Is this legal?

Just got suspended for three days for telling the manager on duty at work to go F U C K himself. Can he get away with this? Do I have any legal recourse? Many other employees are complaning about this steriod using F U C K..

Uh depends but you are probably being suspended for insubordination in which case there isn't much you can do other than be thankful you still have a job.

The place i used to work would slam the door and kick you to the curb for that.

Don't have to respect the man, but must respect the rank.

Good luck
 
Wildbill they dont want to pay unemployment man they wont fire me. Believe me I have been working there for 18 years this one guy has big personal issues with me. Hes even cost me my higher position which he now holds + 7K every year for the last four years. The only reason I have not went out to the barn with him is because hes scared & wont go.

Cuban- It depends on a few things. Were there any witnesses?. If there were then you should just take the suspension because he's got you. Do you belong to a union? If so, just deny the whole thing and let your steward deal with it and probably get it reduced to a discussion.

I've felt that way myself about a boss or supervisor but it's not a good idea to say what you did even if your boss is an idiot. You can get burned like you seem to have and you also bring attention to yourself which could bring you more problems down the road.

There are so many ways to get back at him. Use your imagination but be careful and find some really underhanded ways to get him. Don't get mad. Get even.

Cuban it matters not what your boss is. The world is full of idiots and politics. If you don't like your boss or he has a grudge against you, for whatever reason, there really is little you can do. What you did was pretty damn stupid and like I say consider yourself lucky to have a job. Almost all companies have very clear policies that state what you did is an offense that can lead to termination so once again no matter what an idiot he is you still is your supervisor and you cannot ignore most orders or assignments he gives you unless there are legal, ethical, safety, etc...issues that make you correct to refuse.

i was a land surveyor a while back and a fellow worker was pissed at the boss. the boss told him something and he had enough. he decked him. extremely funny. needless to say he got fired. but i'm sure it felt great
 
Were there any witnesses?. No but I told him to go ^%$^& over the phone. I have told many people what happened. Also I told the owner what happened. He didnt say anything about it.
This argument was all over my work truck needing reapirs for over 6 months. I just blew up after I called him on Sunday he said it was his day off. I said..dont you get paid to fix these things he said yea. Then he went on about that this is personal. I just blew up when he said that. So I was near his house then I said Ill show you personal bring your short little ass outside im around your house doing a job right here but cant finish it because the truck wont work. He talked shit thats when I told him to go f u c k himself. So they let me work mon tues wed because a guys on vacation. Then they suspend me thur im off fridays sat sun which are the busy days. Unreal!! This guy is just constanly harassing me. Hes even left me without a working truck for 4 months. We all have an asigned truck to every driver so I had to play ping pong with the trucks when other drivers werent there. Some days I had to leave because everyone was at work so I had nothing to drive.

WildBill there is a long history though. It would be a blessing if they caned me then at least I could collect unemployment. They have tried everything in the book to make me quit. Wont happen. Plus when I was in charge the owner would tell me to make people quit by doing shit like this..So I know their tactics so they dont work with me. Shrink you have mail.

balls- There was a much better way to handle that and the guy could have kept his job. You cool down and then wait a month or two and then hatch a plan of attack which might include a key, a 5 lb bag of sugar, slicing of a cable line, a power box getting shut off, damage to a water line, ordering every magazine and product to be sent to someones house, tons of food deliveries, scheduled service calls and so many other things. Not that I advocate those things but I have heard they are quite effective.

Your job is how you eat and sometimes you have to just keep quiet and keep your job. And then get even.

What kind of deal do you have with these guys? If you did something like this they could fire you and be done with you, not have to pay anything in unemployment. Still the writing is on the wall, you aren't welcome there so you either put up with it and accept its going to be crappy or go elsewhere. After all if you worked for a real company that wanted to get things done right they wouldn't put up with your boss and his attitude towards you having a working truck, but if the owner doesn't care then obviously its not a place to be employed.

Wildbill,

The owner is a very sick man right now. Also they wont fire me because I know too much if you know what I mean. They even fired me once without notice which is illegal without warning. Then they saw they made a mistake and unfired me. The only reason I dont quit is because I have too many years in to just walk away empty handed.

SHRINK YOU HAVE MAIL!!
