Is it my time or theirs ?!

Many people during the time of being employed may realize a discrepancy on their contributed time due to unethical treatments at their work. These discrepancies may happen due to unethical conducts of their managers or supervisors deducting time from the employees contributed working hours, whether it is for the reason of disciplinary actions or miscalculated times that should be managed very carefully by the management.

These times may come out of, or may get deducted from the accumulated "sick-time"; "vacation- time"; accummelated "holiday-time"; etc., to name a few. However, many times the employees may also complain of not getting their "over-time" if they have worked some extra hours as well. But the problem remains that employees may miss many of their employees hours that may have gone through the "cracks", either not get paid for them or their hours may get deducted without employees ever noticing it. There has been many cases that employees have complained that due to the reasoning of the manager or supervisor their work-time have been deducted or not added, and the employee would have a very hard time to prove such mistreatment to the authorities.

The point remains that when a person works for a company; business, or an organization, their professional time spent at the employer apparently remains with the employer, and what they get paid for is at the mercy of the employer's calculation and judgment.

If a person tries to have their own business, they may have some control over their pay of course, but what remains is then, how they manage their time and budget their finances, including their accounting and paying their taxes properly. And with a bigger business or as they expand, one has to be a good team-leader to place responsible team members with their business, so the money that they make and their finances to remain efficient.

Should I sign it ?!

Different kinds of documents are given to people to sign at different times, and people may get many times concerned that whether they should sign such "contracts" that are given to them.

There are many times questions being risen that whether or not such documents are binding or not as a contract, even if they are not signed. For example, an employer can give a notice to an employee warning that some money may get deducted from his or her paycheck due to some incident at work. But whether or not the employee signs such notice the employer can deduct the money from the employee's paycheck. However, if the employee disagree's with such action, he or she could take the employer to court demanding the unfairness of the deduction. In such scenario the question remains that, if the judge gives the judgement to the employer, Does it mean that since the employee's story has not been accepted, the employer ultimately is the one who is the winner, due to the fact that employer is the owner or the payer who is compensating the employee monetarily?

In such world that we live in, apparently, the owner or the employer is the one who may have the upper hand with the story of the incident(s) that may happen at work, and employees may have a hard time to go after to prove the truth at work!

Is it fair for me to take the medication ?!

Time and time again people who are stressed, go to their doctor or psychiatrist and complain about their stresses at work or employer mistreating them.  Usually there are Stress Groups in place for these people to attend to; however, no matter what, these employees are highly suggested to take stress medications along the way.

The ironic thing however is that the employers are not trained properly or due to budget cuts or discrimination factors and what ever the reason, there are a lot of unethical issues that are not being attended to on regular basis at work environments.  The shortcut however is that the employees need the money and they do not want to get fired and just try to continue to go to work, so they readily take the medication(s) prescribed  to them by their doctors.

But the main question that arises is, if there are many unethical issues going on at work by the employers, how come the employees are the one sedating themselves or being in denial (by the effect of stress medication that they are taking) at work?
