I worked at a company for 14 yrs. One day I was called into the CFO's office and told that my dept was being dismantled. I was in FINANCE! I was the ONLY person who managed contracts, orders, and invoicing. After the shock and confusion wore off, I stood up to go and was told that, if I wanted, I could finish out my day. I left. The kicker came 3 hours later when my former manager called and asked if I was taking a long lunch. I was confused and told her "no, I was let go". The execs never bothered to tell the department managers about the layoffs! She was let go that afternoon. Within a week, we were all called and asked if we would come back. I said yes for a raise and the ability to set my own schedule due to school. They agreed, I graduated a year later with my BA, and quit 1 month after for a better job.
There are a few departments where commission never fire or dismantle a department, one of them as being your accountant/finance. The other is IT and legal and HR. What did they smoke to even do that?
Worked for a big company who’s higher up corporate managers had no idea what their lower level workers did and made all kinds of changes that made our job harder and decreased output and accuracy. Think they did it to look more important and like they were doing something to their even higher ups. Chaos ensued. Of course it was our fault they made the changes that caused it. I retired soon afterwards, had heard it had gotten worse, still the same people in charge…..
I was thinking that she had got to the end of the probationary period and things like benefits and pay increases would kick in, so they got rid of her.
I am 32 and still live with my parents and I like where I live, in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. I have lived here my entire life. I couldn't imagine uprooting my entire life even for a job lol
@@what.the.whatever i happily moved across the country to get away from my family lol😂 but i was able to make a somewhat comfortable life for myself here. I cant imagine how I'd react to getting fired as soon as i got here
That happened to me. I moved across country for a National Park Service job, they cut the budget 4 months later and the last 3 new hires were let go. Thankfully I found another job in the area quickly but it taught me a valuable lesson.
"We're letting you go because our company goals have changed." The company's new goals: 1) Higher someone younger with fewer qualifications. 2) Give them half the training. 3) Pay them less. 4) Repeat steps 1-3 as frequently as possible. 5) Report losses as tax write-off.
Or, like at my job, have massive firings of the people at the very top, and yes, people who have lots of vacation time and probably were making a decent living wage. Then repeat months later, repeat again several months later. Make the people who aren't fired wear many hats and do the job of the others now gone. Yes, they are greedy, they tout themselves as being family - oriented. I can't respect companies who operate like this, but yet the greed is becoming the norm.
The first girl was INCREDIBLY professional in how she handled that. Great example of professionalism. The asking for performance and skill set feedback was a great move.
That's my problem though, of your just fired me, professionalism? Out the window. If have been like "word you're firing me? Som of a bitch! What? I just got fired, and you expect me to still be nice? Too bad I no longer work for you. Oh, hey, but while we're on the subject, what's up with that severance package?"
@@bottomofastairwell I mean that's kinda rude because most of the times, the person giving you the news is not person who made the decision to fire you and it probably wasn't personal. Cat take out anger on them for doing their job.
I got fired from a cleaning company once, and then asked to return. I was hired as a trainee, on a trainee rate, and told I would be trained and given a raise in 6 weeks. 4 months in I asked about my raise and was told I wasn't fully trained yet. 6 months in, same thing--my boss just hasn't had time to train me! Meanwhile my trainee butt was being sent to clients' houses alone, AND if anything went wrong with a clean I was the one the boss would call to ask what happened; I was asked to inspect the other cleaners' work and fix it, and I'd get yelled at if things weren't done properly. This was stuff the supervisor was supposed to do (who made a whole lot more than I did). 9 months, I asked about my raise again. Nope, still not fully trained. The following week a clean went wrong (an employee sat on her phone rather than clean the kitchen and the client complained) and I was reprimanded and told I needed to stay late to fix it, and make sure the other employees did their jobs right, which included 2 non-trainees and 1 supervisor. I had plans (helping plan a friend's funeral) and told her I could not stay and left, 2 hours after my original end time. Both the boss and the supervisor called me to yell and call me names; I'd finally had enough and submitted my notice. The boss was so mad about my resigning that she fired me on the spot. The next month she called, sweet as pie, telling me the clients wanted me back, and she would do me a favor and pay me a whole dollar more an hour!! It was still not as much as a regular employee made. I didn't respond. Sorry for the long post, but getting that out was cathartic :P
My friend and I worked at a cleaning company that did almost the exact thing to her. I left after a month because my cleaning was too detailed and making me slow 😅 I was told straight up that we had to be quick and not clean too well so we would be called back. I hope you have your own company now or found someone worth working for 💛
I once got fired for "refusing to cover a shift" of a coworker that called in sick. I had previously scheduled that day off because it was the day of my wedding, I told my boss that I was sorry but I did not want to leave my bride at the hotel on our wedding night and drive 3 hours to cover a closing shit and I couldn't drive anyway because I had been drinking. He called me "irresponsible.lazy and not a team player" I called an idiot...and he fired me. I found out later that his wife had heard what happened and said she couldn't stay with a man who would do that to someone and she left him. He became difficult to work for after that and a month later the rest of my crew quit.
Man, my company did that whole "we changed our mind after having an employee move across the country" thing. This lady relocated 12 hours with her boyfriend, signed a year-long lease on an apartment, and the company let her go within 4 months. She was doing a fantastic job, but the company decided they didn't want that position anymore and it was a 'waste of company resources'. The next year they 'changed their minds' and reopened the position, just to do the same thing again (minus the relocating of someone). That position is now notorious around the water cooler. When we hear they're hiring for that role, everyone gets anxious because we know they're about to ruin someone's year. If we could warn the potential applicants, we would.
What if you let the new employees about what they going to do and advise them to see it as temporary. Although I do think it'll be awkward after it does save them a ton of stress.
I hope that you tell the employee they hire as they as they get in that it's considered a turnover role and for them to start looking for something else to have as soon as the company decides it no longer wants their role anymore again.
The worst part is, when a company decides to eliminate positions/teams/departments, it's NOT an immediate thing. There's corporate bureaucracy involved that takes WEEKS sometimes even MONTHS of finagling before a final decision is made. You've got to get approval from the HR team, the legal team, the finance team, etc. and THEN, after the approvals are approved, those said teams have to decide HOW they're going to handle the process (who stays/goes, who gets severance/how much, who takes over ____ work, how the fallout is handled, etc.). It's a lengthy ordeal. So, when it comes to your story, and the first story in the video, it's especially fucked up, because by the time those people were hired, the company was probably ALREADY in talks with the various teams ABOUT eliminating those positions. There's NO WAY those ideas WEREN'T already on the table by the time those jobs were filled. They knew, and it really is that fucked up. Source: Literally saw it happen at my old job.
@@JCarlito19 Worse is when it is a rash decision made by some nepo-baby hire. At least when those weeks/months long changes are done, there's planning and consideration. Not, "Okay, Steve, you fired the sales and finance department. Who is going to handle setting prices, selling, and settling debts? Well, that's what those people did. Our product doesn't sell itself and if nobody is requesting payment, nobody will pay us."
They couldn’t even say “fire” or “let go”, they said “relieve you of your job responsibilities”. Like they’re doing you a favor. “Let me lift that burden of a job off your shoulders”
I was on my third year working for a small company. I had found that my absolute FAVORITE jazz singer was going to be in town, but a major car repair had left me with nothing to buy tickets with. My manager knew i loved her singing and asked if I was going to the concert. Told him no, and why, and went back to work. The owner comes in the next day and gives me two fifth row seats. I was stunned. I doubt I could have ever said 'thank you' in a more genuine way. She would be performing an afternoon concert at the nearby fairgrounds. The schedule came out and I was on it for that Saturday. I reminded the manager that I had tickets that day. He told me the owner had told her to schedule me that day because a client had requested me to do some personal work for her........ So, kind of heartbroken, I said I would be there to do the work for her. My wife and son would go. Then, the owner said that, since i could not go, he would like the tickets back to give to someone else on the crew.......... I told him I did not have the tickets on me, and that I would bring them in the next day. I cleaned out my company locker as I left that day. And I did not bring the tickets back. I contacted the customer and told her what had happened. She told me she would fix it. A friend of hers called me three hours later, told me the job they had open, and said (---------) had told them I was available. I would make $3 less per hour for the first month, but would re-evaluate after I got through their onboarding. I wasn't even through the onboarding and they brought me up to my former level. My former boss sued my new employer for stealing 'his' employee. It didn't go anywhere. And two of the other nine employees quit over how I was treated saying that, if he treated me, a person that was not late even once to work, and the ONLY day I had missed in years, I had an allergic reaction to a new medication and my wife called from the hospital to say I would not be in... and I was there the next day. It took him nearly two years for his business to recover. I am still in that second job, and have a 22% raise in total over the last three years.. and my new boss apologizes for not being able to pay me more.....
You can sue someone for "stealing" an employee? (Well I guess not, if the lawsuit didn't go anywhere). That's very strange. You aren't an object to be owned or stolen! Anyway, glad that worked out for you. What complete nerve, trying to get the tickets back!
@@lilyt5855 Only if you sign a non-competitive agreement of sorts. Basically used to prevent people from hopping from one market to another in niche areas. It's pretty rare though.
@@lilyt5855if there was a contract in place, it’s possible you can go to a small claims court/sue for loss of earnings etc if you can prove that them taking that employee directly affected how many customers were lost etc.
Yeah but no way was the person she was talking to responsible. These rugpull headcount reductions often come suddenly from the top down and managers are given like 24 hours to pick who stays and who goes.
At the time of this event, I was an x-ray tech cross-trained in nuclear medicine. Nuc med required me to be on-call for 5p-7a & weekends every other week. I absolutely hated being on-call. I asked to be transferred back to x-ray & volunteered to train my replacement. My supervisor said "The only way you are getting out of nuc med is if you quit working at this hospital." A few weeks later, I gave her my 2 weeks notice. She absolutely flipped out. She yelled "How am I going to replace you? 2 weeks is not enough time to train another nuc med tech!" I just looked at her thinking "You told me that the only way out of nuc med was to quit." I moved to a nearby metroplex & was hired immediately.
also = "no body wants to have to move for a job just to be fired only 3 months later" and = "we never respond to people applying for jobs,or turn them down based on a stupid made up corporate mumbo bs of being 'over qualified'"
It is true. Nobody wants to work. If you could stay home and do whatever you like while someone auto-deposits money in your bank account, be honest... you'd do it. Nearly everyone would. If you wanted to do it so much, you wouldn't need to be paid. So when you go to a prospective employer, you're selling your abilities and time, probably out of necessity. Odds are pretty good it's not something you *want* to do so much as "are forced to do and tolerate". People should not lose sight of that. It's called "work" for a reason.
I once was Fired&Rehired the same day. I was 19 and working at a populat fast food restaurant.🍔👑 I had been there for a few months and had developed a good relationship with the general manager. & because of this, I went above and beyond to help out. One day the GM hired a new employee and wanted to get them started ASAP because we were short staffed. Only issue was that it took 2-3 weeks to get uniform shirts and the only shirt we had was very small. There was no way it would fit the new hire and this meant they would not be allowed to start. The new hire was also distraught to hear this because they had children and waiting 3 weeks to start would mean they wouldn't see a check for over a month from then. Me being much smaller and having a shirt that was a little big, offered my shirt to the new hire. Literally gave the shirt off my back, offering to wear the xsmall shirt until the new uniforms came in. The shirt fit me but was too short to tuck in, which was a requirement. I brought this to the attention of my GM who told me that I was excused from tucking the shirt in and to have any other manager contact her if it was and issue. Fast forward a few days and I am working the morning shift with a manager that told me to tuck my shirt in. I told him what the GM said and to contact her because I physically could not do what he was asking. There wasnt enough fabric. He informed me that the GM wasnt there and he was the one in charge of the shift and if I wouldnt tuck my shirt in then I was fired fir insubordination. I told him he was asking for something I was not able to do and he went on to fire me. After I left I contacted the GM who gave me my job back and had a meeting with this manager that fired me. The manager who fired me quit after I was rehired because he felt it challenged his authority. Something stupid like that. Any reasonable person would see that this shirt was not long enough to be tucked in. The manager was on a power trip and didnt like being told no.
I (40ish) got a part-time fast-food job for extra money. My manager (22ish) was great. First manager ever to tell us NOT to use our break time to go to the bathroom. I worked the window and had to use the restroom but it was around the time she sent me on break so I asked if my break was soon because I had to go to the restroom. She said "oh yah, go to the bathroom and then come clock out for your break." Confused, I said "what" and she explained that our job is stressful and she wants us to use our breaks to relax, not necessary bodily functions. I worked in the medical field and professional jobs my whole life and had never felt to respected as I did in that fast-food place.
I'm retired now, but actually looked into the CA labor code about bathroom breaks. It said employers could not require you to take break time to go to the restroom.
Well, you’re lucky any fast food place I ever worked I didn’t even get a lunch break. They said your downtime in between customers was enough even if it was only a couple minutes…
I'm glad she was telling them the facts that she moved for this job they knew That! Acting all innocent we don't have the budget yada yada thats some bullllshit!
On the time theft, I once worked in a small restaurant as a waitress/hostess/dish washer/food prepper/baker. The Red Sea had made a surprise visit on the morning I went in to work, and so naturally, I ended up going to the bathroom more than once on my shift. My cook/manager, a woman, reprimanded me for it and told me that I "should take care of that stuff before I come in to work because it's a waste of time." 🙂 My respect meter had never dropped so fast.
Oof I too have an Auntie Flo story for you. About 8 years ago I was working at a big American company. My supervisor was a lovely woman who cared for her team like a mama bear. While she was on vacation, another lady supervisor stepped in to cover that position. One day Aunty Flo paid me a visit and I kid you not I couldn’t move because of the cramps, so I told this supervisor that I couldn’t come into the office because I could barely sit up straight (mind you, this was before WFH was even a thing, and this job could absolutely be done from home but that’s a story for another time). The thing is, I didn’t think I would have to get a doctors note for one “menstrual day” because I thought that this young woman would understand me. Fast forward 2 weeks, my supervisor returns and she calls me into a meeting room to tell me that I’d been written up for taking a medical leave without an official note. She was so apologetic, telling me she would have handled this differently and would have never written me up for this, but the deed was done and I had to sign it. To this day, what pisses me off the most is that the “acting supervisor” who issued the write up didn’t even have the guts to see the thing through-instead, she left the surprise package on my supervisor’s inbox for when she returned from her holidays. What a 🐍
@@AimeeAimee444 That second clip, the girl with the mole, she’s acting. Her whole account is about telling life-like dramas that aren’t REAL!! (what another comment states)
I once was hired to fill a position vacated by someone who knew budget cuts were coming. No one told me, so I quit a job, worked at the new one for less than three months and then was laid off. This was during a period of very high unemployment so no new job to be found. I volunteered to help a friend who was trying to start his own company and after a few months that was going well enough I started getting paid. We grew the company and I stayed for the next 36 years as VP, initiated international sales and visited 37 countries developing our dealer network. That lay off was the best thing that ever happened to me.
This just happened to me. A place let me go over minutiae. I really liked the opportunity they just had no tolerance for my disabilities. I was making $21 an hour. Now I’m at a new place that pays $25 an hour and isn’t so micromanagey that I even have to bring my disability up.
“Is he reading a script?” Yes, he absolutely is. Most of the time HR writes out a script in these situations to avoid law suits. If the wrong thing is said or even the right thing in the wrong way, it can open up the company to law suits. There’s usually also scripted responses to FAQ as well as a meeting with HR before hand about things you can’t say. It’s not personal, but it’s also super dystopian.
I've had to read scripts before. They are also there to protect the person delivering them. Do they sound robotic? Sure, but end of the day I need to protect myself.
are the regulations for canada or US my job is based in Canada but a US company and I've been wondering why HR has so much control over things that would usually be a management issue. from my little knowledge in a company with an active HR beyond where i am working. HR is supposed to work for the people more than the company.. let me know if I'm wrong
@@chelseashannon8830 In most company/business/academic institutions HR is there to protect the institution not the employee. If you go to them actions will be taken to protect their butts. If you are called in by them you know your butt will be red Side note, I've heard many instances of HR's being very loose about giving first infraction in writing warnings. If actual infractions occur later it opens up their options on what actions they can take since it will be a second+ on record
For like 6 months at my current job I was required to write down and track every thing I did to the minute. I LOVE my job... but they were especially concerned about my bathroom breaks because apparently taking 10 minutes in the bathroom 2x a shift was too long... (I have medically documented gut issues... it usually takes longer but I timed myself at work so that I wouldn't "inconvenience " anyone.) Hearing you say "20 minutes to take a shit is normal" (paraphrasing) made me feel SOOO much better, you have NOOOO idea. Lol!
You "go" girl❤ Don't let them get you down. I don't know why companies spend so much for employees to keep track of their every moment. It's enough to give their employees gut issues if they don't already have them! Some jobs need this, medical, where drugs are everywhere and pvulnerable patients are involved, or if you're a convict, and some ex-cons but don't treat everyone like a convict right off the bat. It dehumanizing people and literally makes them sick. The mistreatment corporations get up to!
So my husband and I are Aussie. He's a software developer and he worked remotely for about 3 months for an American company and then got fired on the spot for no real reason. EXCEPT you can't just do that in Australia unless you are a casual worker. Cause it's a shitty way to treat people. Basically someone in Aus was like "lol nah you can't just do that" to the company. They had to pay him an extra two months that he didn't have to work. You can fire someone, but there has to be a good damn reason and reasonable notice. America is absolutely wild with the way they treat employees.
@@UnExcited42at will sucks. My husband was let go post probationary period no cause no notice effective immediately earlier this year. Also didn’t get his last check until over a month later. He was a teacher in public school.
I fell through one of the loopholes in that law when I was fired from a job I'd been at for 5 years after new owners bought the business. Fair Work told me that because the owners were new, it counted as a whole new job and you have to be somewhere for 6 months before you can claim unfair dismissal. The reason they gave me for firing me was "we have no more shifts for you" which was pure BS because I was the only one there who did what I did. They wanted to hire their friends. They had changed me from part time to casual and also tried to stiff me on pay but at least I was able to get the $800 they owed me. I was devastated because I absolutely loved that job and I had learned so much about it on my own time, mostly because I found it so interesting. It was a unique job and there are only two other places the same as where I worked in the whole country, both in different states. I was mad about it for ages afterwards.
@@MojoPup that's fair, but from my understanding it's much worse than Australia across the board. Even the fact you don't have legally mandated at least four weeks leave a year is crazy to me. England is 6 or 7? That's the minimum requirement. Australia is 4 and it never feels like enough!
