Waking me up for a non-emergent reason (well, with one exception) would NOT play well for Brandi [emoji16]

"So, who models the clothes on the Iron Heart website?"
Why, does she want to
Maybe IH needs to push chicken legged 777’s with a 0.5” inseam and also show how two bandannas tied together works as a bikini top. There’s a market for it, I’m sure.
(@Untucked sorry buddy [emoji16])
Honestly, that's LIKELY the only way she'd agree, lmao!
How would she feel about one bandanna? [emoji23]

This whole discussed is a bit warped.

As a pretty protective husband, this morning was a complete kick to the gut for me.
…
Back in January, my wife was pulled from her three management sites to step in and try to reverse some bad situations other managers had created with clients. Profits were down for sites and the employees were not doing their jobs well.
In less than 6 weeks, she turned two of the three sites, who were on edge of breaking contract and moving to new providers, around and actually got a huge referral from one. Needless to say, her supervisors were ecstatic, and we were pretty happy to see how her review would go in March.
March rolls around, no word from her manager. Mid April my wife reaches out and asks if they are going to do her review anytime soon. Her boss said they are working hard to get her a sizable raise in thanks for her hard work.
In May they sit down with her and present their offer. A commission/bonus structure that would provide around 50% of additional salary paid out each month. They said they based it on her March and April numbers, so we were thrilled. June 1 rolls around, no additional check. When asked her boss says it would have to be based on contracts date and would begin to pay last week of June. July 1st rolls around, and her boss says accounting did not have enough time to insert the payment into que, and it would happen end of July.
So today was the day. My wife has worked super hard the last three years to become known as the top manager (and youngest) within her company, and since we are moving into a new house in 2 weeks, she picked out some items she REALLY wanted. Since her bosses gave her the amount she would receive during their contract offer, we agreed to invest in the items she wanted for the house (she never asks for anything BTW) and was super excited.
She went to bed nervous last night, hoping to see a number larger than her standard paychecks, and woke up with excitement this morning. When she looked at the bank this AM, all I saw were tears rolling down her face.
One days wage.
One f**king days wage was the bonus they gave her.
One extra f**king days wage per month.
I told her I would write a check for the balance and hand deliver it to her boss and say “obviously you need this more than us,” but she is too prideful to degrade anyone that way.
So now I’m just sitting here pissed off thinking that if this was a male employee they wouldn’t have had the balls to do this.
So, if anyone works in medical billing and needs a supervisor, hit me up.

Hopefully they make it right. I told her to call them out on their shit.
Luckily, her superiors are not what I would consider “strong men.” I’m hoping they own up and call it for what it was… and then remember the situation.
But this was a horrible way for her to start a holiday going to see her family in Ohio.

That is complete shit.
I'm really sorry to hear your wife got jerked around like that. I hope she shames then into giving her what she earned.
Regardless, she sounds like she's a skilled and competent worker, and there are always other jobs for people like that, which is perhaps what she should start thinking about.
-
Sorry to hear @Appfaff. That's absolutely infuriating that they would do that to your wife. Hope this gets resolved

Boss is acting like it’s a mess up… we will see.
People are quick to push blame when they mess up tho..
Thanks for the support crew

Workplace bollocks, I know it very well.
Have worked for a very illegal window fitting company who completely ignore all UK laws and get clean away with it.
They paid me cash without even discussing it with me, gave me zero safety equipment even though I has handling glass and chemicals all day, made my buy my own tools and I could go on and on.
And they had massive council contracts, I was changing windows on council owned estates in Tenby for pembrokeshire council.
I was not self employed and they gave me no contract, telling me I was on trial.
They ditched me after 7 weeks without any notice at all.
Kevin Thomas you are a c@@t

Adam, that is just the worst. I'm sorry to hear that they're trying to play your wife like that. Hopefully she will have the strength of her convictions to continue to speak up until they make it right. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the "professional" men in this world assume that women aren't going to stick up for ourselves, and will just go along with whatever is doled out. Does she have any email evidence of their promises?
-
Thanks Ann,
Yes she has documentation, signed contracts, etc.
They keep saying “it’s in the works” and when can’t figure it out keep saying “it will happen next month” - and then say no back pay is given on agreed upon pay periods.
It just makes me hate corporate America more and more.

The best thing y'all can do is for her to simply leave. It's hard not to react and seek vengeance, but that will not be a good move long-term.
Maybe I can help: I work in healthcare on the vendor side for a large company that plays in revenue cycle and related areas. Hit me up, we may have opportunities she would like and the company treats employees well regardless of gender (my boss and her bosses boss are female, and our team composition is at least half women). She would be able to work remotely.

I’ll hit you up McLain

I’m sorry to you and your wife Adam. That stinks. She deserves better

@Appfaff It’s ridiculous that companies take one of two forms:
1. Extremely small ones that take care of their people (even at the expense of the owners)
2. Medium to large ones that will go as far as the law allows to screw their own peopleNot entirely sure how we got here. Perhaps it’s that the good-conscience having small business owners just aren’t ruthless enough to grow? I know that you know all about being #1. And what’s funny is that often clients and employees act like #1 companies are #2 companies anyway.
