HCL infosystems (Now HCL Services) story:-A person having 5 to 10 years of relevant experience has been allured to join the force in the hope of becoming a permanent employee after completing one year with the stipend of between 7k to 11k as per the HR statement.An employee completes one year then two year then three year and so on but never becomes a permanent employee of HCL. Being trainee, an employee is not eligible to apply for promotion or apply for annual salary appraisal or apply for another opportunity within the company.Every year, only Rs 500 is auto-fixed by system as stipend increment.Trainee must sign a one sided bond for one or two year at the time of interview to get selected or opt out.A trainee with years of experience with one sided bond is stuck there. He was fooled by the management to become a permanent employee after 1 year but year by year goes on and a person is still a trainee with same salary, same position and same work.Out of 100% manpower recruitment, company does 1% recruitment from placement at random University to show the public and government that they are also active in university placement.A person who gets recruited from University gets 3x times more salary even being as a fresher with zero industry knowledge and zero practical technical knowledge, and is also becomes a permanent employee from the beginning and moreover is also eligible to apply for promotion, appraisals and what not.No matter how hard a trainee tries but s/he is not able to reach his/her seniors, Senior’s senior and senior’s senior’s senior and so on regarding his/her salary and promotion and to be a permanent employee.A trainee finds out s/he is not the only fish in the pond who is suffering, there are literally hundreds of trainees are trapped in this vicious poison industry.A trainee works more than s/he should, s/he handles projects more than s/he should and a trainee is depressed every moment s/he spends in the company. Literally, no one is there who can help him/her to come out of this trap. S/he can’t switch company due to one sided bond.Trainee cries at office, in washroom and at his/her house and no-one is there to console him/her.Trainee calls his/her boss, trainee sends emails to his/her boss and his/her boss’s boss , trainee sends email reminders one after another with some gap duration in order to not harass them as trainee knows email etiquettes and always keeps low and friendly tone while writing texts/email or in calls. But, his/her boss are douche-bags as they play deaf game every-time intentionally to avoid answering questions.Without saying anything, these douche-bags raises salary of the permanent employees even they haven’t asked anything.Trainee decides to confront his/her boss, face to face this time as they sit in different office location, as boss and bosses are douche-bags, they end the meeting in just 15 seconds by giving unreasonable unbelievable excuse that “they will look into this matter”.Boss’s Boss’s Boss says to contact Boss’s Boss. Boss’s Boss says to contact Boss. And, ultimately boss says “he will look into that matter”. Hierarchy chain is just a sham, feigned and a bogus.When a trainee feds up with the system, s/he tries to resign, escape and abscond, when s/he does, a company gives no shit as they have already extracted every pint of blood from a trainee’s body and a trainee has become a good for nothing for them. So they don’t care at all, they actually never cared at all.Sometimes, a company is not done yet harassing and exploiting a trainee, so they starts sending warning letters to pay the hefty penalty to compensate.Penalty is equal to his/her one year stipend or sometime equal to his/her notice period usually one or two months. Trainee was harassed when s/he was in the system, trainee gets harassed when s/he is not in the system.If an exploited trainee serves given notice period when his/her contract/bond is expiring and leaves as per the regulations then s/he is not able to get a good hike in another company because while resigning s/he is still getting same salary as s/he was getting many years back in the beginning no matter how much new experience he has gained but new company always asks last salary. Trainee is fooled!Note- In one particular case out of thousands, after a lot of hustle and muddle, company agreed to make ONE trainee as a permanent employee, a trainee who served over 5 years but with one more condition by the company.What was the condition? A condition that s/he must sign one another contract/bond for next three years and salary hike would be only 3k increment.Agree? Go ahead, Not agree? fu*k off, company says.So instead the trainee said ‘you fu*k off!’ and left the company and till date never returned (it