The title should more accurately be “6 Workplace Myths You Probably Believe, unless you’ve been reading the EHRL blog for a while.” I’ve learned a lot from reading this blog. Thanks!
Thanks, Jasmine! I’m glad to hear I’ve been helpful.
I often wonder where people hear some of these things. I’m thinking specifically of #6. I have had some very educated and experienced people tell me they thought that giving a “bad” reference was illegal. Of course, “bad” is relative to the person’s perception; however they don’t understand that giving factual information beyond name, rank and serial number is legal. I really believe that colleges and even high schools should give short courses to students about the realities of the business world and the employment relationship.
I remember emphatically telling people that it was illegal to fire someone for resigning–that you had to let them work out their two week notice. Of course, I was telling this to my fellow Burger King coworkers and I was probably 17.
But, my older sisters had told me that, and I believed them, and I have no idea who told them, and so on and so on .
