Im unionized as well, one thing you gotta make sure to do is stand up for yourself and let management know you're not to be fucked with. You don't owe them anything, so don't be nice and do multiple work that others don't wanna do etc. Just focus on yourself first, which seems like that's what they want from you anyway.

The more you're difficult to push around, the less they'll pick on you. Idk how your union is, but if you were threatened with a displnary action, you can grieve that shit. Especially when it's something that hasn't happened (in your case threatening if your performance don't improve). If this happened to me at my work, I grieve that shit ezpz and thank the dumbass management, and set up a meeting with the gm or higher ranked employee with your union rep. The managers will suddenly lose their balls around you and never bother you again. It's all sadly politics and games, I fucking hate it but I hate being treated like you worse.

Ya. To be honest it would not be a big deal if that did happen.

I have a bad habit of thinking worst case scenario in most aspects of life.


Realistically I don't see how it would take long to find another job. I just don't want to have to start at a lower wage, wait for benefits and start another pension plan.

I think part of the problem is in an environment with scheduled raises you feel you sacrificed starting of at a low wage to hit top rate. In a union environment this usually takes a couple of years and the difference in pay is quite a bit so I would feel cheated if I were laid of in a sense.

If this job does not work out I am going to take a job that is more performance based. I have to admit it does bother me a bit that others get 4 weeks more vacation and ~10k a year more than I do based solely on seniority.



Why not apply to other jobs? See what’s out there

Diablo scheduled to dominate BlizzcOnline next week.

Big updates for D4 and Immortal, along with the rumored D2 remaster.
