Joe had multiple chances before anything there were consequences. Joe should have sat done with his boss and explained his situation and even called in to the office and let them know he was going to be late. As far as the five days suspension goes had Joe been working in the private sector, Joe would have been fired not just sent home for 5 days. It is Joe’s responsibility to get to work on time not Sam’s. tag:blog.nffelocal1563.org,2009-07-13:2266291 Denise T 2009-07-13T12:44:19Z 2009-07-13T12:44:19Z It needs a little gramatical editing, but it was a good story. Sadly, it probably happens often. So many of us aren't completely familiar with our rights as employees. Many times we are told things by our supervisors that are incorrect. I have had personal experiences with this. It makes me want to learn more about the correct way to handle problems. tag:blog.nffelocal1563.org,2008-12-06:1593132 BW 2008-12-06T20:32:53Z 2008-12-06T20:32:53Z I completely agree with what this letter is stating. Too many FS employees that have been injured on the job have be denied all their rights as an employee and made to feel less than human due to an injury through no fault of their own. We have too many times seen injured workers forced to come back to work before they are ready or be threatened with the loss of their job,we have seen employees that are forced to move into another job series at a much lower grade than they were before the injury or loose their job. It is time that the Forest Service and the Government be up front and honest with the employees and the public. It is time that we have a Chief that when says they are committed to something that they prove it. Talk is cheap and takes no effort to do, action is what takes effort, making and holding Leaders, Managers and Supervisors accountable for their actions or lack of is what takes effort. The GOOD OLE boy days should be well behind us, but it is not in the Forest Service. tag:blog.nffelocal1563.org,2008-12-01:1577252 high_country479 2008-12-02T02:38:00Z 2008-12-02T02:38:00Z How many Joe's are out there? Too many! To all the Joe's out there please..... No actually I am not begging just telling you to call your union rep. immediately. Don't let it go. This illustration is exactly how it happens. First its ok, no big deal, then its all used against you. Every little word you have said and every little thing you have done ( and the little letter of warning ). Take this advice. Don't be a Joe, ask for your union rep.
