Donate to help us pay for more staffing! Down in Fargo, ND they are using the funds for new NICU equipment. They just shit-canned the boss of the hospital unexpectedly. Must’ve freed up a ton of extra cash-use that!

Attendance Policy Manager Meeting

I posted about my company's no fault attendance policy a few months ago and HR has finally “caught up” with attendance reports. On Monday I have a “meeting” scheduled with the Plant manager. The plant manager is supposedly going to ” try to figure out” why I have so many tardies and “decide” whether they will let me stay. I just think it's funny. They denied my baby bonding leave and somehow expected me to come in every single day unfazed and ready to work. My daughter turns three months on Sunday, and I still haven't taken any baby bonding/ family leave time. I already have two wfh jobs lined up making more than I do now. So I've been having a great time commiting time theft Too bad California is a two party recording state. I would love to share the meeting with you guys.

What do I do in my situation??

I don’t have a clue if this is the right place to post but you guys seem pretty helpful on the other posts! I (17 M) fucked up at work today, which I’ve never experienced before. I currently work as a trading assistant (shelf stacker) in the UK for a very large supermarket business. Btw I have absolutely loved working here, the pay is great and the management know what they’re doing (well, at least compared to my old job as a waiter). I’ve been kept on for a few months after being a Christmas Temp, I’ve got one more month here and if I do well enough, I’ll be able to stay on permanently. Today I was working a 5-9 which I love. However, this shift was going really weird, time just didn’t seem to make sense at all for me this shift and I truly didn’t feel right.…

Vacation PTO/leave denied but it’s already booked

Thought I would be out of this job by the time my vacation came around so I booked it, but the next job I had set up fell through. Once I knew this, I immediately requested Thursday and Friday off (a month in advance at this point). My boss comes to me a few days later saying that 2 people already requested off for Friday so I can’t take off, but I can on Thursday. I didn’t expect that this would happen since it’s rare that people take off this far in advance and that there’s even 2 people off on the same day. Unfortunately, my job doesn’t have an option of someone just covering my shift since it’s lab work. The trip is non-refundable and I don’t know what to do about Friday. Any suggestions?

Not what was promised

I went to school and learned a skilled trade. I graduated last spring from my local community college carrying a 4.0 GPA. Without any experience I wasn't getting much response to my applications, so I went to work doing maintenance in a factory. I had a friend tell me about a job in my field. I have my resume on the employment websites, the next day I actually got an e-mail alert about this job my friend told me about. It was a temp to hire through Express Employment Service. I applied and they called me the same day. I even interviewed that afternoon. They told me the pay, the hours, and the length of the probationary period before I would be hired full time. I can negotiate my pay with the business owner if I'm hired full time. It's a cut in pay but it's the same pay as…
