I had an employer do this to me. I requested to use most of my two weeks vacation time in one vacation. They declined it, telling me that it should be used for 3 and 4 day weekend trips on occasion, and not all at once. Then they were shocked that I didn't cancel my vacation.
Damn. Where Im at, there is a law requiring businesses allow two weeks back to back vacation each year.
Sad. Reads like they needed a warm body but it didn't much matter who
lol there's no way the poster actually fired anyone. If there's one thing I've learned its that most business don't like to fire people, its too expensive. They just talk a big game, do write-ups and generally try to use passive-aggression to present an air of "you're on thin ice!" Odds are, if your employer needs you THAT badly to work your shifts, they're not gonna want to train an all new person to replace you.
The company I work for decided one day that we absolutely had to use a script when talking to customers. I don't, I just ignored them because we didn't used to have to have a script so why is it suddenly requirement now.
Every time they hear you not using the script they write you up, which essentially just amounts to them writing down this person is not doing what I want. Signing it and making you sign it as if that's some kind of contract you've entered into and then nothing happens.
Can somebody explain "y'all can front if y'all want"?
edit: thanks for the replies. The differences in interpretations make me wonder why people don't just say "bluff" or "challenge me" or whatever the boss actually did mean to say. It seems like inventing slang has really accelerated in the last say 20 years. I hear so many more slang terms now. It's like everybody wants to make up their own language. Seems like non-inclusive behavior to me.
"Rebell at your own demise"
To front someone is to face them, to challenge them. This basically said "you challenge me to fire you? Challenge accepted."
I thought it was about 'putting up a front', trying to act tough without expecting blowback.
Apparently the work needs slaves.
Being denied PTO on a specific day and slavery are not the same. Source: California just voted to continue enslaving people, PTO was not brought up.
