In the case of good employees who are being let go through no fault of their own, those conversations benefit the employer, too, because people remember how they’re treated in their lowest moments — and word spreads fast. Future hiring prospects will be reading all about it on Twitter or Glassdoor. In a tight labor market, a company’s cruelty can leave a lasting stain on its reputation. Perhaps the most appalling aspect of termination by email is the asymmetry between what corporations… Source link

John Williams heard about the apprenticeship through his former high school and decided to give it a shot. At the time, Williams, now 22, was finishing up his associate degree in computer science at Wilbur Wright College in Chicago and working part-time at a restaurant.

Evidence of a U.S. worker shortage is popping up from “help wanted” signs in store windows to the record number of Americans — 4.4 million — who quit their jobs in September. Employers are finding that the traditional ways of attracting new employees, like raising pay, aren’t necessarily effective.

Just like the front offices at major sports teams, businesses around the country are having to make tough choices about employees either refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, or in some instances, even faking their vaccination status. But unlike National Hockey League player Evander Kane, who received a 21-game suspension last week for reportedly submitting a fake vaccine card to his team, employees caught doing the same in many offices in the U.S. could not only be terminated from… Source link

As coronavirus cases in the U.S. begin a concerning climb upward and virus variants threaten a return to normalcy, a handful of businesses have announced COVID-19 vaccination mandates as they prepare to welcome workers back to the office. The Equal Opportunity Employment Commission said employers can legally require COVID-19 vaccinations to re-enter a physical workplace, as long as they follow requirements to find alternative arrangements for employees unable to get vaccinated for medical… Source link

A growing number of workers hesitant about taking the COVID-19 vaccine are taking their bosses to court. The swift adoption of synthetic biological cocktails to combat the pandemic, developed and scaled for human injection at record pace, is at the heart of an increasing number of lawsuits from workers. They argue that submitting to a novel drug to combat a still-mysterious virus shouldn’t be a condition of keeping their jobs. In one of the latest lawsuits, 117 unvaccinated Texas hospital… Source link
