Long story short I need a doctor's note to explain why I called off today. Chat me, and I can give you the information you need. The real reason I called off is because of depression but I don't want to get checked into a mental hospital, I just need a day off to recuperate.
Does anyone know of any templates for a reply/renegotiation to a severance letter? I’m not hiring a lawyer for this. It would cost everything they’re giving me. My company is only offering me 6 weeks pay. They didn’t pay out for my accrued sick leave (68 hours) and since we have unlimited PTO I can’t collect that, but we were offered one week to be taken within 90 days for working during Christmas week and mine was scheduled for Feb 6th. Obviously had I known I was being laid off I would have taken it sooner. Anything else that should be asked for? My only bargaining chip is retaliation for complaining to HR about a colleague (I was offered a transfer to another team and after my meeting with HR it was rescinded). Unfortunately I can only go so far with that as I was locked out of my company…
The reality is that most of us need jobs to pay the bills. If, like me, you have little to no experience, it can be damn near impossible. Almost every job ad I've seen requires previous experience of at least 2 years, even for something “entry level”. How on earth am I meant to have experience if entry level jobs already require experience?? It's like nobody is willing to train you or to have any level of patience, they just want people to pop out of the womb knowing everything. If you're a genius I suppose you can probably “survive” the system, but I wasn't that lucky. On top of that, I've been looking for remote jobs because I don't want to be tied down to an office, but even jobs advertised as “fully remote” often require you to go to the office and I just cannot for the life…
So I work for a gas station company right now. Nothing much but I was technically working for it's sister company until it was bought out by the State. Mind you the other company owned get payed more than we did. Right now I'm just hopped from other stores despite not being payed the same as the other company and I'm not expecting a raise or at least a match with everyone else until the main store I'm hired on is finished being built. Which by the way is about a .50 raise and to top it all off the GM of the store I'm at is apparently a Nazi. The only reason I haven't quit is because I have several bills looming over my shoulder
