When she said “ we don’t want to make a huge deal out of this what she really means is “ I’m just here to threaten you on my own, no need to get HR involved”….
You're my hero! I sure wish I had seen these before I retired, all this sh*t has happened to me in my work life, so listen up people, know your rights!
Unfortunately they can access your account even if it’s set to private. My former supervisor told me that I was looking for a husband based on what I posted, none of anyone’s business but they do search your profiles. I don’t think they should have the ability to access your account
Veronica is even better at capturing the reality of cubicle culture than Dilbert. Wish I'd had half her quick wit during my 25 years at a Fortune 500 corporation.
I just have to say that I am an absolute subordinate worker of America and I really enjoy my job, all the videos I’ve seen on this channel are nailing it 100% don’t ever stop!!!
If Veronica is an at will employee (which most employees are) management can absolutely fire her for her social media activity. The first amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech only prohibits the government, not private companies, from censoring speech.
PSA: Free speech doesn't protect you as an employee from your employer. Free speech is not freedom from consequences, it's freedom from government censorship.
I just know that Veronica has a hotkey to record whenever someone wants to talk to her. Her boss is gone, and Veronica will be able to retire from the lawsuit payout.
Little did Veronica know that there was a clause in her contact under social media explaining you cannot imply or directly bad mouth a company that you work for
There sure are a lot of content creators stealing these Veronica scripts. But then that's the way it works on RUclips. One person with talent comes up with an idea and hundreds of untalented content creators steal it and unethically try to make money on it. Everyone please join me in blocking this channel.
No, it’s not even Toon Tribe, pretty sure they nicked it too. Ill see if I can find it. Totally agree. These people stealing the content don’t even give credit to the original creator. RUclips are quick enough to shut a video down if you use 10 seconds of a tv clip, but this kind of blatant theft they’re fine with. Just a crap system. Imho, of course
I only got "called to HR" once when my boss claimed I didn't sign off on a document. She came at me like 2 hours after my shift, I hadn't checked my emails because I was so busy and she said I had to sign off before I left. Fine, I usually closely reviewed the documents but, like everyone else, I just looked at the change log and signed. The document was promoted, couldn't have been done without my sign off but she claimed she looked and "didn't see my signature". HR still took her side but a week later she wasn't my boss any longer.
1st amendment only applies to government infringement, not employer .. But as long as she didnt say anything about the company or any employees, she wouldnt be in trouble at work.
As long as you don't mention the actual name of the company (And I would suggest changing up names just to be safe) They can't do anything about it! As long as you're not naming the company and you are not giving away trade secrets and it's all good.
"Throw HR under the bus." 😅 Serious The Office memories. The Case of the Horrible Red Headed Sad Sack. And it was Toby; the Verdict: Death to Toby. Veronica rules.
They should've learned a long time ago not to play with Veronica she ain't with that play play shit. Get they asses my baby you should like I'd call corporate office and let them know before I let in house HR know don't come for me if I didn't send for you, and they would let them know. 😂
This is good advice to protect your rights at work, esp. the part about mentioning your lawyer (mentioning your shop steward is also good) In any case, it's beside the point. Save your mental health. Dump social media, including Tiktok. Tiktok Brain Rot! At least RUclips can be useful for DIY and other stuff.
Here, in Alabama, in the 1970s and 80s and even the early 90s, Veronica would have been fired immediately, so she wouldn't have been able to afford a lawyer. It's a stupid "right to work" state, and somehow that translates into, "We can terminate you any time, no reason required." They also used to maintain wages low, so you could never save enough money to sue, especially if you were the only wage earner in the family.
I work for a multinational. In one of the documents related to internet security they have a little nuggets hidden at the end in the legaless. Basically, it says, "You may not post the name of our company or its logo on any social media. You may also not post about any entity our company does business with" Like all such documents there is a section when you can make a comment about it and anyone that reads through the document can see the posts. I made a post about this section and asking if the company was going to make a master list available to all employees of all entities that the company does business with, updated weekly, so the employees would be able to follow this rule. HR was not happy. I really wish I could hire a lawyer to look over that and see if it is even legal, because I would guess that in the US, it wouldn't be.
l had a nosy boss that wanted to see my college transcripts. l told him it's no one's business. he persisted, so l waited for him to leave for the day, and l cleaned out my desk and started my own business
@@1OKToni yeah, like you know. i have an AS in mechanical Engineering, and a Bachelors in Physics. enjoy your minimum wage pal. the "boss" was someone who had NO degree, but was grandfathered into that particular company.
