So far New Years isn't doing too good for our family. Two weeks ago, my wife was waiting to see if we got a new (used) van. She works at Goodwill. She called in to tell them that she would be late for work because the sales people was waiting from the bank to see if she got the van or not. Later on that day, the manager had somebody else to come in work for her. The next day my wife went to pick her check up from work and the manager told her, not to come back in after Christmas because she got the van. A week before that the manager and asst. manager bought our kids clothes and toys, they thought we didn't have the money to buy our kids anything, but we did. We didn't ask them to buy our kids anything. Now the manager is angry at my wife because she bought our kids clothes and toys and my wife got the van. Now the manager has my wife working shorter hours. My wife did get a hold of the headquarters in Charleston the other day and they didn't like what the manager did either, but they haven't done nothing about it yet. Goodwill has lost business with me. What would have you done if that would happen to you?

Your wife did have an obligation to go to work on time. If I was a manager I don't think I'd appreciate an employee coming in late because they were waiting for a loan on a van. Then I'd have to scramble around and inconvenience others to fill her spot. Did the manager actualy tell your wife he/she is mad about getting your kids gifts then you getting a van? Sounds petty to me. Maybe the manager is upset about your wife calling in late. I don't mean to sound rude, but there are always two sides to every story. As for what I'd do...If you look honestly at the situation and determine that your wife is being discriminated against then hire a lawyer.
Commuication is better. Giving on the note should be the answer. Whats up manager?
First, I think that your wife should have went to work as scheduled, if something were to happen with the van, like the bank call and give a go ahead with the van, it probably could have waited one day. I personally have had a car dealership bring me my new car and paperwork to my job, took my 15 minute break and signed the papers and drove the car, not hard to do. They bought toys and clothes for your kids without asking, so give them back or tell them to give them to kids that really need them. Maybe the manager is jealous of you for getting a vehicle. It just seems like a matter of resentment, called in late so you could go get a new car? well, I'll just show you.... Not fair for the manager to cut her hours regarless of the situation.
Well there is two sides to ever story. And the other side to this is that Mrs. wire is the all time walking around work saying how she does not have any money for food or other things for her kids. So at Christmas all the employees at Goodwill dedcided to help her with Christmas. No wendy did ask for help. We just wanted to show how much we cared about her and her family.
And as far as her being sent home she was suspened for 3 days because she did call in two hours ahead time before her shift began, she wanted until the time she was schedule to work and that she would be in at 5:00 and then she called back at 6:00 to she wasn't done. So therefore the asst. manager called someone else into work, and then called Wendy back to let her know that she did not have to come in, Wendy answer her phone so the manager left a message. This had nothing to do with the fact that she was getting a new van, it was the fact that she felt no obligation to her to be at work when she was to be at work or that someone else would have to cover her shift, she had also been off from work for two days pior to that, so why couldn't she take care of that on her days off. And asr her husband wirting this commment he does not even work he refues to get a job. And want even take care of the childern when they are sick, Wendy has to call in to work. So if Wendy does not how will they pay thier bills.
spell check please. sorry couldn't help it.
This sounds like some kind of personal attack. What do you care if her husband has a job? Why is that your concern? I totally agree that she should have gone to work and should suffer the reprocutions. People need to learn how to leave their personal issues at HOME.