My partner and I are in Australia also. He was forced to quit. Probably because they knew they could not fire him. He has brain tumours and isn’t that smart and I was SO MAD they took advantage of him in this way. When he came home and said he lost his job (just after Christmas) I was so flipping mad! I am a disabled pensioner and he is my carer so it was really bad that happened. They told him that he had to agree to quit and be paid, or they were gonna fire him and not pay him anything. All because he swore in the workplace… which is so unfair because everyone swears in warehouse jobs. The real reason is that they didn’t like his flexible workplace agreement so that he could care for me… it’s been 1.5 years and he hasn’t found another job.
She did an excellent job with her second question. Getting them to admit that she did an excellent job for them and that her firing had nothing to do with her performance is an excellent piece of evidence. If she had any type of contract, she could possibly sue to get at least her relocation costs back.
They didnt. Go back and listen again. They said her getting fired had nothing to do with her performance. HR isnt stupid, they arent going to say, "you did an excellent job", so you can sue them for getting let go.
@@Sharayah144unless her position was facing a shortage of applicants and her skills were highly sought after, I'd seriously doubt that the company offered her a package to move. I would think it is much more likely she was looking for positions in different locations and was happy to get one. Especially because she is young. Not saying relocation doesn't exist, just the frequency.
Was fired from my absolute favorite job. My good friend and coworker and I took a day off. During that day her Mom was rushed to the hospital and ended up passing away. I'll never forget that day because when she came out of the hospital room and told me she had passed she collapsed into my arms. Her Dad had passed when she was very young so she had to do all the funeral planning alone. Well I took the rest of the week off to help her. When I got back to work an idiot coworker made a snide comment about how she was incapable of dealing with it on her own. I was pissed and said things back basically told him try dealing with the death of his own mom (who also worked for the company) and see how he likes it. I was then accused of making derogatory remarks and fired. A few weeks later I ran into one of the owners and he told me the company was falling apart without me and they were selling it. Made me feel better for sure.
I totally agree with the man with the cleaning business, he handled everything right. If they got caught twice now, it makes you wonder how much they’ve been doing the job switch for people who didn’t have evidence.
When I was 17 working at mcdonalds, I had ti use the bathroom and my manager said not yet. I snapped that if everyone else could take 10 minute smoke breaks every hour, I as a non-smoker should get to go to the bathroom more than once a shift
I once told my boss i had to use the bathroom when i worked at wendys years ago and they told me i had to wait even tho we were slow. When i finally was able to use the bathroom i figured out i had started my period and was covered in blood including threw my pants. I then told my boss i need to go home because she wouldnt let me use the bathroom and i started my period she had the audacity to ask if i was coming back to finish my shift. No i was not i had to shower and wash/dry my pants and only had 3hrs left of my shift. If she had let me use the bathroom when i first asked i would have taken care of it and not had to go home in the first place.
I take smoke breaks and tell every single new employee on shift with me that as far as I'm concerned they too can have equal time in breaks, smoker or not. I have only one girl that took me up on that after I told her she is entitled to a 15 min break every 2 hours. So she takes 15 with a snack, a book and her air pods in. Our manager (who takes a smoke break every hour) hates it but can't do anything about it cause they know I got my co workers backs, I'm 60 in 2 years and have no effs to give anymore.
Reminded me of when I was a pregnant manger in training, and they told me "I don't think we can let you go to the bathroom. They had me in back cash for 6 hours and I had 3 more hours left, while pregnant with twins. I couldn't even stand for the whole shift. They were later corrected when the GM overheard what had happened. After that they would let me go whenever I needed with just a few minutes to get a new drawer
I had a meeting like that once. I stopped the person talking and said "So you are laying me off. Let's skip the script please." She replied "I am not allowed to."
I was gonna say managers are employees that get told what to do....they have to toe the line the same as all of us. It doesn't mean they don't care or don't hate laying you off. It isn't about the manager. It is about the company /system they are in ...
@jamielivingston7765 .... So The toilet paper makes the difference in time? Always thought guys who stayed in there that long were taken a really long Dump or just on their phone too long... Are you saying they're using the toilet paper and playing with their ass that whole time... It does explain a lot of the toilet clogging after they come out.But dang I never thought about that😂
throwback to the time i told my manager at walmart ahead of time that i would be going on a two week trip , just for him to forget he signed off on it and let everyone know i quit and stopped showing up. then when i got back and showed up for my scheduled shift, my name was crossed out on the board and everyone thought i'd been fired or quit 🥰
In 2021, my dad was very sick and was not expected to recover. My sister and I were both working two different jobs and kept our employers updated on what was going on. When my dad passed away, neither of us were going to be at work for a while as we were grieving and needed to be with our family and have a funeral. I remember not being able to find anyone to cover my shift the next day, and when I showed up for work, my manager was shocked that I showed up. She told me that she didn’t expect me to be able to work for a while and that she’d get my shifts covered. Everyone was so kind and even called to check on me. At my sister’s job, the managers were not so kind. They were sympathetic for the first day, but that expected her to be at work the next day after we just lost our dad. She was a wreck and wouldn’t have been productive at all. While we were out of town for the funeral, her boss called her and let her know that she no longer had a job. That just goes to show that some people care more about having people work for them than they do about the people who work for them.
So sorry to hear about your loss. This reminds me of when I found out about my cousin’s death on my way to my retail job and had to call in to cancel. I was taken aside by my manager when I returned two weeks later to say next time I needed to give more notice.. next time my family member dies????
@@ehSHABUTIE wooow! I'd be like "yeh, sure, I'll tell my family that if they're deciding to suddenly and unexpectedly pass that they need to let me know at least 2 weeks in advance so I can pencil it into my work schedule" ffs! Some managers need to be relieved of their store keys and sent for some human training. I'm sorry for your loss 💜
As someone who worked for a family friend who owned a cleaning company, that man did the absolute right thing! It is a HUGE liability to allow an unauthorized person into someone else's home/business!!! They can lose their license and insurance/bond... The owner of the cleaning company is 100% liable for any injury, theft, damage in that property, he let it slide once, that was gracious as it sounds like that woman was a trusted employee that he had a good working relationship with, but for her to go behind his back and do it again shows she cannot be trusted, and she AGAIN lied to him, he had no choice but to let her go, she could no longer be trusted!
I got a job as safety coordinator with this company, got all their requirements from their safety audit up to par, made it through the 3 months probation and got the “we’re happy to offer you a full time position” speech just to have the owner decide I was no longer needed a couple days later 😂 the same lady that was “so excited to have me join the team” had to come tell me “sorry, it just isn’t working out” in the same week 😂 he ended up in a pretty serious court case due to a bad safety incident, which he tried to blame on me even though the incident happened after I no longer worked there. He didn’t win. Karma can be lovely
I got one, have any one worked on a job where your the only employee, and without a say, the owner sold his company without telling me, almost got arrested for trespassing. His only excuse was "Oops I forgot".
When a manager and hr person gives you that "company restructuring" line, it means that the company overextended itself in a frenzy to expand, the expansion failed, and now they have to dial everything back because upper management has mismanaged everything. I don't apply for jobs that hint at or require relocation, not with how companies treat employees these days, and the first clip really highlights why you shouldn't. There's nothing to make me feel secure with that kind of commitment to a company.
It also means the CEO just gave himself an obscene raise. That's the attitude in America now, worthless CEO's get multimillion dollar salaries, raise prices, then fire 20% of the staff.
In my professional experience the new paradigm in companies that don’t sell tangible products is to constantly chase success through reports/rebranding/shifting priorities. New executives come in, announce a new “vision”, reorganize, fail and leave. Lather.Rinse.Repeat.
That was the first thing I thought. You make budgets annually, so how does this company NOT know that they don’t have a budget for new hires? Until just three months later?? Absolute mismanagement all around.
Happened where I worked. They thought one great financial year meant growth, did a hiring frenzy, bought more desks, computers etc to hire a tonne more, and then 2-3 months later did their first redundancy in May 2023. Then another Dec last year, and another after the Easter holiday. Plus a couple of people laid off in Thailand and the US
I mean, I've worked where I hired people then the next month was told the outwork was being eliminated. So it's possible that it happened. This happened to me twice at two different companies
That girl has every right to sue because you can’t change business strategy in just three months she uprooted her entire life. My heart goes out to her and I’m usually the hard butt 💩 in all these comments.
@@yvonnenesler5540 Usually you can't sue because most states have the right to fire employees at any time for any reason. Most companies also have probation periods of a few months where they have even more right to fire you for almost any reason. There are protections if it can be proven it's discrimination but not for forcing you to move long distances.
She can only sue if denied the manadatory severance or that determined by the contract. No law says that they can't fire you. Business conditions change.
27:52 I've been a cleaner for almost a year, now, and the level of trust that goes into this job is something that people don't understand or take seriously. It's probably easy for most to look at residential cleaners and assume we're too stupid to do more than basic chores, or dirty and gross because we handle garbage and clean toilets. But consider this: we are in your house - often unsupervised - and you are asking us to put our hands all over your valuables. I know my client's kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom habits. I know when they come and go, and in one case where their kid goes to school. Service workers have to get WAY up in your business in order to serve you, and that doesn't frighten people nearly enough.
@@EmnM2010 I see you ❤️🩹 Cleaning is a a huge trust between cleaners and client. Even if my mom’s boss were to get rid of the company, (she’s the only employee and the boss keeps it running as long as my mom wants to clean,) but all those clients would still keep her as a cleaner, since she’s been cleaning most of their homes for almost two decades. I’m a corporate cleaner and have a nice regular schedule but vendors and quite a few others look down on me, because I’m just a cleaner but I do a damn good job!
I've never understood why more people don't get this. It's bonkers that so few people appropriately value the humans who have direct access to the most intimate aspects of their lives, _while_ performing the very labor that the clients _don't want to do._ That should command _more_ respect, not less. I'm sure there's a terrible explanation for the way society treats those we depend on the most. It's probably a horrid combination of racism, classism, an aversion to vulnerability and dependency, willful ignorance, and outright stupidity. It would greatly improve our lives if my partner and I could hire someone to help us with cleaning our home. Unfortunately, one of the biggest reasons we need help is precisely why we can't afford it. I'm disabled. Hubs does so much extra work to take care of me, has a higher threshold for being bothered by mess, and is a minefield of significant childhood trauma that's wrapped up in chores and appearances and expectations. I do what I can, when I can, but I physically cannot keep up with everything that needs to be done on an ongoing basis. You're a gem. In a fair world, you would have all of the leverage. Anyone who didn't appropriately respect you and your work would be ineligible for your services. 💙
@@omalahboo3163it’s actually the main reason we don’t have a cleaner. Finding one I can trust 100% is hard. They will see my habits (even the gross little secrets everyone has) and will have access to my home unsupervised and entering very personal spaces most guests will never see (bedroom, study). Why people think this hard work is beneath me always baffles me. The reason I consider this service, is because I want to spend my non-working hours on other things.
I had a small cleaning service for over 10 years, NEVER would have had this issue! Every person I hired, their training started with cleaning my home and worked with me personally on clients resident’s home.
@@sarahtaavetti Even if it was the first offense I would have kicked her to the curb. If I can't trust you not to lie, then I can't trust you not to steal
Fr. My jaw was on the FLOOR when he mentioned a bearded man. Like Charlotte, I assumed the son was like 14/15. If you can’t clean a house well as a grown ass man WHILE working for a cleaning business, you SHOULD be fired The Mom lying about it is just the straw that broke the camel’s back, honestly
Also, he now doesn't know if this is just the time they finally got caught again. And as a customer, I would be extremely uncomfortable if I was told a woman was coming to do a job, and a man showed up. Especially since I am home alone a lot of the time when my hisband is at work.
Once got fired for "poor performance" and told my last day will be in 2 weeks. The next day, boss has me handle one of his best clients while he steps out because "I'm his best, most competent employee and that he trusts my judgement 100%".
Fired for poor performance? But you can keep performing poorly for 2 more weeks so we can find a replacement and we won't be inconvenienced by your excusal... my reply would have been "Byyyyeeee! Effective immediately!!"
I had a contractor that would hire new workers of Craigslist almost weekly and send them to my house. They would leave for hours and leave all the lights and electronics on, which racked up $400 electric bills, they, hooked my toilet up to the hot water line, apparently because they busted the cold water line, which melted the seals of the toilet. Sealed up the walls without turning on the valves to the tub and sink. Installed the tub too far from the wall so the fixtures can't reach, and so many other things. I came home to water pouring down onto my kitchen stove 3x's!!!...$30,000 and 8 yrs later I'm still working to undo the damage. Vet your workers folks!
OMG what an absolute nightmare! Sounds like the maintenance guy at my old apartment. They put the toilet in crooked before I moved in. Manager showed me when I first came to see the apartment, a few weeks before I moved in, and said they could fix it if I wanted. I said no. I just needed to move. Maintenance guy wasn't there when she showed me. Months later, he accused me of moving the toilet and insisted. I told him what the manager had said and he insisted she hadn't. Well, he didn't know that I had taken photos of my visit so I could show my friends the place. I had a dated photo that predated my lease, and took a comparison shot to show it was the same over a year later. He never pushed it, so I didn't need the evidence, but I had it if he had. He got fired soon after. Turns out his game was to charge the landlord for "repairs" and buy supplies that he then used himself.
I had been fired for a job (retaliation for going to HR and discrimination for asking for maternity leave) only to have the recruiters reach out to me about the totally awesome job opportunities a couple months later. Lovely.
At one of my current jobs I feel like they forgot I worked there. One time they did. Years ago after an event I was cleaning a stairwell when the lights went out. I had no flashlight or cell phone. I took me a while to realize they were not going to tell me that all the employees must have clocked out and left. I picked up the cleaning supplies. Left the stairwell. Put the cleaning supplies away. Got my stuff. Clocked out. Went home. No one apologized.
FYI 3 months won't qualify for unemployment most the time. Companies do this to complete a job. Job done , project employees gone. Core staff is all that stay. New project, new round of cheap quick labor available thanx to the internet.
Happened to me once in a big hotel in my city. I applied for the position as head of the housekeeping. I was shown around the hotel, got to meet a few employees and told what the job overall entailed. Then, they told me they would like to have me work for 5 days, to see if I would be a fit... During holidays... In the restaurant, as a waitress. I was confused and asked why and was told that this would be due to the fact that they wouldn't have a supervisor for me in housekeeping to see my performance, but in the restaurant they did. Mind you, I was really young back then and new to the world of jobs and exploitation. I agreed and let me tell you, they worked me to the bones every day from morning to night, because they were severely understaffed and the restaurant managers liked to go on smoking breakes for 30 minutes or more. On day four I had enough and called the person who I had my job interview with. I had to call him repeatedly, because he either wasn't available or didn't bother to call me back or found other reasons to avoid me. I told him directly that it should be clear, after the last three days, that I would be willing to bust my butt to make up for the understaffing, make the customer happy and show a professional performance overall. He agreed but told me that I have to work in the restaurant still to complete the 5 days. I told him that the 3 days should be enough and I won't be coming in again and work the last two days in the restaurant, if he can't tell me now if he will be hiring me or not, because at this point it was clear that I only was used to make up for the stag missing during the holidays. He started stumbling over his words, tried to sweet talk me and that he gladly would have me at the restaurant for dinner with him, to talk about everything, after I worked the 5 days to completion. I refused and that was that. Afterwards I found out that the position of head of housekeeping disappeared after the holidays and the guy, who I had the job interview with, left the hotel.
The young man who's running the cleaning company sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders. He definitely seems like he's gonna run a respectful and proud cleaning business. Good on that guy for standing up for himself and his customers. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
The first girl was right to ask. When my husband and I relocated to France for a job that he'd gotten, nowhere did they say that the job was only for a year. We left England after ten years, having had a very good life there and a career; and then moved to Paris for said job. He then was told that they didn't need him anymore right before his one-year anniversary in the position, and the boss told him that they had always thought of him as a temporary employee because they only needed him until the boss was done supervising some construction somewhere else. But the boss's wife still wanted us to keep on renting the overpriced flat that came with the job. smh. We moved out within the week of him losing the job since there was no way I was going to keep on paying her any money when they had not been upfront with my hubby.
@@CatrionaCharles We were lucky we could stay with my husband's parents until we found another flat and he got another job. Since moving is so expensive, we also learned a valuable lesson: Always check the company first and make sure to ask if the position is permanent or temporary.
I fired a guy today for no showing a client twice. All he had to do was go get 1 signature and then send the document back to my client and he lied about it both times. I am really forgiving until you lie to me.....I don't care if he has a family or bills. IF you lie to me and don't show up, you are not the person I want to work with PERIOD!
This is completely fair. If sh*t happens and you can't show up, at least be honest about it. If you still get fired, at least you'll know you were fired for being honest and decent instead of fired for being dishonest.
@@gem9535 facts. I totally understand things happen and I could make arrangements. What upset me was he was making my business look bad. Lies and messing with my clients that s unacceptable.
I had the opposite of not being trained, they sent me with a guy for the first few months to learn the ins and outs and said they would let me know when it was time for me to be out on my own.. Well, a year later they asked me how i liked it on my yearly review and I said "It was good but can't wait to be on my own" , they all had their mouths drop and were freaking out that they forgot to take me off training!!! 😂 😂
The singer didn't forget her shoes. She changed her mind about the shoes she chose to wear. but wouldn't swap because her own were too good for the "help".
Your boss ads much more value that you do. That's why he or her gets paid more. How would you like to work your way up to a higher position and then make less money so those contributing less and with less experience can get paid more?
But why does the boss while on company time need an hour or more business lunch and an hour more to play golf while discussing business? And make millions of dollars while the employees cannot afford to live and work at the same time?
@@florenbaron7111No. First, wage workers tend to make less than hourly for the amount they work. For example, Dominos managers are quite open about the *fact* that drivers tend to make more than them. Second, a good amount of bosses and managers can not do the job they manage. For example, the manager in this video that couldn’t even schedule properly. If you *know* an hourly employee is not going to be in the state, scheduling them is either laziness or incompetence. I vote both.
She won’t get severance pay nor unemployment. She wasn’t employed long enough for either one. And she moved for this job, so if it’s in another state, then the new state will most likely require at least six months employment to qualify for unemployment. I feel so sad for her.
@@Wake-the-Woke Yes. She's eligible for unemployment even if the prior time worked is in another state. I've literally seen this happen multiple times. Even had one guy quit his job, move after quitting to another state and then file in the state where he never worked -- and got paid. Also, whether or not she's eligible for severance (in the US) is completely dependent on how the company set up their severance plan. There's no set rules - but most decent companies would still pay severance to someone being let go as part of a reduction in force even if they only were there for 3 months. The rules are different in different countries.
