PhilosipherStoned Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The head hr lady was handing out forms at the guard shack we're suppose to give the police if quarantine goes into full effect here. It basically says that due to the flour mill being an integral part of food production, and the fact the company privides a lot of different products for restaurants and grocery stores they are required by law to stay operating through this crisis..

Distinct Lunatic Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I would have gotten 10 days off in a row, the deal at work was we were originally to do 7-3:30 this whole time, but our boss told us that instead we can do rotations of 7-11am. At the building I'm in there's me and two other guys, the way we decided it was we'd do 3 days, and get a total of 10 (including weekends) off, me going first, doing my 3 days... and someone had to ruin it for everyone. The deal being that will happen but if our guys fuck over our boss he'll end it and have us all work every day of this, and apparently the guys in 3 of the buildings fucked him over in the first couple of days, him pulling the plug on it and punishing all of us. So for the rest of the month we'll be working 7-11, and if he gets fucked over again he'll have us all do the 7-3:30 as was the original setup. I hate the people in my union, just about every time we're given something nice, someone always ruins it for us. This happened before I started working here, before I started our previous boss who was new at the time decided to be nice and allowed people to save and use their vacation days whenever they want (normally people here are forced to burn all or the majority of their vacation days during the summer period, it not being until you've been around for a decade before you can save a week for whenever you want) the only thing the boss asked was for people not to take Mondays and Fridays off, that being something many of the guys would do whenever they have to use their vacation days, them getting 4 day weekends and 3 day work weeks. And what happened was for the first couple of months after 8-12 people were taking off every Monday and Friday, him having to spend a lot of money in paying others overtime to cover them. The boss moving things back to the original policy the following year. tl;dr I'll be working through this because the people I work with always have to ruin everything for the rest of us.

Distinct Lunatic Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 And just like that, Governor Pritzker has essentially given me my quarantine vacation back https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-coronavirus-illinois-shelter-in-place-lockdown-order-20200320-teedakbfw5gvdgmnaxlel54hau-story.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
