Question: So I had requested a vacation weekend off where I was out of the state. When I return from that weekend off my boss actually told me that I was out of line by not "checking in" at my job and not being accessible to them during the weekend. I am flabbergasted and needless to say they fired me today for calling out due to COVID and not checking in again. How is this LEGAL?

Extremely illegal, I hope you got some of this in writing but either way, contact a labor attorney. Is there anyone who is above your boss you could also reach out to? I mean, I guess talk to a lawyer first but this is completely illegal. I would also blast them on sites like Indeed and Glassdoor

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.
