MRC48B posted:And then they take it out on their line members, browbeating them for "letting it happen" A million years ago I was working at a big servo in a really lovely area and, one night, a couple girls came in went to the back of the store and kicked in the big metal grill in the door to the storeroom/office. This was during the height of "robbery with syringe full of blood" epidemic so even if I was feeling bootlicky there was no way in hell I was going to go anywhere near them. So I just called the cops and they naturally didn't come for an hour and the girls got away. My manager, her boss and one of the real big bosses asked me why I didn't stop them. I said it was night-time and company policy says staff are not to leave the console area if anyone is in the store, also it's company policy to not attempt to detain thieves and to never put yourself in potential harm's way. I called the cops which is precisely what the policy said to do and remained safe in the console area. Everything we were told to do. "But you didn't even try to stop them" Well, no, of course not, the employee handbook forbids it. "You just stood there and did nothing." I didn't do nothing, I called the police, exactly what the handbook said to do. "Well, they stole over a thousand dollars of cigarettes*. I don't think we can trust you to continue working here." * smokes in Australia are insanely expensive. So $1000 is like a couple dozen cartons.

Having spent a lot of time working retail it was awesome when someone very visibly stole something because it meant I could rubberneck instead of doing whatever else I was doing that I hated, and I couldn't get in trouble because all the bosses were either trying to deal with cops or rubbernecking themselves.

Carthag Tuek posted:that doesnt sound legal (your getting fired) American labor laws are a joke. "at will employment" means any pretext is legal as long as they aren't stupid enough to openly document the actual reason when its "fired for being black/pregnant/reporting harassment/gay/following policy" etc I don't know if Australia is any better in that regard I know they have a whole island to rape their refugees on instead of a bunch of camps on the mainland so that's a cool innovation

And Denmark at least it's looking into copying the obviously great system. The best thing about the American labour laws is that somehow, some employers still forget to make up a bullshit reason and just fire people for being gay and get sued. You literally just have to write "fired for smelling bad".

one of my favorite things about at will employment is that it goes both ways, and now in a labor crunch people are quittng their poo poo jobs all the time with no notice, and then when the middle managers cry crocodile tears you can yell "at will employment baby! suck it!"

Just left job and my boss got mad that even though I technically did give 2 weeks notice, he'll be on vacation for most of that time so it doesn't count. I should have said "if you'd like, I can also be on vacation for most of that time", but instead I just said "yeah, well." and shrugged

Shame Boy posted:Why would that even matter, is he mad he doesn't get to spend any time with you before you go away forever? If you as a boss have convinced yourself that you have an important job, I can imagine that you could also convince yourself that you have an important role to play in handing off an exiting employee's responsibilities. He doesn't, though, and that was the last time I spoke to him.

make sure to give your two weeks in writing. by email bccing your personal email if possible. this puts them on the hook for 2 weeks of unemployment if they fire you on the spot out of misguided spite. and you should file if for no other reason than gently caress em

I was running a Cafe doing 80 hour weeks but was still a casual as my boss was cheap and didn't want to give benefits, I hassled him for part time and full time contracts for a while and never got anywhere. Dude was a class A psycho and had to hire a HR manager for a company of 30 people because the turnover was so high. Guy was in constant contact with you about meaningless poo poo and you'd get a three page email about cheese at 3am etc. I was on vacation with my now wife and told him to gently caress off and leave me alone for it, everything was set up and the person we left in charge was on top of things. Guy made it about 6 hours before he called me. I didn't pick up so the messages and emails started, psycho ex poo poo just blowing up my phone about cupcakes or whatever. Eventually I picked up, told him to gently caress off forever and that I quit, good luck and such. He sputtered something about notice and handover of duties but I was a casual and didn't owe him a loving thing. Abongination has issued a correction as of 02:47 on Nov 25, 2021 |

aperfectcirclefan posted:My ex job literally took away everyone's vacation time and no one except myself and one other complained. Stupid bootlickers. At a former job they wanted to have all the regular warehouse workers quit, and sign up at another company (owned by the first company) that would rent them to the first company as warehouse workers - when they felt like it, and at whatever wages they felt like. Now there was a really stupid guy working there, and all the other regulars kept telling him "don't do it don't do it don't do it" because obviously there's no way to make anyone do it (here, as we have human rights). He was all "yeh yeh of course I won't do it!" which is when everyone knew he was going to do it. So he did. e: This was in 2004 or something. Now he's working for my current employer and is still stupid as poo poo but at least they put him in his own little hut ½ a km away from the rest of us, so no-one has to work with him.

Carthag Tuek posted:that doesnt sound legal (your getting fired) Oh it absolutely wasn't, but it also wasn't worth getting a lawyer over. Once you have experience working somewhere like a petrol station you can find another job in the industry very quickly. Mostly thanks to it being an incredibly lovely job with a high turnover. For some reason. In the end, I got my outstanding pay with no fuss and that's all I really cared about.
