Union salting: signs to look out for. (They are afraid)

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/recognizing-responding-union-salting-jennifer-orechwa/ Common Salting Signs and Strategies Resume shows most or all positions are with unionized companies Resume shows gaps in employment or only the last few jobs are listed, and upon asking about additional experience, the employee is evasive The language on the resume, job application, during an interview or after hiring is typical union language, like organize, job security, dignity, and seniority A new employee begins forming groups of employees who stop talking when the supervisor approaches and appears to be assuming an informal leadership role Employees congregate in the parking lot after work, and the informal leader is always present Employee acts like he/she wants to be terminated, which often means the ultimate goal is to file an Unfair Labor Charge (ULP) against the employer Employees, urged on by the salt, begin questioning company policies, job assignments, supervisor’s abilities, schedules, wages, benefits, etc. Employees in a department who…

With gas prices skyrocketing, adapting to remote work alternatives become national duty as well as environmental duty

Which is another aspect to consider. When traveling to an office, we no longer just (“just”) sacrifice our time and health for crooks like JP Morgan and his office asset rental corporation. We increase dependency and consumption of energy. On top of the well being argument, On top of the environmental argument, there's now a national interest to solidify remote work as the permanent default.

HR rep who actually cares !?!?

I’ve been working for a company for almost 4 years. I have documented bi polar depression type two and trauma from a recent sexual assault. I remember when I got assaulted and found out I was pregnant from the assault and had to go into work the next day.

Got fired for literally one bad call. Sutherland/CBS/Paramount Plus

I had an abusive customer who was literally screaming at me, and I told her that we didn't want her back if she was going to abuse the employees. Based on that one call, which I self reported, I was pulled off the phones for the rest of the day, and told I would have a meeting on Monday, and would not be returning to work until I had that meeting. Well, now I've had that meeting. Apparently I signed a zero tolerance policy when I started among the many many documents I signed upon starting employment, without which I would not have gotten the job. Because of that and that one phone call, I am now unemployed. They tried to kick the can down the road, this isn't Sutherland's policy, it's CBS/Paramount Plus's…
