Hi Michael, "Never" is too strong a word. I work for a guy who will fine you (a lot) for following your manager's instructions *if* the instruction doesn't result in a favorable outcome, and fire you if you don't pay. If you file for unemployment after being fired he will fight it and cut a deal with the state to not have to pay if he keeps you on for 7 hours a week. The state is OK with that - "right to work". We have to bring our own toilet paper, take our lunch trash home and if our light bulb burns out we have to buy a new one ourselves. There is no AC in the summer, no heat in the winter, no cleaning service and we are forbidden to clean ourselves - we might break something. The place has not been even swept in maybe 5 years. They clean outside where the public can see, though. If we have an on the job accident we are ordered to claim complete responsibility for it ourselves and hold him blameless. He fires anyone who files for workman's comp. We had a guy fall headfirst down a stairs - fired for filing workman's comp. He drives a Mercedes to work - his "beater". He has a house on the beach and another house in an inland gated community in case the beach is evacuated. Sometimes unions are necessary. Oh, and the state unemployment is around 9%. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
