I’m on my phone and don’t have the effort required to make the meme but until it’s processed it’s as official as Michael Scott’s “I declare bankruptcy”.
Forcing someone to be your employee against their will is slavery, right?
Nobody is being forced to do work… do you know what life was like as a slave and are just being incredibly tone deaf or do you not understand what slave labor actually is.
When you have an oversight position you have to ensure there are no conflicts of interest the simplest method is to say you can’t work for another company while employed in that oversight position. The federal government tries to be even more accommodating and says you can even work at another company as long as you clear it with an ethics office. You are required to sign an employment contract where you agree to those terms if you want the original position.
In order to be free from that contract you need to process a form. It’s really not the most ridiculous thing to ask from people in charge of oversight to have just the slightest anti corruption protections that cause the minor inconvenience of getting paid money to not work…
This also wouldn’t even be a problem if the HR department was properly staffed instead of being recklessly cut as now they can’t handle a single employee taking leave which they are 100% entitled to
He submitted the form, but nobody will process it and let him stop working for them. It's impossible for him to leave.
The person who processes it is on leave. Shouldn’t people be able to take time off work and not have to think about work while they have time off?
Ideally that department would have an extra employee so the HR rep can go on leave without affecting others. The negative is literally just getting paid not to work which isn’t really a negative and from the taxpayer perspective it’s cheaper to pay a person for a few days that they aren’t working than to have a position that remains underutilized the majority of the time.
