“You know the drill: You’re suspended pending investigation” “What for?” “You know we can’t tell you that.” AKA how to lose an employee in 2 minutes.
My workplace called me to let me know I’m “suspended pending investigation” but won’t tell me what I did, who complained, or how long I’m suspended.
This is the 4th time its happened. This is routine protocol for the company. I told them I’d quit if they did it again… they did it again. So I’m out. I’m putting in my notice Monday and finishing out the month.
I’m scared to lose the income, but after that call I’m done, body and soul. 7 years of working. I once thought I would be in this field for life. Now I am done with anything in the shape of it.
Employers, don’t do this. Don’t put your people in the position of always having to watch their backs from their own workplace. Working is hard enough. It will cost you devoted employees.
EDIT: Wrote and just submitted my formal 3 weeks’ notice to resign. Finishing out the month to say goodbye to the people I like and try to get in a few more paychecks, and so I don’t put them in the lurch.
Netizens’ comments
- Suspended pending investigation 4 times is sus to be honest man. You can’t suspend anyone without sufficient evidence to do so.
- You should have quit the first time this happened.
Start looking for another job now while you’re suspended. Give as little notice as possible. - This just rings of ‘we’re going to make you quit’. 4 times and they don’t see a problem with no info? They’re aiming
- Not telling you who did it though is just commons sense, because they’d rather not have employees seeking vengeance on one another.
