Respect, my guy, respect.
Month: October 2022
Back in July after being unemployed for a year, I received and interview and then an offer with a large customer service company to do remote customer support for a large clothing brand. The offer letter said exactly, “The pay rate is $13 first 3 pay periods, $14 next 3 pay periods, and $15 ongoing.” I entered my 4th pay period on 10/2, but by 10/6 I didn't see a change in ADP, so I reached out to HR to confirm the pay bump but heard nothing back all week. Reached out to my boss today who forward it along to a Senior Lead higher up who called my offer letter “misleading” so I won't be getting any sort of bump in pay. I just reached out to HR again today through their portal but after not receiving a reply in the first place I'm not expecting anything. I guess…

Ridiculous scam job offer
This is my first post here, the job scam offer I got today is so ridiculous that I needed to share it here. I am 25M engineer, with a couple of years of experience, but not much. A lady from this company was calling me, really nice, the typical HR interview where they save your profile in their DB… She insisted a lot on the fact that I should be very fast answering her e-mails, because the competency is really high in my field and I should be the first accepting the offer so I can be presented fast to the companies… The pay rates were really high so I thought that the amount of candidates could be inmense. Today I have just received an e-mail asking for my signature so they could represent me and start the interviews with the customer, and at first I had the urge…

I resigned from my job of 20 years.
TLDR: I quit after 20 years. On October 3rd I went in on my day off and gave a 30 day notice. Context. I am a lead imaging technologist for a large company. I am the only nuclear medicine technologist. I gave them 30 days is hoe that they could find another tech to come in and get some sort of training before I left. I hit send on the email and got an immediate call from my bosses boss. He asked me what was wrong. I told him it was simple. You did not invest in to my career development. I found a job that was willing to invest in me. As a human. He asked what he could do. I told him that he needed to get the wheels in motion to get a replacement. Do not waste your time getting a counter offer together because November 4th…

Being Treated as a Product
I’m struggling to find a job. A lot. I recently graduated college with a web dev degree but need to stay in a specific town for a couple years where there’s pretty much no opportunity in my field, and with my portfolio getting remote work in my field is practically impossible. Being that I just needed some cash to live, I’ve started applying to places that don’t require degrees like retail jobs. I have bad social anxiety so my options are somewhat limited, and everything I’ve applied to so far has either rejected me or failed to respond. I figured I could branch out of my comfort zone a little bit and apply for a grocery store job. A month or so after applying, I finally get a text saying I’ve got an interview! Hooray! Something about this text is weird though. It’s an automated text from a robot and…
They want highly technical worker to work weekends, and non-normal work hours, non-remote in WASHINGTON DC ( a very expensive area) for ***drum roll***** 70k. Ummm no. They said they have. good benefits. I emailed them back stating I expected pay and benefits to exceed 175k before I even looked at the offer. Oh and they want someone to start ASAP. Pssshhhh.
