BEWARE : mistreated at work

*Had to clear the post of all sensitive titles because the employer in question remembered her actions and called to argue it.

employees should watch out for their actions, there's countless places online that any of your actions can be widely exposed.
"
She tries to squeeze every second out of your if you try to be an assistant for her. She only pays you 4 hours each day and does not allow you to do any over time work while you have to finish 15 copies of 50-page report binded and sent out within a week. The strange thing is she didn't clearify the due date form the start. And for the report, you have to start from scratch, there is no template for everything, you have to type all the contracts and agreements out and do all graphic designs from zero. While at it, she has other things for you to do like fix printers, fix her computer, and type letters, once the 4 hours is up, she asks you to go home. Yet she blames you for not meeting the deadlines for the report and dismissed me from the job right after report was out, completed with all my due diligence.

On top of everything, she has no respect for her assistant, throwing paper clips in front of your face and being rude and shouting "don't even look at me, just do your job". and call people "no brains"



Edit: For anyone who's interested, I looked up some information about Wrongfully Dismissal on CBA.org and put in my reply post below.


disclaimer : this post is merely to share the experience with a good intention so people can be beware of bad employees, and not to hurt anyone mentioned in the post.

what legal action can you take?

you worked 4 hours, she paid you for 4 hours,

she didnt sexually harass you, or display any kind of racism or discrimination, she just treated you like shit.

Welcome to the real world, get used to it.

Dude, as Glove said... she hasn't done anything illegal, she's just a jerk. What are you going to sue her for exactly - being mean? Just quit.

You sound like this situation seems perfectly normal to you? Do you treat your employees this way?

I think every person has the right to feel being treated equally. Especially when I couldn't talk about this at work of course and can only figure out what's right on my own time, which is the reason I posted this experience. And the that was a part of things relevant to the job that seemed irrational to me.

I just hope that there is some way to correct her actions so things like this can happen less.

You can't change others. Well you can.. but more often than not, it's more trouble than it's worth.

There's nothing here you can sue her for. No, she obviously doesn't have the best ethics, but what are you going to do? Either suck it up or leave.

still need to find out if anything applies to me, but just fyi

If You're Fired: Wrongful Dismissal

If You're Fired: Wrongful Dismissal

If you are fired without just cause, are you supposed to get notice or severance pay?
Yes. The following sections explain the details.

How much notice?
Your employment contract may say how much notice you get. If not, the contract has an implied term (oral or written) that the employer will give you reasonable notice of dismissal. Either way, an employer gives notice by telling you that your job will end on a particular date. Until that date, the employment contract continues – and so do your and your employer’s obligations under the contract.

How much notice is reasonable? It depends on several things including the type of job, how long you had it, your age, whether similar jobs are available, and your experience, training and qualifications.
You have a duty during the notice period to look for another comparable job. The employer may have a duty, during the notice period, to let you look for another job, so you won’t be unemployed when your current job ends.

Keep reading:

Quote:
A guide to how much notice and pay
The Employment Standards Act (the Act) sets the following minimum amounts for notice (or pay instead of notice) that must be given to an employee dismissed without just cause. If you have worked less than 3 months in a row, the Act does not require any notice or pay.
If you put up with that level of bullshit for longer than three days, you're a fucking moron. No job is worth that kind of aggravation.

If I was in your position, I would have just fucked everything up, cut wires, delete programs/files, spill coffee on papers, etc..

4 hours of work who gives a shit about the pay, I would have spent that time making her life miserable if I was treated like that.

I've had jobs in the past where the managers treated me like shit.

Quit the job, and if you really want, file a complain to someone higher up in the company and hopefully she gets fired.

pretty much all you can do.

If someone requires an assistant, it usually means their job is stressful so don't expect your boss to treat you like santa's little helper. I do not agree with the way she might treat her employees, but you have have to remember it's a job, you're paid to be here which means you can quit if you don't like it.

People change when they realize they have command over others. It's not uncommon for a boss to mistreat employees. You can either suck it up a for a pay cheque or walk away with your dignity

They'll take complaints about conduct as a realtor... I doubt they'd even want to hear about conduct as an office boss. How she treats employees has nothing to do with how she sells homes.

Wrongful dismissal? did you even mention something about being fired? If you did get fired, sounds like she did you a favour anyway

"Don't work for Cunt's" /end of thread.

if you found out the 1st day she was a pushy old hag without an ounce of any happiness or respect right off the bat,Your retarded for staying around being all Disparate & weak...

for me,it would have being...Fuck You..(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻),& if she got pissed i told her to fuck off,she'd have a nice surprise waiting... yeah those paper clip's in the face would have meant a nice warm spit in her face.

just work for her again & when she tells you to the fix the printer and computer,do this...walk out the door with it open & blame it some crackheads.../revenge solved

Hope this isn't serious lol, unless you have developed a good rapport with your employees.

If this is a serious post, it might be good to talk with your employees in a group setting and see if they are cool with your antics (workplace humour) and that they shouldn't be afraid to speak up? It might seem fun to you, but could just be another situation of workplace bullying.
--------------------------------------------------------------


To the OP, most of what you said is experienced by many who've been in the workplace long enough. Deadlines have to be met, and be prepared to be criticized if they aren't. Can't work OT, yeah; you should tell that to the staff accountants on Public Accounting Firms that put in shitloads of free time during auditing season.

The only thing you stated that was unreasonable to me was her throwing paper clips at you, telling you to "stop looking at her."

It's times like those, you just have to flip her the bird and walk out. Life's too short to work with dicks (or bitches in this case).

I don't see you having too much of a case, unless you documented all the times/days she harassed you. And if that Jason dude, co-operates with your side of the story.

Other than that, the other recourse is posting your side on ratemyemployers?

OR, put some key phrases here, so her name pops up in the top searches of Google!

That explains why there weren't any previous files or templates that her previous assistant did to work from. I found it strange that she's been a broker for years and I had to retype and redesign everything from scratch. The previous assistant probably fxxxed everything up.

She doesn't get it that there is only so much one person can do in 4 hours each day, Just right after you stress ur head off and complete the entire report, she blames you for not meeting the dead lines.
