Legal Separation Notice.

So sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question. I own a small restaurant in Georgia. My former front manager hasn’t been showing up to work for almost 4 months. I’m a very sympathetic owner, and I knew about her divorce situation. I allowed her to keep making the schedule for the restaurant during her absents. Today was the day when I fired her for constantly changing the schedule at the last minute and the lack of attendance. She keeps promising that she’ll come back to work, but hasn’t shown up since October. After some long text conversation, she finally accepted that she no longer works for us. But she asked for a Legal Separation Notice. I’m not to familiar with this process, and I’m not sure if it benefits me or her if we sign this. She physically hasn’t shown up to work for almost…

Can we talk about the fact that many of the people who “don’t want to work” anymore are actually people who already get paid to hold a job position?!

There are countless useless spacefillers (managers who “delegate” every ounce of actual work to their “peons” instead of contributing, supervisors who see more of their phones than their employees, etc). If the media and businesses want to have this conversation, then let's have it.

PSA to hourly folks: If your boss texts you about work stuff outside of your shift and you respond, that’s unpaid labor

I didn't believe a lot of the texts I saw on here about bosses texting employees about shit and y'all responding…ew who responds first of all? Then I found out at my job that one of the bosses does text their employees all the damn time…and they respond!! Go to HR and demand compensation and for the unethical behavior to stop. An actual professional workplace will you an email system that you can log into while at work. I don't care if it's a tiny mom/pop shop, they can leave you a note for when you're getting paid. Second, if you get paid hourly. Once you're off the clock, you don't have to think about work. If it's a quick, “Wanna pickup a shift? text then sure why not, but when it's about work stuff, about scheduling, about accommodations etc, that all needs to be paid for. Your boss can…
