35 Corporate Policies People Found Out Existed Only When They Started Working

Most places offer long term disability insurance. If you have people that depend on you make sure you elect to pay for it in case something like this happens

My former boss did for my coworker who just passed away a couple months ago. She was diagnosed about 5 years ago and as far as I know he kept her on payroll for quite some time. He was awesome. I miss working there so much.

The Mechanics shop my Brother In Law worked at when he got CJD (Crutzfeld Jakob's Disease-human version of Mad Cow) kept him on the payroll so they could keep health insurance. They also set up a small Scholarship for Students going into Automotive careers. Cody died in March of 2020.;

Pity I could only upvote this once....this is what makes a business...I was happy my manager gave me 2 1/2 weeks paid for the death of my dad, and then the same for my mum 10 months later, they are only required to give 5 days

I went to prison over 20 years ago, and never went back. Honestly the way my life was going at that time, prison saved it. But I made a choice while I was there to never return because it was horrible. I did every AA/NA, parenting, rehabilitation and any other program they had to offer to change my mind set before I was released. After I did a one year program, got a job, got a better job, then a better one. I found a lawyer who I assume miss quoted me on how much he would charge to have my felony expunged, which cost me about $900. But when I got out they offered me no assistance and had to pled to be put in to a program and beyond thankful that those women taught me how to live. I am back in contact with my children, I am a grandma and happily married. People have to make a choice as to what life they want, but there has to be programs out there to help them make better choices and give them the opportunities to take a different path.

I was just listening to a radio program about him - he sounds like an amazing guy. The kind of person the world needs.

This is offset by how many ex-cons get jobs, rip off their employers, quit showing up for work and commit horrible crimes on new victims leaving the employers subject to lawsuits. Just DON"T commit the crime (3.5 years Juvenile Detention as teacher and Administrator).

I've seen pictures here of their sign offering free cleaning.

Thank you. I live in the UK and use Timpson's sometimes, but I didn't know about this.

I once applied for a job somewhere that would give that every 5 years to every associate. 2 weeks too.

My wife works for a hotel brand, way more than 50 branches though. She won manager of the year, 2 tickets anywhere, 10 days free hotel stay, rental car, 500$ in spending cash, 500 in food and beverage credit at the hotel.

How can 50 branches be considered small??

Nice

Thank you. People often complain about utility companies. But when there's a crisis, all of you are pulling extra shifts while the rest of us are staying inside.

Isn't that just the Federal Disaster Plan for people who work government jobs (in the US?)

The Electric Co-op which serves my area is amazing. Go Bluebonnet! They definitely have a plan,

Smart!

You DO NOT under any circumstances whatsoever send office employees anywhere near down lines!!! Just because they are down doesn't mean the lines are dead. You need to know which direction the power feeds from.

This sort of thing isn’t that unusual in certain fields like tech - if I die my partner gets a lump sum 10x my annual salary. It looks good but doesn’t cost much.

and is this still the policy in 2024?

They need to get that revised ASAP before the local labor authorities take a strong interest in the total disregard for employee safety.

I don't know why this made me laugh so hard, but as someone who actually works with a few people with a questionable amount of brain cells, I feel these few would follow these directions exactly as written just to prove a point. 😂

Good way to get high employee turnover.

Then a firenado hits...

Hahahaha! Good job, handbook writer & editor.

This is so sad. Being broke keeps you broke

I used to work for a bank one company, FUSA. I was in the retention department. I learned that Bank ones practices are if you have one late payment and you're close to your limit that they would jack your interest straight up as high as they possibly can, normally 29.9%. I also found out that they were holding payments to make people late, and I couldn't stand it when I heard that. So from that point on every time someone called me and said "I mailed my payment in but it just arrived late" I would immediately reverse any late fees, and lower them to a two year interest rate of 2.9%. And the supervisor didnt like it and I told the bank "why don't you fire me then and I'll take this to the new stations. "Bank was in business for approximately two years after that and they folded because the president, vice president and CEO were embezzling money.

Wait, what? A bank employee with a heart???

Carblays bank don't care about fraud tho even when it's proven

They did this for me. I had a flat that they said was not repairable, and they gave me a brand new tire. Like brand new. I was pregnant and had a 1 year old at the time.jt helped me a lot. Worked out for them though; now I buy all my tires from them.