@@Nelle606In NJ, you would have to work for 20 weeks before becoming eligible and lost your position through no fault on her own. Perhaps the person you spoke about, had been laid off his previous job before being laid off his current one. You can collect unemployment from previous employment if you meet the criteria.
I just wanna hug that poor girl. She’s so young and damn, she uprooted her life for a job. She’s very professional and poised. I’m sure she landed on her feet. Hope she’s making a f@ck ton more money now too.
@@SSabeskisme too cause if she moved for a job that means she is educated and skilled probably paid very well and should put a clause for terminating contracts within the 1st year which should cover moving expenses plus 3 months wages 😊
Yeah but I think that HR-people are taught to keep it as formal as they can. Because sometimes the person let go can be more upset if they feel that the HR tries to be too "friendly"..
Timesheets and codes are a thing. We use them to calculate pay for shifts when employees work evenings/nights/weekends. Or training students. However ours are pre-printed out and we sign. Wrong codes are crossed off and correctly transcribed.
That last one really got under my skin. It wasn’t just an “oops” - she straight out lied to her boss when asked. That would completely break my trust. COMPLETELY.
Friendly (US-based) HR person here: If you are let go from a job due to restructuring (i.e. not due to violation of company policy or very serious performance infractions), you can apply for Unemployment Insurance through your state. DO NOT do the “you can’t fire me, I quit!” If you quit, it’s considered voluntary and you will be ineligible for Unemployment.
@@jeanams07 Yes, this is also true. If my memory serves me right, most (if not all) states, you need to have worked at least 12 months consecutively to be eligible.
@@gunfighterzero The company can, however, the state requires that the company provide evidence as to why the employee was terminated. If the company lies and says, “They quit”, they will need to provide their resignation. If the facts don’t line up, the state will investigate, usually culminating in a call with a judge to oversee the hearing.
I was a receptionist for a family owned portrait studio in my early 20's. One day the wife pulled me aside to let me know that her husband would like me to limit my restroom breaks to my lunch and two 10 minute breaks. I was floored and asked if i was really not allowed to go to the restroom during "work time" and she said that legally she couldn't say that but they would really appreciate if i would go on my own time.
Interesting sociology fact: Generally speaking, children raised in working class families are taught to be more compliant and obedient to those in power (i.e., bosses and managers), whereas children raised in middle to upper class families are taught to be more questioning of authority and assertive of their needs. That is a great example of the social capital that people are born into. That said, knowing about this disparity helps us to adapt and hone the skills we need to advocate for ourselves in the workplace and get the respect and pay that we deserve.
When you will be homeless if you miss one week paycheck you are going to be obedient to your employer. That is why I never let myself be in a situation where I NEEDED each and every paycheck. Nothing better than being able to walk.
Ha, my bosses always hated my questioning policies and procedures, etc….lol. But honestly some of them made no sense. I always wanted to know WHY I’m doing said rule, not just to follow it blindly, as corporate doesn’t always know what goes on in their stores/businesses since most of them never worked their way up, they were hired into their positions. So some policies/procedures made absolutely no sense and made the work harder and take longer than it should have. I will say tho I was very good as negotiating my pay at most places I worked at. And was always surprised at how little some coworkers made. And then I went into business for myself, where I made as much (or as little) as I wanted, depending in how much I wanted to work. 😁
@@jamielivingston7765 I’m not saying you meant it this way, but to me this sounds a little tone deaf, and that’s coming from someone who grew up in an upper middle class family. However after moving out, even when I lived with family/partners and didn’t pay rent or paid very little, I still was living/working paycheck to paycheck. This may have helped me gain even more perspective, but I don’t think people not having the retail/minimum wage job while prices are rising experience is an excuse to not be empathetic towards people who can’t just make sure they’re not in that situation bc they don’t have that option. Because even before I had that personal experience I still understood that, and would’ve never said what you did or implied that people who are in a tight financial situation are only in that position bc they don’t try or work hard enough or they’re unprepared. That’s just not true, and I could be wrong about how you intended it to come off but that is how I interpreted and felt about what you said. Although I do agree with your first sentence. Imo, no malice intended
My working class war generation parents were very firm - "you get a job, any job, whatever it is. You knock on doors until you find a job. We are not going to support you if you become a "drop out" (Sixties phenomenom, dropping out). I was told to obey my school teachers, not answer back, and that if the teacher told me off I'd get told off even more at home. Obedience to "authority" figures is what we were taught. My parent respected the Royal family, the government, the whole British system.
I used to work the kitchen at A&W. I was given a key to open up the kitchen and get the kitchen set up as well as changing out the fryer oil, work the breakfast shift by myself, etc... I was instructed to come into work a half hour before I was supposed to clock into work to do the setting up... I was told this by the head chef of the kitchen, she worked there for 15 years... I asked her why I couldn't get paid for my additional time and she said that's just what they've always done.? Like seriously? It's a minimum wage job, pay your staff properly.
Thats wild, stuff like that is crazy illegal. When I worked at Del Taco the shift manager told me to clock out and then finish cleaning and the location manager ripped her a new one. It's an old school attitude to get the most work out of people under the guise of "loyalty" and "proving your worth" but that's not how it works anymore, especially not the way companies panic about liability now lol
True! I had the same expirience! I would never let myself be treated like this anymore! What if something happend to me in that time? Have they reinsurance? Or it is then my responsibility to pay for myself?? It is ridiculous they expecting free work. One job expected half an hour before and after work free labour. And the other job I did 15 Minutes before work unpaid meetings every working day. So it is a hour unpaid and wasted free time too!
@@qryptid Looking back on it now I should've mentioned something to the manager that hired me to confirm the request to come in early. I was 21 at the time and was just happy to have the job, didn't work there long after that.
0:37 of COURSE he's reading from a script. He HAS to read it verbatim in order to avoid legal issues. It's more like 'shark repellent' to keep lawyers away from them.
This is very true. They have people who write this stuff out for them. It sounds impersonal. But there are so many ways that companies can get in trouble when letting someone go. They have to be very careful how they word things.
Regarding that last guy who fired the cleaners... I thought he did a great job with everything EXCEPT for when he told his customer, "... she said you're lying". You can NEVER accuse your customer whether explicitly or implicitly of lying even if they are. You have to rephrase that whole point in another way such as, "I spoke with my cleaner and she assured me she did everything she was expected to do" or words to that effect. The customer can still challenge the point and/or even accuse the employee of lying but at least you didn't accuse the customer of lying. If you're going to do that, you've got to be willing to lose them as a customer right then and there.
When my grandma died, only one dept manager out of six took time to hear me cry about it, and adjusted the schedule so that I could be away until I was ready. She was super caring, made sure we got breaks and shift switches,, got us cake slices for birthdays. She got promoted and moved to a new store, but the boss there hated that this girl cared about staff and customers. He got a bunch of people to bully her into quitting, so they didn’t have to pay out unemployment. No idea where girl is now, but if there are good managers, companies destroy them quickly.
Literally was in a meeting yesterday where I (senior, trained my entire team after everyone left but me) was trying to develop TRAINING MATERIALS and references guides and was told it was not needed and people didn’t need their hands held. And when I reasoned that based on my experience TRAINING EVERYONE SIMULTANEOUSLY including managers, felt that these materials would be beneficial in case that ever happened again, I was told “not to live in the past”. True fucking story. There are people in the corporate world who are worse than allergic to training others they are actively hostile to it. They want people to just come in and sit down and “figure it out” and these same people will hold it against the new people for not knowing what to do. This particular person has a history of driving out new people.
I was working with and old b*tch like that in my previous job. She was making new people make mistakes on purpose and had them fired over it. Now, she eventually lost her job and can't find anyone willing to take her toxic ass in. GOOD
The amount of people who think 'emotional support' animals are allowed everywhere drives me insane. They aren't. They're allowed for housing. Service animals are the ones that can go other places and require special training.
I was scheduled for surgery that had to be postponed due to low levels on labs. It was pushed out 4 weeks; the week of Thanksgiving in 2022. My boss said she wasn’t sure she could give me the time off. I told her, “I’m always very accommodating when you need someone to work a double or come in early or stay late. You can schedule me that week, but know I won’t be here.”
I'm way more combative these days.😂 Not with my last two managers- they were freaking angels! But about three managers ago, I lost my great aunt- an integral family member from my childhood. I filled out the paperwork to take four days off work so I could travel four hours away and attend the funeral while having a mini family reunion. The A-hole manager said, " she wasn't, like, your mom or anything, so I can't get you that time off." I told him, "Maybe you can't, but that's gonna be on you because that's your job to do that when it's needed. And, I am not asking you for permission: I am TELLING YOU, I AM GOING. I am doing you the favor of letting you, as the manager, know two weeks in advance that YOU'VE got a shortage on that day, and it's YOUR job to fill the position." He told me I might get fired. I told him, "I might get fired, but you just told me you can't even fill my position for four DAYS. Who do you think is going to rush to take my entire shift after you fire me because you couldn't even cover me taking a few days off? 😅 I welcome you to try to find that person! In the meantime, you know I won't be here that week, I will be back next week. You can let me know then if I'm fired or if you still need me to work my own shift.😂" Yeah, that dude tried me on more than one occasion. I lit him TF up 😂
In 2004 I resigned my post at a big mobile company. I don't regret it. These corporations use us and have no respect for their employees. One year later, all my ex colleagues were fired. The company was sold to another bigger corporation and they just came in and got rid of everyone... See, my choice was the best. Get out before it is too late when the ship is sinking... you know what happens, don't you?
@@marleneorein9484 I haven’t worked with that company for almost a year and a half. I now have the most understanding boss who believes that our health and our family come first. It’s a complete 180° and I’m so grateful.
I think it was less of calmness and professionalism and more utter shock. She had basically upended her life for better pastures, Probably felt better than she had in ages as she enjoyed her new life. then went int utter shock when she realized it was not a joke. She was devastated, She had rent in a place she had just moved to, and depending upon the area, then it would not have been cheap
I've had that happen to me. Started a job. Did a great job. Was complimented by supervisors and yet they than laid me off with many others a few months later. It's one of the most horrible things to feel possible. Reading a script to lay off or fire a person is just horrible.
I know it’s horrible but it just happens sometimes, say they lose a client or something, or they are bought out and there’s a restructure; something has to give, there isn’t an endless money pot. I do agree they should have made that a lot more personal. There should be some structure of a script for consistency but they should absolutely tailor it to each person
Preformance doesn't matter, money does. A friend of mine was the top earner/preformer in our department and when the company's profits were down he was let go over the 5-6 people who barely showed up and did the bare minimum. They didn't even really need a legitmate reason, good ole right to work bs.
Last time that happened to me, I just dropped my manager and asked him straight out, am I coming to work on Monday? And after he told me know, I let him read the rest of his idiotic script from HR.
Was made redundant 3 months after leaving a job I had been at for 4 years. Luckily the company's owner was very empathetic and flew in all the way from the UK to South Africa to give us the bad news. The company was doing well then the Department of Education announced that it would change the curriculum which affected what we did. I was paid 3 months salary plus some severance pay. I started a new job about a month later so wasn't out of pocket at all.
I rememeber years ago, an old manager called over to my co worker "Patrick, what are you doing over there?" ... he replied "Wasting the company's time and money." He was my hero and that moment will live on in my brain until Im dead and possibly after.
Gotta love managers who schedule you when you’re not available. I spent years with a series of managers who scheduled me during my school hours and made me find coverage. My heart goes out to that girl.
Oof I'm going to college in a month or two and I'll be working while doing university full-time. I'm terrified of dealing with managers who could schedule me during my hours in class. How did you deal with that? Do you have any advice for a scared anxious 21 year old?😅
@thayah So I am in that boat, you first give your class schedule like the days you cannot work and then if they call you demanding you work you let them know "I gave you my schedule for classes, so I cannot come into work. I have classes, I think someone else needs hours." And then if they pester, say it again but blunt. "I already told you I cannot come into work those days. It's on the schedule system." And leave it at that.
@@anglepsycho Ok thank you so much! I'll need to set boundaries right off the bat because many jobs demand to be your priority while the whole reason you're there is to be able to pay for school. I've heard many of my peers talk about how workplaces resent you for putting them second to something else and treat you differently based on the perception that "Well your job is not important enough for you so why would I invest time and energy into your training/skills and/or pay you fairly. I'm going to use and abuse you as much as I can until you leave". I'm dreading a similar scenario🤦🏼once my old boss at my summer job in a shoe store got offended because I declined the offer to stay through fall and winter. I was about to start my senior year and needed to finish high school and his response was a scoff🙄
I used to work at a restaurant that was always closed Sundays, and on my availability i had it to where I was not available on that day (it didnt matter but I put it down that way anyways) well mothers day came around and that's a really big holiday for restaurants so they decided we would be open for this day. I heard how for weeks the managers went around asking my coworkers if they could work that day, but they never asked me which I found odd. Well when the schedule finally pops up for that week they had me down to work for 8 hours straight (I ended up staying 9 hours to help close). I normally worked 3-5 hours a shift because I was a busser. I brought it up to my manager that I don't mind working but would of liked to of been asked before hand in case I had something planned with my mother that day. This man looked me in the eye and basically said, "the resturant comes first over your personal life" I was SO tempted to quit right then and there.
@@TheFereldenCat Ooomg they scheduled you even when you weren't available on Sundays? You're a better and more patient and gracious person than me cos I would've straight up refused that shift unless I was in dire need of money💀that treatment is unacceptable I'm so sorry that happened to you now I'm even more nervous about having managers like this
While I agree with the "not how you should fire someone" dialogue, this is how EVERY company fires people. They follow HR scripts to avoid lawsuits and saying anything outside what HR wants said. Companies don't care about you. It's not a family, it will never be a family, it's money and will always be money. Severance after 3 months will be nothing. Unemployment is a fraction of your pay and, depending on the state you're in here in the US, requires more work to get than just working.
It's honestly not even about the company not being a family. Of course they're not but the idea that you can't cover your ass AND speak to someone like a human being is just absurd to me.
Love how the Grammys celeb wanted her dogs for emotional support but didn’t give two 🙊 about the dogs freezing outside and getting soaked. Sounds like a wonderful human being.
Alix Earle did forget her shoes and brought dogs, but when the assistant girl said she brought them in case she didn't win...what was she nominated for cus she isn't a singer right?
Once I thought my appendix was bursting while on shift at a bar. I was crying on the floor from pain. Called the owners to say I need to get to a hospital or I might actually die, they told me I could go if I found someone to cover my shift. Some guy got a stretcher from his car, 1 of my favourite clients covered me with a blanket, while I had to call 3 co-workers whilst crying my eyes out before someone agreed to step in for me. Tell me why the clients were our here trying their best to help me and make me more comfortable, all while no one is pouring their drinks, but the goddamn owners couldn't make a couple of calls when I literally said I feel like I'm dying while crying like an absolute baby. Really opens ones eyes. I worked there for another 2 years, 3 years in total.
My mom came to CA to see me the day after I had my first son. A week later, she's getting ready for church, and she's walking around with her blouse on, her shoes on, she's looking for her glasses, etc., and I notice that she has her slip on. I said, "Mommy, are you going like that?", and she said, "Yes, why?" I said, "Where is your skirt?" She looked down and nearly collapsed to the floor from laughter. She had forgotten to put her skirt on!
@@SuperK2016 I am old enough to have six grandchildren today who call me Mama. If my parents were still alive, I would still call them Mommy and Daddy. My dad insisted on it, especially with his grandchildren, he hated Grandpa. It's a sign of respect to address parents properly, I've seen children address their parents by their first names, and that is disrespectful in my book. So you call your parents whatever you want or whatever they're comfortable with, and I will do the same. Thank you for your comment.
When I was 18 I lost my mom after a traumatic fight with cancer. Fast forward one year, I started a new job at a little restaurant. I told the manager when I interviewed that I could work any other holiday except Mother’s Day that year as it landed on the 1 year anniversary of me losing my mom and I knew I would struggle, especially seeing everyone else bringing their moms in for lunch. Well, I was scheduled Mother’s Day, when I approached my manager he told me “well, the schedule is already out, nothing I can do.” I told him I would not be back. People can be so heartless sometimes. Truly unfortunate.
I feel for you babes 💔 it's hard, I lost my father in '04 and I still struggle on father's day 😢 just know that they are always with you no matter how much time slips by
So sorry for your loss❤. I cant believe how heartless they were. My birthday this year falls on fathers day the first one with out my Dad. Best believe I'm taking the dsy off.
For the personal assistant, yea I mean she was probably in a role that should have confirmed about the dogs, had a list of things to pack for her boss etc like “personal assistant” is kind of a catch all job. If she’s thinking they’re just friends then sure everyone is responsible for themselves…but if she’s a paid assistant, she’s kinda in the role of looking after her boss too
0:45 Yes this is a typical HR script for firing someone. They are carefully crafted to avoid any chance at the company being sued for any kind of discrimination.
Ok, I understand PAs are expected to anticipate many, many needs. However, if you are being a PA to a toddler who might forget their own shoes, that is called a "nanny" not a PA. Giving up her shoes is not in her job description. She is not a nanny.
I totally agree that the PA shouldn't be expected to give up her shoes. But I'm assuming the person was wearing shoes just not the ones she would change into for the red carpet. Then, it might be the PA's job to bring the shoes she is going to change in to. If I had a personal assistant, I would expect them to my backup and handling things like that as their main responsibility or as a fail-safe in case I forget something on a stressful day. Either way I wouldn't expect her to give up her own shoes but it could have been her mistake that she didn't take responsibility for.
We moved once for my husband's new job (from Alberta to New Brunswick), and the company came to us a few weeks later saying they hired too many people due to miscommunication. And no severance pay, as it wasn't long enough. So frustrating. But we ended up taking it further up and got him a severance package in exchange for not speaking the name of the company. It was absolutely horrible - having the rug pulled out from under you like that
it's extra good that the first girl stayed professional and asked about if there was something wrong with her performance, since they said "no, it's on us!" if she applies to other jobs and they ask why she was let go after 3 months, she can tell them what they told them, and sadly some companies do that shady bs of calling your ex-boss to make a background check which is in Germany f. e. ILLEGAL! but that doesn't stop them... and if the ex-workplace dares to lie, saying bs that it was on her, she can proof with the audio that they are Liers, and even sue them for defamation and more.
That first one is straight up a script. He sounds like a 5th grader reading a book report in front of the class. And she asked the perfect question. And the corporate answer they gave was basically "we don't care". Oh, and Charlotte, there's no such thing as severance pay in the US, unless you're a high-level upper executive or some sort of government job (but not post office)
Uh, yes regular jobs do give severance pay in the US and I have gotten it a few times and these were not government jobs nor a high-level upper executive position.

