I work in a warehouse for a smaller building material chain store. All in all, I enjoy my job. Decent pay, good benefits, and overall I like coming to work.
However…
My work just emailed this to everyone. From what I'm reading, if I called out 3 times in a 180 day period I won't get my Christmas bonus, or my safety bonus. Safety bonus is $200 and our Christmas bonus is (usually) 2 weeks pay. This company is typically big one making sure we get these bonuses. Which is why reading this upcoming policy seems so out of place for this company.
I feel like I shouldn't call out when I'm sick, or even bother taking my lunch breaks. What if I'm a minute late from coming back? What if I get hurt outside of work and can't make it in that day? What if my car breaks down and I'm late for work? What if there's a snow storm and I can't make it into work?
Just sucks that this is being implemented and everyone I've talked to about it agress this is a stupid set of rules.
