what debate... FIRED!!!
Are they paid to attend workout sessions during work hours, or paid to attend work meetings during work hours.
Wait until they get a job dealing with international companies when you have to be on a conference call at 5am or 11pm, sometimes on the same day.
Ahhh ... generational stereotyping; a sure sign of a weak mind ...
telling their boss
"Their"? That's a plural form of personal pronoun. "His boss" or "Her boss" is correct.
couldn't attend an 8 a.m. meeting because they had a 'workout class.'
No. That's normal business hours.
Trying to get fired and suck-up that nice severance package ,LOL
Of course the emplooyee can refuse to attend. And, of course the employer can fired her snowflake ass.
Why the hell are pronouns disagreeing in number? I can’t read this garbage and make sense of it.
These cry babies don’t know what work is, When I was working on rigs in the oil field, 16 hours a day, 6 days a week! if you said something like that you were not only fired on the spot, you were blackballed and nobody in the oil field would hire you.
My favorite Gen Z story.
We lost track of an employee for a few days—he was supposed to be in the NYC office and they had not heard from him and he was not answering his home phone or cell phone.
Everybody figured he has just quit...
Until the folks in the Los Angeles office saw him walk into their office.
He explained he had decided to move to LA and join their office.
The big bosses were stunned—never heard of anything like that before....
Their decision was to tell him to report to the New York City office by the next morning or he was fired...
He got on a plane and showed up in the NYC office the next day.
Fire their asses. Then they can work out all day long.
Oh you wont attend my meeting because you’re working out at that time? No problem, you’re fired.
I start the day at 3 am on work days. The employer is in control of the schedule. Or, you quit.
No debate at all . The jerk that has to go to the gym should go and never return, as Trump would say, “You’re fired”.
The question has an easy answer: If the employee did not agree to be at work at 8am, and the company agreed that he or she would start work at a later hour, then the employee is in the right.
If the employee agreed that 8am is their normal start time, fire his or her butt (that will give plenty of time for working out).
Even if they're wrong they're still right.
That said I fired my boss and retired 4 years early over the vax.
He was right up until then but I handled it like a boss.
Doesn’t matter “who’s right”.
In a free market, an employer can fire their ass for whatever reason.
I don’t have enough information to have a strong opinion on this one. In the past, I have taken jobs that included “on call” time, or sometimes changing shifts. These things are best hashed out during the application process. I always made it clear that I never wanted to be scheduled for Sundays (with emergency work acceptable). The employer might be low-balling the pay, so the employee just wants to do the minimum to match the compensation.
A lot of us who would bend in any direction had had it when employers started demanding masks when working alone, and shots. The covenant broke for some of us then.
Finally, I don’t know how good the employee’s actual work is. If the actual performance on the job is good, maybe he isn’t that easily replaced. We know unions are corrupt and abusive, but then we should allow for employees to bargain for that which is important to them. As long as silly law suits or government action doesn’t interfere, it may not be that big a deal. Maybe it would be just best to take him of the promotion track because he isn’t a “company man”. That might work for him, too.
As an employee that has been working 50+ hours per week for many years, my thoughts have evolved on this. Corporations are abusing their employees for more hours. I now tell my boss, my computer shuts down at 6pm, work done or not. I let him tell me what his priority is, so he can decide what isn’t done.
Tell them goodbye, they are now free to work-out 100% of the time, every day.
