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.

So, if anyone works in medical billing and needs a supervisor, hit me up.
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.

Amen to that - got a few of the #1s under my name haha [emoji23]

Adam, I would say the only sensible strategic move is for her to hand in her resignation. One of two things will happen. Either your wife gets a new job and moves on from what sounds like a shithouse of a “boss”, or they sort things out in a minute when they realise she isn’t someone you can fuck with.

Agreed. Even if they did sort things out and properly compensate her it would be a case of too little, too late.

Totally with you @gaseousclay too little, to late but a classic move, lets first try if she is okay with it, happens to me pretty often in B2B Situations, I don´t understand these People at all, Fairness don´t seems to be a thing with some.

@tvenuto we got here because companies make it their business to understand and bend/break the law. In my work I make it my business to know and understand all of the legislation I work with better than those that basically pretend to know it. Unionise companies and organisations. Form workforce support networks…I started a mental health support network at my work. 2 years on we have been involved in the review and rewriting of policies that have hugely benefited all employees.
Employees have a duty of care to their employees (in the UK and EU at least, can't comment on the USA). Organisations can't function without custom or staff, and they should look after both.
@Appfaff I hope your wife gets her due. I hope it's a case of managers and accounts not knowing their arse from their elbow rather than being deliberate.

@neph93 shithouse, in the south it's derived from 'brick shit house's…for our foreign friends, a brick shit house is what most house had throughout the early part of the 20th century when plumbing did not permit toilets indoors, meaning that a small brick building was built in the yard....a brick toilet, or 'shit house' ...in my job it was only a couple of years ago that I worked with older people that still had outdoor toilets.

Cheers everyone for the advice.
Everyone acted like it was a huge mistake, but then couldn’t give a hard date of reconciliation. Until it is resolved, Im viewing it as an insult to our family.
Guilty until proven innocent in my mind when it comes to big business.

@Appfaff I have a photo of your wife's boss's domicile.
I know it's not a solution but a kick in the dick seems appropriate. Actually that is a solution. The best to your wife, those fuckers don't deserve her.
-
Truth be told, they are all afraid of her leaving, so they are usually too quick to offer solutions, oftentimes being able to formulate said resolution. She believes that is what happened in this case. Her live for her employees outweighs all… probably why she produces higher numbers than managers twice her age.
Plus, since I am a bit of a mystery to them, they are pretty quick to think I’d probably be able to make bodies disappear if I needed to.
