Month: July 2023

I’ve seen it time and time again where people think they’re doing the company or their coworkers a favor by putting in a longer notice to give time for them to find your replacement. Each and every time they were shown the door on that same day. Happened today to a coworker of mine. He’s not even going to a competitor, he’s going to a complete different industry and will be hauling waste products on 18 wheelers. He gave a month notice because he was willing to help train his replacement, we have a kind of steep learning curve in order to be successful at this job. They showed him the door right away. Now instead of his paychecks he will be getting unemployment which is far less. Do YOURSELF the favor and give the very minimum you are comfortable giving for notice.

Hi guys, So I quit my job this Sunday via email to my manager detailing a medical emergency and a hostile work environment as my reasons. I have another job lined up and have accepted it, but I cannot get over this feeling of guilt and paranoia. For context, one of my coworkers has been bullying me for months (yelling at me in front of patients, belittling me, getting in my face, etc) and I just cannot take it anymore. I also blocked everyone from work so nobody can attempt to call or message me, and I feel a sense of freedom. Did I do something wrong? I know I should be proud of upholding my workplace boundaries but I feel so weird and guilty.

I was with a company for 3.5 years. I left on good terms. They owe me roughly 2200.00 of back pay and did not reimburse me for my laptop shipping costs either. Nobody will respond to any emails. Is there anyone that knows of a good contact to actually reach Dept. of Labor or any other resources? I can't sue due to 'paperwork' so that option is out. Thanks!

Would anyone be willing to be put down as a reference? I am needing a reference as this is my first job and the college I attend is closed down for the holidays and I cant ask for one from there! (UK based)

I’m managing a healthcare clinic for $18/he and I went through 3 interviews just to get this job. I really don’t like it so I’m actively looking for something else and I’ve had 9 interviews between the 3 jobs I’ve applied for- none of which I got. What the hell is going on here? It’s not like Im applying to develop AI for Google or a CFO position. These are basically minimum wage roles.

It was incredibly awkward since I was in the middle of answering a question. He apologized and said it was important. I’m still not sure what to make of it and if it’s a sign it’s not worth my time working there.

Is it normal practice to schedule employees 8-10 day work weeks just for an employee to take a vacation on select day off? Every time with my current employer partakes of this practice and it is old. I often end up calling out by day six or seven due to physical exhaustion. I am taking five days off and being punished with a ten day work week.

So I recently had a interview in June with a limited term full time state job (9 month job). It’s a “dream job” minus the limited part in regards to my work responsibilities. I hardly mention vacation during interviews unless it’s going to be very upcoming and I feel a offer will be made on the spot in fear of getting them mad. I had to wait for a background check since the offer was contingent, again I don’t want to wait to long to tell them but I don’t want them to get pissed off to early, today I just heard by email I passed everything and they want me to start July 24th. That’s fine with me, I do have a week vacation I had already plan though right before Labor Day leading into it, so I would assume it’s good idea for me now to accept the…
