TxRover Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 5 hours ago, BTFD said: A moment of thought for our American colleagues, where it seems to be a total crapshoot regarding whether your employer will accept any excuse at all for dingying work, especially at the lower-paid end of the spectrum. You don't have to search hard to find people who've been given the bullet for serious illness, attending a parent's funeral, or refusing to work with coronavirus. Joining Teams calls from the hospital seems the least of it over there. There is an upside to the “at will” stupidity, and not just the two way portion of it. It results in innumerable lawsuits for improper firing (enriching lawyers, and employing arbitrators and judges) based upon failure to comply with a company HR manual. The standard of training for managers in general, let alone at many service locations, is such that they are quite likely to violate some rule or regulation in firing people on a semi-regular basis. The most terrifying thing to a young/inexperienced manager at a job is a veteran employee that knows “the book”. Half the time the employee is wrong, but the manager doesn’t know that either. The number of lawyers specializing in employment law is mind-blowing, and the number of people who effectively get a month or two off, and then back to work with backpay once a lawyer contracts the employers HR department, is crazy. The more complex cases take years and often result in backpay and severance settlements as the employee doesn’t want to leave their new job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 New guy at work hasn't got a clue. 2 months into the job and he has learned fuckall. Does the complete opposite of what you tell him, and If he does something wrong, it's never his fault. I'm sure he thinks sheffield Wednesday is a Bank Holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The public sector in Scotland is absolute swamped with the laziest, thickest, snakiest cunts on the planet. Success is talked down, failure is rewarded, laziness is ignored and thickness is encouraged. You basically have to seriously assault someone, kill someone or leak private documents to the press/other agencies to get sacked. It also appears you can be off sick as much as you like and pretty much nothing gets done about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
