New job please! Venting sorry

Could a few of your get together and go to a higher authority? Like whoever is above the higher-ups? Or the Labour Board or something?

A friend of mine was going through horrid things at work, and was reporting. best advice she got: "Write everything down - when and where it happened, and what it was."

Well the higher ups own the whole facility so its up to them I guess. But they never seem to do anything as uich as they say they will. I mean my boss is a real A$$. He is in his 20s prolly and he expects everyone to work nonstop and do whatever he wants when he wants. He always picks and pokes at me because I refuse to take the full time 11 am to 7 pm shift they have open and tells me to grow up and be a big girl. I cant do the job being a single mother to a 3 yr old the hours just wouldnt work for me while rasing my son and he still keeps nagging and being mean about it....

If I look into the family leave act is that kinda like unemployment until you find another job or is it just a leave with no pay?

I've only heard of it, being in Canada, but I understand it outlines the LAW about employees needing medical time off work.

I also post on a hysterectomy board, and some women who are getting pressure from idiot bosses to go back TOO SOON are told about the FLMA.

Is there something like a Labour Board where you are? Where can unfair employers be reported???

Im not really sure. I will have to look into it more and find out. I know I need a new job but I have to work there until I find a better place or go to school for something I really want to do. That would be awsome if we did though. I wish I could just get him fired for being such a bad boss!

Look into it...you will help keep this person from hurting a lot of people. All the better if a few of you report him...whatever place takes those complaints would, I hope, treat them anonymously.

Family Medical Leave Act allows you up to 12 weeks without pay before you can be fired and having a doctors note would help to secure your leave. My suggestion is look around at the hosptials and if you want to go into nursing I know a lot of hospitals will pay for you to go to school as long as you agree to work for them for a certain amount of time after you graduate.
