My employer just told us "you should be grateful to have a job" after cutting our benefits. Anyone else dealt with this?
So our company just announced they're eliminating paid sick days and reducing health insurance coverage starting next month. When a few of us pushed back in the allhands meeting, the HR director literally said we should be grateful to have stable employment in this economy and that the company is making tough sacrifices to keep us all on board.
I've been here four years. Never called out sick unnecessarily, I stay late when needed, I genuinely try to do good work. And somehow the response to legitimate concerns about losing benefits we were promised is just gratitudeshaming us into silence
The worst part is some of my coworkers nodded along like that was a reasonable answer. I think a lot of people have been so conditioned to feel lucky for having any job at all that they stop questioning whether the job is actually treating them fairly
Has anyone else gotten this kind of response when raising workplace concerns? How did you handle it? Did pushing back ever actually change anything, or did you just end up updating your resume and moving on? Genuinely curious how others have navigated this because right now I'm feeling pretty demoralized and unsure what the right move is
