HR is your company’s version of the police. They can lie, cheat, and steal from you with impunity. Everything you say and have ever said will be used against you. They will always and forever side with your manager unless there is absolutely no other choice.

My experience of right Officer from being inadequate and being on time missing too many days not working. Easy answer quit being a lazy ass

I feel like arbitrators often side with the employee. At least where I live in CA.

Let's say i receive 81 pictures/texts from my boss within an hour on multiple occasions. Or 12 years with a company and thr new manager decides to write me and only me up for responsibilities that my peers are responsible for as well and they didn't get disciplinary actions. Or a blatant lie of a task I had done and wrote me up for it still. Another thing would be, a peer jumped in to help send an email while I was taking time off for a medical injury and I was written up for that as well. I have the medical paperwork to prove my hospital visits as well

I can attest to this, they make it very obvious. Got injured at a job worked through it for the most part. They sent me to their dr, driven their by the safety manager who would force his way to the exam room and or meet with the dr afterwards. On the days i felt good i would go crazy with production. My production was higher than ever. I then got written up constantly for nonsense. Eventually got fired for poor production. I literally couldnt move in my area due to how far ahead i was. They were clearly trying to get me to quit, and made my life miserable. Was for the best though got a much better job and im making 2x as much and I am not breaking my body. Still have constant shoulder pain though.

What if I turned in all necessary paperwork requested and my doctor fills everything out but the employer just never responds?

What part of California are you in? I live in Corona and employer is in Santa Fe Springs.

Don't teust anybody on Earth. Your family, wife/husband, kids, friends and others are not your friends. Trust nobody ever.

Screw HR at Amazon. I wanted to quit but sent me a "involetary termination" to go. POS!

Can you talk about how lawyers cheat you?

Exactly what happened to me at premera! The HR game is very real. Thats awsome that you made a video like this.

I was once called the best hire from my boss..I get injured at work, got a lawyer, got paid, now I get retaliation from my boss, now I have a write up...wth?

My boss said I couldn’t be a manager because…. I go to church

Please make a video on Misclassification! My employee classified me as an Exempt, paying a salary. Although they make some salary exempt employees (not all) to clock in and out like an hourly employee. They hold you to the hourly “daily hours ie 8.5). But if we go overtime or 43 hours (40 plus 30 min lunches) we do not get overtime. Is this lawful? Please do a video on this.

I went to HR once about a dude who was using intimidation, retaliation and racist verbage, not to mention, saying he wanted to exploit me for his out of work activities, then used his kids as leverage as if that was my responsibility. A week later, lawyers showed up and let me know they were the lawyers of my employer and I was laid off after relocating hundreds of miles across the country for this position. Resulting in me being homeless.

Number 6 I do not agree with… it’s better to abandon ship then to wait to get fired. Sometimes they are doing you a favor by getting fired.. you have a better chance of getting unemployment. It will cost the company to pay your unemployment so they will make you want to quit so they don’t have to go through all the paperwork. However, my two cents on this matter is to comply with everything and show them you will improve . Then when it is real busy and everyone is busy that’s when you decide to leave. Your boss or manager will have to step in because you left in the middle of the shift. I have seen this happen and recently as last month experienced it where my supervisor was overwhelmed because she had let go two employees and another one quit so we were down three employees on a busy morning I had to do double duty and she was all,nervous because she had never done what I was doing . Remember in college where at the end of the term you were given teacher evaluation forms to fill out I called them Students Revenge. .. well,I thought no one really read them and they were just tossed side. I was wrong I witnessed them being read and was even shown by the department dean they were taken seriously especially new up and coming teachers . It is the equivalent of a teachers report card.

DUDE IS 100% CORRECT. JUST LIKE LOCAL COPS ON THEIR CARS "TO PROTECT AND SERVE....DOT DOT DOT" NEVER SAYS TO PROTECT AND SERVE THE COMMUNITY...THEY PROTECT AND SERVE THE MUNICIPALITY. HR SHOULD BE RENAMED CYA DEPARTMENT.

Branigan, cold emailing is not just smart, it is necessary. I have been hooked on Mystrika and its ability to streamline the whole process is crazy good. A/B testing with 26 variations was a game-changer for getting the best open rates. My bounce rate has plummeted thanks to its automatic detection feature. Then there is the subsequences-invaluable for follow-ups. All these features in one tool have been a massive plus. Ink a deal with them, and do not look back.

Mystrika has been phenomenal for my email campaigns. Given your audience, Branigan, cold emails might be something worth exploring. Mystrika is set up makes it so easy to manage everything, from email warmup in multiple languages to comprehensive analytics. I can honestly say no other tool has matched its effectiveness. Plus, the pay-once-use-forever model is exactly the flexibility I needed. The delivery rates to tough-to-crack MS 365 accounts? Absolutely clutch. I highly recommend trying it out, it is been worth every penny.

Lawyers could seriously benefit from some expert-level email strategies. That is where Mystrika comes in. It offers a high-quality warmup pool that is second to none. Over the months, managing unlimited sending email addresses has been seamless. Coupled with its incredible AI writing and personalization, you create really engaging emails without intense manual labor. The recent “Cold Email Accelerator” Masterclass guide? Read it, live it, send it. Serious cold emailers need to explore Mystrika, trust me.

