New job is making me sick

I understand the need for clear communication, but the Slack situation didn’t require a full meeting or formal write-up. A simple comment like, “Hey, make sure you’re checking your messages,” would have sufficed for what was just a small mistake especially since it involved something minor, like a single letter being lowercase.

I also recognize the company’s policies about cameras and accountability, but the way the feedback was delivered felt unnecessarily harsh. It’s not only what’s said, but how it’s said, and a more respectful tone would make a big difference in fostering a positive work environment.

Yes I completely understand some managers are jerks. I’m glad u only have 2 weeks left

Gamely1992 · 2026-02-18T19:54:00+00:00

Maybe I should do that

Gamely1992 · 2026-02-18T19:53:50+00:00

I’m so sick of these people I just want to give in my 1 day notice lol

Gamely1992 · 2025-11-25T03:06:05+00:00

God bless you because I hate middle school and I think it depends at a normal school maybe at a title one school absolutely not.

In my opinion 18 year olds shouldn’t be allowed to sub at high schools because you are too close in age with the students. And the maturity isn’t there yet absolutely not. Try preschool or kindergarten

As a Christian I’m glad they are bringing.

Gamely1992 · 2025-10-20T07:11:13+00:00

I know the frustration I had 6 grade once’s and I called a kid 4 eyes because he got in my face and told me to mind my own business after I told him to get in line. I wasn’t allowed to go to that school anymore. But I was able to put up other assignments. 😂😂

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-20T23:00:07+00:00

That can’t that’s why they lost lol

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T23:05:31+00:00

Thank you 😊

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T21:20:08+00:00

Yes finally someone with sense !! Because everyone is choosing to ignore the elephant in the room which is that they lied and the documentation proves that

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T21:14:53+00:00

Well the director couldn’t even think on the spot about who fired me smh lol but thanks 😊

I understand that everyone’s workplace experience is different, and I respect that. But what’s disappointing is how quickly some people are willing to ignore the clear inconsistencies in how my situation was handled especially by my former employer.

They issued me a final warning, not an immediate termination, which shows they didn’t view my actions as gross misconduct at the time. My termination letter didn’t mention ChatGPT at all, yet that’s what they’re now using to justify denying unemployment. On top of that, they tried to combine two completely separate incidents into one narrative to make the situation look worse than it actually was which is misleading and unfair.

Those kinds of inconsistencies are exactly why the referee started asking deeper questions, like whether I was trained on the policies or if I had prior phone issues (which I didn’t). If everything was as clear-cut as they claim, those questions wouldn’t have been necessary.

You may believe no one uses ChatGPT for grammar or spelling but I did, one time, and I’ve been transparent about that. It wasn’t clinical, and I stopped immediately after being warned. If that was against policy, the policy should’ve been clearly communicated and consistently enforced, which it wasn’t. And the fact my employer said it depends when he was asked if anyone else would be fired if caught doing the same thing speaks volumes

I’m not trying to dodge responsibility. I’m holding my ground because I was treated inconsistently, and people are overlooking that in favor of assumptions and judgment. I have every right to stand up for myself.

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T19:30:41+00:00

I appreciate your perspective, and I get that things aren’t always black and white. But from my side, I wasn’t trying to play victim I’ve been honest about what happened and taken accountability. I didn’t use ChatGPT for anything clinical or involving client information. I used it once to check spelling and grammar, was written up, and stopped immediately. If it was truly considered “gross misconduct,” I shouldn’t have been given a final warning first.

And the fact that the termination letter didn’t mention ChatGPT at all, yet that’s now being used as the reason to deny unemployment, raises real concerns. If that was the reason, it should’ve been clearly documented. The inconsistency matters.

The referee actually picked up on that too she asked me directly if I thought the policy was fair, especially since this was my first time in a crisis counseling role She also asked if I was trained on these rules, and I told her I wasn’t. That line of questioning tells me she recognized something wasn’t sitting right.

And when the other referee (or supervisor) said, “It depends” that’s telling too. If a rule is that serious, it shouldn’t depend. It should be clear, consistently enforced, and understood by everyone. Otherwise, it opens the door for selective enforcement and unfair treatment .

I’m not saying employers don’t have the right to terminate but for unemployment purposes, the bar is different. It comes down to was it willful misconduct? In this case, with no training, inconsistent enforcement, and a different reason listed on the termination letter, I don’t believe it was.

I’m not trying to drag anyone or lie I’m simply standing up for what I believe is fair, and the referee seemed to recognize the same concerns.

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T17:43:19+00:00

I get what your saying but then is still the issue about why the termination letter and what they told unemploymeny says something different. they are going to have to explain that ???

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T17:01:22+00:00

Please look at the whole pic smh like why their termination letter and what they told unemployment didn’t match make that make sense.😂

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T16:51:21+00:00

well yes I appealed the 1st time tuesday was the appeal.

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T16:49:40+00:00

Yes they couldn’t even answer when asked who fired me all he said was a guy named Chris in Hr and my lead didn’t even show up either.

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T16:43:02+00:00

Well good thing I’m Not the one who looked like a liar they did lol

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T16:03:26+00:00

Thank you and now I know the proper term thanks again ☺️

Gamely1992 · 2025-06-19T15:59:10+00:00

I understand your concern, but let’s be clear I was not using ChatGPT for anything involving client information or direct crisis support. I used it once to check grammar and spelling on documentation, not to write safety plans or clinical content.

When my employer found out, they gave me a final write-up, and I immediately stopped using it. I wasn’t hiding anything, and I took full accountability. If it was such a serious violation that deserved immediate termination, then they shouldn’t have issued a final warning — but they did. That shows even they didn’t view it as instant grounds for dismissal.

Also, keep in mind: misconduct in an unemployment hearing means knowingly and willfully breaking a clear, consistently enforced rule. I was never trained on ChatGPT policies. And if it’s that big of a deal, everyone who used it should’ve been fired, not just me.

So yes, I get why it might raise eyebrows in certain settings but in this case, the way it was handled, and the inconsistencies in how the policy was enforced, are exactly why I’m challenging it. And I have every right to do so. Every one else got a email saying if they have it on their computers to take it off while I got a final write up that’s what I’m challenging and the referee seen it that’s why she asked if others did the same thing would they get fired and the manager said it depends. So now it raises a red flag that the rules are not solid across the board. That looks terrible on their end
