lay offs. I made a comment under my breath that at least they would be able to claim unemployment. Two days later I was giving a coaching for my comment. Part of the reprimand said ” (company name) is a good company that takes care of its employees and this comment is unbecoming of a (company name) employee”
It just hit me hard because I have several opportunities to transfer out in the works, and one of the jobs would change my life if I got it. So this will surely put a stop to that door opening to me.
Super frustrating.
