[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 639789, member: 14557"] MWM: I'm aware US tends to have very low job security and especially the people in lower level positions are often treated badly by employers. However, if GM's daughter is a good worker, that gives her some leverage. While she can not demand accommodations, she can ask them. If employer feels those accommodations can not be worked out, it may well be better to start looking a new job and leave this one in good terms rather than try to survive, flip, cause herself problems and maybe end up to psychiatric hospital or even jail. If employer is not totally stupid, they will not fire good worker for asking and if they are smart, they try to accommodate if it doesn't cause them too much costs. Replacing people is costly. I made a bad hiring decision little over the year ago. While person I hired would had been a good fit, she only stayed a year, before she moved on. That hiring mistake cost about 30 000 $ for my department in hiring and training costs all together. Okay, it was professional position (but far from the more costly end of professional level hiring spectrum) and hiring for minimum wage positions is of course much cheaper. But it is far from free. No one with half a brain wants to get rid of good worker and have to start over, if they can avoid that. Of course things are different, if it is about so and so worker you are not sure you want to keep in first place. [/QUOTE]