@@MrsWellner Nope. I have watched other videos. She wants to raise her children with a lifestyle that indoctrinates them with degeneracy. Typical modern western woman. Don't post comments If you are worried about "feelings". “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
The reason they read from scripts when they for people is because, if they're not very careful with their wording, they can open the company up to big lawsuits, especially when on video calls that can be recorded
S1: Everyone needs to start understanding that companies at the end of the day do not care about you. They can lay you off, fire you, and/or replace you. Do not hold any loyalty to these companies. Get your money. And if anything comes by, that's better: take it.
Corporate America has been a lousy place to work for the last 25 years or so. Most people's employment was not based on performance but on how well you are liked and by who. Training for roles most places is poor or non existent. Or you get hired for a job that comes with a job description and what you end up doing is nothing like the description. I'm 64 and recently retired and delirious happy to be done with all that crap.
I quit a job that I absolutely loved in August/september. I had hit my head and for months was dealing with post concussion syndrome. My coworkers messaged me saying it wasn’t real. Then I was being gaslit into thinking that the head injury was MY fault (it wasn’t at all). Then about a month after my injury, I seized for over an hour and got life flighted and stayed in the hospital for a week. Now, the day after I got discharged, I had time approved off to go on my honeymoon that had been planned for a LONG time. I went (dr approved) only to be told when I got back that I was faking the whole thing. I don’t know why I stayed for that long. I ended up walking out after being yelled at for doing something I was told to do and being called an incompetent idiot. Screw you, Lisa. I’m getting my second degree and I thrive on the face you make when I force an interaction with you in daily life.
The HAIR is HAIRING TODAY! 😍 and you’re glowing bestie 🥰 love looks so good on you! Also, I’m a scheduling manager and the manager definitely forgot to take that woman off the schedule and then told her she had to find her own coverage so the manager wouldn’t have to go out of her way and fix the mistake she made. I forget to take people off days sometimes, it happens, but as the manager you have to own the mistake and either find the coverage or cover it yourself/with another manager. Own 👏🏻 your 👏🏻 mistakes 👏🏻 you are human, they happen, but don’t take it out on the employees. They’re there to help you and make your life easier as much as you are there to help and make life easier for them. It’s a symbiotic relationship 🤝
THIS!!! Ppl need to understand both sides of the coin. Managers that dont think about the needs of employees dont deserve good employees just like employees that dont understand the needs of the biz/managers dont deserve good jobs. If you want "job security" work for the government. No absolute guarantees there but its as close as possible. EVERYONE should treat their career as if they are self employed. Never take the job for granted. Always have a plan B. Always make yourself indispensable.
I am so sorry... my partner is in the same position. They laid off 10+ people but they have the job hiring online 😢 They literally wanna just pay dirt cheap for labor
I'm that petty bitch that would send the indeed posting to my previous boss with an email that reads "position no longer needed, HUH???". not even kidding. I would probably do this. I did something similar in the past lol.
Im sure you and MANY others will not like me saying this but YOU were not a good employee. Yes, YOU in the position was not needed anymore. You would be wise to learn from the experience and do a good long look at what you did wrong and what you could improve. You are a grown up now.
I once got a call half an hour before my graveyard shift telling me not to come in a “ they’d overreached their hire quota and had to release me from my duties” and then called me a week later telling me they had space and needed someone like me. Needless to say I didn’t go back.
The first clip- They are not allowed to go off script. It is to protect the company legally. They can't even say "We are/I am sorry". When you go into a meeting with your higher-up and someone from HR, you usually know what is coming. The person from HR usually talks the most and maybe a word or two from the boss.
Charlotte's hair is the most beautiful hair i ever saw❤ Thank you Charlotte for all the laughs through the years. You helped me more that i can say in mere words. I'm so happy that you got engaged. I wish you the best❤
I have hair that is the same texture as Charlotte's and was bullied about it my whole life. I'm 40 and still can't wear it down in public. Thank you so much for this comment.
There legit needs to be a comedy little mermaid made with @CharlotteDobre playing Ariel sharing the tea on all her sisters of the seven seas relationships ❤😂
Cleaner here! My old cleaning boss would have fired that cleaner on the first offense. There is no excuse to send another cleaner unless you are a supervisor over that cleaner. Not only was the quality bad, but she failed to notify the OP that she would be sending her son. I’ve only had a couple of complaints in the past 18 years, and they still sit in the back of my mind so that I don’t make the mistake again. Have a little pride in your work. Also..Charlotte, your hair is giving mermaid vibes ❤❤ and congratulations on your engagement!
As a teen I worked as a waitress in the summers and was too reliable. Got called in to cover shifts constantly with never a day off. Finally went out of town for two of my scheduled days off. Manager was livid that she couldn't reach me! Final straw was going to work on Sunday afternoon and being the only waitress to show. Called manager who said that she wasn't coming in to help, I would have to handle it on my own. I told her I was done and left. Years later I came back into town on vacation and ran into the owners who asked if I wanted to work while I was there? Some people are so entitled!
I worked at a company for 14 yrs. One day I was called into the CFO's office and told that my dept was being dismantled. I was in FINANCE! I was the ONLY person who managed contracts, orders, and invoicing. After the shock and confusion wore off, I stood up to go and was told that, if I wanted, I could finish out my day. I left.
The kicker came 3 hours later when my former manager called and asked if I was taking a long lunch. I was confused and told her "no, I was let go". The execs never bothered to tell the department managers about the layoffs! She was let go that afternoon.
Within a week, we were all called and asked if we would come back. I said yes for a raise and the ability to set my own schedule due to school. They agreed, I graduated a year later with my BA, and quit 1 month after for a better job.
There are a few departments where commission never fire or dismantle a department, one of them as being your accountant/finance. The other is IT and legal and HR. What did they smoke to even do that?
I’m so glad that had a happy ending. You definitely deserve better than that mess. 💛
Beautiful!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂 love it for you! ❤
Brooooo. I wouldve flipped off the finger. like wtf!
Worked for a big company who’s higher up corporate managers had no idea what their lower level workers did and made all kinds of changes that made our job harder and decreased output and accuracy. Think they did it to look more important and like they were doing something to their even higher ups. Chaos ensued. Of course it was our fault they made the changes that caused it. I retired soon afterwards, had heard it had gotten worse, still the same people in charge…..
Corporate executives “ no one wants to work any more”. Also corporate executives “we are letting you go because we are cheap SOBs”.
Exactly! I said the same thing.
That happened to me. Laid off and read some business jargon BS by someone who regularly dropped F bombs in my office.
God’s honest truth.
Also - “Service is our priority” “We aren’t hiring enough of you to give great service.”
100%
I was thinking that she had got to the end of the probationary period and things like benefits and pay increases would kick in, so they got rid of her.
That first clip is why im scared of applying to jobs that require that you're able to move across the country or to another country.
I am 32 and still live with my parents and I like where I live, in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. I have lived here my entire life. I couldn't imagine uprooting my entire life even for a job lol
@@what.the.whatever i happily moved across the country to get away from my family lol😂 but i was able to make a somewhat comfortable life for myself here. I cant imagine how I'd react to getting fired as soon as i got here
Put it in your contract. Big layoff clause.
@@karenneill9109i simply don't apply to them. Especially if the job IS travel.
That happened to me. I moved across country for a National Park Service job, they cut the budget 4 months later and the last 3 new hires were let go. Thankfully I found another job in the area quickly but it taught me a valuable lesson.
"We're letting you go because our company goals have changed."
The company's new goals:
1) Higher someone younger with fewer qualifications.
2) Give them half the training.
3) Pay them less.
4) Repeat steps 1-3 as frequently as possible.
5) Report losses as tax write-off.
Perhaps the staffing problem begins with the first three comments here each contain typos…including “higher” instead of 👉 hire.
Reporting losses is never a "goal"
Lol “higher”
Or, like at my job, have massive firings of the people at the very top, and yes, people who have lots of vacation time and probably were making a decent living wage. Then repeat months later, repeat again several months later. Make the people who aren't fired wear many hats and do the job of the others now gone. Yes, they are greedy, they tout themselves as being family - oriented. I can't respect companies who operate like this, but yet the greed is becoming the norm.
You mean "hire" someone...
The first girl was INCREDIBLY professional in how she handled that. Great example of professionalism. The asking for performance and skill set feedback was a great move.
Absolutely. Especially finding out if technically she was "fired" or her job was "being made redundant". Really good questions
tbh they shouldn't hire them in the first place if they are gonna dump them later on.
❤lawsuit. ❤
That's my problem though, of your just fired me, professionalism? Out the window.
If have been like "word you're firing me? Som of a bitch! What? I just got fired, and you expect me to still be nice? Too bad I no longer work for you. Oh, hey, but while we're on the subject, what's up with that severance package?"
@@bottomofastairwell I mean that's kinda rude because most of the times, the person giving you the news is not person who made the decision to fire you and it probably wasn't personal.
Cat take out anger on them for doing their job.
I got fired from a cleaning company once, and then asked to return. I was hired as a trainee, on a trainee rate, and told I would be trained and given a raise in 6 weeks. 4 months in I asked about my raise and was told I wasn't fully trained yet. 6 months in, same thing--my boss just hasn't had time to train me! Meanwhile my trainee butt was being sent to clients' houses alone, AND if anything went wrong with a clean I was the one the boss would call to ask what happened; I was asked to inspect the other cleaners' work and fix it, and I'd get yelled at if things weren't done properly. This was stuff the supervisor was supposed to do (who made a whole lot more than I did).
9 months, I asked about my raise again. Nope, still not fully trained. The following week a clean went wrong (an employee sat on her phone rather than clean the kitchen and the client complained) and I was reprimanded and told I needed to stay late to fix it, and make sure the other employees did their jobs right, which included 2 non-trainees and 1 supervisor. I had plans (helping plan a friend's funeral) and told her I could not stay and left, 2 hours after my original end time. Both the boss and the supervisor called me to yell and call me names; I'd finally had enough and submitted my notice. The boss was so mad about my resigning that she fired me on the spot. The next month she called, sweet as pie, telling me the clients wanted me back, and she would do me a favor and pay me a whole dollar more an hour!! It was still not as much as a regular employee made. I didn't respond.
Sorry for the long post, but getting that out was cathartic :P
They sucked, they missed on a great worker. I hope you got something better
Find those clients and start your own business and charge a little less. How about that!!!
My friend and I worked at a cleaning company that did almost the exact thing to her.
I left after a month because my cleaning was too detailed and making me slow 😅
I was told straight up that we had to be quick and not clean too well so we would be called back.
I hope you have your own company now or found someone worth working for 💛
@@hey2930 hopefully she didn't sign a non-compete
I hope you found a better place.
I once got fired for "refusing to cover a shift" of a coworker that called in sick. I had previously scheduled that day off because it was the day of my wedding, I told my boss that I was sorry but I did not want to leave my bride at the hotel on our wedding night and drive 3 hours to cover a closing shit and I couldn't drive anyway because I had been drinking. He called me "irresponsible.lazy and not a team player" I called an idiot...and he fired me. I found out later that his wife had heard what happened and said she couldn't stay with a man who would do that to someone and she left him. He became difficult to work for after that and a month later the rest of my crew quit.
Wow
Man, my company did that whole "we changed our mind after having an employee move across the country" thing. This lady relocated 12 hours with her boyfriend, signed a year-long lease on an apartment, and the company let her go within 4 months. She was doing a fantastic job, but the company decided they didn't want that position anymore and it was a 'waste of company resources'. The next year they 'changed their minds' and reopened the position, just to do the same thing again (minus the relocating of someone). That position is now notorious around the water cooler. When we hear they're hiring for that role, everyone gets anxious because we know they're about to ruin someone's year. If we could warn the potential applicants, we would.
What if you let the new employees about what they going to do and advise them to see it as temporary. Although I do think it'll be awkward after it does save them a ton of stress.
What's the role?
I hope that you tell the employee they hire as they as they get in that it's considered a turnover role and for them to start looking for something else to have as soon as the company decides it no longer wants their role anymore again.
The worst part is, when a company decides to eliminate positions/teams/departments, it's NOT an immediate thing. There's corporate bureaucracy involved that takes WEEKS sometimes even MONTHS of finagling before a final decision is made. You've got to get approval from the HR team, the legal team, the finance team, etc. and THEN, after the approvals are approved, those said teams have to decide HOW they're going to handle the process (who stays/goes, who gets severance/how much, who takes over ____ work, how the fallout is handled, etc.). It's a lengthy ordeal.
So, when it comes to your story, and the first story in the video, it's especially fucked up, because by the time those people were hired, the company was probably ALREADY in talks with the various teams ABOUT eliminating those positions. There's NO WAY those ideas WEREN'T already on the table by the time those jobs were filled. They knew, and it really is that fucked up.
Source: Literally saw it happen at my old job.
@@JCarlito19 Worse is when it is a rash decision made by some nepo-baby hire. At least when those weeks/months long changes are done, there's planning and consideration. Not, "Okay, Steve, you fired the sales and finance department. Who is going to handle setting prices, selling, and settling debts? Well, that's what those people did. Our product doesn't sell itself and if nobody is requesting payment, nobody will pay us."
They couldn’t even say “fire” or “let go”, they said “relieve you of your job responsibilities”. Like they’re doing you a favor. “Let me lift that burden of a job off your shoulders”
Lmao relieve me of my job responsibilities but I’m still getting paid right!? 🤣🤣 if I’m getting fired tell me 😂😂
This wording stood out to me too, how patronising it must be.
In a company like this it basically a relief to be free. What a bunch of bellends.
She’s being made redundant. Happened to me more than more once: if it’s honest then fair enough, but still hard if you’ve moved to get the job.
Ooofff that first clip. Very scripted on the employers end.
I was on my third year working for a small company. I had found that my absolute FAVORITE jazz singer was going to be in town, but a major car repair had left me with nothing to buy tickets with. My manager knew i loved her singing and asked if I was going to the concert. Told him no, and why, and went back to work.
The owner comes in the next day and gives me two fifth row seats. I was stunned. I doubt I could have ever said 'thank you' in a more genuine way.
She would be performing an afternoon concert at the nearby fairgrounds. The schedule came out and I was on it for that Saturday. I reminded the manager that I had tickets that day. He told me the owner had told her to schedule me that day because a client had requested me to do some personal work for her........
So, kind of heartbroken, I said I would be there to do the work for her. My wife and son would go. Then, the owner said that, since i could not go, he would like the tickets back to give to someone else on the crew.......... I told him I did not have the tickets on me, and that I would bring them in the next day. I cleaned out my company locker as I left that day. And I did not bring the tickets back.
I contacted the customer and told her what had happened. She told me she would fix it. A friend of hers called me three hours later, told me the job they had open, and said (---------) had told them I was available. I would make $3 less per hour for the first month, but would re-evaluate after I got through their onboarding. I wasn't even through the onboarding and they brought me up to my former level. My former boss sued my new employer for stealing 'his' employee. It didn't go anywhere. And two of the other nine employees quit over how I was treated saying that, if he treated me, a person that was not late even once to work, and the ONLY day I had missed in years, I had an allergic reaction to a new medication and my wife called from the hospital to say I would not be in... and I was there the next day.
It took him nearly two years for his business to recover. I am still in that second job, and have a 22% raise in total over the last three years.. and my new boss apologizes for not being able to pay me more.....
Wow. I am glad that it worked out for you in the end.
I love the karma! Yasss!
You can sue someone for "stealing" an employee? (Well I guess not, if the lawsuit didn't go anywhere). That's very strange. You aren't an object to be owned or stolen! Anyway, glad that worked out for you. What complete nerve, trying to get the tickets back!
@@lilyt5855 Only if you sign a non-competitive agreement of sorts. Basically used to prevent people from hopping from one market to another in niche areas. It's pretty rare though.
@@lilyt5855if there was a contract in place, it’s possible you can go to a small claims court/sue for loss of earnings etc if you can prove that them taking that employee directly affected how many customers were lost etc.
that first woman made me cry; such a shock.
She was SO polite, when they didn't deserve it.
I think that company was cruel having her move and then drop her within 3 mths
same. she didnt deserve that and instantly thought it was something that was wrong with her. ugh. corporate big wigs are my pet peeve!
Yeah but no way was the person she was talking to responsible. These rugpull headcount reductions often come suddenly from the top down and managers are given like 24 hours to pick who stays and who goes.
That word “reimagine” in the script…..barf.
She could be blacklisted, so it’s better to just get over it and be kind.
At the time of this event, I was an x-ray tech cross-trained in nuclear medicine. Nuc med required me to be on-call for 5p-7a & weekends every other week. I absolutely hated being on-call. I asked to be transferred back to x-ray & volunteered to train my replacement. My supervisor said "The only way you are getting out of nuc med is if you quit working at this hospital." A few weeks later, I gave her my 2 weeks notice. She absolutely flipped out. She yelled "How am I going to replace you? 2 weeks is not enough time to train another nuc med tech!" I just looked at her thinking "You told me that the only way out of nuc med was to quit."
I moved to a nearby metroplex & was hired immediately.
She was mad you took her word and called her bluff.
"Nobody wants to work" = "Nobody wants to get treated like trash for pennies."
Yassss!!! Working is great, what is unacceptable is sacrificing your safety and sanity for $8-12/hr or less
also = "no body wants to have to move for a job just to be fired only 3 months later" and = "we never respond to people applying for jobs,or turn them down based on a stupid made up corporate mumbo bs of being 'over qualified'"
It is true. Nobody wants to work. If you could stay home and do whatever you like while someone auto-deposits money in your bank account, be honest... you'd do it. Nearly everyone would.
If you wanted to do it so much, you wouldn't need to be paid.
So when you go to a prospective employer, you're selling your abilities and time, probably out of necessity. Odds are pretty good it's not something you *want* to do so much as "are forced to do and tolerate". People should not lose sight of that.
It's called "work" for a reason.
No, too many people do NOT want to work They want to be TikTok influencers, marry a 6-figure man, play video games.
I once was Fired&Rehired the same day.
I was 19 and working at a populat fast food restaurant.🍔👑
I had been there for a few months and had developed a good relationship with the general manager. & because of this, I went above and beyond to help out.
One day the GM hired a new employee and wanted to get them started ASAP because we were short staffed. Only issue was that it took 2-3 weeks to get uniform shirts and the only shirt we had was very small. There was no way it would fit the new hire and this meant they would not be allowed to start. The new hire was also distraught to hear this because they had children and waiting 3 weeks to start would mean they wouldn't see a check for over a month from then. Me being much smaller and having a shirt that was a little big, offered my shirt to the new hire. Literally gave the shirt off my back, offering to wear the xsmall shirt until the new uniforms came in. The shirt fit me but was too short to tuck in, which was a requirement. I brought this to the attention of my GM who told me that I was excused from tucking the shirt in and to have any other manager contact her if it was and issue.
Fast forward a few days and I am working the morning shift with a manager that told me to tuck my shirt in. I told him what the GM said and to contact her because I physically could not do what he was asking. There wasnt enough fabric. He informed me that the GM wasnt there and he was the one in charge of the shift and if I wouldnt tuck my shirt in then I was fired fir insubordination. I told him he was asking for something I was not able to do and he went on to fire me.
After I left I contacted the GM who gave me my job back and had a meeting with this manager that fired me. The manager who fired me quit after I was rehired because he felt it challenged his authority. Something stupid like that.
Any reasonable person would see that this shirt was not long enough to be tucked in. The manager was on a power trip and didnt like being told no.
I (40ish) got a part-time fast-food job for extra money. My manager (22ish) was great. First manager ever to tell us NOT to use our break time to go to the bathroom. I worked the window and had to use the restroom but it was around the time she sent me on break so I asked if my break was soon because I had to go to the restroom. She said "oh yah, go to the bathroom and then come clock out for your break."
Confused, I said "what" and she explained that our job is stressful and she wants us to use our breaks to relax, not necessary bodily functions.
I worked in the medical field and professional jobs my whole life and had never felt to respected as I did in that fast-food place.
Going potty falls under an unpaid break in some jobs? That’s appalling.
I'm retired now, but actually looked into the CA labor code about bathroom breaks. It said employers could not require you to take break time to go to the restroom.
We love to see it! And if this is any indication of her management style, she must have been a dope manager. 🫶🏾
Well, you’re lucky any fast food place I ever worked I didn’t even get a lunch break. They said your downtime in between customers was enough even if it was only a couple minutes…
@@NunyaNomi Yes, there are states were that's legal or no one will complain to labor about it since it's widely done at low pay jobs.
The 1st lady held composure so well. She even politely asked for feedback. Really wanted to her unleash her feedback on them.
I’d be so mad if I was her. Completely uprooting and moving to get fired. I hope she’s doing well!!!
I'm glad she was telling them the facts that she moved for this job they knew That! Acting all innocent we don't have the budget yada yada thats some bullllshit!
On the time theft, I once worked in a small restaurant as a waitress/hostess/dish washer/food prepper/baker. The Red Sea had made a surprise visit on the morning I went in to work, and so naturally, I ended up going to the bathroom more than once on my shift. My cook/manager, a woman, reprimanded me for it and told me that I "should take care of that stuff before I come in to work because it's a waste of time." 🙂 My respect meter had never dropped so fast.
Oof I too have an Auntie Flo story for you. About 8 years ago I was working at a big American company. My supervisor was a lovely woman who cared for her team like a mama bear. While she was on vacation, another lady supervisor stepped in to cover that position. One day Aunty Flo paid me a visit and I kid you not I couldn’t move because of the cramps, so I told this supervisor that I couldn’t come into the office because I could barely sit up straight (mind you, this was before WFH was even a thing, and this job could absolutely be done from home but that’s a story for another time). The thing is, I didn’t think I would have to get a doctors note for one “menstrual day” because I thought that this young woman would understand me. Fast forward 2 weeks, my supervisor returns and she calls me into a meeting room to tell me that I’d been written up for taking a medical leave without an official note. She was so apologetic, telling me she would have handled this differently and would have never written me up for this, but the deed was done and I had to sign it. To this day, what pisses me off the most is that the “acting supervisor” who issued the write up didn’t even have the guts to see the thing through-instead, she left the surprise package on my supervisor’s inbox for when she returned from her holidays. What a 🐍