was not me though). No employee has ever returned back, no employees want to.This is the company’s condition and true harsh reality. This company is called HCL Infosystems (now HCL Services) Ltd.Ice on the cake- This company grabs low profitable business and then makes profit by exploiting it’s own employees. Client is happy and a company is happy, only trainees gets grinded in between.Internal politics in this company is at it’s best, more than BJP vs Congress. Even Sonia Gandhi and Narendra Nodi will want to resign from this company within one month.P.S- For trainees, altogether company is his/her boss or boss’s boss or boss’s boss’s boss. So when I say company it only reflects these douche-bags not the owner or the MD of the company. Because, these douche-bags represents the company for the trainees.HCL slogan is “Employees First” (What an irony! Oh Sorry, it means employees first to go to hell!)This Company is destroying many innocent people’s faith in humanity.In one another incident, one trainee’s grand-father died, s/he wanted to go to his/her hometown, Bihar, his/her boss refused to grant him leave by saying “Don’t make fake excuse just to get leave for few days, I know, no-one is died.” Further his/her boss continued “Work is more important for me, my own grand-father died few years back and I was not able to attend last days with him because my job pays my bills. So don’t make excuse and come to office.”But this douche-bag has forgotten that when s/he was young his/her grand-father paid all bills of his father’s not his/her current job.

Mannerheim informed Hitler, that if they harm even one Finnish Jew, then the Nazis would be driven out from Finland. He is told to have said to Hitler: “Over my dead body” regarding Finnish Jews.In 1942 all Jewish POWs were put in the same barrack, isolated from other POWs. All and all the Jewish prison barrack had 218 prisoners.Some argue that they were isolated so they could be sent to Germany, but facts argue against that case:The Jewish POWs got better food and clothes than Finnish civilians.Germans were well aware of what Finns thought about them.Himmler:“The only thing confusing Finland’s and Germany’s relationship is the status of Jews. Other nations obeyed Germany and oppressed their Jews and destroyed them. The situation in Finland is different.”Hitler said in 1941 about Finland:“A partnership is going to be difficult - we should be careful politically. The Finnish people are sensitive and we can’t patronize them like we patronize the Slovaks.”General von Falkenhorst to Governor Hillilä:“I got strict orders from Hitler to respect Finland’s sovereignity. It wasn’t based upon political reasons, the reason was that Hitler respected and admired Finland.”Kivimäki reported in 1942:“Führer has ordered Germany not to interfere with Finland’s internal matters. I have heard the same from so many independent sources, that we can be sure about it.”When Himmler visited Finland Finns already knew, that Himmler had no authority to press Finland to act against Jews.The Mental Strenght of Finnish JewsSeppo Jyrkinen, 29.03.2015In 1942 most of Europe was occupied by Germany and the German soldiers were feared by Jews and non-Jews.However the behavior of Finnish Jews was strikingly opposite. Every time a Finnish Jew saw a German soldier face to face, he looked at the German with an expression saying: “I am not afraid of you!”German soldiers had been forbidden from talking politics with Finns. Finns had “Germanic traits” in German propaganda.Finnish Army supported the political leadershipFinnish leadership had formed a strict attitude even before the Continuation War began.Mannerheim had warned the Germans “very seriously for every attempt to form some kind of a Quisling-government, which would immediately terminate all co-operation between Finland and Germany.”In 1942 Kivimäki informed, that “Führer has forbidden Germany from meddling in Finland’s internal affairs.”Some funny examples of Finnish Jews and German soldiers in FinlandSalomon Klass – "During the war Germans were trapped by the Russians, and it was Salomon Klass who liberated them.Afterwards a German General with his cadre went to Salomon’s tent to thank the Finns. He was surprised that Klass spoke German so well.Klass wrote later on:“I couldn’t stop myself from replying, that I am a Jew and my native language is Jiddish…. Everybody stared at me. The General got up and shook my hand saying “Personally I have nothing against You being a Jew”. Then he said Heil Hitler and walked out from the tent. His cadre said the same and disappeared.”EDIT:Finnish Jewish soldier Harry Matso remembered the situation when Captain Salomon Klass was given the Iron Cross:"Salomon saved a group of German