For background I have a side gig that sometimes pays well sometimes pays crap. So I usually work a disposable job that will pay at least $15 an hour to guarantee I'll make my payments. My last disposable job let me go because I didn't meet a sales quota. So I was offered another disposable job at $15 an hour and told to wait until the drug test and criminal background test came back and then they would schedule an orientation. So I stopped looking for disposable jobs and figured how long can this crap take? Maybe a couple of days?
So a week later I'm regretting that I stopped looking for a disposable job and I find out they finally got my criminal background check and drug check back. And they can't schedule my orientation so I can start for another 6 days because as the HR person says we are really backed up.
You would think in an economy where all the billion dollar corporations are complaining that nobody wants to work for them they would speed up the entire human resources onboarding process. An you would be wrong. If I have been smart I would have kept looking for a disposable job that would have started by now. So I really hope my part-time on again off again side gig absolutely explodes in the month of April to make up for the two and a half weeks unpaid leave from disposable jobs
