Are you all soooo busy in your little closet sized office reading reddit, answering emails, going over paperwork, that you cannot manage your own staff. You need to understand, that when we call out sick, call out for emergencies, or call out cause we need just a break, that we do not care if we find coverage. We already took that first step in calling out, we are going to follow through and not show up regardless of coverage.

Anyone else ticked off at dumb “…’s economy added x number of jobs” headlines?

Like, where are they? And do they pay more than 10 dollars an hour? It's like it's only good news for bankers. I hate this timeline.

TV Show Idea: Make CEO’s work and live off their lowest-paid job, until they can rebuy the most expensive meal they had that year.

Quarterly Performance Reviews?

Starting in 2023 we were notified we were moving from annual to quarterly performance reviews. Any “corrective” measures were to be handled at the quarterly reviews but any “raises” or promotions would be on a yearly or every other year basis. Why don’t they just say they’re asking us to quit or looking for excuses to terminate people? But yet they wonder why they can’t hire people.

Annual leave deadlines/expiration (UK)

Just wondering if an employer (UK) is allowed to dictate when holiday carryover (carried from 2022 into 2023) must be taken? They have said: Following your approved holiday carryover days for 2023, please note that these carryover days must be taken by the end of Q1 (Friday 31st March 2023). This is to ensure that you are getting maximum use out of your 2023 Annual Leave Entitlement.