soldiers from a Russian siege, because as the commander of the battalion it was his duty. We tried to say to him 'why on earth would you go there to save them!? Leave them there. But Klass was a soldier and fullfilled his duty.""Klass sat in his tent when two high-rank German officers entered with an Iron Cross.""They aired their Heil Hitler slamming their bones, but Klass only sat and was not interested at all. Klass told them that he is a Jew in Finland's army and he does not want anything from the Germans. The officers went pale and left. "***Leo Skurnik told his boss General Siilasvuo after hearing he was awarded an Iron Cross:“Bro, you have to understand that as a Jew I can not accept a medal from Germany. You can tell the Germans that I will wipe my arse with their honorary medals.”Siilasvuo went to the Germans and repeated every word. The Germans demanded “appropriate punishment” to Skurnik.Siilasvuo refused and said:“Are you seriously thinking that I will turn over my best Physician!?”Lotta Dina Poljakoff was also awarded the Iron Cross. She went to take a look at the Iron Cross and left without saying a word. That was her way of saying FY to the Germans.Mikael Livson was a Lawyer for the Air Force. He refused to greet German Officers. They complained about his behavior, but Finns ignored their complaints.The Finnish Army was the only army in the whole world, where a Jew was allowed not to greet Germans and with the acceptance of their bosses.Aron Livson “My father had a clothing store in Kotka. One day his boss approached him and said, that there is a Jewish merchant in Kotka, your father, who kicks out Germans from his store.“I told him that it is his right and there is nothing one can do about it. My boss pondered for a while and concluded, that nothing can be done about it and that was it. Case closed. “Artillery man Bolotovsky was assigned as an interpreter to Syväri, because there were still pockets of the German 163rd division. But his assignments was cut short.“The Germans wondered how well I speak German. I didn’t tell them that our family had housed German refugees for years already, which is why we spoke German at home.“I jokingly replied to them, that I am Jewish and you are German, how it is strategically important to also learn the enemy’s language.“The next morning Major Siistonen said that he advices me to stop interpreting, without any condemnation of my behavior.”The above mentioned incidents were minor and even funny to Finns, but from the POV of Nazi racial ideology they were absolutely shameful.It also proves how the status of Finnish Jews was strong inside the community. Finnish Jews never felt that they were less worthy or fearful in front of Germans.And more importantly; it was clear that the Finnish soldiers supported and protected the Finnish Jews who stood up to the Germans.Jyrkinen - Suomenjuutalaisten henkinen vahvuusEDIT: There are more stories if you are interested in reading:FINLAND OPENED AN EMERGENCY ESCAPE ROUTE TO UNITED STATESFinns have had to suffer for this sin for decades; After the Winter War we were again under an attack from Soviet Union and Germany was the only one offering us help - because the Western nations refused to give help to us.Today researchers still try to prove how Finns were also guilty of the Holocaust.In the continuation war about 300 Finnish Jews fought beside Germans. Germany even awarded three of them an Iron Cross, but they all refused to take it.When Himmler was in Finland in 1942, Finnish spies microcopied his material in secret. He had a list of Finnish Jews, nearly 2.000 names.PR Jukka Rangell shut him up by saying:– Wir haben keine Judenfrage(we don’t have a Jewish problem)***Finland did send Jews on a boat trip - but to freedom, to America!During the Winter War 450 American Finnish volunteers came to Finland.They returned back home on a cargo ship to New York; m/s Mathilda Thordén.The ship had only 14 cabins, yet it carried 167 passengers. About 100 had taken part in the fighting, the rest were civilian persons.But among them were 18 Jewish refugees, who were allowed to take all the cabins.American volunteers had to live in the cargo area. They voiced critisism about the Jewish refugees, who according to them were treated better and got better food than they did.The Finnish leadership fooled Sweden and Germany by going against the rules. Only Finnish or Swedish citizens were allowed on board.The refugees needed a special permission from the Foreign Ministry for the journey. The political scene had rapidly changed, which caused problems.They all had to sign the following certificate:”I hereby confess, that I am aware of the dangers and want to take the risk by boarding the ship to US.”Suddenly