I’ve Been Threaten by… / myLot

…my company. You heard it right. I had been working in an online tutorial company for more than 2 years. Everything is smooth and goes with the flow in random changes in this particular company. I have also been chosen to be a specialist in one of their program. Recently, they kept on asking the specialists to undergo online training without pay. For me, this is fine and I tried to squeeze my time schedule since some of the slots were booked by the students. So I can’t find the time to match the training schedule from the company since the advisory were so late. As the course of action, I asked them to have the training by next week. Then, I received a message this morning. It is a bomb of threat from the company. They said I will be kicked out from the program if I cannot be able to book the training. At first, I thought that they will understand the situation and will be considerate enough. With their way of treatment, I felt so threaten. After a few hours, they had fixed the schedule of the training. What a terrible day to deal with my fellowmen? It is like they forgot that I and the others are professionals working in the company. We should not be treated like this.

@Yar_Joey I don't need to leave. The employees in that company are not my boss. It is typical fellowman practicing their power to step down others. I also make their life in misery by telling them the shortcomings of the company.

You said it right. I don't feel bad of losing the job. But I pity them for being this way.

@LadyDuck Thanks for the concern. I really hate the admin part of the company. In some situation, they are not considerate.

it happens when the upper management wants to control things for profit.

That's really what they wanted to have. Social responsibility is forgotten.

what a terrible way to treat people! As I read, you will not be paid for your training and you need to give up some time to make it to the training at your expense and they will have to do just that?!? I am also now working same as yours, I just started a few months back but so far so good with me except that I am struggling to get more students.

You know what I mean. They make things so complicated. In fact, it wasn't.

I agree. They are like a power-tripper people. They are in a higher position and trying to prove something to the people under them. In fact, I really don't like them.

I do agree with you. At some point, I am a warrior in telling them the flaws.

Hard to believe. As a company, their decisions shall be made before well thought. And it sounds terrible to threat to the people who work for them. That's so strange. Perhaps they did it for a big mistake.

It is a good thinking that they reconsider the situation. They knew that it is their fault.

Sounds like they are getting stressed out. I'm glad they have seen sense now. Would you be upset if you lost this job or is it a sideline?

At this point of time, I am working as full time in this company. At first, I am planning to have a part time job. With your question, I wouldn't be upset to lose this job. I just ignore them because of such management.
