Month: July 2023

Long story short. I found issues with my wages, started talking about those issues and my ongoing battle with HR about it to my coworkers. Apparently people started talking and asking questions too. I was told to stop talking about my wages by my manager because of “The Rumor Mill” Then had that clarified on the record infront of a coworker, because asking your workers to not talk about wages is fucking illegal. Then got into an argument with my manager about the direction of our store and the company, workers rights, and leadership. And now, all of a sudden three days after. I'm issued my first ever disciplinary action because I was missing details on a particular process completion. A process that i recieved inadequate training on, and specifically told my boss weeks ago that i needed more training, and that I didn't feel confident in those details being…

This is just my general opinion, I am no expert, but I see a lot of people on here quitting bad jobs right before they were about to get fired. I think this comes from TV when they use the lines like “your fired” “you cant fire me I quit” to show how motivated they are. IRL this is a bad idea. General if you get fired with out a good cause you get unemployment that they have to pay for. You might get cobra that they also pay for. Keep in mind, your next employer can contact them, but unless you sign a waver for a back round check(bad idea) they cant even comment on your performance. Even if you do, 9/10 times they dont bother. Sending over legal forms to fill and empty position to all your previous employers is to much bother for most people in HR.

i have been failing to get a job for quite some time. even a couple years ago i would get interviews. now i get nothing, even with internal recommendations. what do?

Hey guys I just get a new job and I’m filling out the usual paperwork to fully get signed up and ready before my hiring date. I do have a question about benefits since I do want to sign up for them since I’ll be moving from my hometown for this position. I’m a bit overwhelmed with these benefit options. I say that because I don’t know what I’ll need or what can come in handy. They got the usual medical, dental, vision, critical illness, accident, HSA, and legal care benefits. They have other benefit options but they don’t apply to me since I’m not married nor do I have any children. Any thoughts how I should approach this? Since I’ll be moving, I definitely want to be fully insured. And of course I want to cover all my bases since I’ll be moving to a place that I won’t…

Title. Me and dude have similar experience but mine is more relevant for our job, we started at the same time, he was new to the company I have been there a year, and he regularly calls out “sick” or shows up drunk/hungover. We are a team of 18 split (unevenly) depending on our specialties. I can’t say much about the job/company because I don’t want to lose it until I find another. I’m trying to switch depts or ok with leaving for the right pay of course. But for the time being I really want to see if I can make this job livable for a bit longer. Any advice is appreciated.

Long post. TL/DR quitting my job because of corporate fuckery and piss poor management. I currently work for a well known multinational auto glass replacement company as a glass technician. The job has really gone downhill, especially during the past 2 years or so. I was initially hired to be a full time Tues-Sat schedule, with Sundays and Mondays off, with the promise that I could switch to Mon-Fri with the occasional Sat once my child started going to school. It worked great at the time because we were saving quite a bit of money by only needing daycare for 4 days a week instead of 5. The store manager (henceforth known as SM) was strictly management. They did not do any of the actual installing. Normally, that would be fine, because they would handle answering the phones and deal with the customers so that we could keep out in…
