@IconFit @ifit why don't you value your customers' time? if your product doesn't work then replace it, it doesn't take hours of troubleshooting to determine that the product doesn't work

[Chaim Book @chaimbook]

@IconFit @iFit engage in #fraud They sell you an extended warranty & won't honor it unless you spend hours on the phone "troubleshooting"

@IconFit @iFit Worst customer service ever! I am on hold for more than an hour. Their reps have lied to me, hung up on me, tried to charge me fees for nothing.

@Citi is absolutely the worst bank! It has blocked my business bank account 4 times this year & has yet to give me an explanation. If you own a smaller business, you should bank somewhere else as I plan to do for 2023.

@ChipotleTweets requiring employees to see a nurse to determine if employee is sick or hung over before co. will grant #paidsickleave Sounds logical but violates NYC law which will not allow verification of a sick day unless ee takes 3 consec days. Oops, should check w/ lawyers

Chipotle Mexican Grill has a new policy which will require employees to see a nurse to determine if employee is legitimately sick or just hung over before co. will grant #paidsickleave Sounds really logical & understandable but it…https://t.co/r8xybMvN9V https://t.co/55HpwFXz3q

Want to know about #employeeengagment ? It is about listening & responding to your employees. https://t.co/EItI1kWhgd

Memo to sr. execs: date someone outside of your co. From what I gather, this CEO didn't do anything egregious but lost his $15MM comp package for violating co. policy. https://t.co/FFCcYRiSjz

Not-for-profits, do you need to have anti-#sexualharassment training for volunteers? Probably a good practice. https://t.co/5U8FK0YD9p

Here is what I am talking about, Co. settles case w/ EEOC for failing to hire based on age and/or disability. Learn what the term #reasonableaccomodation means. https://t.co/ljRXUyB2Gf

If you are interviewing & hiring employees in 2019 the same you did so in 2009 and 1999, then you need to get w/ the times & learn about avoiding #hiringbias https://t.co/NJF2sKWm3V

Good advice on quitting a job. I would add if you are thinking about quitting b/c of harassment or discrimination then please speak to an #employmentlawyer first. https://t.co/QQKrBQzHyJ

[Chaim Book @chaimbook]

Some good idea about talking to good guys about promoting good behavior in the #workplace We tend to focus on the bad guys but let's appreciate the good guys & encourage them. https://t.co/UCMnSPueFn

#Genderdiscrimination laws do protect men as well as women. In this case, employer was sued by EEOC for hiring preferences for women over male applicants. https://t.co/7gPBPhBZcu

Halliburton gets off easy b/c they are located in Dallas, Texas where judges are notoriously anti-plaintiff in #employmentdiscrimination lawsuits. IMHO, case would not settle for less than $1MM in NYC. https://t.co/Wn3kZy6vRk