Thordén Lines Oy sent an alarming cable from Boston:”Kattelus Hujanen Martinpelto Tanttari Tuuli Nemeschansky taken ashore Tromsö.Germany had occupied Norway and despite proper documents, six volunteers had been arrested by the Germans in Norway. Finland’s leadership paid attention to the last name.Abraham ”Abi” Nemeschansky was a Jewish bureaucrat, born in Turku 16.5.1901, who had moved to Haifa in 1932.When the Winter War broke out, he returned to defend his old homeland. Now he was on his way back to Haifa, Palestine.Finland sent a note to Germany about the arrests.All men are releasedSoon Ivalo informed the headquarters, that all men had been released the previous day and they were on their way from Stockholm to Finland.The Finns' bluff worked.***Finnish officials tried twice in 1942 to get Sweden to receive 150 Jewish refugees from Central Europe.Sweden's PM Hansson refused, citing 'financial matters'.***Mannerheim pays his respect to Jewish War Heroes in Helsinki Synagogue.In 1944 Mannerheim attended a Jewish memorial for fallen Jewish War Heros.He asked a soldier where he had fought last.– Against Germans in Lapland.– Well done, Mannerheim replied and tapped the man's shoulder.***What happened to Abraham Nemeschansky, who was arrested by Germans?He lived a long life and died 80 yrs old in Haifa, Israel, on 2.1.1981.Suomi avasi pelastusreitin juutalaisille AmerikkaanEDIT 2: This shows how Finland is demonized even in United States. Imagine how difficult it has been for Finnish Jews to explain to the other Jews that they were not Nazis. Finland was the safest country for a Jew during the Holocaust. And Finns are eternally grateful for the input of Finnish Jews *taking a bow*Unrecognized Courage04/13/2017 03:23 pm ETThe rejection earlier this week by French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen of France’s responsibility for its police having delivered thousands of its Jewish citizens to the Nazis for deportation to the death camps in 1942, elicited justifiable outrage at home and abroad.The behavior of European countries during the Holocaust remains a hotly debated topic.How strange and unfortunate then is the refusal of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to commemorate a positive action unparalleled in World War II:Finland’s saving 100% of its Jewish population, despite the presence of hundreds of thousands of German troops and the Gestapo on its territory and Nazi demands for the Finnish Jews’ deportation.The complex history of Finland from 1939 to 1945 provides necessary context for the government’s stance on Finnish Jewry. After the Finns gave the invading U.S.S.R. a bloody nose at the outset of the 1939-40 Winter War, the massive Soviet numerical superiority in troops and materiel ultimately compelled Helsinki to sue for peace. Finland was forced to cede one-tenth of its territory, including the country’s second city Viipuri (Vyborg), to the aggressor.Unable during the next year to conclude defensive military partnerships with the U.K. or Sweden, Finland turned to Nazi Germany, allowing German troops to transit its territory preparatory to invading the U.S.S.R.When war broke out in June 1941 and the Red Air Force bombed Finland, the government in Helsinki declared itself a co-belligerent, not an ally, of Germany to show that the relationship was a marriage of convenience.Finland needed German military might to survive, but it did not want to be associated with Hitler’s ideology. Partially as a result of this distinction, the U.S., unlike the U.K., never declared war on Finland.Able-bodied men from the small Jewish community, like all other Finns, flocked to the colors, and several distinguished themselves. In what has to be one of the great ironies of modern history, three Jewish Finnish soldiers were awarded the Iron Cross by Nazi Germany. All three refused to accept the decoration, one of them expressing himself in the grossest possible language.The Finnish government in a remarkable “in your face” demonstration of its beliefs erected a field synagogue for Jewish troops at the front lines close to where the German and Finnish military sectors met and where German officers frequently were present.So perhaps what unfolded in August 1942 could have been anticipated. Hitler dispatched Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler to Helsinki with a ship intended to transport Finland’s Jewish population to the death camps.But in a private meeting Prime Minister Johan (Jukka) Rangell quickly silenced Himmler, curtly telling him: “Wir haben keine Judenfrage” (“We do not have a Jewish Question”).The leader of the Finnish armed forces, Marshal Gustav Mannerheim, also made clear that with Jewish Finns fighting and dying in his army, the