I went to leave my neighborhood to get on the highway, and go to work ( I live in rural Colorado). There was couple of police cruisers stopping people from getting on the highway without chains. No joke, the storm was CRAZY. So I called my boss and told him what was going on, and I swear I had this exact conversation. I told him my life was not worth coming in so I could serve people coffee. (I was a barista). Got written up. Better than dying.
I also was heading to work in Colorado, but the highway patrol had closed the interstate due to a blizzard. When I called in to work, they actually asked me to “try to come in anyway.” Ummm, no. I don’t think so. 🙄
I really like these videos. I wish they were around when I was younger because they’re really educational. It shows it shows the employee a tactful way of addressing a difficult situation. Kudos to y’all. I’m looking forward to many more thank you.😊🎉
RIP Dodi. She was threatened with getting fired if she didn't stay when the weather was getting bad. Later she was in a horrible car accident and passed away. No one should be forced to work when bad weather is too hazardous to drive to or from work.
Her coworkers should’ve notified her family of the situation that led to her fatal accident. That company and manager should have gotten their butts sued off! I worked at a hospital. The weather was icy and bad that morning. A coworker rolled her truck and still drove the rest of the way in. Our manager couldn’t grasp why she had no intention of working all day, after that. SMH
The manager saw this coming and had asked the lawyer to buy a life insurance policy on their valuable employee, making them collect a cool 2 million dollars tax-free (yes this is legal in the US).
I ran off in the ditch in a snow storm back in the 80s…no cell phones back then..I had to get towed out of that huge ditch and when I got home I called my supervisor to let her know what happened…. Don’t you know that heffa asked me when was I coming in! I politely told her maybe tomorrow! 😂😂😂😂 she was smoking hot! 😂😂😂😂😂
There's a supermarket chain here that has a union but they haven't always been helpful. It all comes down to the union stewards and officers, and whether the rank and file keeps them on their toes.
I'm not risking my life for any company if they want to fire me fire me for no reason I will sue you!my life is far more important plus I am not doing overtime if you're not paying me you will pay me for my overtime or you will have problems.
i went into work during a bad winter storm. 90% of the staff had called out. I was one of the few that live near work and had 4 wheel drive , so I was able to navigate the roads. I did let the Manager know that if the weather got any worse, I would not come in the next day. Guess what? I was told that I would be written up, if I didn't show up. I told them to go ahead. Shows you how much employer appreciate going that extra mile for them.
@@churchofpos2279I feel ya I have a 2 wheeled rear wheel drive truck that I have to put sand bags in the back of just to get around in the winter. If I’m still fish tailing out of the parking lot at my apartment and there’s even a slight chance of more snow/freezing rain than i ain’t coming in and I know that they won’t pay me enough to change my mind (mainly because I would give some extreme amount of money think in the millions 😂)
I had a boss that I asked if it was ok for me to ride in with someone who had a much better car for heavy snow, she started 1/2 earlier. He said no, so when it snowed I called. Then when summer started he was letting a coworker come in early and leave early for FOOTBALL games. I had to schedule PT appts for the same time. He said no. So I sent him a detailed email that stated exactly what had happened in the winter and what was he was doing. I said, "do I really have to go to HR to change my day for this?". He changed his mind and I got to exactly what I wanted. L and D you sucked at being managers and has people. K rest in peace. You were one of the best in all things.
We had an inclement weather policy that referred to when driving bans were declared. Then mgmt tried to get a co-worker in trouble because she lived outside the city and HER town had a driving ban one day in a big storm, while the company was located in the city and the storm hadn't reached us yet so we didn't have a driving ban on yet.
I wish that was the case for me, unfortunately I live so close to work we can see each other. I actually can just walk to work in the worst weather and survive just fine. I had a union job in the past that shut it down in -35 or colder weather as we drove to multiple work sites every day and it was too dangerous.
😂😅😊-Manager spent the night. Get that commitment to pay OT in writing, never work overtime. That team lead needs to be demoted, it's all over her head, retraining is a waste of time. Got nerve to be fed up, QUIT
I had a supervisor put me on for an 8 a.m. shift for the week after my vacation. 1) He wasn't supposed to put me on the 8 a.m. shift without checking w/me first because I had seniority and I didn't want that shift; 2) He was supposed to post that schedule by Monday afternoon two weeks in advance, but he didn't post it until Friday the week before my vacay AND I had that day off; 3) he was definitely in violation of the contract. I read him the riot act when I got in after vacay and was told I was late. Nope, dude!
