    What does “written up” mean?

    Because our write ups are just incident reports. Like, if a shitty Karen went nuclear on a staff member, we do create a incident report. But anybody reading this will absolutely go, “fucking Karen strikes again” and it absolutely won’t reflect badly on the employee.

      Usually it means a mark on your work record, pretty much like getting an F on a paper or something.

      Just paperwork so the whales in the office feel like they do something.

      It means nothing when you live in a “at will” employment jurisdiction.

      In the past, (or in a union contract) employers had to prove they had “just cause” to fire you. This would be documentation of cause.
