If I give my two weeks notice and the company policy is to immediately escort out ppl who do so, doesn't that constitute a firing in Indiana? Or is it that since I declared intent to leave, its a moot point?

I'm seeking advice. My manager and district manager and Hr have been gaslighting us for months. Way too much to put into one post. Basically we got a new manager, she sucks. Breaks labor laws. Is rude to customers and coworkers. Doesn't listen to people. Makes people quit and then the rest of us have to suffer. I've spoken to hr and the DM and the manager herself about it multiple times. They'll say things will change but it always gets worse Recently I've been complaining about the fact that they have been putting more work on us and only scheduling 3 people during the day. We're a busy coffee shop. We're overworked and can't get anything done. They want us to prep for a health inspection but we can't cuz no staff I keep not getting a break bc of the dumb scheduling and the manager yells at me…

I'm from France, so I thought I would give you a bit of feedback from what goes on over there. Over a year ago I joined this company which works in a very specific field. They have an agency which is a 15-minute drive away from my home, and they offered a good starting pay and were opened to teaching beginners the particularities and technicalities of this profession which was entirely new to me. They taught me everything, from the ground up, and I was really surprised to see that, despite joining in October, they still gave me a Christmas gift package in December, which must've easily been worth over 100$. They also told me that I would be the manager of the agency I worked at within a few years ! Great ! But slowly over time and for no particular reason they've started treating me differently. Sending me…

I honestly have no idea where to post this, but this seems like a sub full of people that are frustrated by the corporate status quo, so I think this is a good place to start. Basically, during the pandemic we all shifted to nearly universal remote work. Many employers are working hard to claw back those policies and get people in corporate offices. Let me skip the whole pro/con of remote work conversation, skip any data, skip any benefit to either side, and simply say this: I believe if it’s possible to do a job remotely, we should be empowered to make the decision to be in office or not. So, if we can agree that this is worth fighting for, here’s what I propose. Let’s find a date on the calendar. Let’s rile up as many people as we can throughout the country (as I’m US based, and…

Sitting here during my break looking out the window and seeing the complete disaster of a snow storm that’s falling down outside (10 inches of snow) thinking about all the people that are going to be forced to drive to and from work in it then thinking about all the people that have died trying to make it to work because it was either come into work or get written up and potentially lose your job. If that’s the case, I think it should be the employers responsibility to pay for the funeral of the people that risked their lives coming into work in these conditions and not making it, it’s only fair since I already told you I don’t feel comfortable driving yet you’re forcing me to come in. I hate thinking that people die for these companies just for the companies to say “oh well sorry 🤷‍️ good…

I work in care work, caring for the elderly in their homes. The company I have been working for was hiring causal only but told me that they had so much need for workers that I would definitely get full time hours. This was a lie lol, I never got a shift longer than three hours and never got more than 10 hours a week. It took me a while to find another job but luckily my parents were able to help. Because I got another job I needed weekends free, so I left them a message telling them that unfortunately I would have to stop working on weekends immediately, which I know is difficult on their end, but they took away my shifts last minute sometimes. In any case I checked and they just took away all my shifts, which would be ok but I still wanted to keep…
