I teach an underwater photography class at a university. One night a few years ago, we were going to do a night dive and a thunderstorm rolled in. Scuba diving and lightning don't mix, so we had to cancel the dive.
Students were all 21 or 22, and decided they wanted to go to a local pub for dinner, and asked me to join. I decided to go, and when we got to the pub the door guy was taking his job really seriously. He was examining their IDs super close, bending them and shining a flashlight through them, etc. It was taking a while because he was doing this for each of my students.
When I got to him and started handing over my ID, he just looked at me and said, "You're good, man."
Of they can show that they're not being treated the same as other employees who are making the same minor mistakes that may be able to claim unemployment.
All 50 states. At will employment makes it legal to fire people, but it doesn't relieve the employer of the requirement to provide unemployment if the employee is terminated without cause.
It just means they can't be forced to keep an employee on staff.
No. But aside from failure to show up on time or theft it can be hard to document cause.
Constructive dismissal is an employer trying to get an employee to quit specifically to avoid having to show cause. If the employee quits, then the burden of proof is on them, not the employer.
That's true in the US too. If someone is fired without cause, the company has to pay unemployment.
I've been the manager of completely shitty, toxic people who cause harm to the company and lead to massive turnover of other staff, but was unable to fire them because they showed up on time and met dress code, and corporate wasn't gonna pay for unemployment.
Language is humanity's superpower. It's what allows us to share ideas, pass down knowledge generationaly, specialize labor, and form communities.
Words have meaning, and intentionally avoiding words that accurately describe events is incredibly harmful. There's a reason that when a school is bombed, they call a bunch of the 13-17yo victims "military-aged males" instead of "children."
There's lots of "I bought this before I knew he was crazy" variants out there.
But if you're really committed and want to design something unique, I'll laser engrave it on something for you for free. I can do plastics, wood, and metal that can be attached with glue or magnets. Or I can laze a template for you if you'd like to paint it on.