government in Helsinki would not cooperate in the deportation of their community.No country’s history, however, is spotless, and wartime Finland had to make painful compromises. Finland turned over to Berlin 28 civilian refugee foreigners, including eight Jews from Central Europe, seven of whom died in extermination camps.It is worth noting, that when the Finnish media reported on the deportations, a scandal erupted, and ministers resigned in protest.Two years later Mannerheim ordered 160 Jewish refugees without Finnish citizenship sent to neutral Sweden to save their lives. The eight non-Finnish Jews who were deported in 1942 are now honored in downtown Helsinki in a monument dedicated by the Prime Minister of Finland in 2000.***The central issue, however, is that in order to save every single one of its Jewish citizens, Finland was willing to risk suffering the same fate as its Baltic neighbors Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which two years earlier had lost their independence through forcible annexation by the U.S.S.R.***A few weeks ago I had a telephone conversation with a historian from the U.S. Holocaust Museum about why the story of Finland is not exhibited there.She asserted that Finland was not unique in saving its Jews, citing the cases of Denmark and Bulgaria. I’m not sure why uniqueness should be the criterion for exhibitions, but in any case I reminded her that before Denmark carried out its famous fishermen’s boat rescue to Sweden, several hundred Danish Jews had already been sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. I added that although Bulgaria deserves great credit for also having saved its own Jewish citizens, it was complicit in the Nazi annihilation of the Jewish community in Macedonia, an area claimed by and under the control of Bulgaria.Only Finland was able to save all its citizens on its territory.Equally important, the downside risk to Finland was substantially higher than to other countries. I agreed with her that the importance of the Finnish army to the anti-Soviet war effort did make abandonment of Finland by Germany to the U.S.S.R. unlikely. But such speculation is far easier to make from the comfort of 21st century America than it was on the ground in the war-torn Europe of 1942. Finland had no guarantee that Hitler would agree to leave Finnish Jewry untouched and simultaneously continue militarily to support Finnish independence. If one is to indulge in counter-factual history, just imagine if every other European country with German troops on its soil in World War II had acted the way Finland did.Given the enormous stakes for the country, Finland’s behavior stands as an unparalleled act of principle. The U.S. Holocaust Museum would do well to memorialize the Finnish story, both to illustrate that in the real world moral choices are usually complicated, and to provide the public with an inspiring example of courage on a national scale.Michael Haltzel, former foreign policy advisor to Vice President (then-Senator) Joseph R. Biden, Jr., is Senior Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.Unrecognized CourageEDIT: Here you can see how much was done to save the Finnish Jews - and Jewish refugees from the Holocaust.The Ryti-Ribbentrop contract that put fear in the Jewish community was actually genious. Finland was depending on arms and food from Germany, hence Hitler tried to pressure Finland into occupating Finland by refusing food and arms to Finns.Finland’s leadership came up with the following idea: President Ryti will sign Personally the contract, after that Ryti and his government would resign, hence invalidating the contract, and Mannerheim would become Finland’s new president.Hitler was furious when he heard about it, because he knew he could not walk over Mannerheim and that Mannerheim would not bend to his demands.A German official was told afterwards, that Mannerheim could never had signed the contract, because Finnish people would never had accepted it.Anyway, here is how it went down:German soldiers appearing in Helsinki caused a panic in the communityFinnish Jews wanted to be saved in summer 1944An emergency plan for Finnish Jews was made in summer 1944. All two thousand Finnish Jews would have been transported to Sweden for their safety.Turun Sanomat23.4.2016 7:13”Stay on the frontier, don't come to Helsinki. It is too dangerous here" - this is how one Jewish family adviced their son, who was fighting on the frontier in summer -44.The panic in the Jewish community occurred, when German soldiers arrived in Helsinki during the Ryti–Ribbentrop-contract.