- Filing internal complaints
- Attempting to clarify misunderstandings directly
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A secure, third-party platform for employees to log and timestamp workplace interactions and manager feedback in real-time to create an objective audit trail.
- A mentorship program connecting older workers with legal or HR advocates to navigate performance improvement plans and potential age or gender discrimination.
- A policy proposal for mandatory third-party mediation when a long-tenured employee is placed on a PIP by a manager with less than two years of tenure.
Real voices
“The quote was bits and pieces from different parts of the conversation strung together and had a totally different meaning than what was actually said.”
