Is a grievance worth anything?

[clean hairy]

ignore everything Upstate has to say.

Fixed it

It’s a pro and con situation... which is why I’m here. Is poking the bear worth it or not. Idk where you came from but go back if you’re that bothered.

File the grievance and keep your head down. Address management respectfully, giving them no cause against you.

If they do put a proverbial bullseye on your back, file again for retaliation. Keep filing until they leave you alone.

Am I wrong about the increased scrutiny that comes along with every grievance filed?

Unlike you (who I suspect never filed a grievance)
I have filed countless times.
They leave you alone once they realize they will be hit with a blizzard of grievances from a person who knows the comtract.
They then move on to another person as their target...

If they harass you after you file grievances call your area NLRB (Labor Board, government agency) and file charges on the company for them harassing you over your using your protected rights.
A ULP charge will get them off your back and keep them off for quite some time.
Record any threats and intimidation. Either rise and fight the unusual trash you get while trying to make a living here or learn to cower under it.
Your life is your legacy.

Wouldn't it be better to grieve for retaliation first? That way you can say you exhausted the grievance process first. I would think it would make your complaint look a little more credible, anyway.

There is a difference between increased scrutiny and harassment.

There is a difference between dog and cat poop.
But it's still poop.
Over supervising is harassment.

Did you acquire the trait of being ignorant or just grow up being a puke?
What the op posted was not what you childishly mocked.

I was mocking you.

It is a natural reaction for management to pay attention to an employee who files a grievance. This is why we were always told to have our **** together before putting pen to paper.

Additionally, there is a difference between increased scrutiny and outright harassment.

Mock all you want punk. Your is together but it's collected in your head and flows from there.
Troll on.

I have received checks on the past. Nice bucks. The steward would put top senority names on general grievances.

There is a difference between increased scrutiny and harassment.

Not when the increased scrutiny is meant to intimidate you into not filing anymore grievances, which is almost always the case.

 

[I have been lurking]

I understand his concern

quit whining like a bitch

 

[Justaloader]

My mistake.

That would be harassment.

 

[Justaloader]

That would be harassment.

Only if you can prove it.

Carry note book and pen and keep it ready at all times. Any time he says ANYTHING write it down and make sure he sees you writing it down.