– Phones were ringing after members of the Jewish community had seen German soldiers in Helsinki. One interviewed told how his uncle had called him saying "The circus has now arrived here too", according to Phd Simo Muir, who is a researcher at Leeds University.The worry for Finland's Jews had grown after March -44, when Germany occupied Hungary after Hungary's peace negotiations. The occupation of Hungary was a catastrophe for Hungarian Jews.– It caused immense fear and pure panic amongst Jewish refugees in Finland, but by June also amongst Finnish Jews. Seeing German troops and additional arms in Helsinki was the last drop. That is when Finland's Jewish community started to ponder about their own fate.Finnish Jews knew about the massmurders at an early stageEvents in spring and summer -44 compelled the Finnish Jews to make an emergency plan. The plan was to evacuate all 2.000 Finnish Jews to Sweden.– Finland's and Sweden's Jewish communities had negotiated the plan with Swedish and American officials. In United States the War Refugee Board was behind the emergency plan for Hungarian Jews. In this operation Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg participated, Muir tells.United States had promised to finance the emergency plan and all visas were ready. They only waited for the signal to go ahead.The Finnish Jewish community had during the years got information from Swedish newspapers about the destiny of European Jews. The details, for example how the death camps operated, were revealed in summer -44.– However it was perfectly clear that it was massdestruction by the end of -42 to both the Finnish and Swedish Jewish community. According to information they gained, about two million Jews had been killed by then.Which explains why the Jewish Council sent a warning letter to every Synagogue in December -42. The letter was to be read out loud to every member of the Jewish community. That is when the Jewish community knew that Jews were killed systematically in German-occupied nations.Stockholm had a special Finland-unitSimo Muir believes, that the emergency plan had been discussed even before the Ryti–Ribbentrop contract. Chairmen from the Finnish Synagogues had visited Stockholm, where they had strategical negotiations.– Swedish documents reveal, that Swedes saw first Norwegian and then Danish Jews arrive to Sweden. They waited all the time when Jews from Finland would arrive.Stockholm's Synagogue had a unit for refugees, and in summer -44 they created a special Finland-unit.Loyality to Finland was important for the Finnish JewryUnited States terminated all diplomatic relations with Finland after the Ryti–Ribbentrop-contract 30.6.1944. When Americans left Finland on a ship to Sweden, all Jews who had a Nansen-passport were given the possibility to board the ship and travel to Sweden with the Americans.Only one Jew travelled with them.– Americans were stunned, Simon Muir said.He believes that the Jewish community was extremely careful not to break the image of their loyalty towards Finland.– In other words leaving with the Americans, Germany's enemies, and leaving Finland did not look good.Nansen-passports were given to those Jews who were a part of Finland's Jewry, but weren't citizens of Finland.The Finnish Jews were very worried already in 1942. Finland had handed over eight Jewish refugees from Central Europe to Germany. And the Council had sent a warning letter to all Finnish Synagogues.– Still the Finnish Jewry trusted Finnish officals, even after they handed over eight Jewish refugees. The belief was, that Finnish officials would never hand over their own citizens. That would never had passed in the government.The situation changed dramatically in June -44, which is why the emergency plan was drawn up. However Finnish officials were against evacuating a huge amount of Jews.– When Sweden was granting visas to all Finnish Jews, Finland's leadership informed their negative stance. Only children, over 65 years old, sick and pregnant - according to evacuation regulations - could leave, but the rest should stay in Finland.Yet according to infomations the Finnish officials and leadership was prepared for their departure. For example in Turku many ships were ready to take off.– Some Jewish families had moved to the coast. Some Jews also left to Sweden on their own in summer -44.The emergency plan was never taken into use, due to the political and military situation changing in Finland in autumn 1944.Suomen juutalaiset haluttiin pelastaa kesällä 1944If you want to read more about what it was like, here is a new book written for foreigners in particular, so that they can understand the complex situation in Finland and how Finland saved their Jewry from the Holocaust:Strangers in a Stranger Land: How One Country's Jews Fought an Unwinnable War alongside Nazi Troops… and Survivedby American Jew John B.

