I also worked for Varian in the past. They have engauged in the following practices. 1) Mandatory 54 hour work weeks for indefinate periods! Schedule is 10hrs a day M-Th and 8 on Fri. 6 Hours on Saturday! 2) Dealing in bad faith with employees! While out sick for emergency surgery my acting manager was allowed to call and harass me in the Hospital; and at my House and HR had to be called to stop it! 3) When I returned to work undue pressure was put on me until I resigned. Because I was out sick, and because I had a family. She verbally berate me daily and personally humiliated me until I exploded.The manager I started there under didn't behave that way and I rather liked him. She attempted to force me into a 50% pay cut because of emergency surgery I was "no longer reliable". Which is funny because in the time I worked for that company I had a history of working excessive hours, and at the height of one project had worked more than 80 hours a week for 4 straight weeks. 4) My insurance was fine, but was REAL expensive. 5) The Supervisor in question was giving out derogatory references to employers.Which is a violation of the law. I actually resigned in 1999 interesting to see things haven't changed much. Anyhow if this is the Lisa I am thinking of. You can email at [email protected] Chow!Yeah Right!
