So basically a new restaurant that I work for has been having all the new staff on a leash, pushing back open time for months, still doesn’t have a liquor license. We finally opened and we’re promised to be paid today, with NO body receiving a paycheck. It’s a mess and I’m tired of hearing, „just hang in there“ It’s been two months and I haven’t been paid, should I just say screw it and not show up? Unpaid labor?
I wanted to take Some time off work because of A personal Reason. I told my boss the reason so he knows why I won’t be at work for 3 weeks. I asked him to keep it a secret because it is very personal (I am having bad mental health beacause of a series of Everts this year: my dog died, i had a tumor, boyfriend is very depressed, …) I found out he told everybody at the Office… Now everybody looks at me weird and wants to know everything Aboutaleb my personal life, should I just quit?
Just the term PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) triggers a SEVERE (diagnosed) PTSD response in me, and many others, apparently. I lost a career I built from literally “scratch” and “turning screws” to a PIP, my best friend was just handed one, with an “interview” on Thursday, in person, though all work, since even before COVID, has been mobile / WFH. Everyone I've spoken to about them, that has experience with them, so far has said that a PIP is literally just an employer trying to get rid of you, and exploit you as much as possible in your remaining time, without having to pay unemployment. If you're not in the US, be grateful you're unfamiliar with this scenario. As an example, BFF LITERALLY works 80+ hours a week, and is consistently an award winning performer in their field. For both our sakes, I have to be limited in details that…
This “strike” shows up that his previous employer let him go due to “employee misconduct.” I’ve tried googling this but I can’t find anything relevant. What in the world is this and how can this be removed? Other prospective jobs can see this and keep turning him down. Is this the Equifax work number that new employers are looking at causing his issue? His previous employer used Equifax to do some if not all of his background check.
Here’s the thing: it’s never usually anything she outright says, it’s more of a tone of condescension/being extremely defensive when I make innocent comments/making me feel like an idiot. This is not only me, many staff members feel the same way. I leave our interactions feeling like shit but I’m afraid that bringing it up with her will make me seem like a crybaby. The other day, I voiced my opinion about something that they wanted feedback about and she just outright said to me “it’s not your choice what happens and we need to take your feelings out of it”. I never said that I thought I should have the final say about anything though…. she just took it that way. How do I convey to her that I am having a hard time responding to her communication style? I just started this job recently and I’ve already learnt…
I work in service plumbing and on call is not in my job description at the moment. I have a decently busy life with a good amount of friends and he always calls me Friday evenings or when I’m wrapping up my day and asks me to work on Saturday. I have a really stubborn coworker who tells me I need to leave all my friends and life behind and there’s no time to go out and enjoy my weekends, I work on his schedule and I don’t even get 40 hours a week sometimes and every job is a rat race with him and he uses every opportunity to put me down for being young and wants me to be just like him living a miserable life. I always feel bad saying no but there’s more than 10 times I’ve agreed to come in after being called on a…
Here’s what happened: A few months ago I was on zip recruiter applying for random part time jobs because I wanted a second job for extra money. Now, anyone who’s bulk applied to jobs knows that most employers don’t ever email you back. Normal. I got a couple responses, some rejections, some invites to interviews. This one job invited me for an interview. I didn’t get a chance to reply to them because I had a bunch of stuff going on, got busy, it just slipped through the cracks. SO TODAY!!!! Literally MONTHS later, I get a message from this hiring manager on ZR that says: “Want a pro tip? Responding to all hiring manager messages may boost your chance of landing a job”. Am I crazy or is this wildly rude? I understand that I didn’t respond to them but why message me almost a year later with that?…
Resignation agreement I signed says I won’t compete with them for 6 months. I'm being offered a job they would have gotten if I was still there, but now that I’m not they can’t do it, and won’t be able to until next year. I know they want to take that job and sub-contract it to someone they work with. Would that violate my agreement since they can’t do it without bidding it out?
I've received a job offer largely on the condition I start very soon. My current position is as a delivery driver at a company I'll likely never work for again. Is there any good reason not to quit the day before I start my new job?
