My boss asks me why I email instead of just asking verbally and I openly told him i like to document every conversation or situation. He knows now im an employee who knows better.

[turnne]

He is right on these emails. That completely changed my situation. The company settled fairly quickly. I had 40-50 emails

[jacksonschellhorn]

I always make it a point to 1) request any documents from HR about me. Notes, everything BEFORE QUITTING. and 2) save all documents from the job. Print it out and file it. 3) do all this via email to make sure the company knows i requested it.

Excellent video. As an HR professional myself, I can attest that everything in this video is sound.

How to save emails. #3 is by far the most private move.
If you’re proactive including meta data with pictures of emails creates a time place data set & naming the image in a way it’s identifiable. Save sets of images in a folder tree, create a legend. You can get good at taking pictures of screens. Light, angle, camera presets… find your combo. A skill worth having IMO.

You can snip clip emails onto Microsoft word and print. If you don't feel comfortable. That is the best way they will not know what has been printed out. I do that and there is no traceability or detail on that. Just another way around it

I had an employee send email summaries of issues and discussions we had. The only issue is that she was trying to create a trail based on a false narrative. It didn’t work out well for her because I kept meticulous notes and knew when I needed to have a witness during critical conversations. There are a lot of bad managers out there, and employees should definitely document. There are also a lot of bad employees out there, so managers need to do the same—and know when someone is trying to engineer a claim or a lawsuit.

So much great and useful information. It's nice to know someone like yourself is there to fight for us.

don't forget to take a portable scanner to work.! scan everything!!!!

[newtondoxy]

I would like to see you discuss working for a corrupt county where the same union represents the employee and the manager resulting in county leadership, union, EEOC, labor relations all working together against the employee

First thing is use your cell phone and take a picture of every email. Make sure to include housing of computer screen is shown in the photo which should also shows the date and time on the screen. This shows it's your computer. Send it quickly to your personal email. This will show it wasn't photoshopped. Also print out a copy of email if you can. Save copy. If you can send the email you received on your work computer to your own personal email.

What makes a good teacher/trainer/learning experience? There is a set of characteristics that are associated with quality learning. Know, I appreciate that your videos have these aforementioned characteristics.
Color in presentation of overview. Easy to see & glance back over.
Clarification of what is going to be covered.
Digestible pieces. Keep overload to a minimum.
Specificities: descriptive terms & contained narratives are labeled / attached at every step.
Pace: you talk without rushing along, it’s at a pace a learner can process.

Well done sir.

Bigger company’s will probably have SIEM Security Information and Event Management on there network. It runs on the servers and watches all traffic on that network and logs all usage. You can have it flag specific things. I can’t remember if it was in the SIEM or another service but it can scan emails and look for information to prevent theft of information and can also stop and block emails from leaving the network. They could block any and all emails from 3rd party services that aren’t the company’s own.

Fantastic listening, Branigan has put in a lot of effort and time and is worth listening to. I will listen to it again as there is a wealth of information

[georgiasavannah]

I would love to see you do a video on how the NDA landscape is changing and your experience in dealing with the EEOC from the defense side and also from the employee side of making a charge. Also curious to hear your commentary on HR professionals coming forward in cases with substantive documented evidence in high tech cultures. This is some thing we don’t see much of or hear about but I wonder how many do effectively whistle blow.

[josephtshiaba]

Great video and this is very important to get evidence.Thank you

[anap]

Your information is so useful and you are so charismatic! Love your videos 😄

Now I know why the union leadership refuses to write or email in response they don’t want the paper trail.
