An employee clique is causing problems. You’re seeing this as a social issue (and trying to solve it from that angle), but it’s not. That’s like trying to solve a sore throat by putting a cast on your knee. He said if I only waived health insurance could he offer $60k. It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go….

Last year they were able to rally enough friends and coworkers to help, and they’ve stated that they want volunteer workers only so they can avoid workers comp insurance and OSHA requirements. As my dad said, “This doesn’t pass the sniff test” so my question is, is this legal? Is it a hobby or a business?

Broken furnaces and legal issues don’t stick to the 9–5 either. Moreover, the wrong provider can create more headaches and work for you in terms of problem-solving.

1. “Three months ago I was summarily fired by my main employer (75% of my job, health insurance, 401(k) match, etc.). A Zoom meeting I thought was going to fine tune my role was instead him reading from a legal statement about laying me off as of that day. It’s your Friday good news! I was completely blindsided and stunned.

The problem is that, ever since then, Ron has been very cold to her. In the past, Ron has made comments like “legally, how far do we have to accommodate her if she can’t do her work?” I like her personally, and she’s a fast learner and a good employee. You’ll likely need to keep reminding him in the future.

As I wrote in my original letter, I wanted to stay in the job because my young adult daughter was seriously ill and in psychiatric treatment, and needed the insurance for her treatment. Half of my original problem is solved, as my ex-husband resigned as head of department a few months ago, to my immense relief.

There are lots of legit reasons for someone to turn their video off — like bandwidth problems (especially if they share a network with other household members), or they’re eating and don’t want that on camera, or they share space with someone who doesn’t want to be on their video feed. Can I require them to keep the video on?

If anything else like this happens, at that point I’d go back to your manager to problem-solve because you can’t walk on eggshells around Jane forever, but for now I’d assume this was was one bad incident but won’t become a pattern (until and unless it does). Interviewing while missing several front teeth. I hope that makes sense!”.

It’s starting to get really frustrating to listen to her negative stories when the cause of the problem is so obvious. I don’t know that you can solve this. I’m required to sit through marketing pitches to buy insurance I don’t want. What else can I tell her? Any thoughts? It’s an awfully roundabout solution.
