Doesn’t this company have a budget for routine maintenance and repairs? The fact that you even had to sign an incident report under the jaundiced eye of HR, not to mention employees had to pay for carpet cleaning at the previous office, is a HUGE red flag. This is not SOP. As great as this opportunity is, I would start looking. Sounds like a toxic work environment. Let’s not even mention the conflict of interest with having the owner’s wife head up HR.
^ all of this! pay for a broken door or clean a stain - out of their minds
Excuse my French. But WTF? How is any of this your responsibility? It could actually have been a hazard to you as an employee. You’ve got to go.
^ exactly this. Frame it as workplace safety and concern
So I told HR what happened. Which was that I opened the door with 1 hand holding my laptop and the other pushing the door normally as would anyone.
HR doesn’t seem to believe me and asked for me to sign an incident report which would be submitted to the person I’m reporting to for further actions.
I know it sounds like I should just resign, but problem is that I just took up this job after a 1 year stint in my previous job. I’m afraid that leaving this job will make me jobless.
Also, I just made this jump into commercial and I really see this job as a really good opportunity.
Some advice please!
I'm appalled to hear this. There is no way an employee should be expected to pay for this unless it was deliberate vandalism. Which it doesn't sound like at all. Stand your ground, explain what happened and leave it at that.
HR and Owner are related/engaged? That's terrible, sounds that it can get toxic pretty easily. Run away.
I believe its actually illegal or certainly a violation to charge an employees for something out of their control. Call your state labor board and find somewhere with a safe, friendly culture to take your skills to. You owe them nothing, right up until you draft that letter. That will make it binding.
Don't they have a building manager if they're tenanted? Or do they own the building?
Run as fast as you can and do not pay for anything.