When there's no one there, you as the manager have to do the job. Pretty clear-cut. I had to do it when I was a team coordinator. That's why I didn't want to be a coordinator anymore.
Yeah, this is why managers get paid more! It's bcz you agree to take on the responsibility of all the employees you are assigned. If they can't come in, it's your responsibility to cover that shift. Hence the better pay that you recieve for accepting that responsibility! I don't understand why ppl think that you get paid more just bcz you are "more important" to the company. It's bcz you accepted the role of taking on all of these expectations! Good for her for going to higher mngnt, to get this cleared up and understood! And I love that they are demoting this mngr, and putting her thru training again! Hopefully she learns her position a bit better, this time around. Lol
Federal law is that all employees must be treated equally. If they write one person up, they have to write everyone up. If they don’t, they have no defense against the lawsuit that inevitably follows.
I had a manager that had a habit of changing schedules willy nilly after they were posted. Schedule changes were to be brought to the attention of the individuals who were affected. After the 3rd time I was threatened with a write up and proof that I was not informed about the changes, I got corporate involved and that manager no longer was an employee. I was not the only one he was f-ing with.
If they write anyone up, they have to write everyone up. Federal law in the U.S. This has been litigated all the way to the Supreme Court and the companies lost every time. They must treat all employees equally. That means if one person gets a write up for the same offense that 50 people committed, all 50 people must be written up.
I don't tolerate BS like this. I don't request days off, I TELL them that will not be there on specific days. It is not a negotiation, and I will gladly do what I have to.
We had that huge hurricane just before this last one. The streets were flooded. I had to just about swim from my bosses car to my house. The next day the called and told me to stay home and safe.
First off, if every single employee calls out because of bad weather, then obviously you can't write up one person out of 50.😂 That is a lawsuit ready yo happen. Yep, go ahead. The manager will be fired. Second, my life, totaling my vehicle versus a write-up or a (safety)point? At one place, I got a safety point for going to a doctors appointment for my back, and they knew this before they hired me. But they get kudos for hiring g a retired vet. I have never heard of a vet without some medical issues. 😂 Ah. If they would listen to themselves. And thank the gods they can't listen to my thoughts.😂
This is why team lead positions at these companies are BS. Do you want to earn 1.50 more an hour but we will make that into salary so you can work 70 hours a week when people don’t show up without overtime? But why nooooottttt!
As a native Californian, I laugh in a winter Donner Pass. Some of the deepest snow in the US happens less than an hour from my hometown. Stop making Californians seem like it never snows here.
It’s been litigated all the way up to the Supreme Court multiple times. They must treat everyone equally. They do have 49 other write ups to do. Or none at all.
What’s the problem with that…? Are you saying only English native speakers can comment? I did not see the mandatory English test to register or log in…
I had a union job that did this and the union backed the company. 6 inches of snow on the ground, freeways closed, dozens of accidents and the union said, go in or get fired. I showed up and the building was locked. Management, Supervisors and Team leads never showed. Eventually, all the line workers showed up. We waited the mandatory hour and nobody that had a key ever showed up. We left. Next day, everyone got written up on the line for not being there. Grievances were filed. The union agreed with the company. Union was voted out the next month. Some unions are worthless.

"Oh, so I assume the other 50 people are getting a write up as well?"
That was my first though too
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Too funny!!!
As much as that might be nice the first few people are dealt with getting anything
Actually, this is an illegal discrimination case. Yes, all 50 people must be written up or they cannot write you up. In the U.S. that’s federal law.

This is why grocery workers need unions
And this is why unions were systematically dismantled. Like being a slave? Just a grumpy 60year old talking...

@@JohnBarry-g5l This is also why nurses and hospital personnel need unions!!
That last skit is on point! That how I was when I was a lead. If I couldn't get anyone in I would stay until someone else could cover.
same when i was a manager. I wasn't happy about it but I wasn't gonna leave my team short unless the manager on shift was practically shoo-ing me out.
@Mizumii25 some people just don't deserve to be leads. Glad you're not part of those some people.
@@Djraven831 10000% agreed! I'm glad you're not either. We need more people like this in the world, especially in higher positions.

That person was definitely in the wrong. It doesn’t matter if everyone else called in, you can’t punish the last person.

Unless you have also written up everyone else who called off, you have no justification to write this last one up.

So, are the other call off's getting written up as well? I doubt it!
