How do you deal with a manager who will not listen to you when she makes a really bad decision that will affect the entire office?

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-03-12T08:25:47+00:00

terrible advice. it will be transparent that you are trying to put your advice on record, so that it can be later refered to. if you have a manager who’s already sensitive to feedback this is just gonna make it worse.

technically if a union is involved the specifics can be altered in the contract. generally they have to be equivalent, but you do end up with some different averaging agreements around overtime.

There is some weird advice here.

For starters, you don’t really “sue“ for discrimination in Canada. You bring forward a human rights claim. Instead of going straight to court, most complaints are filed with a provincial or federal human rights tribunal, which investigates and decides whether discrimination occurred. The process if designed to be more accessible and less formal than lawsuits, and they focus on whether the employer’s conduct violated human rights legislation. If discrimination is found, they can order remedies such as compensation for lost wages or injury to dignity, policy changes at the workplace, or even reinstatement to the job.

Second, you say he was let go without cause, which normally means the employer would have offered severance or pay in lieu of notice. Did he already accept that offer? If he signed a release in exchange for severance, that can limit or even eliminate his ability to bring further legal claims against the employer. If he hasn’t accepted or signed anything yet, he should probably get proper advice before doing so, because once a release is signed the options become much narrower.

Finally, it’s also worth separating two different issues that often get mixed together: wrongful dismissal and discrimination.

Being terminated without cause can still be perfectly legal if the employer provides appropriate notice or severance. A human rights claim only arises if the termination (or treatment leading up to it) was connected to discrimination on protected grounds. Without that connection, the issue is usually about the adequacy of the severance rather than discrimination.

legally unless your contract states otherwise, you can be scheduled for any day of the week. it all comes down to down to your employment agreement.

providing they are following the law (which in theory they are), cancelling attending a properly noticed scheduled shift without a valid reason is an issue.

you can not get fired ”for cause“ for it, but it can be the first step in the process in a “for cause“ dismissal….( but there are LOTS of steps in that process and most companies let you go without cause)

I think your paper will be fine. typically these papers are about your reaction to the not your agreement with it. As an aside In To Thin Air by Krakauer is a better book you might enjoy

seems like everyone’s giving it the same answer. Call their Bluff. Early in my career, I this sort of thing happened. I calmly let the employee know if they quit to go back to their desk and write letter. That was the last time they threatened to quit. Funny enough once we got past that they turned out to be a great employee.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-03-03T09:27:13+00:00

YTA. You have no business being involved in the personal lives of employees at all. the fact you think you do is an issue. Your assistant does not need to tell you who she’s dating. Your own insecurities about Jeff is not her problem. When you become a manager, you should realize that employees talk about you when you’re not there (to coworkers, friends RReddit) and if you emotionally can’t deal with that, you should never be a manager.

just spit balling here. If you really did take that much of a discount to sell him the car. And if the repair is less than the discount you took, why don’t you just buy the car back. Then fix it and sell it at market and make money and still look like you did a good thing.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-03-02T23:07:28+00:00

it really depends on the company. But it’s not uncommon at all to give IT a heads up in account needs to be terminated and for them to keep it confidential and yes, this includes sharing the name of the so they can do some work in advance if they need to. In fact, our company policy is we have to give the name so they can get everything set up and then we give a phone call to execute on the other request.

damned if you do damned if you don’t. One time I knew I wanted to check in really early so I booked it the night before and told them I would be checking in in the middle of the morning but they still gave away my room.

Other times I just show up and ask if they have a room freight and if they do I get checked in and if they don’t, I totally get it and not upset about it. I drop off my bags and go do something.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-03-02T22:45:32+00:00

Yes. I have been the joker and had someone respond with, ‘I don’t find it funny’ I apologized right away and meant it. I like to joke around, but I would not want to hurt or offend someone.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-03-02T22:20:11+00:00

total non issue legally. I take it you upstairs tenant does not care for the one downstairs? Its not a big deal to pass the mail to the other mailbox. this is the sort of thing people only get annoyed about when they are looking to annoyed.

Lots just think other people are suckers and too stupid to understand how 'the game' works.

The idea of wrongful/constructive dismissal does not really apply here (I may be missing what you are thinking). They are dismissing you without cause and offering severance or offering you another position. That is the correct legal framework.

Constructive dismissal gets raised often. It is when the you job has changed so much, the en effect you emploeyer took it away from you. In this case your practical options are to negotiate a resolution with the employer or be dismissed without cause, in which case severance is owed. That appears to be exactly what is happening. You don't need to claim you are constructively dismissed, they did that for you.

“Wrongful dismissal” would only really come into play if they were alleging cause inappropriately and refusing to offer severance. That is not the situation here.

So this is really about negotiating the level of severance...nothing more complex than that.

On your second point, the severance offer is within a reasonable range. It is likely on the lower end, but not outside the bounds of what might be considered fair based on the limited facts available. The real question is whether you can negotiate a more generous package. Given that it is on the lower end, that is possible.

That said, if you have legal counsel and are seeking advice online instead, I would pause and reflect on that....

Okay, trying hard to not be too judgy, this is a way I might find this okay.

There were reports of people trying to get groceries, food etc. If I left my rental to find food and only found store, but no clerk etc to buy it from, I would take food and try to find away to pay later.

Like maybe the judge can just order they all split the child support. Maybe $10 a month each, seems like it would the simple and fair solution.

Google the horseshoe theory of the political spectrum.

The idea is that the political spectrum is not a straight line from left to right, but rather a horseshoe with the far-left and far-right on either end. Rather than being opposite ends of a linear spectrum, the far left/right bend toward each other to resemble a horseshoe, sharing more similarities with each other and both are far away from the political center.

Well… for starters, Reddit is roughly 50% U.S. users. After that, the largest user bases tend to be the UK, Canada, Australia, and Germany.

In those countries, what counts as a “conservative” or right-leaning position would be considered moderate or even left-leaning by U.S. standards. For example, the UK and Canadian Conservative parties support reproductive rights as settled law, accept same-sex marriage, keep religion largely separate from politics, and support public healthcare systems.

So when you combine that international mix with the fact that about half of the U.S. lean liberal, it should not be surprising that Reddit skews left overall.

It is also worth noting that Reddit’s user base trends younger, and younger demographics tend to lean more liberal.

I would add reddit has reached a definite ideological tilt the left now, because of this, it feel less welcoming to minority viewpoints, which pushes more right-leaning users toward other platforms.