The manager should have just stuck to "HR is going to be contacting you to set up a meeting" and left it there, or waited until HR wanted to have the meeting and informed her. HR should just verify she hasn't violated policy and hasn't been doing the videos while on the clock or with company equipment. Beyond that, the First Amendment doesn't apply to private companies (to an extent), so the lawyer probably wouldn't be able to do much if she were fired, as it doesn't appear to be for an illegal reason (at this point), Veronica could, however, collect unemployment, as termination wouldn't have been "for cause", as she wasn't making the videos using company resources or on company time, unless she was violating company policy, which she says she wasn't and hopefully verified that before she started making the videos. All that said, I love the videos.
@@SchoolforHackersWhatever we might wish to be the case, the first amendment contains no such exception. It is only applicable to the government. The government could put certain regulations in place to limit valid grounds for termination, similar to those that protect from wrongful termination based on gender, race, and etc., but doing so would likely create a pretty big mess, and have all sorts of unintended consequences. So yeah, theoretically, bosses can fire people for pretty much any reason that isn't specifically regulated, and they can usually work around those regulations easily enough. They can fire someone because of what they wear outside of work, what they say, write, or do. In some cases, it might be justified. If someone was spouting rabid neo nazi stuff on their tiktok and went viral, their employer's best bet is to issue a "this person no longer works for us and we don't condone their abhorrent rhetoric" statement. Generally speaking, a business doesn't gain anything from firing someone because they like ice cream or wear pink, even though they theoretically can, so they don't usually do that. But are we protected from them just deciding that they don't like the cut of our jib one day and letting us go? Not even a tiny bit. Unfortunately, a big part of knowing one's rights is knowing how vulnerable to the whims and abuses of the wealthy and powerful we really are. Heck, even the government doesn't exactly honor the first amendment if it isn't strictly convenient. There are enough loopholes in that thing to hang a mod sized army...
@@gund89123 Yes, def some clarity needed here. What I mean is that outside of work, we have the right to free speech. If an employer tries to block that speech outside of work, they’re in quicksand. But the employer isn’t obligated to keep the employee, so they can point out a problem and terminate at will.
People like her work with attorneys and make up bogus cases to shake down employers. The cases are on contingency so the attorney makes a % of her extortion.
Isn't it always fun when they try to phrase "we want you to stop doing this" as a mutually beneficial and cordial conversation between equals? Personally, I always go to red alert as soon as my boss begins to imply that we are "all in the same boat" here or that something is "for the good of all of us". A groverling boss is a boss who either already f*cked up is about to ask something f*cked up.
And #3 We, the public have no Idea who Veronica really is or where she works. These are cartoon skits, not real people with real faces. Unless someone investigates and publishes who Veronica is and where she works we may never know. Personally, I like not knowing, but even if I found out it would have zero baring on the company unless they are harassing her. She could be doing these uploads from many decades of experience from various employers and it is hilarious because we have experienced the same BS from various employers, so we know it is TRUE.
Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. What ACTUALLY happens 99% of the time is: "Hey Veronica, you're fired." "What? Why?!" "Because At-will employment law says I can fire you for any reason at anytime. And I am firing you now for the reason of 'I dont want you here any more' so yea, buh-bye."
her right to free speech is irrelevant. free speech is against the government, not a company. the right to free speech is when the government is involved and tries to regulate or block your speech. the company can do what they want as long as they dont violate hostile work environment laws.
While this is entertaining, I don't know if its anything more than a fantasy! The unspoken rule for survival and success in corporate America is silence ! Trouble makers get fired!
Nah.. Between Papa John's and ingles?!? THIS IS WHAT I COULD HAVE SAID AS A RESPONSE?! all the Facebook stalking they did with me personally?? I'm pissed now
GREAT, I was hoping a cartoon character would show me how to passive aggressively take on the people around me. I have sooo much latent hostility, especially toward authority figures.
HR needs the guts to stand up to this work terrorist. The workplace or the world doesn't revolve around you. Most people learn that by their mid teens.
Unfortunately for Veronica, private companies CAN fire you for your speech outside of work. The First Amendment only constrains government, not private companies.
Veronica's lawyer is not going to make that phone call. Right to free speech applies to governments and not private companies, as many social media users have found out so she is wrong here.
A private company can't infringe on your free speech rights, only government can do that. Also, inmost every state an employer can fire you for any reason as long as it isn't because of a protected class reason. These videos should be titled "How To Be Unemployed In One Easy Step".
I don't think Veronica understands what freedom of speech actually means in the United States context. A person has freedom of speech when it comes to the government, but does not have freedom of speech when it comes to private entities. So the company should tell her to bring her lawyers.
Exactly, of course free speech is restricted when it harms a 3rd party, which is the company in this case. However, I‘m wondering why it is allowed in the US to film unsuspecting people and later frame them in a negative context on social media? IMHO that falls into the same category.
