I [M28] work at what I consider to be my dream job. I am in an upper-middle management position and I usually feel confident and empowered in my decision making. I run a team of three assistants and about a dozen people under them. My boss and I have a positive relationship, and they helped me rise the ranks to get to my position. They tend to be hands off because they operate several other groups similar to mine. They have always championed methods like “give and take” and “one hand washed the other” when it comes to employees going above and beyond or needing to be cut some slack. However today I mentioned one of my Exempt (meaning no $ for working overtime) employees who was going home a half hour early since they stayed a half hour later earlier that week. This is part of a culture I…
I am not an emergency responder. In any capacity. My employer has classified me as such so they can impose a residency requirement. I want to compile a list of benefits that corporate counsel will have to provide documentation of my status for me to receive. I don't want to collect them, but I want to have documentation that they think its ok and I deserve them. Part of making a broader point with a grievance. I work in the public sector at a 9-5. I dont take call, I dont deal with emergencies. Thank you for any assistance!
Recently, a member of my immediate family passed and I informed my supervisor the next morning to let them know I would likely be out of office for a few days on bereavement leave to attend the funeral. Well… turns out the supervisor never informed any of our colleagues. Should that have been my responsibility or should the supervisor have stepped up to inform our colleagues?
Like the title says, Hr came into our factory and told us that we are being given the week of Thanksgiving and the week of and before Christmas off. They told us that if we wanted to we could use unemployment to cover those days or use our vacation time to cover. Being new (as a lot of us are) we don’t have vacation time yet so many of us will be filing for unemployment. But now there’s a rumor floating around that when we return to work those who filed for unemployment are going to be let go. Is that legal/is there anything I can do to assure I don’t get fired? Hopefully this is the right place to post this. Edit: I’m in Ohio working in a factory with no union if that helps.
My work has removed CARES hours (special COVID time) a while back and now we have 6 confirmed people at work. The management claimed they would work with us with not getting points (punishment for unplanned absences) which was obviously a lie and said 6 employees are being forced to come to work or get fired because a lot of us have already used up sick time (because you don't get sick only 5 days a year) And those who had sick time now need to use it all up and not be able to have it anything for the remainder of the year for other illnesses. We have multiple people who are immunocompromised themselves or have immunocompromised family not to mention our main customer base are elderly. So we (they) all get to be put at risk because HR has no sense or compassion.
I’m a teacher and today I had a meeting with my principal. I’m the team lead, which means I go to meetings when needed and bring back information to my team. I also help them out when needed with things we’re supposed to do, like report cards, lesson plans, how to access the curriculum guides, etc. We have a pretty new team except for myself and one other veteran teacher, but she struggles with anything that has to do with technology. For this I get an extra $38 every two weeks, a little over an hour’s worth of my time. I do more than an extra hour’s worth every two weeks. When I met with my principal today she made a comment about how my grade is a bit of a hot mess. (This is largely due to the fact that even though we’re supposed to have a certain amount…
