Can My Manager Actually Do This

Can my manager say I was fired even though I actually quit?

I won't win an award for most mature person.
Long story shorter: I'm 23. For the last few years I've had severe anxiety problems amongst others. It derailed my life socially and financially. I go from retail job to retail job while I get my life back together. I look visibly anxious at all times for no reason as part of my condition. People see this as weakness and I'm scrutinized by random people with petty remarks and whispers. The job I've been working the past 4 months is a crappy job for a large retailer. And I set region records for the job I do( anxiety is good for energy ). This is the first time I've had a rude and nasty supervisor who verbally abuses me on the low, but plays a victim when confronted. Lately, the work hours are terrible, pay terrible, Im training for a karate tournament and the job is getting in the way. I work everyday just to be drained physically and mentally so I decided to quit. Feb.3, I quit, cursed out my supervisor, did a middle finger dance in his face, we had a stand off, he threatened to cut me, I left. Nothing physical happend. I called the store assistant yesterday for my check and to find out what my job status was. It said I was terminated, which is a up in the air term. Apparently, my supervisor said I threatened to kill him to cover his tracks because I teased to call HR after the cutting me comment. MESSY. MESSY. I want to look for work, but don't know if I'm fired or quit on paper.

Can my manager really do this?

So wait, you aren't allowed to sit in your truck in the parking lot? Were you listening to loud music or something or just there? Why would she lose her job. Are you a good employee? that could be why, if your lazy and don't want to do anything don't expect the managers to be nice to you.
Technically they can tell anyone to leave the property.
And if you don't work the day that your buying food you normally won't get a discount its only on the days you work.
Sounds pretty bad, the Mcdonalds were I worked you were always welcome at the restaurant working or not.

Can my manager say I was fired when I actually quit?

February 3rd I quit my job because my supervisor and manager was treating me like crap and taking advantage of me even though I set records in our region for the job I do. I walked up to my supervisor and said I quit. After that I cursed him out and was escorted. On the way out when I was around the corner he said he was going to cut me. I went back and told him if he ever tried I'll F him up. I left and then the next week I talked to a lady at work who handles checks and stuff like this. I wanted to know whether or not I was written down as fired or quit. In the system I am written as terminated even though that doesn't tell you much.Also apparently after the situation they said I threatened to murder my supervisor even though it was the other way around to cover his tracks. What should I do while seeking in employment I don't want to screw over a bunch of applications because of how it is written.

Can my manager really do that, is it legal?

California is an at-will employment state, and hourly employees can have their hours or state of employment changed at any time. Only wage changes legally require advanced notice.

Unless you have a written contract with a certain schedule set into it, there is not much that you can do. I have seen other employers use similar tactics to get employees to quit (narrowing their hours down to a bare minimum, for example). Unfortunately for you, there is no guarantee of certain hours or a certain schedule for employees unless it has been specifically outlined in your Employee Handbook or contract.

Honestly? I'd talk to your boss and discuss the manager's behavior with him. Otherwise-- start looking for a job under better management somewhere else.

Can my manager do this?

I work in retail at an arts and crafts store, I'm a cashier. Last semester for school, I was sort of last to pick classes, so I just got what I could. I explained this to my manager, and gave her my availability. I couldn't work tues/thurs and haven't ever been able to close at the job, I take the bus and have no ride home. She kept making me close, getting out at 10-11pm, and I would have to call my friend who lives verrrrry far to take me home. I told my manager once again I can't close, for I take the bus, and I live on the other side of the city in the ghetto. I made my availability online, and she approved it. She did this twice, again. I called corporte, and they told the story to the district manager. Once he came to fix things, everything was okay for a month. My availability for this semester has more days I can work, since I was able to pick better classes. I was working last semester about 15ish + hrs a week. Now it started at 10 hrs, the week before at 8hrs, this week 4hrs, and next week 0hrs. She has me today getting off at 7pm, and the last bus today is 615pm, I have told her I can't work that, and started raising her voice, that "shes trying to run a business!" And I better use my school money to get me a car. I asked if I could start getting morning shifts, and she said, "idk, the girls working the morning are definitely liking their position, I dont think they want to trade." I have been looking for another job, because I'm the only one that is treated badly there, there is big favoritism with the other workers. But I'm not sure if she can just give me 0hrs with my availability she approved. Can someone help me?

TL;DR - You can but it probably won’t change anything or even get you in trouble.I hope this helps.You can. You can complain about anything at your workplace to HR, because one of our function is to maintain a positive work environment. Will it make you feel better? Perhaps. Will they ‘fix’ the ‘problem’ to make you more ‘productive’? Nope, not really.In fact, if the manager you’re complaining about is actually a friend of the HR employee, you could get into trouble. Office politics and such.What’s that? You’re going to complain anonymously? Don’t bother, we’d know who you are sooner than later.So what can you do? This complaint about the manager, is it only from you or do you know other colleagues who’ve had similar problems with the manager? If truly the manager have had similar complaints for the same problems in the past from other employees, then you probably have a chance for positive outcome. But I still wouldn’t bet on it.If you ask me when I’d complain about a manager to HR then my answer is when I have someone I absolutely trust in HR. Even then I’d make it off the record at first, casually mention it as we are hanging out outside the office.

You're not giving any information on why you want to do this and what context/setting in. So here goes generic advice:If this is simply a question of how to start and maintain a conversation for amount of time X, here are a couple of suggestions:pick an interesting problem from your current projects and ask them for their opinion (Have you found more about our competitors?, So that bug that colleague B came across yesterday is still proving to be a pain - have you seen anything similar beofre?)ask them about stuff "only they will know" (How did the company decide on strategy C?, What do you expect us to tackle in the next quarter?). Can make you appear curious and driven, as well as cater to their need to shine with their knowledge.find out about some personal, but not too personal, interest of theirs (favorite sports club, activity, pastimes). Find a way to have a conversation about that (ideally something you are also knowledgable about/interested in)In case your sole goal is to raise your profile, I would suggest to also take some acting classes or make a really good effort in finding things from the above (or some other) pool that you actually care about. Non-genuine conversation also has good potential to back-fire. And if your manager doesn't realize he's finding himself in one, that may also be a sign to question your manager.Maybe also wonder about how you can take actions and deliver results yourself that might make your manager want to chit-chat with you ...

No, that is grossly illegal in the USA and is wage theft. If your boss does this, report it immediately to HR. They will correct the time card and issue you the deserved pay. The place where you work could be not only heavily fined by the Department of Labor, but open themselves up to a massive lawsuit (in which they would not only have to pay you owed wages but could be hit with lots of punitive damages). HR wants to avoid this kind of lawsuit, so they will make sure you get paid right away (and if they had any integrity, would write up the manager and discipline him/her for trying to cheat you and put the company at risk for a major lawsuit).

It is definitely possible, and rather commonplace in today’s technology. Usually this is only done when there is a specific problem that needs solving, like somebody stealing from the register, or other specific security issue. Your manager has a personal life, and doesn’t want to watch you in her off hours just for fun. So don’t worry, just do what you should be doing as an employee.
