An oddly positive experience, with an otherwise bad company.

Got the old bait and switch when I took the job. Showed up to a supervisory position on day one, where the original job was not. Asked to negotiate salary and was denied.

Couple of weeks later, caught the Covids, and was out for almost 2 weeks. No vacation days used, no change in pay. Like it never happened. Couple of weeks later, out of nowhere, my daughter got sick and was in ICU for a few days, and in and out of emergency rooms for a couple of weeks. I only used a couple of vacation days, and there was no change in paycheck. Not sure who has my back at this company, because it sure as hell isn't my boss, but I do…

Not sure who has my back at this company, because it sure as hell isn't my boss, but I do appreciate it, as it is a breathe of fresh air, in an otherwise terrible company.
