Weasel managers: The whole " get everything in writing" thing just sucks. You can't really go on what your manager tells you to do anymore, if it's not in writing, you're hosed when the weasel gently caress in question throws you under a bus for telling you to do something that fucks something else up. But, of course if you question the weasel gently caress in the first place you get written up/fired. Perpetually offended backstabbers: You know. "those" people who you have to really watch your mouth around lest you end up in HR answering to a complaint. The c-level brownnoser: The person who should have been fired YEARS ago, but is still around because he/she is an out and out brownnose to the higherups. I'm talking a loving disgustingly obvious cleft presser here. Copy the world:Oh I know, If I send this email, then copy the guy's boss, his bosses's boss, the CEO, and the cleaning lady, my inane loving request that doesn't matter will get done faster!! You want some fun? Go work for a hospital in a state with at-will employment laws. Everything's gravy now since I left and went to a company that appears to give a gently caress, but you can ask anyone in SHSC how close I was to burning that place down.

What they never seem to get is the fact that in India, there is a 24/7 bidding war for wage people. Your entire office will go next door for a penny an hour raise, or some other perk.

Umiapik posted:Also... in the US, employers can fire any employee, at any time and for any reason? Is that really true? it can't be, surely. The term to look for in employment laws is "at will". However, a lot employers will do their best to make sure there is a "cause" for your departure, as to deny unemployment benefits with the most common cause I have seen is the white elephant known as insubordination. More stories form Hell's Pass hospital: My former supervisor at my former employer that I recently ran screaming from got the insubordination treatment. Supervisor gets email from the manager above him canceling all overtime, and requiring the techs responding to after hours callouts to flex that time out. At least that's what he meant, because the manager in question didn't know the difference between there, their and they're so the real meaning of most of his communications were foggy at best. This, of course being a monumental shafting towards us. Supervisor forwards the email in question to the CIO stating concern and asking for a clarification on the matter. Manager finds out about the supervisor going over his head, gets butt hurt over it, and by the end of the day the supervisor has been escorted from the premises by security and suspended without pay. He was eventually fired for "insubordination". No unemployment and the guy has 3 kids. He later sued and won an undisclosed compensation for an improper dismissal. ___ A rather talented software engineer over there was suspended without pay for three weeks on a bogus "employee relations" complaint. Turns out, he simply stated a dissenting opinion on a course of action thought up by management. ___ The lead clinical engineering guy was fired about a week before I left. The guy had been there 15 years, been put through tens of thousands of dollars worth of training, and generally did an awesome job. A c-level exec got mad at him over a fuzzy picture on a satellite feed that no one but her could see. After replacing the cable run a few times, changing out the tuner, and a poo poo ton of other stuff, he finally told her that it's a good as it can possibly be. The next day he was gone. ____ The head of Project management( also the #2 in IT ) left a couple of weeks after I did. The reason? He was told by the higher-ups that if he valued his job, stop coming up with ideas to improve processes. This is towards a guy who cleaned out a 2000 item projects queue that was horribly behind in less than 6 months. I may post a few more later. Because of that place I will NEVER work in healthcare again.

My former employer sent in my W2 today. In the dual window envelope, My full name, address, and full SSN are clearly visible.  We didn't part ways amicably and the Dept of labor ruled against them when I claimed unemployment for 2 months. Do I have any recourse here?

I just want it to be an expensive hassle for them. Supposedly they can be fined for that in FL.
