Month: July 2023

So the job market where I am is terrible, and my current job pays me next to nothing, moving here was absolutely a mistake. I decided I'd start looking for a job in another city that offers relocation assistance per the advice of a redditor I spoke to, and got a job offer pretty much immediately. The issue is their assistance is more of a reimbursement. Getting this job would entirely turn my life around but actually moving halfway across the country with no money isn't super easy. I tried making a gofundme but I don't think that will get much attention

I got let go today after a month long PIP at a job i was super unhappy at. I know people are usually sad or upset when let go but I almost feel free and energized. I feel like I can do anything. I thankfully can get unemployment and I plan I looking for a new job but I haven’t felt this good in a long time. Has anyone else experienced this after being let go/ fired/ laid off at a job they hated?

I have been working as a freelance designer almost exclusively with a company that makes these huge events twice a year. Initially, I was a freelancer, though I took a more permanent work position with them two weeks ago. I am the only designer and I am in charge of most of the stuff that gets printed out before the event, and then during the event, I do any tasks they need of me. I suck as a designer, I suck and I know it. University burned the creativity and passion right out of me, and I am not an outgoing person by any means. Every time there is an event, I ask them to give me the info on what is needed well in advance, and every time I am given that information late after begging for weeks (sometimes months) on end. Like a couple of weeks before the…

I got approved by HR for intermittent fmla about 6 weeks ago. It’s to allow time for my child’s many medical appointments. I’ve always submitted the intermittent time off in advance via outlook calendar as a courtesy, but today my one over manager went in and declined next week’s time that I submitted at least a month ago. Is this even legal?

I have been having issues getting my vacations approved for years now. My boss plays games with my vacation pay. Sneaking them into my normal paycheck in various ways to deny me the ability to actually take time off. Well I decided to pre-empt him and book my two and a half weeks vacation. 9 paid days off total. With a long weekend and a gap in the usual hours to round things off to a nice period off. Well he argued the first Sunday of my vacation he couldn't get anyone to cover so I agreed to start my vacation today (Monday the 10th) Well today he posted the schedules and he has me booked as returning to work on Friday!! I checked my vacation request in deputy and he had basically never actually approved the time. I should have checked days ago and insisted he update the schedule…

I'm a low level manager of a sales support team (admin) for a healthcare company, working remotely. HR suddenly demanded that all 200+ employees who were onboarded remotely since 2020 and live in our county need to drive down to the office and verify their I-9 documents in-person next week. Our county is pretty big and I have an employee who lives far from the office, but within county lines. They don't have a car. HR has refused to cover this employee's travel expenses for the mandatory in-office document inspection, which I think could be up to $100+ for a rideshare – did I mention this employee doesn't have a car?? And no public transit will work for this. Our HR replied back to me “sorry it's a US govt requirement” with a smiley face in the email. Of course I'm going to reimburse this employee myself. They're still upset…
