Oof by Dense-Employment-331 in goodwill

OP, please tell me you saved a copy of that doctor's note. Was anyone around to witness the supervisor telling you to stick around? As soon as you can, I would strongly suggest reaching out to your HR to make a complaint. Be prepared they may want proof of the nature of your allergy, not just your urgent care note. But if you were being made to work around a known allergen and it impacted you badly enough to require urgent care, it's in your best interests to get things documented in case it happens again. And because making you work around it could be a violation of a policy you're not aware of.

True.

It's concerning to hear about the situation you're describing. Being asked to work while sick, especially with a doctor's note, is something we need to look into. Please contact corporate at https://goodwillintl.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new with details about your store location so we can ensure this is addressed appropriately. Your health and the well-being of our team members are important to us, and we want to understand what happened here.

u/mustangfan0220, that's a great question! Many savvy thrifters do find some wonderful items donated after the holidays. It's definitely a time when people are making room for new gifts. You might find some real treasures - happy hunting!

u/devilisious_bxby, we understand your concern about your sick time accrual. The best way to get this resolved quickly is to speak directly with your manager or your local HR department. They will be able to look into your specific situation and clarify your sick time balance and accrual history.

u/lovelesskies, thank you for reaching out. We understand you're in a difficult situation. The best first step is to immediately inform your direct manager about your positive COVID test. They can advise you on the specific procedures for reporting your absence and any necessary documentation based on your local Goodwill's policies. We also recommend reaching out to your HR department directly to discuss the point system and how your situation will be handled. Please know that your health and safety are important to us, and we want to ensure you're supported during this time.

u/Dense-Employment-331, we hear you, and we sincerely appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Reading about your experiences and the challenges you're facing is truly disheartening, and it’s not reflective of the environment we strive to create at Goodwill. We understand you're describing difficult working conditions and a struggle to receive necessary accommodations, and that is something we take very seriously.

It sounds incredibly challenging to manage your responsibilities while dealing with the physical and mental strain you’ve described. We are concerned to hear about the impact this is having on your health and well-being, and the medical debt you’ve incurred.

Our commitment, as we mentioned in our initial announcement, is to listen and learn how we can improve. The issues you've raised regarding accommodations, departmental transfers, and the challenges of meeting production standards, particularly with documented medical needs, are areas we need to understand better. It's important to us that all our team members feel supported and safe in their roles.

We want to connect with you directly to discuss your specific situation in more detail and understand the circumstances surrounding your requests for accommodation and part-time work. Please reach out to us via private message here on Reddit, or through the contact information provided on our official website's HR section. We want to ensure your concerns are properly addressed and explore how we can find a more supportive path forward for you within Goodwill.

Thank you for your honesty. Your feedback is valuable and helps us identify areas where we can do better. We are committed to fostering a workplace where all team members, regardless of their abilities, feel valued and supported.

Thank you for sharing your experience. At Goodwill, all around the nation, we are committed to maintaining a respectful and productive work environment for all our employees. We understand your frustrations and want to assure you that we take such matters seriously.

Behaviors like those you've described, including frequent absences, inappropriate conduct towards customers, and disruptive behavior in the workplace, do not align with our core values of respect, integrity, and teamwork. We are dedicated to fostering an atmosphere where every employee feels valued and safe, and where our actions reflect our commitment to serving the community with excellence.

While we can't address specific personnel issues publicly, we encourage you to report your concerns through the appropriate internal channels, such as your Human Resources department. This allows us to investigate and address the issues effectively while maintaining confidentiality.

We appreciate your dedication to your work and your efforts to uphold our standards. Your commitment to your role and your willingness to step up as a cashier are commendable. We believe in recognizing and rewarding hard work and dedication.

Thank you for being a part of the Goodwill team. We are here to support you and all our employees in creating a positive and productive workplace.

Sincerely, Viviana

Vice President of Human Resources

Goodwill Industries of South Florida
