I have been there 26 years. I am a successful sales manager and have, needless to say, vast experience with this company. I have been asking for additional responsibilities (training new sales staff, working with other divisions, etc) for years. I have been able to do some of that (with good feedback).

After my boyfriend was stabbed about 2 years ago, he's had real bad seizures - they have been lasting over 3 to 5 minutes. Even though he has seizures, because he can work, he can not go on SSI - even though his seizures are now considered deadly because they are over 4 minutes.



What causes his seizures are lack of sleep, stress, and caffeine. However, because his job makes him work crazy hours throughout the week (from 10:00pm to 6:00am then the same day return to  ...</description>

I have other issues with the firm that terminated me while I was on disability and I'm wondering if I have any recourse. Please read below.



I was hired in 2/08. In 5/08, my company waived the requirement for an employee to be employed for 6 mos. before they could get promoted. They did this because my manager announced he was leaving &amp; his manager wanted me to get the job. I was a top-notch employee and performed exceedingly well in a short time so they wanted to promote  ...</description>

I am in a pretty stressful situation right now.



I got fired from an &quot;entry level&quot; position at a multibillion dollar company in October of this year, along with a coworker. The reasons our boss told us were that we were taking too many breaks. This was not true, for me anyway. They based their assumptions on not using our badges to open the door each time we went out. My badge would sometimes not work, and othertimes I wouldn't have it on me. I did use it most of the  ...</description>

The dialogue is similar to the one that follows:

			<description>State? TX

I am working for a consultant company and I was contracting for a client company.

I got acquainted with a married woman at work in the client company through some meetings. She was also a contractor but working for another agency. She was very friendly and talked about a lot of things including her personal life. Since she was having friendly conversations, I also started having some friendly conversations with her. Since I guess she and I were almost coming and leaving at the same  ...</description>

			<description>was terminated from my job a 1.5 weeks ago, a month after returning from work after having recovered from an on the job injury.



I believe my firing was discriminatory.



During my two-weeks I was off due to my injury, my office hired another person to do my job. Upon returning to my job, my management gave me a very poor 90-day review in which they reviewed things that were not even part of my job description (things they'd 'added' to it while I was out on L&amp;I leave). I responded  ...</description>

			<description>Hi everyone I am Dan. One month ago I received what they call a disciplinary action form stating that my van was dirty. The thing is that ;5 months ago when I started, I was given that van dirty, and no one inspected it ,or made me sign anything I was hopping on a clean van or I am  responsible for this and that.



The DAF states that the dirty van, and the paperwork are the reason I am being reprimanded for, and that I was going to get a review the 18th, to see if I improved.  Otherwise they  ...</description>

			<description>Hi I am writting this on behalf of my boyfriend, David who works as an assistant manager at a tractor supply. As he came into this job his boss (the store manager) had a terrible attitude and so did the employees there. They were treating him badly because they were upset that one of there group members didnt get the position David got. The store manager had a problem with it too because the district manager was the one who hired him in this position to be trained to become a store manager.

			<description>Recently I was hired as a bartender for a small club where I live. I was told before I could work I had to get my liquor license so I did and once I did that, they had me come in for training. First of all, I inquired about my pay during the interview after the owner had hired me. He said that he generally pays the bartenders more than the normal $3 whatever because of the amount of work involved in closing the bar (cleaning, taking out garbage, stocking the cooler, etc, etc..). No actual pay  ...</description>

			<description>Good evening all! I have a question that involves a situation my brother-in-law is facing. He quit his job at the end of August working for a company based in Ohio. He was serving as a consultant doing work at car dealerships. He quit because, as he says, he was spoken to abusively concerning his sales. He was doing well with what he was making; his Ohio-based &quot;employer&quot; was not. The area that he was working was relatively unworked prior to his efforts. He established good relationships  ...</description>

So, the issue is kind of long, but I'm going to try my hardest to shorten and get to the important points only as much as I can:

My manager recently told me it was now my responsibility to do inventory of the building, counting furniture, etc. She recently laid off 5 people one of whom did this before.

			<description>I work for a local school in Arizona. WE (the aides) are having some issues with our employer and we don't know who to contact. To give a brief over view of the issues we are having:



We were hired last year and were told that we would get certain benefits: sick leave, personal leave, and 11 paid Holidays. Some were even promised certain pay and then after starting work that pay was not what was promised. Most of us got hired without even knowing what our wage was until our first paycheck.  ...</description>

			<description>Posted this in another forum but after looking over answers in my post and other threads I think they are wrong.  Someone suggested this forum.  Seems it is a new forum and I don't think anyone is around but I guess it has to start someplace.  So I will post my question same as in the other forum:



Is a supervisor allowed to force you to work another shift without good reason?



Recently my boss came to me and said that he is going to make me change shifts to third shift from second shift.  ...</description>
