Why cant companies literally run to reddit and see our firsthand thoughts/experiences and HELP US fix the issues to make them more money and bring us more happiness to then KEEP them from losing money? I just don't get it. I look at it as this: If I help my employees through tough times like pregnancy, bodily injury/sickness, then they would come back appreciating that and give loyalty in return. These guys just cut and replace us instead which costs them more in the long run bc of multiple hire/fires, more uniforms ordered, time wasted training people, etc.

It’s been a long 6 month job hunt. Finally landed one that i was super excited for – Outpatient registration at a hospital! Everything was fine during the (8 HOUR ASSEMBLY STYLE) orientation. I even had fun doing the social activities with my new coworkers. But then i had a meeting with my new boss after the fact where she told me, although we’re in a hospital – scrubs are against HER dress code and I’ll be sent home on PTO and given disciplinary points for doing such. Even though they said scrubs were fine during the interview. So now i have to see if the scrub store accepts returns. As the title states, i searched for a job for 6 months. I. Don’t. Have. Extra. Money. I’m not allowed OT. Not even .01 over the 40 hours. If it happens, i have to submit a request to get it…

I work 8 hour shifts and get 2 10 minute breaks plus a 30 minute lunch which is fine except that I don’t get 2 10 minute breaks. A buzzer sounds signaling it’s time to stop working and take a 10 minute break but the catch is that the buzzer sounds 5 seconds before the minute rolls over so effectively we receive a 9 minute break and that turns into 7 minutes by the time you walk off the factory floor.

That's all.
