after months of my bitching

labor and relations has finally banned the use of vacation time as sick time. the wagies are enraged, they can't accept the fact they won't be able to call out 9x a month anymore.

Fricking r-slurs are gonna have to work for a living.

Kroger/FM is a burger-only company (from what I can tell from a quick Google). That means your state is the one without effective labor laws, and allows the corpos to do what they want (within reason).

You just gave Kroger/FM more money to hold in their accounts until the inevitable firing/payout, and incentivized wagies to turnover even more quickly.

That's not gonna fix anything, sorry to say. I get that it feels like a win because slackers are punished more quickly, but lack of ethics/commitment happens whether they get paid or not.

You'll still have senior employees at work being pulled from their duties to train new slacker wagies who don't care and frick off all the time, and mid-level employees forced to pick up the excess duties because there's no one else even marginally competent.

What would be better is either getting corpo to agree that PTO used for non-scheduled absences is no longer protected/excused under performance guidelines, or working to change labor laws in your state to something similar. Frick the corpos AND the freeloaders. Your work life is still going to be shit wall-to-wall anyway, make them all suffer.

After that ... find a way to force mid-level and upper-level managers to be held accountable for employee performance instead of getting sucked off or smoked out in the bathroom to look the other way. That's some long-game shit that will actually make a difference.
