I once had an interview with a German insurance company (Yes the one you are thinking about) near Zurich. I was on time but did not know the contact person anymore. So I talked to the two ladies at the reception who gave me the we have 3000 peoples here look. So I turned around went to an apple shop to access my email (it was 6 years ago and I did not had internet on my phone as I came from Germany). So when I had my email, I called the contact person and told him I was there but could not get to him. He basically told me that I am lying and I should not make up stories because I am late. When he said he can come down and fetch me, I basically said it is not necessary, as I decided that I do not want…

Hey y'all, as the title says is this something a job can do? My friend just had this happen to him. They told him they didn't feel he was productive enough so either use PTO to cover the day or come in on a day off to make up the time. I don't feel like they're allowed to do that and I'm trying to find something to send to him so he can stand his ground. They also mentioned that they're planning to put him on a PIP if they don't see him doing better. This is the first time he's gotten a warning, verbal or otherwise, and it feels completely out of left field. He has complained that his boss has been very short with him recently (within the last month) and doing things like giving EOD deadlines in the middle of the day. I've already warned my friend…

I checked my bank account the week after Christmas (yesterday) and didn’t see anything different in my paycheck. I was told that in order to get holiday pay (at Ulta) you have to work the day of/before the holiday and the day after (even though I wasn’t scheduled) in order to get holiday pay 🤨 I’ve never heard of that or had it happen like that for me, personally. Any holiday I worked, I usually got paid (without having to come in the day after or whatever) I feel kinda cheated, tbh. Is it like that for anyone else as far as holiday pay- working the day of/before and then the day after ?

I asked about holiday pay earlier this week. We get paid for Christmas but not new years. We don't work that day but we aren't getting paid for it either. This feels illegal but I'm not sure. I figured I'd ask around first before I called anyone about it

I dont know if these people are just now learning that word or what, but people are actively speaking out on how the average person has no chance making it while all the favoritism is going on. I dont understand why people cant look at their own working conditions, get outraged, and start doing something about it.

So I told a previous story on here about a job at a hotel I got as a front desk clerk just for side money. Well I got recruited to be a GM for another hotel, and started that job the Monday after thanksgiving. Well today I was to be fired by my supervisor. I demanded arbitration but was still relieved of my duties. Informed this supervisor that I would be developing a hostile work place claim, and had witnessed her making racist comments about my staff. She has spent the rest of the morning interrogating my staff in hopes to find something she can use on me. So why was I relieved. Well, long story short, I bucked the system by staffing the hotel properly and costing them a 5% and 8% increase in payroll over normal during the holiday. But the kicker was yesterday was my anniversary, so…
