  • Manager gets in trouble for "Guess who will be fired next" contest

    He sounds like a really fun boss to work for.

    "...created a hostile work environment by suggesting its employees turn on each other for a minimal monetary prize," the judge wrote..."

    'cause there's nothing hostile about encouraging employees to rat each other out for FIFTY bucks....?

    Nice catch CC II.

      Perhaps that manager's name should go under the "Guess who will be in deep shit and fired next" contest.

        I think the manager meant well, but got too clever by half.

        Instead of encouraging employees to turn on each other for a pittance of a monetary award, just write a memo saying wearing inappropriate attire, using cell phones while on the clock, and having your friends hang out where they're not supposed to will result in termination. And post it where everybody can see it, have everybody read it and sign off on it.

        That puts the screw-ups on notice, and doesn't create grounds for a hostile work environment complaint.