I once was hired to fill a position vacated by someone who knew budget cuts were coming. No one told me, so I quit a job, worked at the new one for less than three months and then was laid off. This was during a period of very high unemployment so no new job to be found. I volunteered to help a friend who was trying to start his own company and after a few months that was going well enough I started getting paid. We grew the company and I stayed for the next 36 years as VP, initiated international sales and visited 37 countries developing our dealer network. That lay off was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Talk about a job glow up!!! Awesome!!! ❤❤
This just happened to me. A place let me go over minutiae. I really liked the opportunity they just had no tolerance for my disabilities. I was making $21 an hour. Now I’m at a new place that pays $25 an hour and isn’t so micromanagey that I even have to bring my disability up.
I just watched a video talking about the movie Sliding Door, one door closes as another opens.
That's so cool.
Is your company hiring?
Who knows, maybe watching soon-to-be Mrs. Charlotte will be my "lay off glow up."
“Is he reading a script?”
Yes, he absolutely is. Most of the time HR writes out a script in these situations to avoid law suits. If the wrong thing is said or even the right thing in the wrong way, it can open up the company to law suits. There’s usually also scripted responses to FAQ as well as a meeting with HR before hand about things you can’t say. It’s not personal, but it’s also super dystopian.
I've had to read scripts before. They are also there to protect the person delivering them. Do they sound robotic? Sure, but end of the day I need to protect myself.
Just came here to write the same.
are the regulations for canada or US
my job is based in Canada but a US company and I've been wondering why HR has so much control over things that would usually be a management issue.
from my little knowledge in a company with an active HR beyond where i am working. HR is supposed to work for the people more than the company..
let me know if I'm wrong
It's not hr is legal and law and is write by a lawyer who only studied hr law
@@chelseashannon8830 In most company/business/academic institutions HR is there to protect the institution not the employee. If you go to them actions will be taken to protect their butts. If you are called in by them you know your butt will be red
Side note, I've heard many instances of HR's being very loose about giving first infraction in writing warnings. If actual infractions occur later it opens up their options on what actions they can take since it will be a second+ on record
For like 6 months at my current job I was required to write down and track every thing I did to the minute. I LOVE my job... but they were especially concerned about my bathroom breaks because apparently taking 10 minutes in the bathroom 2x a shift was too long... (I have medically documented gut issues... it usually takes longer but I timed myself at work so that I wouldn't "inconvenience " anyone.) Hearing you say "20 minutes to take a shit is normal" (paraphrasing) made me feel SOOO much better, you have NOOOO idea. Lol!
You "go" girl❤ Don't let them get you down. I don't know why companies spend so much for employees to keep track of their every moment. It's enough to give their employees gut issues if they don't already have them!
Some jobs need this, medical, where drugs are everywhere and pvulnerable patients are involved, or if you're a convict, and some ex-cons but don't treat everyone like a convict right off the bat. It dehumanizing people and literally makes them sick.
The mistreatment corporations get up to!
@@Erika-gm2tf exactly they put so much pressure on us to get so much done every minute, that I have a stressed tummy every day
So my husband and I are Aussie. He's a software developer and he worked remotely for about 3 months for an American company and then got fired on the spot for no real reason.
EXCEPT you can't just do that in Australia unless you are a casual worker. Cause it's a shitty way to treat people. Basically someone in Aus was like "lol nah you can't just do that" to the company. They had to pay him an extra two months that he didn't have to work.
You can fire someone, but there has to be a good damn reason and reasonable notice. America is absolutely wild with the way they treat employees.
@@UnExcited42at will sucks. My husband was let go post probationary period no cause no notice effective immediately earlier this year. Also didn’t get his last check until over a month later. He was a teacher in public school.
I fell through one of the loopholes in that law when I was fired from a job I'd been at for 5 years after new owners bought the business. Fair Work told me that because the owners were new, it counted as a whole new job and you have to be somewhere for 6 months before you can claim unfair dismissal. The reason they gave me for firing me was "we have no more shifts for you" which was pure BS because I was the only one there who did what I did. They wanted to hire their friends.
They had changed me from part time to casual and also tried to stiff me on pay but at least I was able to get the $800 they owed me.
I was devastated because I absolutely loved that job and I had learned so much about it on my own time, mostly because I found it so interesting.
It was a unique job and there are only two other places the same as where I worked in the whole country, both in different states.
I was mad about it for ages afterwards.
It depends on the State you're working in.
@@MojoPup that's fair, but from my understanding it's much worse than Australia across the board. Even the fact you don't have legally mandated at least four weeks leave a year is crazy to me. England is 6 or 7? That's the minimum requirement. Australia is 4 and it never feels like enough!
My partner and I are in Australia also. He was forced to quit. Probably because they knew they could not fire him. He has brain tumours and isn’t that smart and I was SO MAD they took advantage of him in this way. When he came home and said he lost his job (just after Christmas) I was so flipping mad! I am a disabled pensioner and he is my carer so it was really bad that happened. They told him that he had to agree to quit and be paid, or they were gonna fire him and not pay him anything. All because he swore in the workplace… which is so unfair because everyone swears in warehouse jobs. The real reason is that they didn’t like his flexible workplace agreement so that he could care for me… it’s been 1.5 years and he hasn’t found another job.
She did an excellent job with her second question. Getting them to admit that she did an excellent job for them and that her firing had nothing to do with her performance is an excellent piece of evidence. If she had any type of contract, she could possibly sue to get at least her relocation costs back.
They didnt. Go back and listen again. They said her getting fired had nothing to do with her performance. HR isnt stupid, they arent going to say, "you did an excellent job", so you can sue them for getting let go.
Most companies pay relocation costs. But id sue for the hardship
@@Sharayah144 Yea but usually there's terms like you have to pay back some/all of the relocation if you don't work there long enough
No body has the time or money to sur
@@Sharayah144unless her position was facing a shortage of applicants and her skills were highly sought after, I'd seriously doubt that the company offered her a package to move. I would think it is much more likely she was looking for positions in different locations and was happy to get one. Especially because she is young. Not saying relocation doesn't exist, just the frequency.
Was fired from my absolute favorite job. My good friend and coworker and I took a day off. During that day her Mom was rushed to the hospital and ended up passing away. I'll never forget that day because when she came out of the hospital room and told me she had passed she collapsed into my arms. Her Dad had passed when she was very young so she had to do all the funeral planning alone. Well I took the rest of the week off to help her. When I got back to work an idiot coworker made a snide comment about how she was incapable of dealing with it on her own. I was pissed and said things back basically told him try dealing with the death of his own mom (who also worked for the company) and see how he likes it. I was then accused of making derogatory remarks and fired. A few weeks later I ran into one of the owners and he told me the company was falling apart without me and they were selling it. Made me feel better for sure.
Yass, I love the ending! And I hope your friend is doing a bit better😢
You did the right thing. Jobs can be replaced (even though it’s hard). But a friend needing you like that is once in a lifetime
You're definitely a real one for sticking up for your friend. Good on you dude!
I totally agree with the man with the cleaning business, he handled everything right. If they got caught twice now, it makes you wonder how much they’ve been doing the job switch for people who didn’t have evidence.
When I was 17 working at mcdonalds, I had ti use the bathroom and my manager said not yet. I snapped that if everyone else could take 10 minute smoke breaks every hour, I as a non-smoker should get to go to the bathroom more than once a shift
I once told my boss i had to use the bathroom when i worked at wendys years ago and they told me i had to wait even tho we were slow. When i finally was able to use the bathroom i figured out i had started my period and was covered in blood including threw my pants. I then told my boss i need to go home because she wouldnt let me use the bathroom and i started my period she had the audacity to ask if i was coming back to finish my shift. No i was not i had to shower and wash/dry my pants and only had 3hrs left of my shift. If she had let me use the bathroom when i first asked i would have taken care of it and not had to go home in the first place.
I take smoke breaks and tell every single new employee on shift with me that as far as I'm concerned they too can have equal time in breaks, smoker or not. I have only one girl that took me up on that after I told her she is entitled to a 15 min break every 2 hours. So she takes 15 with a snack, a book and her air pods in. Our manager (who takes a smoke break every hour) hates it but can't do anything about it cause they know I got my co workers backs, I'm 60 in 2 years and have no effs to give anymore.
Reminded me of when I was a pregnant manger in training, and they told me "I don't think we can let you go to the bathroom.
They had me in back cash for 6 hours and I had 3 more hours left, while pregnant with twins. I couldn't even stand for the whole shift.
They were later corrected when the GM overheard what had happened. After that they would let me go whenever I needed with just a few minutes to get a new drawer
@terramarini6880 You're amazing. Thank you for being THAT kind of manager. You types keep us all sane. ❤
@@QueerBootlace I am not a manager but I am an employee with a long tenure (I have been there longer than the owner) and they don't want to lose me.
I had a meeting like that once. I stopped the person talking and said "So you are laying me off. Let's skip the script please." She replied "I am not allowed to."
Just walk out.
I was gonna say managers are employees that get told what to do....they have to toe the line the same as all of us. It doesn't mean they don't care or don't hate laying you off. It isn't about the manager. It is about the company /system they are in ...
One of my favorite quotes is, “boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I shit on company time.” 😂

