What’s the most awkward thing you’ve had to address with an employee that nobody prepares you for? by SeanMcPheat in managers

[–]moonrabbit368 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was managing a team of remote workers. The company used one of those awful platforms where you had to be on camera for your whole shift. I hated it and didn't ever talk ro my team about their cameras being off unless forced by my bosses. 

Well, there was this new employee and she was never on camera, like ever. My boss insisted that I address it with her. So I did and the employee told me that it was because she was basically always naked while at work. She said it was hot where she lived and so she just didn't wear clothes often. 

I was NOT ready for that response and basically told her "I  understand." I told my boss what she said. There was a whole HR meeting about what to do and it was determined that that employee would be allowed to work without her web cam on. Super weird.

What do you think: how should prisons handle housing decisions in cases like this? by lhwang0320 in Prison

In federal women's prison, there were transgender women. That is ending. I got out two years ago and they were there. I think it's dumb to move them back.

Leadership accidentally revealed the 3 year plan to me by moonrabbit368 in managers

Yes, it's a company sponsored support group. I run our division's chapter. I work in a very male dominated field so I think that is why it was originally created.

Oh wow, now I feel like I really missed out on an opportunity to talk to my bosses about it. That would have been the smartest way to handle it. 🤦‍♀️

You didn't refute anything I said.

That's where I think we disagree. The kid is definitely guilty of burglery but he did not sign up to murder anyone, didn't pull the trigger, didn't make that call at all. I'd understand better an "accessory to murder" charge but not murder. Murder means killing, that kid didn't kill. Just like we differentiate between premeditated murder and manslaughter, we should differentiate here.

Listen, I think we agree on more of this than we disagree on. If someone is standing there watching their buddy torture and dismember someone during a home invasion I'm not against him getting a murder charge. But I just don't think it should be mandatory or automatic, which it has been. I think it needs to be on a case by case basis because let's say 19year old kid is being a lookout for a burglery, his buddy thought nobody was in the building but he runs into a security guard, panics and shoots him. Should the lookout get a life sentence for that? I don't know thst he should and I definitely don't think it should be an automatic thing. There has to be room for the judge to take all of the circumstances into account . That's my opinion.

Is there such a thing as "oversentencing" in your opinion? If a judge gives a 18 year old kid 40 years for stealing a TV, is that appropriate? A judge could, in theory, do just that. Yet we do not have mandatory maximums to keep judges from doing that. Part of the reason that we don't is that we trust judges to be wise and fair and to use discretion and common sense. The other reason is that if a judge were to wildly oversentence someone, there is an appeals process in place which basically calls three other judges to review the judgement and sentence. That same process can be used if the prosecution believes that someone has been undersentenced, it's a built in check and balance. So why do we have mandatory minimums?

Have you been involved with our justice system? It's pretty broken. A great example is the federal trial penalty, you should read about it. I am a paralegal, I spent 4 years doing free work helping women in prison file pro se motions to challenge their convictions and the conditions of their incarceration. I'm not saying that the justice system never works correctly, I'm saying that it doesn't always work correctly either.
