Hello everyone
I joined a new company a year ago, and for a while things were going fine, but due to some personal issue, my sleeping schedule got messed up. So I started waking up a bit late for work every once in a while, not by much but enough to much but enough to miss the daily meetings. And although missing it, they would know what I’m working on since we have a ticketing system. The management did say that I should try to attend them but never on, what seemed to me, a serious note. And even though this was happening for a while, the feedback I got from them las summer was good, this being the only thing they pointed out as an issue.
Fast forward a few months, my mental health hadn’t improve, and during a period I was supposed to change apartments I messed up quite badly, my sleeping schedule got so messed that for 2 days I arrived at work at around 3-4pm, roughly 6-7 hours late.
I know I did wrong here, and for this I got a written warning. Which was fine for me. But this is also where hell broke loose.
They also asked me to take annual leave for those 2 days, which was taken after. Imagine me taking annual leave today for last friday. They also have given me a bad review which I don’t think relfects my performance, them also arguing that “being present in the daily is so important for us that we’re gonna judge mostly on that”. Having a good review meant I would qualify for a annual bonus, so I think this might be the main reason why they gave me a bad review.
They also said that I should start looking somewhere else and that I should hand in my resignation. I did not give any answer regarding this and they would keep asking for a while. Me, being a kind stupid, accepted to do that after a while, verbally. But they also told me to take my annual leave since they wouldn’t pay for that. And this is where I drew the line, so I submitted a request for annual leave but I refused to sign my resignation. Honestly at the moment I feel I’m punished too harshly for the crime I committed. So currently I am in annual leave and I don’t know what my next steps should be.
Should I just quit when I come back? Would it be a smart idea attempting to stay, even though I think not? Should I try and seek legal compensation for how they handled it?
I will try an answer as many questions as possible.
Also if it does help the current situation falls under romanian law.
