Can I do anything about a job offer being recinded. I have all documentation for being hired and they called me 2 days before I'm suppose to start and said there was a glitch in the system and I didn't get the job. After I talked to someone in HR and someone else extending the job offer. Completed a background and drug test. Can they just do this? I now have no job.
Title says it all. I just got hired at a company full time. I go into work on my third day and get told that the company is doing lay off of newly hired employees. Supervisor wouldn’t even let me in the door. Why the hell did you hire me if you were going to just lay me off! I quit a perfectly good job that I can’t go back to!
US union members are having their right to strike threatened by the Supreme Court this week. They’re trying to make us pay money for accidental “damages” to the companies we strike against. Never mind that withholding our labor is the only response to employers that have screwed us. This could open the gates to more lawsuits against union members from companies. This conservative Supreme Court also disallowed union organizers from talking to farm workers during off-work hours- the reason being that the farm owners got to control what kind of speech was had on their land. US Link In the UK, there is a bill proposed to force certain public sector employees back to work even during strikes. If they don’t comply, they can be fired. Rightwing members of Parliament claims that this is helping the public remain safe – essential services are forced to continue functioning. Labour members and…
Throwaway here just to be safe. Two years. Two years of looking for a new career to get out of my toxic job. I finally landed an offer and am officially resigning! Double the pay, remote, great benefits, and all within a career that I studied for. I’m leaving behind all that toxicity, burnout, stress, low pay, anxiety + depression that came with it, targeted harassment, blatant favoritism, environment of fear… everything. Everything I’ve been through the past few years is going to be gone from my life. New year, new pastures, better pay, better benefits! Weirdly enough, I’m anxious as fuck about resigning lol. But mostly excited. Here’s to a New Year! 🥂
As the title says I quit my job a month ago due to harassment. My manager, over the months, had made me cry and wanted to have friendly conversations even though I didn't. The conversations weren't sexual by any means but he insisted on being friendly when I was uncomfortable. He even went as far as to send me text messages unrelated to work asking if we were ok. I just wasn't comfortable talking to him about other things other than work. He would dangle my job in my face because I was too emotional even though that never caused me to fail at my work. I just took things personally. At most I would stay quiet and not smile so much but my numbers were consistently high. He hated that I wouldn't smile or look at him. Eventually, he threw that in my face and that I was too…
So I started a job in October for a engineering consulting firm and work for a huge construction manufacturer in their engineering / purchasing department. I received the open enrollment deadline email in November less than a month starting and signed up for the benefit of health insurance, but apparently signed up for new hire in year 2022. I just found out today after not being able to use insurance that it was because I did new hire even know I followed the link the company sent they are saying I didn’t do open enrollment, but I was under the impression that what I signed up for was 2023. So now I have no health insurance for 2023 and will have to pay out of pocket. I made it known to the partners at the firm that I’m very unhappy with how this was handled but they are saying there…
I’ve been working at a daughter company of a big name multi-billion dollar company. When I started I was told that my beginning wage would be $17 an hour. And then after 90 days I would be bumped up to 20+ dollars an hour. I started that job in late February, and it wasn’t until almost November that I got that pay raise and full-time status. I have been at this job for one month shy of five years, in about a year ago a random ass dude that was friends with the general manager got hired on at a wage higher than my current wage. He got hired on at a wage at least $1.50 higher than my current wage. You must maintain 40 hours a week and he has been one of the most inconsistent employees that my team has it still makes that sandwich. We were all…
I worked at a $1.7B company that had about 6,000 employees. They were all elites and I didn’t vibe with them from the start. Did the job so well that the CFO and other sr people commented on my work being outstanding. Jan 3rd 2023 they removed my hybrid work schedule knowing that was the only reason I came there. I brought this up and they suspended me for my “behavior” and when I asked what behavior they said insubordination. I told them I’d personally met with HR prior to bringing up my schedule and I did exactly as instructed and it resulted in my termination! They said “no it was for nothing more than i subordination”. I’ve got a masters, a 1 year old single dad. I’ve got my resume out there and this company paid me off to get me to come there. They literally recruited me there!…
https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/federal-register-notices/non-compete-clause-rulemaking Add your support at the website above which breaks down explains the proposed rule. There have already been several posts calling out attention to this proposed rule and I saw at least one with this link in the comments. I just wanted to reiterate to bring more attention to it and to put the link at the top so hopefully more people will see. (If someone has already done this, let me know and I will delete.) We get so few opportunities to voice our opinions in places that matter. I don't know if this will, but we can try.