Only the government is bound by free speech laws, not companies. They can absolutely require that you don't talk about them on social media. They can require that you keep trade secrets. You can absolutely be a whistle blower if there are unfair or illegal practices going on at work, but you're better off taking them to the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) than complaining on social media. Also, most potential employers (at least, for professional positions) will look at your social media presence before hiring you. Bitter complaints about former employers are a red flag. Even if you were totally in the right. It might also undermine your case if you do have to call a lawyer. If this video is purporting to inform workers about their rights, it's way off base. It just has inaccurate information and scenarios. If you think you're being treated unfairly in hiring practices OR in your workplace, or if you have questions about required or prohibited: --Accommodations for disability --Questions during an interview --Accommodations required for pregnancy, labor & delivery, related medical issues --FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act): Getting time off for medical issues for you or a family member --Pay (including the difference between hourly and salaried wages and who qualifies for which, including overtime pay) --Firing/forced resignation --Physical capacity/characteristics required for a job vs those that would be discriminatory --Discipline --References --Harrassment (hostile work environment) --Dress code Go to EEOC.gov. It's got good summaries of all of these and much more--and you can actually do something about a violation there. It's easily searchable, has clear menus. RUclips is great for entertainment, but just understand that it doesn't always have accurate information. Go ahead and rage watch this channel if that's you're thing, but if you actually want to know your rights in the workplace and what to do if they're violated, look for more accurate sources of information. And more importantly, learn how to take action without getting yourself fired. NLRB.gov (National Labor Relations Board) is another good source. Did you know your employer cannot forbid you from discussing your wages with co-workers or anybody else? Not because it's free speech, but because it's protected speech.
Employers can terminate any employee without cause or warning as long as it's not for reasons related to discrimination as set out in in your State, Prov or Fed law. My guess is HR will wait for things to cool down and within the quarter Veronica is sacked, likely with a fair severance. She'll have no case for wrongful dismissal... and her colleagues will breath a sigh of relief.
Love how the managers are so spineless, always qualifying everything, coming short of making any definite statements, and here waffling between 'I' and 'they" pronouns to try and obfuscate which entity is really sort of taking a position about her social media
veronica is not taking shit from anyone!!! we got your back veronica!!!
If only her actual Social media wasn't stolen and put on RUclips by infringing parties.
When she said “ we don’t want to make a huge deal out of this what she really means is “ I’m just here to threaten you on my own, no need to get HR involved”….
“Then if you want to throw HR under the bus…” Veronica is inspiring.
This is how u handle your boss at all times
This is how you get fired
I’m always amazed at how efficiently an organisation can backpedal.
Often the fastest actions you get out of leadership at this type of organization.
Like the manager's slip when she said we/they.
Stop taking up Veronica seconds😂😂
Very good representation of how managers act. A bunch of bullies at times.
You're my hero! I sure wish I had seen these before I retired, all this sh*t has happened to me in my work life, so listen up people, know your rights!
same! I wish I watched all of these before I retired too! I hope the younger generations stand up for their rights at the workplace more often!
This is why you never give coworkers or bosses your social media except LinkedIn, which shouldn’t have “personal” stuff anyway.
Unfortunately they can access your account even if it’s set to private. My former supervisor told me that I was looking for a husband based on what I posted, none of anyone’s business but they do search your profiles. I don’t think they should have the ability to access your account

Go ahead and rage watch this channel if that's you're thing, but if you actually want to know your rights in the workplace and what to do if they're violated, look for more accurate sources of information. And more importantly, learn how to take action without getting yourself fired. NLRB.gov (National Labor Relations Board) is another good source. Did you know your employer cannot forbid you from discussing your wages with co-workers or anybody else? Not because it's free speech, but because it's protected speech.
Employers can terminate any employee without cause or warning as long as it's not for reasons related to discrimination as set out in in your State, Prov or Fed law. My guess is HR will wait for things to cool down and within the quarter Veronica is sacked, likely with a fair severance. She'll have no case for wrongful dismissal... and her colleagues will breath a sigh of relief.
until the colleagues have to share all of Veronica's work. Then they will breath a sigh of exhaustion.
Love how the managers are so spineless, always qualifying everything, coming short of making any definite statements, and here waffling between 'I' and 'they" pronouns to try and obfuscate which entity is really sort of taking a position about her social media
Mmmhmmm lol
WOW
Funny video. Too bad it doesnt work this way in real life. Post what you want. Companies retain who they want.
😂😅😊
There's no sound?
everyone is good, check your phone.
Great as always, but one little issue: the constitutional right to free speech doesn't extend to private companies.