Nowadays, it's more like "boss makes $400, I make a cent, that's why I cannot afford to pay rent" T^T
When I switched the company TP from Charmin to normal TP the pooping on company time went waaaaaay down. We had guys missing for up to 45 minutes.

@jamielivingston7765 .... So
The toilet paper makes the difference in time? Always thought guys who stayed in there that long were taken a really long Dump or just on their phone too long... Are you saying they're using the toilet paper and playing with their ass that whole time... It does explain a lot of the toilet clogging after they come out.But dang I never thought about that😂
throwback to the time i told my manager at walmart ahead of time that i would be going on a two week trip , just for him to forget he signed off on it and let everyone know i quit and stopped showing up.
then when i got back and showed up for my scheduled shift, my name was crossed out on the board and everyone thought i'd been fired or quit 🥰
In 2021, my dad was very sick and was not expected to recover. My sister and I were both working two different jobs and kept our employers updated on what was going on. When my dad passed away, neither of us were going to be at work for a while as we were grieving and needed to be with our family and have a funeral. I remember not being able to find anyone to cover my shift the next day, and when I showed up for work, my manager was shocked that I showed up. She told me that she didn’t expect me to be able to work for a while and that she’d get my shifts covered. Everyone was so kind and even called to check on me. At my sister’s job, the managers were not so kind. They were sympathetic for the first day, but that expected her to be at work the next day after we just lost our dad. She was a wreck and wouldn’t have been productive at all. While we were out of town for the funeral, her boss called her and let her know that she no longer had a job. That just goes to show that some people care more about having people work for them than they do about the people who work for them.
I'm so sorry about your dad 😔 And that's a discrimination case right there for your sister! (or unlawful termination, or something like that)
So sorry to hear about your loss. This reminds me of when I found out about my cousin’s death on my way to my retail job and had to call in to cancel. I was taken aside by my manager when I returned two weeks later to say next time I needed to give more notice.. next time my family member dies????
@@ehSHABUTIE wooow! I'd be like "yeh, sure, I'll tell my family that if they're deciding to suddenly and unexpectedly pass that they need to let me know at least 2 weeks in advance so I can pencil it into my work schedule" ffs! Some managers need to be relieved of their store keys and sent for some human training. I'm sorry for your loss 💜
I absolutely cannot imagine how stone cold and heartless you have to be as a human being to do that.
this working environment is absolutely toxic.
@@ehSHABUTIE I swear that some people just don’t have any empathy at all.
As someone who worked for a family friend who owned a cleaning company, that man did the absolute right thing! It is a HUGE liability to allow an unauthorized person into someone else's home/business!!! They can lose their license and insurance/bond... The owner of the cleaning company is 100% liable for any injury, theft, damage in that property, he let it slide once, that was gracious as it sounds like that woman was a trusted employee that he had a good working relationship with, but for her to go behind his back and do it again shows she cannot be trusted, and she AGAIN lied to him, he had no choice but to let her go, she could no longer be trusted!
I got a job as safety coordinator with this company, got all their requirements from their safety audit up to par, made it through the 3 months probation and got the “we’re happy to offer you a full time position” speech just to have the owner decide I was no longer needed a couple days later 😂 the same lady that was “so excited to have me join the team” had to come tell me “sorry, it just isn’t working out” in the same week 😂 he ended up in a pretty serious court case due to a bad safety incident, which he tried to blame on me even though the incident happened after I no longer worked there. He didn’t win. Karma can be lovely
We should all be lawfully allowed to secretly audio record people to protect ourselves.
I got one, have any one worked on a job where your the only employee, and without a say, the owner sold his company without telling me, almost got arrested for trespassing. His only excuse was "Oops I forgot".
When a manager and hr person gives you that "company restructuring" line, it means that the company overextended itself in a frenzy to expand, the expansion failed, and now they have to dial everything back because upper management has mismanaged everything.
I don't apply for jobs that hint at or require relocation, not with how companies treat employees these days, and the first clip really highlights why you shouldn't.
There's nothing to make me feel secure with that kind of commitment to a company.
It also means the CEO just gave himself an obscene raise. That's the attitude in America now, worthless CEO's get multimillion dollar salaries, raise prices, then fire 20% of the staff.
In my professional experience the new paradigm in companies that don’t sell tangible products is to constantly chase success through reports/rebranding/shifting priorities. New executives come in, announce a new “vision”, reorganize, fail and leave. Lather.Rinse.Repeat.
That was the first thing I thought. You make budgets annually, so how does this company NOT know that they don’t have a budget for new hires? Until just three months later?? Absolute mismanagement all around.
Happened where I worked. They thought one great financial year meant growth, did a hiring frenzy, bought more desks, computers etc to hire a tonne more, and then 2-3 months later did their first redundancy in May 2023. Then another Dec last year, and another after the Easter holiday. Plus a couple of people laid off in Thailand and the US
I mean, I've worked where I hired people then the next month was told the outwork was being eliminated. So it's possible that it happened.
This happened to me twice at two different companies
That girl has every right to sue because you can’t change business strategy in just three months she uprooted her entire life. My heart goes out to her and I’m usually the hard butt 💩 in all these comments.
I was thinking the same thing. Idk if the US has any laws regarding this, I have heard of it happening before but not sure what the outcome was.
@@yvonnenesler5540 Usually you can't sue because most states have the right to fire employees at any time for any reason. Most companies also have probation periods of a few months where they have even more right to fire you for almost any reason. There are protections if it can be proven it's discrimination but not for forcing you to move long distances.
She can only sue if denied the manadatory severance or that determined by the contract. No law says that they can't fire you. Business conditions change.
She likely wouldn’t get severance in the US, they very strategically fired her within her probation period that is likely in her employee paperwork.
27:52 I've been a cleaner for almost a year, now, and the level of trust that goes into this job is something that people don't understand or take seriously. It's probably easy for most to look at residential cleaners and assume we're too stupid to do more than basic chores, or dirty and gross because we handle garbage and clean toilets. But consider this: we are in your house - often unsupervised - and you are asking us to put our hands all over your valuables. I know my client's kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom habits. I know when they come and go, and in one case where their kid goes to school. Service workers have to get WAY up in your business in order to serve you, and that doesn't frighten people nearly enough.
@@EmnM2010 I see you ❤️🩹 Cleaning is a a huge trust between cleaners and client. Even if my mom’s boss were to get rid of the company, (she’s the only employee and the boss keeps it running as long as my mom wants to clean,) but all those clients would still keep her as a cleaner, since she’s been cleaning most of their homes for almost two decades.
I’m a corporate cleaner and have a nice regular schedule but vendors and quite a few others look down on me, because I’m just a cleaner but I do a damn good job!
I've never understood why more people don't get this.
It's bonkers that so few people appropriately value the humans who have direct access to the most intimate aspects of their lives, _while_ performing the very labor that the clients _don't want to do._ That should command _more_ respect, not less.
I'm sure there's a terrible explanation for the way society treats those we depend on the most. It's probably a horrid combination of racism, classism, an aversion to vulnerability and dependency, willful ignorance, and outright stupidity.
It would greatly improve our lives if my partner and I could hire someone to help us with cleaning our home. Unfortunately, one of the biggest reasons we need help is precisely why we can't afford it. I'm disabled. Hubs does so much extra work to take care of me, has a higher threshold for being bothered by mess, and is a minefield of significant childhood trauma that's wrapped up in chores and appearances and expectations. I do what I can, when I can, but I physically cannot keep up with everything that needs to be done on an ongoing basis.
You're a gem. In a fair world, you would have all of the leverage. Anyone who didn't appropriately respect you and your work would be ineligible for your services. 💙
This! The one thing I've been told is never piss off your cleaners or the person who handles your food.
@@omalahboo3163it’s actually the main reason we don’t have a cleaner. Finding one I can trust 100% is hard. They will see my habits (even the gross little secrets everyone has) and will have access to my home unsupervised and entering very personal spaces most guests will never see (bedroom, study).
Why people think this hard work is beneath me always baffles me. The reason I consider this service, is because I want to spend my non-working hours on other things.
@100samanthamariegreat advice. Thank you for looking out for her.
I had a small cleaning service for over 10 years, NEVER would have had this issue!
Every person I hired, their training started with cleaning my home and worked with me personally on clients resident’s home.
The guy who had to fire the Mom and son shouldn't lose any sleep. He did the right thing. He warned them. He also seemed really nice about it.
Agreed. He warned her not to do it again, and she did it anyway. She's not only dishonest but also unreliable, and she cost him money.

