Month: March 2022

So I've been in some good interviews lately and I have one job that I feel really positive about interviewing me next week. I have exactly what they're looking for and I was passed on to the next round almost immediately after a great interview so I think I'll get the job. The only thing is I've been applying with a local union for like 2 years and finally got correspondence regarding a rep position. Then after multiple rounds of assessments and like a week of waiting I've gotten offered an interview. I'm fairly certain I can get the union spot because of my experiences as well but I'm not sure if I should take it because the Glassdoor reviews are fuckin horrible. I mean like absolutely the worst I've ever seen. Reviews that talk about how they force you to vote for the current president, how you can't get…

I don't know why but it just really annoyed me seeing them talk about how “OmG BaBYsiTtiNg wAgeS aRe PaSsEd $20/h”, OK and? If someone is going to take care of your own child and do your job for you then you better pay me at LEAST $20/h.

I work in retail as a cashier and on my last worked shift i had a customer ask me to load some funds on their cash-app for a few hundred dollars. Their app isn't one we normally support but he was insistent it should work from our website listing so i figured i would try it to appease him. Go through the process, scan the loading code from his phone app, take his payment all cash and as i put it in my drawer the post authorization comes through declined as the transaction not working and that i need to refund the cash. So i call my supervisor, cashiers aren't able to refund. It's all done through the supervisor on shift, notably the manager on that shift with me while kind is really bad at remembering their procedures and has a very laissez-faire take on their job. While i wait…

I just got invited to a virtual interview for a corporate IT job and with it they included a link to check out their facilities. Everything looked normal until one of the last pictures.. there are phone lockers. Also most of my interviews so far have been a half hour, 45 mins, an hour.. this mofo is 3.5 hours!?

I put in my 2 weeks. I know this sub doesn't always like that but I just couldn't bring myself to quit without notice because I feel it would harm my coworkers too much, and I hope I can put this experience on my resume. This was my first “job-y” job so it's a shame. I really wanted the insurance they offered but it wasn't worth the cost of working there. I was considering going on antidepressants for this job, which is insane looking back. They initially agreed to hire me for remote but required me to come into the office to train me for 2 weeks. They lied to me and I was in office for closer to a month and a half. Just when I was working from home full time they asked me to come in again. I just flat out said no. The last straw was…

You don’t Don’t have to work in the restaurant industry to feel like this ofcourse but did anyone else feel like they were worth nothing. It’s like at anytime you can be let go for basically nothing. For the first two weeks all they other staff hated me most still did. ( you would think I hurt them outside of work) also When they are shorted staffed they want you to come in if you say you can’t you know they will act funny scheduling you. Then other days you go in to work and get sent home a hour later. One week your on the schedule next your not whoever is the flavor of the week..it’s so much anxiety so much stress and pressure so much depressed it consumed me.. feeling not good enough and so much more. Extremely rude chefs entitled customers who look at me like I’m…

I'm a contract worker for a Medicare conglomerate. Throughout this project with them, they've provided awful training, never had a straight answer for anything including the chain of command and basic questions such as “Who do I talk to about getting paid on time?” Well, I was getting paid on time so I just thought whatever, but the tech problems had gotten worse and they told me to call IT THEN penalized me for the time I took calling them, saying it was call avoidance. I'm on my Final Warning. My dad says if they fire me, it'll be a blessing and I've already let my recruiter know so she can find something else. Things had gone better today, but one of the male supervisors who alternates between being overly friendly and accusatory kept calling me “bud” and “pal.” With nothing to lose at this point, I told him to…
