Please Read Can I Receive Unemployment Being That I Quit Job For Good Cause?

Posted by admin | Stress Management | Monday 22 February 2010 4:14 am

So my question is can I receive unemployment being that I quit for good cause? Should I quit my present job at the restraunt due to mental discrimination and reduced hours? Can I take a lawsuit against either employer? Please read what has happened it is very lengthy.
I started working at a restaurant in January 2009 part time as a host which I still am employed at. I was working on average 15-25 hours per week until the end of March 2009. In March 2009 I also picked up a second job part time as a cashier at a grocery store. After I got my other job they cut my hours back to only 2 days a week up to 8 hours for the week and only will schedule me on weekends. Both my current and past employer know that I have mental disabilities from a brain injury from birth frontal lobe damage which is the most advanced part of the brain. At first it was great working at my current job but after a few months I noticed my work environment became very hostile due to management and a few co-workers. A woman who is still employed their grabbed me around the waist and physically picked me up and moved me out of the way because I did not move out of her way fast enough. The same woman recently grabbed me by the shoulder pointed her finger at me and told me I should never interrupt her when she is talking and it is rude, she did this very loud in front of a table of customers. I was just relaying a message to her from another hostess. There are also safety issues in the work place including servers leaving there tray jacks sticking outward so customers and other employees can trip over. I had one guest almost get hurt and I myself got jabbed by one. I told the managers and upper management and nothing has been done. Every once in awhile I can’t make it in or am running a little late they tell me forget it don’t bother coming in we don’t need you. I had an instance where a co worker had to have a day off and could not find anyone to take her shift so I volunteered. Everything was great until she had to confirm it with my manager. My manager said they don’t need me to work for the co-worker because they don’t need someone for that day. But anyone that’s needs to work a double or pick up a shift is asked except me. One of the managers told me to say something about a server picking up a switched table or something in a fast tone of voice and I didn’t understand. I asked her nicely if she could repeat what she said and she turned her head the other way and ignored me. I then walked away after standing there for a minute waiting for a response. I recently went back into the office with my manager to see if I could get more hours and they said no because I am slow, am not independent and I can’t always think very fast. I think they have been trying to get me to quit and it seems like they are mentally discriminating against me as well! My other job I just recently quit. They too tried to force me to quit by making my work environment hostile and personally attacking me, not scheduling me for a couple weeks and it also made my health very bad and caused a lot of stress. These last few months I have had to see doctors and I due to physical health problems. When I started at my other job I really put a lot of time and effort in and helped a lot of my co workers out that need time off by taking shifts for them. There was an instance where I was on my way to work at the first job and I got stung by something on the way there riding a motorized scooter. My arm started to swell up really bad and I was getting dizzy. I tried working at my first job for a bit but the pain was too much to take. I was sent home on my way home I stopped at the other job that was supposed to work and showed upper management my arm, by then it was turning red and hiving up I was in tears from the pain. She then said ok go home get some rest we will cover your shift. The next day I came in and I was written up for missing the day before! There was a personal attack on me from my second job by one of my mangers and co worker because I was not able to take a shift for someone. From then on the co worker treated me very poorly and added to the hostile environment by going off at me in front of customers. One customer cared enough to get the co worker’s name. A few weeks later I got pulled in the office and was told money was missing out of my drawer and I would be put on audit. The same worker works cash office that has a personal grudge against me. I talked to upper manager and asked if she or anyone could have taken the money. I was told no. One of my managers told that co worker what we had discussed and the co worker again lashed out at me verbally. For the time I worked at my second job I was always on time for work and breaks. Except for a couple instances where I had to take public transportation. I was written up for being 2 minutes late. I was also then pulled in the office because I supposaly was late on a break by one minute another write up which is not

What Are Some Good Ways To Relieve Stress That Involve (safely) Throwing Things?

Posted by admin | Stress Relief | Thursday 11 February 2010 10:16 pm

So, I have a friend who has a “throwing” tendency when she gets upset – i.e. throws cell phone, throws shoes, throws paper clips, miscellaneous objects…you get the idea. I need some help coming up with a stress relief exercise of sorts (such as a punching bag, treadmill, shooting clay pigeons, doing 100,000 sit-ups) that would make use of her throwing tendencies in a safe and non damaging way to relieve stress. Throwing plates at the wall, for example, is not an option. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Much of it is polyurethane foams.

Any Suggestions On A Job That Pays 30k Or Above In Administrative Healthcare Field For Someone?

Posted by admin | Stress Management | Saturday 2 January 2010 10:13 pm

I have a diploma in Medical Assisting and I’m currently a clinic coordinator for a women’s health clinic. The thing is I was offered the position as a promotion–I really didn’t want to be in a management position but the pay was good and I needed it! I really am beginning to become stressed out to the point where I can’t sleep and I cry at least once a week after leaving work-which I knew I wasn’t management material but I wanted to at least try to see if I could do it–well this proves I am NOT good in management. I need a position away from direct customer contact – I’m burnt out I have done some sort of customer service for about 16 years. I am currently searching for something more clerical/administrative but I can’t find anything that doesn’t require a degree..which I won’t be finished with until 2008 and I need to make a change now before I go postal!! :-) Any suggestions on places in Cleveland, Ohio that I can apply to?

What Are Some Items That Can Go Into A Stress-relief Gift Basket?

Posted by admin | Stress Relief | Wednesday 23 December 2009 10:13 pm

Around this time every year I am tasked with putting together a gift for some of our employees. In the past I’ve done variations of movie-themed gift baskets with several different candies, popcorn, and a gift card to either Cinemark or Blockbuster. I am typically given around $35 – $40 to spend on each basket. Instead of doing the same thing again this year, a few coworkers and I came up with a “stress-relief” themed basket. So far we have a Starbucks gift card (price depending on my budget), coffee mug, chocolate, a stress ball, one of those little back massagers, and maybe some hot chocolate and marshmallows. The items have to be appropriate for a wide range of people. I have men and women aged 17-50. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