Also, he now doesn't know if this is just the time they finally got caught again. And as a customer, I would be extremely uncomfortable if I was told a woman was coming to do a job, and a man showed up. Especially since I am home alone a lot of the time when my hisband is at work.

I had a contractor that would hire new workers of Craigslist almost weekly and send them to my house. They would leave for hours and leave all the lights and electronics on, which racked up $400 electric bills, they, hooked my toilet up to the hot water line, apparently because they busted the cold water line, which melted the seals of the toilet. Sealed up the walls without turning on the valves to the tub and sink. Installed the tub too far from the wall so the fixtures can't reach, and so many other things. I came home to water pouring down onto my kitchen stove 3x's!!!...$30,000 and 8 yrs later I'm still working to undo the damage. Vet your workers folks!
OMG what an absolute nightmare! Sounds like the maintenance guy at my old apartment. They put the toilet in crooked before I moved in. Manager showed me when I first came to see the apartment, a few weeks before I moved in, and said they could fix it if I wanted. I said no. I just needed to move. Maintenance guy wasn't there when she showed me. Months later, he accused me of moving the toilet and insisted. I told him what the manager had said and he insisted she hadn't. Well, he didn't know that I had taken photos of my visit so I could show my friends the place. I had a dated photo that predated my lease, and took a comparison shot to show it was the same over a year later. He never pushed it, so I didn't need the evidence, but I had it if he had. He got fired soon after. Turns out his game was to charge the landlord for "repairs" and buy supplies that he then used himself.
I had been fired for a job (retaliation for going to HR and discrimination for asking for maternity leave) only to have the recruiters reach out to me about the totally awesome job opportunities a couple months later. Lovely.
They probably forget who worked there in the first place. We’re that disposable.
At one of my current jobs I feel like they forgot I worked there.
One time they did. Years ago after an event I was cleaning a stairwell when the lights went out. I had no flashlight or cell phone. I took me a while to realize they were not going to tell me that all the employees must have clocked out and left. I picked up the cleaning supplies. Left the stairwell. Put the cleaning supplies away. Got my stuff. Clocked out. Went home. No one apologized.
FYI 3 months won't qualify for unemployment most the time. Companies do this to complete a job. Job done , project employees gone. Core staff is all that stay. New project, new round of cheap quick labor available thanx to the internet.
This is such cruel behavior.
Happened to me once in a big hotel in my city.
I applied for the position as head of the housekeeping. I was shown around the hotel, got to meet a few employees and told what the job overall entailed. Then, they told me they would like to have me work for 5 days, to see if I would be a fit... During holidays... In the restaurant, as a waitress.
I was confused and asked why and was told that this would be due to the fact that they wouldn't have a supervisor for me in housekeeping to see my performance, but in the restaurant they did.
Mind you, I was really young back then and new to the world of jobs and exploitation.
I agreed and let me tell you, they worked me to the bones every day from morning to night, because they were severely understaffed and the restaurant managers liked to go on smoking breakes for 30 minutes or more.
On day four I had enough and called the person who I had my job interview with. I had to call him repeatedly, because he either wasn't available or didn't bother to call me back or found other reasons to avoid me. I told him directly that it should be clear, after the last three days, that I would be willing to bust my butt to make up for the understaffing, make the customer happy and show a professional performance overall. He agreed but told me that I have to work in the restaurant still to complete the 5 days. I told him that the 3 days should be enough and I won't be coming in again and work the last two days in the restaurant, if he can't tell me now if he will be hiring me or not, because at this point it was clear that I only was used to make up for the stag missing during the holidays. He started stumbling over his words, tried to sweet talk me and that he gladly would have me at the restaurant for dinner with him, to talk about everything, after I worked the 5 days to completion. I refused and that was that.
Afterwards I found out that the position of head of housekeeping disappeared after the holidays and the guy, who I had the job interview with, left the hotel.
The company should be responsible for a severance pay
Except my contract says you have to pay me 3 months or you get sued.
Criminal behavior
The young man who's running the cleaning company sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders. He definitely seems like he's gonna run a respectful and proud cleaning business. Good on that guy for standing up for himself and his customers. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
On case # 1, no script; they read from a legal/ HR memo to ensure no foul ups. Obviously a layoff…
The first girl was right to ask. When my husband and I relocated to France for a job that he'd gotten, nowhere did they say that the job was only for a year. We left England after ten years, having had a very good life there and a career; and then moved to Paris for said job. He then was told that they didn't need him anymore right before his one-year anniversary in the position, and the boss told him that they had always thought of him as a temporary employee because they only needed him until the boss was done supervising some construction somewhere else. But the boss's wife still wanted us to keep on renting the overpriced flat that came with the job. smh. We moved out within the week of him losing the job since there was no way I was going to keep on paying her any money when they had not been upfront with my hubby.

I fired a guy today for no showing a client twice. All he had to do was go get 1 signature and then send the document back to my client and he lied about it both times.

This is completely fair. If sh*t happens and you can't show up, at least be honest about it. If you still get fired, at least you'll know you were fired for being honest and decent instead of fired for being dishonest.

I had the opposite of not being trained, they sent me with a guy for the first few months to learn the ins and outs and said they would let me know when it was time for me to be out on my own.. Well, a year later they asked me how i liked it on my yearly review and I said "It was good but can't wait to be on my own" , they all had their mouths drop and were freaking out that they forgot to take me off training!!! 😂 😂
The singer didn't forget her shoes. She changed her mind about the shoes she chose to wear. but wouldn't swap because her own were too good for the "help".
This reminded me of Elmo's, "Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time!" 😂
Your boss ads much more value that you do. That's why he or her gets paid more. How would you like to work your way up to a higher position and then make less money so those contributing less and with less experience can get paid more?
But why does the boss while on company time need an hour or more business lunch and an hour more to play golf while discussing business? And make millions of dollars while the employees cannot afford to live and work at the same time?
@@florenbaron7111 HA. that's a good one. you should do stand-up!
@@florenbaron7111No.
First, wage workers tend to make less than hourly for the amount they work.
For example, Dominos managers are quite open about the *fact* that drivers tend to make more than them.
Second, a good amount of bosses and managers can not do the job they manage.
For example, the manager in this video that couldn’t even schedule properly. If you *know* an hourly employee is not going to be in the state, scheduling them is either laziness or incompetence. I vote both.

She won’t get severance pay nor unemployment. She wasn’t employed long enough for either one. And she moved for this job, so if it’s in another state, then the new state will most likely require at least six months employment to qualify for unemployment. I feel so sad for her.
If she had worked the required quarters to be eligible for unemployment on her prior job, she would be eligible.
@@hollybarnes842 not if it was in another state.
@@Wake-the-Woke Yes. She's eligible for unemployment even if the prior time worked is in another state. I've literally seen this happen multiple times. Even had one guy quit his job, move after quitting to another state and then file in the state where he never worked -- and got paid. Also, whether or not she's eligible for severance (in the US) is completely dependent on how the company set up their severance plan. There's no set rules - but most decent companies would still pay severance to someone being let go as part of a reduction in force even if they only were there for 3 months. The rules are different in different countries.
@@Nelle606In NJ, you would have to work for 20 weeks before becoming eligible and lost your position through no fault on her own. Perhaps the person you spoke about, had been laid off his previous job before being laid off his current one. You can collect unemployment from previous employment if you meet the criteria.
@@hollybarnes842 that’s what I’m trying to say. In no state (thati know of) is 3 months eligible for unemployment.

Timesheets and codes are a thing. We use them to calculate pay for shifts when employees work evenings/nights/weekends. Or training students. However ours are pre-printed out and we sign. Wrong codes are crossed off and correctly transcribed.
That last one really got under my skin. It wasn’t just an “oops” - she straight out lied to her boss when asked. That would completely break my trust. COMPLETELY.
Friendly (US-based) HR person here:
If you are let go from a job due to restructuring (i.e. not due to violation of company policy or very serious performance infractions), you can apply for Unemployment Insurance through your state.
DO NOT do the “you can’t fire me, I quit!” If you quit, it’s considered voluntary and you will be ineligible for Unemployment.
Some states you have to work a certain number of weeks before you are eligible for unemployment.
@@jeanams07 Yes, this is also true. If my memory serves me right, most (if not all) states, you need to have worked at least 12 months consecutively to be eligible.
And they can still deny your unemployment
@@gunfighterzero The company can, however, the state requires that the company provide evidence as to why the employee was terminated. If the company lies and says, “They quit”, they will need to provide their resignation. If the facts don’t line up, the state will investigate, usually culminating in a call with a judge to oversee the hearing.

I was a receptionist for a family owned portrait studio in my early 20's. One day the wife pulled me aside to let me know that her husband would like me to limit my restroom breaks to my lunch and two 10 minute breaks.

Interesting sociology fact: Generally speaking, children raised in working class families are taught to be more compliant and obedient to those in power (i.e., bosses and managers), whereas children raised in middle to upper class families are taught to be more questioning of authority and assertive of their needs. That is a great example of the social capital that people are born into. That said, knowing about this disparity helps us to adapt and hone the skills we need to advocate for ourselves in the workplace and get the respect and pay that we deserve.
When you will be homeless if you miss one week paycheck you are going to be obedient to your employer. That is why I never let myself be in a situation where I NEEDED each and every paycheck. Nothing better than being able to walk.
Ha, my bosses always hated my questioning policies and procedures, etc….lol. But honestly some of them made no sense. I always wanted to know WHY I’m doing said rule, not just to follow it blindly, as corporate doesn’t always know what goes on in their stores/businesses since most of them never worked their way up, they were hired into their positions. So some policies/procedures made absolutely no sense and made the work harder and take longer than it should have.
I will say tho I was very good as negotiating my pay at most places I worked at. And was always surprised at how little some coworkers made. And then I went into business for myself, where I made as much (or as little) as I wanted, depending in how much I wanted to work. 😁
@@jamielivingston7765 I’m not saying you meant it this way, but to me this sounds a little tone deaf, and that’s coming from someone who grew up in an upper middle class family. However after moving out, even when I lived with family/partners and didn’t pay rent or paid very little, I still was living/working paycheck to paycheck. This may have helped me gain even more perspective, but I don’t think people not having the retail/minimum wage job while prices are rising experience is an excuse to not be empathetic towards people who can’t just make sure they’re not in that situation bc they don’t have that option. Because even before I had that personal experience I still understood that, and would’ve never said what you did or implied that people who are in a tight financial situation are only in that position bc they don’t try or work hard enough or they’re unprepared. That’s just not true, and I could be wrong about how you intended it to come off but that is how I interpreted and felt about what you said. Although I do agree with your first sentence. Imo, no malice intended
What about children whom were raised in 5 stages of life ?
Not just two or three ?
My working class war generation parents were very firm - "you get a job, any job, whatever it is. You knock on doors until you find a job. We are not going to support you if you become a "drop out" (Sixties phenomenom, dropping out). I was told to obey my school teachers, not answer back, and that if the teacher told me off I'd get told off even more at home. Obedience to "authority" figures is what we were taught. My parent respected the Royal family, the government, the whole British system.
I used to work the kitchen at A&W. I was given a key to open up the kitchen and get the kitchen set up as well as changing out the fryer oil, work the breakfast shift by myself, etc... I was instructed to come into work a half hour before I was supposed to clock into work to do the setting up... I was told this by the head chef of the kitchen, she worked there for 15 years... I asked her why I couldn't get paid for my additional time and she said that's just what they've always done.? Like seriously? It's a minimum wage job, pay your staff properly.
Thats wild, stuff like that is crazy illegal. When I worked at Del Taco the shift manager told me to clock out and then finish cleaning and the location manager ripped her a new one. It's an old school attitude to get the most work out of people under the guise of "loyalty" and "proving your worth" but that's not how it works anymore, especially not the way companies panic about liability now lol
That’s against US Federal labor laws. You DO NOT work for nothing. Shame on A&W!
True! I had the same expirience! I would never let myself be treated like this anymore! What if something happend to me in that time? Have they reinsurance? Or it is then my responsibility to pay for myself?? It is ridiculous they expecting free work. One job expected half an hour before and after work free labour. And the other job I did 15 Minutes before work unpaid meetings every working day. So it is a hour unpaid and wasted free time too!
@@qryptid Looking back on it now I should've mentioned something to the manager that hired me to confirm the request to come in early. I was 21 at the time and was just happy to have the job, didn't work there long after that.
This is sooo wrong. If you were injured doing your job, and not timed in, the company can deny workman’s comp.
0:37 of COURSE he's reading from a script. He HAS to read it verbatim in order to avoid legal issues. It's more like 'shark repellent' to keep lawyers away from them.
This is very true. They have people who write this stuff out for them. It sounds impersonal. But there are so many ways that companies can get in trouble when letting someone go. They have to be very careful how they word things.
Regarding that last guy who fired the cleaners... I thought he did a great job with everything EXCEPT for when he told his customer, "... she said you're lying". You can NEVER accuse your customer whether explicitly or implicitly of lying even if they are. You have to rephrase that whole point in another way such as, "I spoke with my cleaner and she assured me she did everything she was expected to do" or words to that effect. The customer can still challenge the point and/or even accuse the employee of lying but at least you didn't accuse the customer of lying. If you're going to do that, you've got to be willing to lose them as a customer right then and there.
When my grandma died, only one dept manager out of six took time to hear me cry about it, and adjusted the schedule so that I could be away until I was ready. She was super caring, made sure we got breaks and shift switches,, got us cake slices for birthdays. She got promoted and moved to a new store, but the boss there hated that this girl cared about staff and customers. He got a bunch of people to bully her into quitting, so they didn’t have to pay out unemployment. No idea where girl is now, but if there are good managers, companies destroy them quickly.
Literally was in a meeting yesterday where I (senior, trained my entire team after everyone left but me) was trying to develop TRAINING MATERIALS and references guides and was told it was not needed and people didn’t need their hands held. And when I reasoned that based on my experience TRAINING EVERYONE SIMULTANEOUSLY including managers, felt that these materials would be beneficial in case that ever happened again, I was told “not to live in the past”. True fucking story. There are people in the corporate world who are worse than allergic to training others they are actively hostile to it. They want people to just come in and sit down and “figure it out” and these same people will hold it against the new people for not knowing what to do. This particular person has a history of driving out new people.
Sounds like a company that company doomed to fail OR fire those people cuz they’re delulu

@jascaf1503 are you the boss? There's no job where you need to stand in the rain for over 45 minutes, or even allow that animal abuse
The amount of people who think 'emotional support' animals are allowed everywhere drives me insane. They aren't. They're allowed for housing. Service animals are the ones that can go other places and require special training.
Especially since there isn't even a place to register them! It's used for housing and (in my personal experience) you literally need a doctor's note.
I was scheduled for surgery that had to be postponed due to low levels on labs. It was pushed out 4 weeks; the week of Thanksgiving in 2022. My boss said she wasn’t sure she could give me the time off. I told her, “I’m always very accommodating when you need someone to work a double or come in early or stay late. You can schedule me that week, but know I won’t be here.”
I'm way more combative these days.😂 Not with my last two managers- they were freaking angels! But about three managers ago, I lost my great aunt- an integral family member from my childhood. I filled out the paperwork to take four days off work so I could travel four hours away and attend the funeral while having a mini family reunion. The A-hole manager said, " she wasn't, like, your mom or anything, so I can't get you that time off." I told him, "Maybe you can't, but that's gonna be on you because that's your job to do that when it's needed. And, I am not asking you for permission: I am TELLING YOU, I AM GOING. I am doing you the favor of letting you, as the manager, know two weeks in advance that YOU'VE got a shortage on that day, and it's YOUR job to fill the position."
He told me I might get fired. I told him, "I might get fired, but you just told me you can't even fill my position for four DAYS. Who do you think is going to rush to take my entire shift after you fire me because you couldn't even cover me taking a few days off? 😅 I welcome you to try to find that person! In the meantime, you know I won't be here that week, I will be back next week. You can let me know then if I'm fired or if you still need me to work my own shift.😂"
Yeah, that dude tried me on more than one occasion. I lit him TF up 😂
In 2004 I resigned my post at a big mobile company. I don't regret it.

