So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Clearly retaliation from what you’re saying. Where I am we would need a documented history of performance concerns to let someone go and we discipline retaliation as an ER concern.

Feels like the manager is opening himself and the company up to a potential lawsuit

Is it an at will state?

If the company requires certain type of footwear the company is supposed to provide them. We reimburse up to $60 for the required footwear. Some employees come to us in HR and others go through safety and compliance department which come to us for the reimbursement. As far as firing him without previous reprimands leaves the company open to litigation.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
