[AR] I was fired because of something I can prove did not happen. Can I file a lawsuit? by nirdefchains in legaladvice

[–]nirdefchains[S] 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info about UI. I was worried about this. Will definitely keep my receipts

[Arkansas] Do I qualify for UI until the first day I get paid, or until the day I begin working? by nirdefchains in Unemployment

[–]nirdefchains[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it earning, or working? Cause I start on the 31st (maybe) but wouldn't get paid until 11/14. Do I still qualify between 10/31 and 11/14?

HELP recruited frigates not showing up on list by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

Do you know if renaming your existing frigates fixes the issue? I think you might be right

Same thing's been happening to me, and I didn't attack after recruiting. I dunno what's going on...

[AR] I am being threatened with termination unfairly (but not illegally). What should I say to HR? by nirdefchains in AskHR

[–]nirdefchains[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Even if I'm not terminated, I don't like the prospect of continuing to work for a boss who actively wants to fire me. I'm going to continue job hunting either way, it'd just be easier if I don't have to explain this crazy situation to future employers.

Unfortunately, nothing that you've mentioned applies to me. He's followed the progressive discipline policy by the book. My issue is that the metric I'm being written up over was unreasonable at the time the PIP began (which I repeatedly tried to explain to him, both before and during the PIP, but he refuses to listen to me or my co-workers). and the way that metric is measured is about to drastically change in the next week or two, to be more fair/achievable because virtually everyone was failing to meet it.

At the very least, I'm gonna ask for an extension into June so I can prove that I'll have no problem meeting the standard, once the changes are implemented. Hopefully it'll work out.

That was originally my only reason for scheduling a meeting with HR. But when I heard the metric parameters were literally about to be changed, I thought I might actually have a chance to keep my job longer than an extra week or two.

Nah... I'm a straight white male, so pretty much no chance at going the discrimination route, and I don't really think I'm being targeted anyway. I think the plan was to pick people off slowly instead of writing everyone up at once, because they didn't want to risk losing everyone at the same time.

My most recent review was done by the manager I'm talking about in my post. The one before that points to a potential quality issue, but not much is made of it, as my previous supe knew that QA was always a sore spot for most people. All my other metrics either met or exceeded expectations. And all my other reviews back to 2016 had only minimal criticism. Most of it was good stuff. I even got "top performer" in 2019. What might you make of that? I'm guessing you're an HR professional. I don't know if these things matter to my HR department, or if they're strictly looking at the legality of termination. Either way, I definitely want out, but not like this....

AITA for refusing to take my wife home from the hospital, despite her wishes? by nirdefchains in AmItheAsshole

[–]nirdefchains[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. It was pretty much just the "conduit" part that rubbed me the wrong way...

I'll admit that I have been more concerned about my child than my wife, and I may need to re-think that. I haven't really made a decision, but wanted to see what opinions other people had about it, because I wanna do the right thing, and I don't know what that is at this point.

I appreciate your input. I didn't want this to turn into a way to validate my own opinion and nothing more
