Supervisor and the emoloyee were not doing their work. We catch them up and they both go remote. With them remote we are isolated in the office and told to rush to complete work, while work was a year behind before we were hired. My point: if a job says one thing assume they are lying. This job turned out to be nothing like they promised. Hopefully we will get to work remote soon. Seems very unfair the boss is remote while the workers have to be at the office
It’s truthful deceptive how they worded most of it. They didn’t walk out they where told they didn’t have a job according to the Facebook post I’ve seen from Ems employees.
I just had to share this crazy experience I had at work recently. I work for a large company that provides managed services to customers in our region. Our workplace is like an enclave, deeply embedded with one of our major customers, and it has its ups and downs. First off, we have an amazing customer. They truly understand that people have needs and obligations outside of work. Our engagement officer is fantastic and allows us to leave early for important life events, pick up our kids, go to the doctor, and even grants free leave during emergencies. It's a supportive environment, and we've built an awesome relationship with them. However, sometimes they make requests that go beyond the scope of our contract, and we happily oblige because of our great rapport. The other thing regarding working at the customer site is certain positions are co-signed by the customer…
Last minute schedule changes
I'm new to this community but didn't know where else I'd get help with this. I'm looking for something to tell my supervisor when they call me to come in and work with less than 24 hour notice. A little background info, my current employer is a private sector emergency response company. We provide on site support to industrial clients in the safety, firefighting, hazmat, rescue, and medical disciplines. Sometimes these can be last minute jobs and I'm ok with that. What gets me is when I'm working in the other business line, instructing those same types of clients in those same fields so they can handle issues inside their facilities. Teaching these classes are planned out weeks in advance so much so that we have a recurring client every other Wednesday. It's currently Tuesday morning and I'm getting off work of my fourth consecutive 12-hour night shift to go…

Here it is: your moment of zen
Like i said, many of us cant afford a house, so we actually have to wait for a relative to die so we can spend the inheritence on a house, and that might just be the down payment. So fucking unfair.
How common is this tactic?
My supervisor / HR manager is always scheduling calls with me. Last week it was 2, the week prior to last week it was 3, she has scheduled another one tomorrow. Is she trying to make me quit, is this a common tactic? Our contract states at minimum there's gonna be a 2-month notice period so I'm still entitled to 2 months worth of my salary God she's annoying as hell. I've already begun to apply to a lot, like 100s of places.
