Month: May 2022

Technically I’m still employed, but my account is suspended and I no longer have any shifts on there. I remember all of the days that I was supposed to come in, but that’s it. I’m not about to cheat myself out of unemployment by not showing up, but I know it’s pretty hinky that my manager is pulling this crap before my two weeks are up. What should I do? I’m already planning on keeping all my timeclock slips and I have a picture of my two weeks.

Right now making minimum wage, living paycheck to paycheck. No car, no house, no pets, no lover. Barely scraping by. Work 40 hour weeks with weekends sometimes. Overworked because lots of call outs. Hard worker always but rewarded with more work for being efficient and hard working. Burnout everyday. Anyone got anything to help me out?

when i was like 19 i think, i tried to get a job at trugreen chemlawn. did the first interview and got the job then there was “orientation” so about 10 of us show up for orientation, about 10 min in they inform us we need to take drug tests. All of us either giggle or get concerned looks. I myself had gone to a guerilla ICP show the night before So they tell us all to head down the road to this shop to do our piss tests and they will see us all in about 30 min as we all walk out to the parking lot a few of us start laughing it off like “ok so i only wasted a few hours of my time on this bullshit” and we all agreed that none of us would be goin to the piss shack. im certain the worst…

I applied for a job for which the job description seemed perfect for what I am looking for. I put my time and effort into writing a cover letter and sending in an application. Today I got a call from the hiring person about setting up an interview. I didn’t answer the call (I was at my current job and also don’t answer unknown numbers) but I called back quite quickly after listening to the voicemail. The hiring person’s first question was if I was interested in the position if the job duties were slightly different than what was posted in the job posting. I asked how it would be different. The “slightly different” duties included being the weekend manager on duty. The original posting was a behind the scenes office job with minimal interaction with the public. So it went from a 40 hour a week Monday through Friday…
