I’m 20 years old and had this job job for a little over two months. My job before it was a warehouse job and I got a lot of experience in that for two years. I had an interview for another job today but I’m just don’t think I can stick it out at my current job any longer. I do have money to fallback on so that really isn’t the problem. The only problem is worrying about the future of employment.

So long story short I cleared the interview for this company and initially I told them that my notice period is negotiable(negotiable based on I had no backlogs and there were other employees too in the company who had negotiated there way through notice period and made it short) and I can join them in 45 days(my notice period is 3 months fml). But even after talking to manager and HR of my current company I couldn’t reduce my notice period and they wanted me to serve 3 months. So I talked to the HR of the company I am supposed to join in March and they agreed to the 3 month notice period but the thing is that I talked to her today and she said that you wont get any joining bonus since you extended the joining date. Is this valid/legal or are the trying to rip me…

This can't be legal right? State texas employer walmart. I told her to find out who the other persons superior is and report it to them.

Had the surgery, work somewhere else now. Did not find cover 🙂

In college I had to work a part time job for a large party rental company. When days were quiet, instead of letting us enjoy the weather the supervisors would rather us sit there and do work to simply pass the time. For instance, we had to count and match bolts from a large bucket for whatever reason.

I don't even know what to say anymore. Forking out hundreds of resumes, kissing butt and agreeing to hours and shifts I shouldn't be out of pure desperation for needing a job. I apply for every job I'm qualified for, hell I even apply for jobs I'm not technically qualified for (I genuinely don't expect a response) because why the hell not. I have a kid to support and I even refuse to mention my kid until after I've been hired. No I don't have high education but I have 19 years in customer service (don't even get my started on “we pay based on experience”). I apply for cashier and customer service jobs. ….why the hell can't I just walk in and say I desperately need a job someone please hire me!

My friend works 60 hours at a plant and last week they announced that if anybody works over 60 hours then those hours will be moved to the next check. Then they were told to keep it a secret from the people in payroll. This seems illegal. I'm also curious why it is over 60 hours and not 40.