Branigan, your video got me thinking about strategies for outreach. I have been running cold emails using DoYouMail alongside other tools, and it is been a powerhouse. The automatic DNS settings take the guesswork out, and the ability to send unlimited emails from unlimited domains is unbeatable. Cost-wise, it is a no-brainer. If you are considering reaching clients this way, DoYouMail should definitely be on your list.

Talking about getting new clients, cold emailing should be in every lawyer is toolkit. For months now I have been using Filter Bounce in partnership with my cold email software, and it is a champion at maintaining bounce rates under 1%. It is sort of peace of mind knowing that verifications are accurate, particularly for Outlook addresses which can be tricky. Honestly, the real-time verification API makes it so smooth. Law practices really need reliability, and I would say sign up and see what I am talking about.

For any lawyer looking to stand out, cold emailing is an edge every legal wizard should wield. Mystrika has revamped my cold outreach with superior analytics. It has a stellar warm-up pool helping maintain email quality. The versatility of preheaders for boosting open rates was something I did not know I needed until I had it. As far as email tools go, you will definitely want to give it a go.

I think cold emailing can be a game-changer for lawyers looking to expand their client base. I have been diving into it for several months using Mystrika, and let me tell you, the detailed analytics are a lifesaver. It really helps to fine-tune which emails are hitting the mark. The ability to personalize with AI writing gives each email a unique touch, and I have been seeing increased engagement. With the provider matching feature, sending emails feels tailored and effective. For me, the unified inbox keeps everything in one spot seamlessly, and it is all under one payment-you gotta try it if you have not yet.

People are sheep...how is anyone that is paid by the same chequebook on the side of the employee??? They are hired thugs and generally absolute cunts.

The only thing human about HR is their title.

You’re video has been helpful.

This was great. I was about to go to HR over not being paid a bonus that is detailed I would receive in my offer letter. I will be careful how I speak about it. Or maybe calll for advice.

Corporate management is a mafia that will never protect employees. Corporate management only protects the company and themselves.

Never sign a write up just tell them I'm not signing it , tell them send it to my lawyer , write ups are just their way of saying they dont like you because you do better than them

What if I got terminated after I resigned from my job. They pointed me out but are currently allowing an employee to stay employed with over the allotted amount of points to get fired

HR has never helped anybody! They’re completely useless! They’re there for management & not you. They should not work for a particular company & be a separate entity..

Fired after boss found out I was a diabetic . Pointed me out and keep another employee that has over 10 points.

Make sure you have union members with you

Yeah I'd like to know more about arbitration

Does that Go the same for private investigative services companies that use the ppl of the community to generate money through the Court system

I just want to keep my job and not get clowned 🤷‍♂️ literally ganged up on cause I care 😂 it reminds me of 22 jump st. He’s trying 😂

Yes, make a video for arbitration .

Talk about vaccine mandates.

We are not protected I was fired for reporting rapes before . Got no unemployment either but after state’s investigations I was correct and that dns did loose her license

I’ve been a manager for twenty years. Number one reason for employees at lower grade levels is they just stink at their job and we want them to be better. Laying ground work to fire is another valid reason. This happens as a requirement of hr. Write ups allow us to lock an employee down. They become ineligible to transfer to other departments. Even if you survive the write up, you will get the lowest raises possible during review time A third reason and why I dislike my company. Hr forces me to do this to a percentage of my employee. This is some lame bullshit started by the ceo of Chrysler back in the 80s. He fired ten percent regardless of their actual performance. Moron mba graduates adhere to this thinking it is a good way to do business. I firmly believe that employees who genuinely want to work hard will thrive somewhere else and that could be elsewhere within the company. I don’t like locking them down and removing that option from them. If you do receive one, your career is not going well. You really should bounce but make sure you do it when it is right for you.

They turn the company on you

High Risk Pregnancy - I requested Telework while in bed rest since I am a data analyst. Never missed deliverable when teleworking during Covid19. All of a sudden I have disciplinary charges for suspension.

Does this also go hand in hand with hostile environment where the employers intentionally causes stress so you stress leave? I was told when breakdown stress dial 911 and go to ER so it looks medical. Key thing is - make sure your deliverables are met and no meetings missed.

For those saying that "at will" means they can fire or you can leave for any reason at all are idiots. That's not what it means. It means a job can control you with no backlash putting you in any circumstance or nightmare scenario regardless what you major in or put on your application. Think about that. Seriously!

This is such an insightful video! Understanding the value of a hostile work environment case and proving discrimination can feel overwhelming for employees. On my channel, The HR Insider, I dive into topics like navigating workplace complaints and understanding your rights as an employee. Empowering workers with this knowledge is so important-great job bringing this to light!

Can you do one on the Pregnancy Fairness Act?

What about if you are a nurse working two jobs? One is at the bedside and the other is in an office. Can we take maternity leave from either job and differential times.

Learned so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Do you network with other employment lawyers in other states ? Anyone in the DC area?

Does this mean no one can call you for a legal advice if they’re still employed?
