Not my video, but from my childhood hometown. A toddler was standing on a chair setting out bread in the kitchen. Obligatory mention, I understand that being a working parent is hard. But holy OSHA, it can’t be safe for a toddler to be working in a fast food kitchen.
So I work in a office setting and for the past two years the company always mentions there tuition reimbursement as one of their great benefits. Last Thursday I applied after getting accepted into college for a Bachelors in Information Technology. After submitting my boss sends a message saying he was excited and would submit to HR ASAP!! Friday I get a email saying my application was denied. I went to the office HR rep to see if maybe I did something wrong she went in her computer and after looking at the screen for like a minute she said I was denied because my degree does not aline with my current job. In the past two years never was it mentioned I had to pick a degree related to my field. I asked why this wasn’t said before hand or why it wasn’t in writing. She said she dint…
Is it wrong that I want to quit without anything lined up
So, here I am, doing my very first private, in person, background check for what will hopefully be a fair change in career. In the past, the company I applied for did this, so this is very new to me. I was told before formally applying, I'd need to go to a Fieldprint location and give my fingerprints. No big deal. I've never been arrested, never been to court, never been convicted of anything. To my knowledge, I've had 3-4 traffic tickets in about 17 years. Again, I have never been arrested, never been called to court. I am a few weeks away from finishing university, and when I applied, I assumed they did a background check for loans and other various things. If I recall, some misdemeanors and felonies can prevent you from receiving assistance. I receivced all assistance I needed. The company Fieldprint claimed this would take a…
Got promised a raise at my performance review two months ago, told it was going to kick in a month ago. Company knows they don't pay me enough to live, I'm in the midst of only eating two meals a day, if that some days. I've been applying to other jobs and asking for any chance for a raise or promotion for 8 months. Sent email after email asking about it after it didn't happen, got almost no response except finally was told a week and a half ago that we would be having a meeting to discuss it at the end of the week. Red flag I should've picked up on: My hours were already in my punch in/out app on Thursday and Friday. Thought it was weird, but my director (who had told me many times he was sticking up for me and that he was my friend)…
I cannot take it anymore. I get excluded from meetings, from getting to learn certain tasks that should be a part of my daily job, get constant hints that I should be switching jobs (but gave poor reference when I applied to another!) Meanwhile she cannot find anything to critisize about my work – rather the opposite. I go above and beyond and have taken responsibility for things way above my pay grade and job title. But, I ask difficult questions about what's going on in the lab when it comes to the handling of cancerogenic chemicals. I work in pathology and our ventilation is crap and things get sweeped under the rug. At the start of my employment after an obligatory introduction about how to safely handle chemicals I sent an email with my concerns (by referring to what was said during the intro) and observations to ask what…
