I had a GF who was getting in hot water about missing work among other issues. She comes in to work one day and they gave her a promotion and a raise. Go figure.

I've rarely seen management even remotely concerned with the happiness of workers. . .

Sitting here shooting the bull with a buddy.
He mad.
He recently recieved a letter of commendation for 14 YEARS of perfect attendance.
Exemplory employee. Great asset to the company. Blah blah blah.

Of course a few weeks later he gets a severe case of the flu and missed 10 days.
He gets called to the front office.
Ass chewing and letter of reprimand for being an unacceptable employee.
He holds up his hand, makes the hold on a sec sign, leaves, goes to his office, returns with the letter of commendation.
Shows it to them.

Now management is even more pissed off at him.

We had a co-worker die in the weight room ( "wellness center") of a massive cerebral hemorrhage , died in the arms of his best friend.

The first concern of one of our middle managers was clocking him out immediately.


Same manager tried to give a guy a discipline day off on the day he retired, for being late.



Another guy had heat stroke, passed out, and had to be transported to the  hospital by ambulance.........yup, they clocked him out as soon as they loaded him up.


And they wonder why we will not eat lunch with them.

Guy I used to work with got shot while on a business trip.

The company delayed his raise because he missed time due to his gunshot wounds.

I was working a job where 100% of the job can be done completely remotely, from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, at any time of day or night.  Immediate supervisor was cool with people working remotely.  Hell, all our applications were web-based to a server a few states away, so even in the office we were still "working remotely".

Upper management refuses to let people work from home because they "don't trust" that they are working, and they have a masturbatory fantasy of everyone working in a "team environment" in the office…meaning in dull, gray, mostly quiet cubicles.  So now instead of some employees getting some overtime from home (easily verifiable that they are actually working based on how the systems were set up) and going the extra mile when we have a backlog of work, that all stops.  Upper management wonders why production is slowing down.   Good going fostering high morale, dickheads.  "Oh you don't trust us to work remotely?  Guess we'll stop putting in extra hours from home to clear out the backlog."

HR complained that our office was pretty flexible with when employees could come and go (apparently other company offices weren't, and I guess that isn't fair).  It made for a nice environment where people were treated as adults and if you wanted to go to the gym for 2 hours in the middle of the day you could, as long as your work got done.  So that ended, making people pretty upset since it had been like that for years and suddenly the had to re-arrange their life schedules to keep HR happy.

Oh and there's a dress code requirement (meaning khakis/button-up/nice shoes as a minimum) even though this office is completely internal to the company and doesn't see outside clients.  Everyone here literally comes in, stares at their computers all day, and goes home.  But there's "casual Fridays" where we were allowed to wear jeans and a golf shirt.  If it's ok on Friday, why isn't it ok every other day?


The complete absurdity of that situation is off the scale.  "This job can be done 100% from anywhere at any time, so let's make people dress up and come into the office and sit in cubes, and take away their flexible schedules just to keep up appearances.  Why are they unhappy?!?!"

I like the induvidual that spends more time trying to get out of work then actually doing his work.... then when they fucks up ,everyone is blamed for it. Comes in late,leaves early, calls in sick quite often, sits around watching wroldstarhiphop & youtube vids all day. Works on personal endeviours... Never goes to training, or does CBT's or can even remeber passwords for various sign ons to different computers.... And when the train jumps the track, it's never their fault.... always someone elses.

Motherfucker been here 20 years and is teflon as fuck.

It's like going to school with ESE/title I fuckers.... only thing they look forward too is lunch and recess.

In the mean time..... their expectation of you is to do your and his work and make sure he doesn't fuck up when he does work.

I couldn't quit that hell hole any faster. What's funny is when I told them I was leaving, they suddenly offered up a lot more money. I actually laughed in the manager's face, and said "I have a summary of all the unsatisfactory events I've endured, let's go over those before talking about it".