The way my chin would be quivering, she is a rock!
Right?! Not an ounce of sass, even asked for Feedback. I'd be giving THEM the feedback.
I think it was less of calmness and professionalism and more utter shock. She had basically upended her life for better pastures, Probably felt better than she had in ages as she enjoyed her new life. then went int utter shock when she realized it was not a joke. She was devastated, She had rent in a place she had just moved to, and depending upon the area, then it would not have been cheap
I've had that happen to me. Started a job. Did a great job. Was complimented by supervisors and yet they than laid me off with many others a few months later. It's one of the most horrible things to feel possible. Reading a script to lay off or fire a person is just horrible.
I know it’s horrible but it just happens sometimes, say they lose a client or something, or they are bought out and there’s a restructure; something has to give, there isn’t an endless money pot.
I do agree they should have made that a lot more personal. There should be some structure of a script for consistency but they should absolutely tailor it to each person
Preformance doesn't matter, money does. A friend of mine was the top earner/preformer in our department and when the company's profits were down he was let go over the 5-6 people who barely showed up and did the bare minimum. They didn't even really need a legitmate reason, good ole right to work bs.
Welcome to corporate America.
Last time that happened to me, I just dropped my manager and asked him straight out, am I coming to work on Monday? And after he told me know, I let him read the rest of his idiotic script from HR.
Was made redundant 3 months after leaving a job I had been at for 4 years. Luckily the company's owner was very empathetic and flew in all the way from the UK to South Africa to give us the bad news. The company was doing well then the Department of Education announced that it would change the curriculum which affected what we did. I was paid 3 months salary plus some severance pay. I started a new job about a month later so wasn't out of pocket at all.
I rememeber years ago, an old manager called over to my co worker "Patrick, what are you doing over there?" ... he replied "Wasting the company's time and money." He was my hero and that moment will live on in my brain until Im dead and possibly after.
Gotta love managers who schedule you when you’re not available. I spent years with a series of managers who scheduled me during my school hours and made me find coverage. My heart goes out to that girl.
Oof I'm going to college in a month or two and I'll be working while doing university full-time. I'm terrified of dealing with managers who could schedule me during my hours in class. How did you deal with that? Do you have any advice for a scared anxious 21 year old?😅
@thayah So I am in that boat, you first give your class schedule like the days you cannot work and then if they call you demanding you work you let them know "I gave you my schedule for classes, so I cannot come into work. I have classes, I think someone else needs hours." And then if they pester, say it again but blunt. "I already told you I cannot come into work those days. It's on the schedule system." And leave it at that.
@@anglepsycho Ok thank you so much! I'll need to set boundaries right off the bat because many jobs demand to be your priority while the whole reason you're there is to be able to pay for school. I've heard many of my peers talk about how workplaces resent you for putting them second to something else and treat you differently based on the perception that "Well your job is not important enough for you so why would I invest time and energy into your training/skills and/or pay you fairly. I'm going to use and abuse you as much as I can until you leave". I'm dreading a similar scenario🤦🏼once my old boss at my summer job in a shoe store got offended because I declined the offer to stay through fall and winter. I was about to start my senior year and needed to finish high school and his response was a scoff🙄
I used to work at a restaurant that was always closed Sundays, and on my availability i had it to where I was not available on that day (it didnt matter but I put it down that way anyways) well mothers day came around and that's a really big holiday for restaurants so they decided we would be open for this day. I heard how for weeks the managers went around asking my coworkers if they could work that day, but they never asked me which I found odd. Well when the schedule finally pops up for that week they had me down to work for 8 hours straight (I ended up staying 9 hours to help close). I normally worked 3-5 hours a shift because I was a busser. I brought it up to my manager that I don't mind working but would of liked to of been asked before hand in case I had something planned with my mother that day. This man looked me in the eye and basically said, "the resturant comes first over your personal life" I was SO tempted to quit right then and there.
@@TheFereldenCat Ooomg they scheduled you even when you weren't available on Sundays? You're a better and more patient and gracious person than me cos I would've straight up refused that shift unless I was in dire need of money💀that treatment is unacceptable I'm so sorry that happened to you now I'm even more nervous about having managers like this
While I agree with the "not how you should fire someone" dialogue, this is how EVERY company fires people. They follow HR scripts to avoid lawsuits and saying anything outside what HR wants said. Companies don't care about you. It's not a family, it will never be a family, it's money and will always be money. Severance after 3 months will be nothing. Unemployment is a fraction of your pay and, depending on the state you're in here in the US, requires more work to get than just working.
Bingo. I wish people would understand this about companies nowadays: They don't care about you.
100% agree, but I wish they would shut up about "being a family" from the interview to the day that they announce you mean nothing. Quit the pretense.
Actually!
Yeah, all companies do this. HR normally requires it.
It's honestly not even about the company not being a family. Of course they're not but the idea that you can't cover your ass AND speak to someone like a human being is just absurd to me.

Once I thought my appendix was bursting while on shift at a bar. I was crying on the floor from pain. Called the owners to say I need to get to a hospital or I might actually die, they told me I could go if I found someone to cover my shift. Some guy got a stretcher from his car, 1 of my favourite clients covered me with a blanket, while I had to call 3 co-workers whilst crying my eyes out before someone agreed to step in for me. Tell me why the clients were our here trying their best to help me and make me more comfortable, all while no one is pouring their drinks, but the goddamn owners couldn't make a couple of calls when I literally said I feel like I'm dying while crying like an absolute baby. Really opens ones eyes. I worked there for another 2 years, 3 years in total.
My mom came to CA to see me the day after I had my first son. A week later, she's getting ready for church, and she's walking around with her blouse on, her shoes on, she's looking for her glasses, etc., and I notice that she has her slip on. I said, "Mommy, are you going like that?", and she said, "Yes, why?" I said, "Where is your skirt?" She looked down and nearly collapsed to the floor from laughter. She had forgotten to put her skirt on!

@SuperK2016 I call my mom “Mama” all the time.
When I was 18 I lost my mom after a traumatic fight with cancer. Fast forward one year, I started a new job at a little restaurant. I told the manager when I interviewed that I could work any other holiday except Mother’s Day that year as it landed on the 1 year anniversary of me losing my mom and I knew I would struggle, especially seeing everyone else bringing their moms in for lunch. Well, I was scheduled Mother’s Day, when I approached my manager he told me “well, the schedule is already out, nothing I can do.” I told him I would not be back. People can be so heartless sometimes. Truly unfortunate.

For the personal assistant, yea I mean she was probably in a role that should have confirmed about the dogs, had a list of things to pack for her boss etc like “personal assistant” is kind of a catch all job. If she’s thinking they’re just friends then sure everyone is responsible for themselves…but if she’s a paid assistant, she’s kinda in the role of looking after her boss too
0:45 Yes this is a typical HR script for firing someone. They are carefully crafted to avoid any chance at the company being sued for any kind of discrimination.
Yes! I’m so glad you said it. 😂😊
Ok, I understand PAs are expected to anticipate many, many needs. However, if you are being a PA to a toddler who might forget their own shoes, that is called a "nanny" not a PA. Giving up her shoes is not in her job description. She is not a nanny.
I'm sure the story is made up. I've seen this person on Charlotte's channel repeatedly and she's always making up stories for views.
I totally agree that the PA shouldn't be expected to give up her shoes. But I'm assuming the person was wearing shoes just not the ones she would change into for the red carpet. Then, it might be the PA's job to bring the shoes she is going to change in to. If I had a personal assistant, I would expect them to my backup and handling things like that as their main responsibility or as a fail-safe in case I forget something on a stressful day. Either way I wouldn't expect her to give up her own shoes but it could have been her mistake that she didn't take responsibility for.
This i agree 💯
@@fluidchantBe an adult and remember your own damn shoes. The grammys is hardly stressful.
Giving up her shoes and being in the pouring rain with two dogs, that would be a HELL NO.
We moved once for my husband's new job (from Alberta to New Brunswick), and the company came to us a few weeks later saying they hired too many people due to miscommunication. And no severance pay, as it wasn't long enough.
So frustrating. But we ended up taking it further up and got him a severance package in exchange for not speaking the name of the company.
It was absolutely horrible - having the rug pulled out from under you like that
it's extra good that the first girl stayed professional and asked about if there was something wrong with her performance, since they said "no, it's on us!" if she applies to other jobs and they ask why she was let go after 3 months, she can tell them what they told them, and sadly some companies do that shady bs of calling your ex-boss to make a background check which is in Germany f. e. ILLEGAL! but that doesn't stop them... and if the ex-workplace dares to lie, saying bs that it was on her, she can proof with the audio that they are Liers, and even sue them for defamation and more.

She looked like she could be Kristen Bells daughter.
That first one is straight up a script. He sounds like a 5th grader reading a book report in front of the class. And she asked the perfect question. And the corporate answer they gave was basically "we don't care". Oh, and Charlotte, there's no such thing as severance pay in the US, unless you're a high-level upper executive or some sort of government job (but not post office)
Sometimes there will be severance packages for lower level employees (but usually people that have been employed for a longer time).
Severance pay exists in the US; it's not required by law but is available by companies if they choose to offer it.
Uh, yes regular jobs do give severance pay in the US and I have gotten it a few times and these were not government jobs nor a high-level upper executive position.
Severance isn't available for all positions, but unemployment benefits do exist in the US
Fired - collect unemployment pay
Quit - gets nothing
Lay off / downsize/ let go- severance pay
That is my understanding.❤
Congratulations on the engagement. I’m so happy for you sis
Thank you so much!!

Charlotte I’m so happy for you I’ve been following you for about 3 years and I love your videos so much
@@MrsWellner Nope. I have watched other videos. She wants to raise her children with a lifestyle that indoctrinates them with degeneracy. Typical modern western woman. Don't post comments If you are worried about "feelings".

The reason they read from scripts when they for people is because, if they're not very careful with their wording, they can open the company up to big lawsuits, especially when on video calls that can be recorded
S1: Everyone needs to start understanding that companies at the end of the day do not care about you. They can lay you off, fire you, and/or replace you. Do not hold any loyalty to these companies. Get your money. And if anything comes by, that's better: take it.
THIS!
Corporate America has been a lousy place to work for the last 25 years or so. Most people's employment was not based on performance but on how well you are liked and by who. Training for roles most places is poor or non existent. Or you get hired for a job that comes with a job description and what you end up doing is nothing like the description. I'm 64 and recently retired and delirious happy to be done with all that crap.
@@sandracastrodad2316congrats!
I quit a job that I absolutely loved in August/september. I had hit my head and for months was dealing with post concussion syndrome. My coworkers messaged me saying it wasn’t real. Then I was being gaslit into thinking that the head injury was MY fault (it wasn’t at all). Then about a month after my injury, I seized for over an hour and got life flighted and stayed in the hospital for a week. Now, the day after I got discharged, I had time approved off to go on my honeymoon that had been planned for a LONG time. I went (dr approved) only to be told when I got back that I was faking the whole thing. I don’t know why I stayed for that long. I ended up walking out after being yelled at for doing something I was told to do and being called an incompetent idiot. Screw you, Lisa. I’m getting my second degree and I thrive on the face you make when I force an interaction with you in daily life.
The HAIR is HAIRING TODAY! 😍 and you’re glowing bestie 🥰 love looks so good on you!
Also, I’m a scheduling manager and the manager definitely forgot to take that woman off the schedule and then told her she had to find her own coverage so the manager wouldn’t have to go out of her way and fix the mistake she made. I forget to take people off days sometimes, it happens, but as the manager you have to own the mistake and either find the coverage or cover it yourself/with another manager. Own 👏🏻 your 👏🏻 mistakes 👏🏻 you are human, they happen, but don’t take it out on the employees. They’re there to help you and make your life easier as much as you are there to help and make life easier for them. It’s a symbiotic relationship 🤝
THIS!!! Ppl need to understand both sides of the coin. Managers that dont think about the needs of employees dont deserve good employees just like employees that dont understand the needs of the biz/managers dont deserve good jobs. If you want "job security" work for the government. No absolute guarantees there but its as close as possible. EVERYONE should treat their career as if they are self employed. Never take the job for granted. Always have a plan B. Always make yourself indispensable.
Unrelated, but her hair looks absolutely stunning
I got laid off bcs my “position was no longer needed”. Got home, cried, opened indeed and there was my job.
Companies like to fire people and then hire their replacement for a lower wage. It's disgusting, frankly.
I am so sorry... my partner is in the same position. They laid off 10+ people but they have the job hiring online 😢
They literally wanna just pay dirt cheap for labor
Position was still needed, they just needed to hire someone who would sign the new restructured 💩contract.
I'm that petty bitch that would send the indeed posting to my previous boss with an email that reads "position no longer needed, HUH???". not even kidding. I would probably do this. I did something similar in the past lol.
Im sure you and MANY others will not like me saying this but YOU were not a good employee. Yes, YOU in the position was not needed anymore. You would be wise to learn from the experience and do a good long look at what you did wrong and what you could improve. You are a grown up now.
I once got a call half an hour before my graveyard shift telling me not to come in a “ they’d overreached their hire quota and had to release me from my duties” and then called me a week later telling me they had space and needed someone like me. Needless to say I didn’t go back.
The first clip- They are not allowed to go off script. It is to protect the company legally. They can't even say "We are/I am sorry". When you go into a meeting with your higher-up and someone from HR, you usually know what is coming. The person from HR usually talks the most and maybe a word or two from the boss.
That's the sucky part about terminating someone's employment. 😐
I just wanted to say that your hair is absolutely gorgeous in this clip. You, of course, are as beautiful as always 💕
Charlotte's hair is the most beautiful hair i ever saw❤
Thank you Charlotte for all the laughs through the years. You helped me more that i can say in mere words. I'm so happy that you got engaged. I wish you the best❤
Thank you Dina! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
@@CharlotteDobre i am having a good day, thank you so much. I hope you too. 🤗
I have hair that is the same texture as Charlotte's and was bullied about it my whole life. I'm 40 and still can't wear it down in public. Thank you so much for this comment.
@@kristiesteele3243 Oh honestly i would Love to have a hair like that. It's beautiful.
There legit needs to be a comedy little mermaid made with @CharlotteDobre playing Ariel sharing the tea on all her sisters of the seven seas relationships ❤😂
Cleaner here! My old cleaning boss would have fired that cleaner on the first offense. There is no excuse to send another cleaner unless you are a supervisor over that cleaner. Not only was the quality bad, but she failed to notify the OP that she would be sending her son. I’ve only had a couple of complaints in the past 18 years, and they still sit in the back of my mind so that I don’t make the mistake again. Have a little pride in your work.
Also..Charlotte, your hair is giving mermaid vibes ❤❤ and congratulations on your engagement!
Totally agree. Also, as a customer I would have been really uncomfortable if I was told a woman was coming to clean and a man showed up.
As a teen I worked as a waitress in the summers and was too reliable. Got called in to cover shifts constantly with never a day off. Finally went out of town for two of my scheduled days off. Manager was livid that she couldn't reach me! Final straw was going to work on Sunday afternoon and being the only waitress to show. Called manager who said that she wasn't coming in to help, I would have to handle it on my own. I told her I was done and left. Years later I came back into town on vacation and ran into the owners who asked if I wanted to work while I was there? Some people are so entitled!
"New accent unlocked!" Lmao! You sounded like Genie in Aladin when he explains why he doesn't bring people back from the dead 😂
