Have you ever been suspended or given a forced leave of absence by your employer?

I'm referring to a career-type job not when you were mowing lawns or driving a truck (unless you drive a truck now then please carry on with your answer).

Had a week furlough last year for the China Virus. Ended up getting the money back at the end of the year though.
Everyone got furloughed for a week, so not sure if that counts.

Someone at my company did. I don't recall the exact reasoning, but it was complete BS. The company and execs later apologized.

I was told to use my vacation time to take a break
I told them if I took a break it would be a permanent one
Turned out I didn’t need a break after all

leave of absence
All this time I've been saying league of absence.
Going to write the correct expression down on the notepad I keep in my chester drawers.

Management over internal controls often have to take 2 consecutive weeks off to make sure they aren't skating the controls.
That would be forced leave by definition.

please elaborate on this mentality....I can't fathom not using my vacation time especially if told to

How long did they suspend you? And what did you do?
Posted on 5/27/21 at 4:00 pm to The Mick
I was asked to go home one day….only because I was going on my 15th hour at work 
This was after the 2016 flood where our volume literally tripled overnight and no one was prepared.

Once.
Suspended for pissing off a supervisor in another department when I couldn't assist her with problems unrelated to my own job.
HR sided with her.

I didn’t want to take a Wed - Fri & burn vacation time in the middle of a project
Small company, owner health issues, wife came in taking over
When I said I wouldn’t come back she backed down & I finished my project & used my vacation time later in the year to take a fishing trip
Ended up leaving after working there almost 20 years

No, but I was told, by my boss, to take the full 3 mos of short disability when I had rotator cuff surgery cause it was slow. I wound up getting laid off anyway but at least I got paid for 3 mos and was able to find a new job.

I wouldn't mind that as I could plan around it for a good vacation. What I hate at my job is they plan the busiest times for us in early to mid July every year, and I literally can't take off more than a day or two consecutively. You'd have thought I asked for a kidney a couple of years ago when I told them I was going to the beach the week after the 4th. Sorry, but if I have 4 weeks of vacation, and you block off half the month that is prime vacation time, don't be surprised at the turnover you've seen in the department. I might work like crazy before and after to make up for it, but if I've got a place at the beach for free through family that week, I'm going.

Nope, I’ve never even received a verbal warning or anything.

Not a mentality just who needs who more. I believe they call it job security or leverage.
