Manager and HR were happy with me, He blamed HR and when I went to HR, asking what happened, they in turn said , I don't know what you are talking about, talk to your manager. He was trying to blame them for his screw up and didn't think I would go and ask. A month later he thanked me for being so gracious with that predicament. About a year later, there was an opportunity to make him look bad, to his face, in front of the new director. I took it, while looking him in the eyes, straight faced. He got fired in the 1st round of layoffs (company was sold to a new owner, "restructuring/streamlining"), I made it look like we didn't really need him, he was redundant, that our department was self-sufficient. I never had anyone mess with my PTO again.

​@@Andrew-it7fb That's not how "right to work" laws function. Right to work simply means that Union membership is not mandatory. What you're describing is most likely at-will employment, where a company can fire you at any time for any LEGAL reason. In this case, firing an employee for speaking out against scummy corporate tactics (without mentioning the company) would be seen by a lawyer as wrongful termination and retaliation, meaning most likely a hefty lawsuit

If HR has an issue with anything dealing with an employee’s social media activity, HR needs to have the conversation with that person, directly. As a manager, I would not engage in this type of conversation with an employee. I would just let them know that HR will be reaching out and will provide the necessary details. This type of back-and-forth would never happen with me.

[@yadayada752]

HR probably told the manager there was nothing they could do about it. But, the manager thought she could use the threat of HR to get Veronica to comply!

[@junglekutz5625]

Back forth is pretty much child’s play. As said person is often trying and aiming to trigger whoever they’re targeting to behave in ways they either expect them to……or know that they will. If and when someone is poorly educated and lacks in valuable experience, they will continue to search for ways to push said persons buttons. What they do is on them…….as there’s no need for you to tit and that with them. Plus, even if you can *easily put them in their place by saying something ugly, it’s not even close to satisfying.

At a conference (at a meal attended by industry colleagues) I denigrated a company that our corporation has recently made "deals" with. This was overheard by a journalist and reported in their publication. Corporate came down hard saying I'd broken policy, that my position was at risk, etc. Unfortunately for them I'd been in the process of making those policies available online and I *knew* the policies. So I simply asked them if they could please let me know which paragraph of the policies I'd infringed. Silence. Never heard about it again. It was the start of a fairly long career of me knowing the rules better than HR. Then, thanks in no small part to that deal they made, they went bankrupt. But that's another story.

[@christopherscott8272]

Unfortunately, most states harbor a right to hire / fire law(s). Which means, even though Veronica may be correct about almost anything in these videos, often times a company can release an employee for almost any reason and leave that employee with not much to do in terms of a defense to the lay off / firing.

[@SB0083]

Any LEGAL reason. Creating a hostile work environment is a FEDERAL violation.

[@thebatman6201]

That's what I'm saying. Like these are nice little shorts. But in the real world, you'd have to keep working with these people. If you act like Veronica does, your boss WILL find a reason to let you go. This is not a way to avoid being taken advantage of so much as its instructions for how to get your boss gunning for you

[@scross1026]

But you can still sue for wrongful termination especially if your performance metrics are meeting or exceeding expectations. V knows how to cover her ass as she's shown in multiple animations. 💜

@scross1026 not really.. if your boss wants you gone. You can bet they'll find a way. If she talked to her boss like this, she could be written up for insubordination for constantly battling her managers.. or creating a hostile work environment by making every conversation transactional.. hell, they can get her for being late by 1 minute.. My point is that you do not want to talk like this to your bosses. Let them fuck up and either take it to hr or court. But don't fight them on the floor, or they'll show you how petty they can be.

[@TimoRutanen]

@@thebatman6201 While that is in practice of course possible, it's a careful invisible dance around the employer wanting to get more and the employee wanting to give less. The employee has the risk of being fired, and the employer has the risk of a lawsuit or bad press if they fired the employee poorly. I do agree that what's shown in the video is hardly a great way to communicate for either party. All around escalation for no reason.

[@Runningformylife04]

I just became pregnant with my third child and was moved to a new supervisor. When I told him I was pregnant he laughed and said “I hope you are coming back after”. I laughed it off because we did have a handful of people in the past that would say they were coming back and disappear. It was when he said “as long as it doesn’t affect your job performance”. Went straight to my manager…whom I had a great relationship with. He never apologized but did tip toe about the situation about sometimes saying things with one intention but it comes across as another. Oddly enough I never got much criticism from him after that despite his history of it with other employees…..so weird

[@ronpearson1912]

No one learns anything or cares until laws are crafted that criminalize their behavior and carry serious jail time. Serious jail time (I'm not talking a couple months) like 5-10 years o more will modify behavior. Its the ONLY thing that modifies behavior, or things like canning where you are beaten so badly that you are crippled for life. When dealing with sociopaths, serious criminal consequences are all that matter, and the USA has basically none when it comes to employment law. Even discrimination only has civil penalties.

We had one person get hauled over the coals as he had a sick day but the next day on his rostered day off he went surfing. He was questioned as to why he was surfing the day after a sick day. Needless to say he told them the gagf and what he did on his rostered days off was none of their business and he said if they wanted to continue he would give them his lawyers phone number as he will be suing for harassment.

When it was a message, a postit or a conversation, send your confirmation/recap by email. Take an hour once a month to review your Cv/resumé and consider what new skills or responsibilities you might add to it. The very fact that you keep it as an ongoing thing makes you much, much less susceptible to “might get fired” blackmail. Apply for a job every now and then with some other outfit.
