my friend was recently fired from mcdonald’s. she had covid and obviously couldn’t go into work so they replaced her. she went to return her washed, dried, and folded uniform to get her check. they said they wouldn’t be giving it to her until she brought the uniform back dry cleaned, with the tag attached, in the bag. she told me the uniform wasn’t dry cleaned when she got it cause there was no dry cleaners tag attached. are they allowed to do this?
Interviewer: “We notice that you change jobs roughly every so often.We're looking for a long term commitment.” Me: “No problem, as you can see I've stayed with several companies for longer terms, but had different positions within those companies. Interviewer: Oh right… Also, if we continue the company will offer a 6 month contract through a recruitment/employment agency which comes down to at-will employement and when that period was satisfactory they might offer a 6 – 11 month contract with another 2 month probation (but there's a good chance of being offered a permant position afterwards). That's just standard, everyone who makes it through the inital time of recruitment/employment agency, generally won't be reminded of their probation in the next contract, since by then the company will know how well you function.” Me: “Nevermind.”
My impression is it should be the first, but I’m repeatedly being told it’s the second, only for the assumed promise of promotion to be broken and I’m left with a larger work load and nothing to show for it. I’m not sure what to do now, either move to another job and lose all the progress already made, vs stay at the current and just hope it eventually rolls around.
A VP where I work was just promoted to Executive VP even though 2 departments they're responsible for have been hemorrhaging cash, clients, and staff for the last 2 years. I am untrustworthy though, because I don't spend off work time doing off work things with the CEO… anyone have any course work for bootlicking?
I am a full-time exempt employee where I work in Michigan. I'm trying to figure out what my rights are regarding calling in as a salaried employee. Last week I called in on Monday, worked Tuesday through Thursday, then had Friday scheduled off with PTO. Do I have to use PTO for the call-in on Monday to get my full salary, or can I be docked pay if I don't use it? Thanks so much for any help!
