RTO announcements
I have a feeling a lot of companies are starting to email out RTO plans. My former employer announced WFH perm during delta. My current job pushed back the RTO for Omricron. It’s interesting to see upper managements attitude towards WFH from 2020-2021 saying they want to be in office at least 2 days a week to now 2022 many pushing the top execs to give fully remote in fear of losing people. I work in finance on the tech side and there is definitely a fear of tech people jumping to complete remote jobs. Like many other posts out there sharing the same sentiment, it’s ridiculous people are being forced back in for no reason after proving they can work from home, they’re going to drive hours each week just to do online meetings in their cubicle because not everyone will be back in at the same time. What…
Trouble getting final paycheck
My final paycheck was to be a paper check; during my exit interview, I specified my parents' address to send it to (because I was going to be in a temporary living between moving to my new job). I can access my paystub and see the check that was generated, but that was almost 2 weeks ago and my parents have reported they still have not got anything. I've tried calling their payroll on several occasions; each time, I'm directed to someone that's always been going to voicemail. I've left messages but gotten no call back. I've asked if there's someone else I can talk to about this, but the operator has insisted there's no one else that handles that. It's possible they sent to the wrong address (my previous home), but can I take this a step further if my employer is being no help? Is it normal to…
Sorry if this kind of post isn’t allowed but this is the only community that I know of that can give me the proper words to say and how to say it. So basically I have been working at a pack and ship place for a little over two years. Due to unfortunate circumstances our assistant manager and manager left at basically the same time about a year ago – not due to anything work related, AM had just finished his degree and wanted to go into a career that aligned with it and the manager had serious family issues she had to deal with. The manager at the time took me aside and told me that I would more than likely be becoming the manager after she left and began training me with all the duties only she and the AM could handle. I was totally fine with this…
While I was in the military I was sent to a different office that just lost several people for some reason I wasn't told but came to light after a short time. I had to work on a special project that includes a lot of paperwork. After some time I figured out why so many people did everything they could to leave. The commanding officer was a workaholic controlling helicopter boss. At times he was standing for an hour behind me watching what I was doing. He did the same with other people. Even when he was on vacation on a ship south of cape horn, he was checking remotely what his people were doing. After six months I went to my old boss and with him went to the base commander to get my old position back. The helicopter boss asked me to leave within four hours. Since he…
Time Theft, what can I do?
Let's start this off with saying that this will be a longer one. I'm 28 and been in the roadside and towing industry for almost 8 years. This means I started very young in the industry, most companies have problems insuring driver's under 25. I got around this by sub-contracting as a roadside tech. Then took that experience to major companies fleet who was less limited. And subsequently took that experience back to my current company, which started to evolve into a tow company itself while I was gone. Now I tell you this only so you can understand that I have worked hard for a long time to get where I am, I'm experienced, well trained, the most senor driver and frankly I'm very good at what I do. I'm very proud of all of this. Why? Because through all of this I was able to help grow the…
My first post on here!!! TLDR is at the bottom, but I really would appreciate anyone who reads the whole thing. I’m trying to be as nonspecific as possible because a lot of my coworkers are the types to be on this subreddit. For some background: I (21yo black femme) have been working in a large chain food service establishment for about 3 months now. I kind of like it, but I have 1 major issue. I applied for, and was hired for one specific role in the kitchen that’s pretty integral to the service. I was told that I would be doing some cross-training so that when we were busy and/or low on servers I would be able to fill in, and I was fine with that. But in the 3 months that I’ve been there, well over 50% of my shifts have been serving shifts. Maybe even 75%.…
Just need to let this out… worst week of life. Not that life is great. I work remotely for a pharmacy and i call their stores to troubleshoot with employees remotely. We have an attendance policy that says a day called out is 1 occurrence, half day is .5, and consecutive days are 2 for one occurrence. I’ve reached my limit of 5 due to other real life obligations. Tuesday i came down with debilitating but non productive cough and Severe Head ache. i figure i’ll call off as i’m not usually sick often and it’ll mostly blow over. Total hours of sleep that night 4. Wednesday comes, i now have no voice, cough continues. Okay this is still one occurrence. I’ve got 90+ hours of paid time off saved. 4 more hours of sleep. Thursday comes, i work through the coughing, fever, and chills after boss insists i will…
