Good Friday was considered a paid holiday with my company i work for. The Thursday before, I wasn’t feeling well, and called in sick. I asked my boss if I could come in and work the Friday, since it’s a normal, common thing for employees to come in on Saturdays to catch up on work, hours, etc. That request was denied. Coke time to submit clock times at the end of the pay period, and I’m told that I have to use my vacation hours for both the Thursday and the Friday, ….

Most places I’ve worked in the past have a company attendance policy that if an employee calls in sick the day before or day after a holiday they forfeit holiday pay. That’s only for calling in sick. Preapproved PTO doesn’t fall under that policy. Have you asked your HR department?

I guess to meet the 40 hrs of the week? But was told that it’s policy that if you miss the day before or the day after a paid holiday, you do not get the pay for that holiday off, and unless you use your vacation hours, it’s considered “leave w/o pay”. Can someone confirm that this is a standard employee benefits policy, or clarify this situation? It doesn’t make much sense to me and im struggling to reason why or how that is an actual rule. It especially seems off to me considering …

I was denied permission to come in to work that Friday when my boss was fully aware that I would not be getting paid for the holiday, and also was aware that I did not know this. But still waited until payroll to inform me. I definitely don’t feel like I was given a fair chance to make the money I could have.

Is sticking up for yourself even worth it? My boss is always on my ass as if I’m constantly missing, or about to miss, deadlines. I’ve never missed one. I’ve received the same damn lecture/email about monitoring all case deadlines a hundred times. I always just professionally explain that we’re not about to miss any and discuss the progress. Well, I’ve about had it and am ready to go off. I’m sick of basically being told that I’m not doing my job. How should I address this issue?

I am currently unemployed (but looking) an opportunity to consult has potentially fallen into my lap. Before I shut it down for a lack of experience, I want to know if it's something that I can even do. It's a very very small company, not even 3 FTE. But they are looking for someone to come in, create a Handbook(I can do that), provide benefits, etc.

Is that difficult to implement? I can't imagine it being so, but I don't want to set myself up to fail.

I was called into HR because a coworker overheard a conversation between me and another colleague taking about cable/streaming shows that we watched or recorded. I mentioned that I recorded a few true-crime shows. My colleague jokingly said, "I hope I'm not on your hit-list!". I replied, "Not anymore." HR pulled me in to say a coworker complained about me talking about hit-lists, and they were now scared. HR wouldn't say who complained, so do I have a right to ask about the resolution to this?

I have had a 60%+ increase in volume from this time last year, but we have not had a new hire in my role to assist with the influx. Additionally, others in my department are overworked and they're delegating down to me.

So not only do I gave more work than ever, I'm doing tasks outside my original role
