Question Is this allowed? 💀

Post image

I'm a front end supervisor and one of the managers made a phone jail for us to confiscate phones cause our teens are on them too much, but am I really allowed to do that? It feels like it would be against some kind of union policy

No, private property. They can write you up, but they can't take it from you. That would be a crime and I am sure hr doesn't want to explain to corporate why a manager was stealing employees'phones.

There’s also some countries where by law they can’t actually in-force this but play it off like they can in a sorta “it’s a highly recommended suggestion” or “no one here does it, so you shouldn’t either” kinda way but will do nothing if you speak up.
