My friend and her husband work in separate departments year round for an amusement park. They've both been there for over 15 years and are expecting their first and only baby. (They can only conceive through IVF). She just found out today that they have to share her 12 weeks of maternity leave. So basically, if her husband wants any paternal leave, it cuts into her time. If they weren't married, they wouldn't have to share leave. I hate corporations.
Original thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/yq2h8a/boss_told_me_i_act_like_a_stereotypical/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Well, Today was the day that my boss told me he is giving me until April 1st to either find another job or improve how I “act” and maybe will get to keep my current position. Addressing my comments from the original post: 1. I did not use anyone sick days since this post. 2. He did switch me to hourly in December because of my doctor appointments. For context: I had asked him over and over again for the health insurance information that the company provides. As I have depression and other chronic illnesses, I do go to the doctor office a lot. My health insurance was in the state over (a 2 hour drive from my job). Because he failed to give me any information on said health insurance, I decided to stick with the other state one and therefore had to go to another…
Hi yall! So like the post title, i was recently hired by one of those free standing medical clinicals back in late december and onboarded early january. I had concerns when interviewing that the position didnt make sense. They needed techs for overnight shift 11p-7a x5 days. I asked the manager what the patient volume was like and he said maybe 1-2 patients per night. The position paid well and i thought to myself if the patient load doesnt justify the position, this was weird to be hiring. I was assured by the manager everything was on the up and up and they were growing and opening new locations, therfore no reasons to be suspicious. Red flag there but i accepted anyway. This position was interesting because you had to do the normal Tech stuff+run poc labs/QA the machines+check patients in via front desk. Fast forward to last week and…
Received an email today from the CFO of the company I haven’t worked for since September. Explaining updates to the 401k, wanting to keep me in the loop because I still have the account. I responded with that I soon will be cashing it in as it is one of the last ties I have to the company. Then I said that I would be looking to sell the stock as well so I will be completely severed from the company. He responds with thanks and pleasantries, then asks where I went after leaving them. I respond, “actually…. I didn’t leave you. According to the state I was wrongfully terminated. But, I turned down an offer at ‘company name’ so I could be closer to home since my my oldest needs me. Instead I am taking a job where I can be close to home and happy” Not juicy, but…
The CEO had brought in his 5 year old and apparently said to him (he was bragging afterward) he can come to work with him only if he fired somebody. Im there in case the poor son of a bitch has a melt down which I saw as very possible given the circumstances. Sure enough in walks this mid level engineer and the kid fires him and laughs from behind the desk. The poor guy just looked dead and I escorted him out. Imagine getting your degree, getting a house/mortgage, a family, and in his 40s! Then BOOM fired by a 5 year old.