The Military Police asked around if there are any Finns who can speak German.Our Captain told the Military Police, that we have a Corpral who speaks German. I replied that I know only a little German from school.He told the Captain, that he speaks Jiddish; a combination of German, Polish and Russian. That was good enough and he was assigned to be an interpreter. He had heard before the war the destiny of Jews in Germany and did not feel good about the assignment.I said to our Captain: “Freaking hell, do not send me there. I do not want to see them!”Our Captain replied: “Corpral Altschuler, I order you to be an interpretor.”The German commander asked me if I’m Finnish. I told him that my nationality is Finnish and my religion is Jewish.He asked me if there are Jews in the Finnish army. I replied, that in our army religion doesn’t matter, that we have Finns, Germans, Russians etc. We are all equal.Altschuler remembers to this day what the German commander replied to him:“I am not SS. I am not SA. I am not a Nazi. Ich bin Wehrmacht, I belong to the army.”“Personally I have never had any hatred for Jews. I am an Engineer and I had many Jewish pals in my office. I can’t stand those blackshirts. They are not any soldiers.”After that the cooperation with the Germans worked normally. Their Unit was transferred elsewhere after six months.When they were leaving the German Captain wanted to see me, he wanted to personally say goodbye to me.’Altschuler, we are leaving. I will never forget you.’That was the the last thing I heard from him.Salomon Altschuler joutui sota-aikana saksalaisen upseerin tulkiksi – ”Onko Suomen armeijassa juutalaisia?”

The first warning should be a verbal warning given to you in writing. Normally that’s not too serious. What you should do is to make sure that you do not make that same mistake again (in 6 months). If you repeat the same mistake within the given time frame you will be issued with a written warning and the third warning for the same mistake will be a final written warning. Thereafter you will be issued with a notice to attend a disciplinary hearing where you are allowed representation of someone in the company not external parties. The chairman at the disciplinary hearing should be an independent party not linked to the business.If for example, you were issued with a written or final written warning and you do not repeat that error in over 6 months, that warning expired and should you repeat the same mistake again after longer than 6 months, the process has to start all over again. By that I mean you can only be issued a verbal warning. The rule is that if you are issued with a verbal warning for late coming (example only) then you are disrespectful to your boss and refuse to take instructions (gross insubordination), the second warning is unrelated to the first warning and you cannot be issued a written warning to two or even ten unrelated charges. A written warning can only be issued if you do the exact same transgression as your previous warning.This law doesn’t apply to the U.S. where most employment are “at will”. This means that either the employer or employee could terminate the contract for any reason or no reason. A person should be careful when terminating “at will” employment. I’m aware of a young lady who was fortunate enough to obtain an internship from one company and full time employment from another company once the internship is over. She needed an internship as a prerequisite to graduate in her Masters degree. The internship job was offered to her after she signed the full time employment contract with the other business who did not have any internship positions. She enjoys working for the first company which is also closer to her home. Since she is already familiar with their systems and love the work environment and her coworkers, she’s prepared to accept the full time offer with the intern company. The second company is threatening to blacklist her and as a newcomer to the employment market, she is panicking.
