I labored at an power firm that had, amongst different issues:
-delayed our January 2019 COL will increase to August 2020
– (whereas we have been nonetheless ready on the above) tried to retroactively slash our wages by 20% for 3 months throughout COVID (unlawful to do it retroactively, and a 20% paycut would have taken numerous us under the authorized minimal wage
-settled for “solely” slashing it by 10% for six months
-as payback for the above, additionally removed the 4% revenue sharing for that interval – so principally an even bigger paycut as a result of SLT was petulant at not having the ability to steal sufficient from our paycheques
-wasted cash on an arrogance venture referred to as “Rant and Rave” the place we spammed our clients with surveys…. whereas we have been coping with a paycut
-tried to play quick and unfastened with sick depart pay for individuals who caught COVID because of working second jobs to counteract the above wage theft
-tried to radically alter our job descriptions and have us log out on it by utilizing an automatic PeopleHR notification that merely alerted us to obtain one thing and point out we’d learn it, subverting the entire course of for altering job roles specified by our contract and their very own handbook
-massively bungled a methods improve that led us unable to invoice precisely for 18+ months
-sent out an all-staff e mail stating that the billing division, who’d been crippled by SLT’s bungling of the above, wanted assist with their backlog and that the function was “actually simply typing on a pc” so anybody might assist
-when stated workforce objected, claimed it was “a misunderstanding” – after which posted stated e mail, unchanged, on the entrance of the intranet
-reorganised the workplace format to cram extra workers into smaller rooms on the idea that she wished the executives on one flooring, basically placing all the remainder of us at elevated danger of COVID for an aesthetic – I knew the corporate didn’t worth or respect it’s workers, however even I didn’t see “you’re not price safety from a lethal virus” coming
In order that’s the panorama when the CEO decides to name an all-hands city corridor the place she will be able to honk it up dipshit model concerning the thrilling new choices she needs us to foist on our clients – stated “new” choices being adjustable thermostats and good NEST home equipment. Groundbreaking!
She then chooses to hype up these wonderous and beforehand unparalleled gadgets by telling a narrative about… the way it let her flip off the heating to bedrooms (plural!) that she wasn;t utilizing, and the way she used the cameras to spy on her cleaner who was rounding up her billable hours.
Cool. Superior. Love struggling to make ends meet in my one-bedroom flat whilst you flap your noisome gums about our a number of unused rooms and abusing the low-paid employee who does your house responsibilities.
Absolute wretch of a human being. Fully with out empathy and unable to see these “under” her as precise folks.
