Month: July 2023

I know it can probably vary. I'm thinking of one Fortune 500, well over 100,000 employees. That's a ton of emails. Keyloggers maybe? Only delve further into someone specific when the need arises?

Please do not make me complete an online application when I've already submitted my résumé. When this happens, I immediately leave the employer's website and move on. Please do not make me create an account on your website. If I am not selected to interview and/or hired, there is no reason for me to have an account on your website. I will not return to your website in the future. While you're looking for your “fantasy candidate”, there are many who are perfect for the position you're overlooking. There is not a single employer in the country today that has any leg to stand on when they say they “can't find anyone to fill the position.” Please stop posting “ghost jobs” for the sole purpose of collecting résumés you have no intention of reading just so you can make your company look “busy”. There are hundreds if not thousands of…

I have a friend who recently was hospitalized and wasn’t able to work. In addition to mishandling my friend’s unemployment paperwork causing him to have to wait almost 3 months to receive any benefits, once he did return to work, they garnished 100% of his paychecks to pay for insurance premiums. As far as I understand it, the Federal CCPA would limit garnishment in this case to a maximum of 25% of his wages. I don’t believe a state law (Missouri) could trump this, but IANAL. I told my friend I thought he should report his employer to the state labor board because even if it doesn’t do anything for him, they will keep doing it to others if they keep getting away with it. So my question is, does anyone know of a reason why the 100% garnishment would be legal, and if not, does anyone know how to…

This will be a lengthy post so bear with me. I started at a collision center 11 months ago. Upon being hired I was promised all sorts of things.. as usual. None of them came to fruition. 3 months ago I was finally promoted to the position I had been promised yet there were negotiations regarding the pay. Instead of getting the normal bonuses, I'd only get one of the two and it is the smaller bonus. Considering I was still learning, I was willing to accept this to be given the opportunity to advance my career. I never received any type of a bonus as promised, I was told it would be 1k if I ended the month a certain way, I did and no bonus. They claimed it was because of this or that for both months. This past month, after being humiliated in front of several other…

I'll be starting a new job this Friday at a horse stable. It's a part-time gig, Fridays and Saturdays from 2:30 to 6:30 PM. When I was interviewed by the barn manager a couple weeks ago I didn't think to ask if there was a bathroom, because the other stable I work at part-time has one…as does the stable I ride at…as does every other stable I've ever been to in my entire 25 years of being around horses. I just assumed that, like everywhere else, there would be a simple single toilet bathroom or porta potty on the property for at least the employees to use. The other day I remembered that I had forgotten to ask the manager where the bathroom was located on the property because I didn't see one when I was at the stable for my interview. She replied they don't have one. At all.…
