I was in the middle of a phone interview with a hiring manager and she said she had another phone call with a client and that she would call me back. She never called me back. Has it become standard practice to be rude like that? I'm strongly considering leaving a bad review on google and yelp about them.
I work for a company that works with tech and telecommunications products, before you think that's impressive I'm on the low paying retail store end of that industry, commission and all. My job requires us to use various apps on our phones for communication, to set up or complete assignments, cross-store shipping among branches, scheduling, and clocking in and out. Management uses them to track time, sales, activity, and for pay as well. My company without any warning ahead of time has changed their systems which require new apps and upgrades to a couple older apps still in use. I found this out when I could no longer use Kronos (which is now UKG iirc) app to clockin, and contacted corporate. While there were others complaining about the change mostly due to abruptly needing more space for the apps file sizes, I was among the most impacted because my phone…
I called out sick tonight, you know because I’m actually sick. My co worker contacts me and says, “I need you to come in. Two people are already off and the other has a family situation and can’t make it in”. I was in disbelief while reading the text. Some people really have the audacity. Like they really expected me to come in despite calling out. These are the same people who wouldn’t even think twice about you had it been them calling out. And didn’t even have the decency to ask me, only demand. Whatever. I’ll be home recovering. I’ll always put my health first.
I resigned from a job I've been at for 8 years, saying my last day will be in 13 days, as opposed to the traditional 14. I figured this was fine, as I'm in a office job where I'm paid hourly (more $20 an hour, but still hourly) and my last day falls on the last day of the pay period. My boss was very taken aback, said things like this is not ok (I don't think regarding the time frame as much as the fact I'm leaving) and just seemed very angry. To her, I'm sure it came out of nowhere, but shouldn't employees be allowed to quit whether their manager expected it or not? I don't regret my decision at all, I'm definitely in a workplace where you get punished for good work by getting more work, doesn't pay employees enough, and allows shitty employees to skate by…
I will have worked at my place of employment for 1 year in about 2 weeks. I was told when I started that I would receive PTO at the completion of my one year equal to the average number of hours worked that year. I’m a full time employee so I should be receiving somewhere around 40 hours of PTO. I started planning a vacation at the beginning of May to use my PTO but my employer informed me today that I won’t be getting any PTO. My company was sold to a new owner in October and the new owner isn’t giving anyone PTO until next October because we technically haven’t been working for the same company for a year until next year. Is this even legal? If they promised me PTO at 1 year and this is my 1 year can they really just deny me like that?…
The (only) bathroom in my workplace (retail) has a drain in the floor that every now and then within the past 24 hours decides to just push up flood water and/or sewer backup and we’re still open and expected to work? All we’ve been told: “Use the bathroom next door, I’ll get it fixed.” Plumber came earlier today, gave temporary “fix” but it happened again when the toilet was flushed. Doesn’t appear to care we’re concerned about bacterial exposure. We have store cats—will they be safe overnight if it only appears to happen when the toilet is flushed? Follow up: is this legal?
