I dont know how to read
Time to update you CV and head elsewhere.
This is illegal most places. Might want to look into that.
Do these people work for the government 🤔
Why does HE get to make a unilateral decision on a subject of legal ownership. When did he get elected to the Legislature?
i would just consider those not property of the owner considering anyone can consider anything to be anything
“Oh, thanks! What I’d like is some extremely hot sauce in a bottle labelled ‘ketchup’”.
or mayo in a pudding glass
That lovely aged fish in a can from Scandinavia called Surströmming. Make sure to ask for that.
usually, you’re supposed to turn down the gift, this is just wrong
The only time I’ve ever had to agree to anything like this in writing was when I worked for a publicly-traded company.
I’ve heard stories of clients giving gifts getting pissed when the wrong person claims them, so it’s risky for not just legal reasons
When I’d get stuff, I’d always offer it to the employees first. My employees used to encourage vendors to show up to get free stuff. I’d let them get whatever they could. One employee got free night vision goggles.
Yeah, I’m a manager and I fully encourage my staff to take tips and gifts even though it’s against company policy. If a client offers a tip, I normally respond with something like “I don’t take tips, but if you and the part-timer want to to walk around the corner where there’s no security cameras, I’ll stay right here so I don’t see any money change hands.”
The part-timers need the money more than I do anyways. $50 won’t make a huge difference to me, but could be the determining factor in whether or not the part-timer has enough gas money to get to class next week. Plus they’re the actual boots on the ground making sure the day-to-day runs smoothly. I’m just doing paperwork and hanging out in case any big issues pop up.
Not saying a business/person wouldn’t try to do something this shitty, but this seems like such a low effort thing to fake. Literally just a word doc printed out and duct taped to a wall.
No.
They hang notices with duct tape…
Some companies would tell you not to take gifts in case they look like bribes
That’s true, but this directs them to the owner anyway, which is the same thing. It just goes to someone else. If this was actually anti-bribery policy, gifts should not be accepted full stop.
There is usually a common-sense bar where this is applied though. Some items on that list would for sure apply, but in that case the employee should politely decline, not hand the goods over to the owner. I’d like to think that’s fake. But, I can imagine that it’s very real somewhere.;
When I worked for a major database company they made me take annual training to explain that I wasn’t allowed to buy sex workers for potential clients.
So Oracle.
Was after the catapult incident?
Ootl…did the catapult incident involve a sex worker?
Multiple sex workers.
I’m even more ootl. What happened?
Were there multiple catapults, as well?
Nope, just one catapult firing sex workers into a hotel room and one of the calculations was off and she went splat.
Oh, so only one sex worker was involved in the catapult incident. The rest were no incident.
Duh, buying them would be capex. No one wants to do depreciation. Short term lease with a damage clause.
This guy businesses.
“buy”
So renting is not an issue! Or as a Service…
So many options left. Next time I talk to big red I’ll ask the rep about his interpretation of this training.
;)
My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.
It doesn’t say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though…
Make sure the dealer gives you a receipt.
…it feels like they told you whixh sex workers not to hire.
One place i worked at collected all gifts and had a lottery at Christmas, where employees could win them. I feel that’s a fair way to deal with this.
Oh that’s neat! I bet it could get out of hand though at a particularly high dollar company
In some type of job it is even illegal
Been with several companies that have the first part in their policy. It makes sense to avoid, or at best minimize an external influencing factor in company activities. Basically they don’t want to mess with lawsuits. That’s what company policy is for, protect the company.
The rest is owner greed. He doesn’t want the gifts to stop, he wants them all without doing anything to get them. Either enforce a ‘no gifts, period’ policy or let people do what they will.
When you work in certain fields there are strict laws around accepting gifts from customers or clients. None of those laws allow the business owner to steal them from you.
In the US, there is a legal precedent from corps stealing tips meant for employees.
That’s not actually legal anywhere in the US. However, it requires being reported so it’s hardly ever enforced.
