<PERSON> cuts the weekend hours and then gets MC with the boss.
So I have read similar things here before but thought i would share my story.
<PERSON> (my previous post was partially about her as well) was a manager of all the small departments like Reception, security, stores, company records, IT etc. What I know about <PERSON> is this. She left school at 15-16 worked in a supermarket. Got a job at our firm as a front desk receptionist for about two years before been promoted to the managers role of small departments. She has some sort of relationship with one of company's directors. Unsure what the relationship is and some speculate uncle or good family friend. She was manager for four years in that role.
Our company worksite has about 300 workers, 80 support staff (<PERSON> is in charge) , some technical departments and management. <PERSON> who is quite young and not very educated runs the second biggest department (lots of small departments). 329
I was the union delegate and one Friday about 4pm a bunch of staff come to me and tell <PERSON> is cutting weekend hours for the support staff in a money saving bid. I tell them not to worry as they are all contracted to work 8 hours and the firm must pay you anyway.
Come the weekend and chaos reigns. Support staff are only working four hours as instructed and production grinds to a slow pace without the support staff. Monday morning at 9am the union rings the general manager to ensure that staff will be paid for 8 hours even though they were instructed to work 4 hours only. Apparently, the general manager was also inundated with complaints from the weekend managers about lack of support staff causing production delays. <PERSON> gets yelled at big time by the general manager.
<PERSON> however called her company director friend who informs <PERSON> by been yelled at, that breached the firms work safety rules. <PERSON> lodges a complaint with HR. <PERSON> is put on six weeks paid leave and the manager gets a warning. All the staff who worked 4 hours got paid 8 hours. 329
