And I respond telling you why I don’t want to pursue it.

So I work for a large healthcare system that I went FT with in January, hired the previous October as PT. I wasn’t made FT until 1/16 due to some “technical” errors in an employee platform they use, which pushed my benefits election to this date. Now, I’m unable to select benefits due to another “error” in the same system, leaving myself and my husband uninsured. I’ve filed so many tickets trying to resolve this issue with HR, because we can’t speak to anyone directly (it has to be online tickets via chat). And now I’m coming close to my election deadline, 2/16. No one can figure out the problem or even communicate what my options are, as we both have medications and health issues we need to make appointments for. What can I do? Is there anyone at a state level or a federal level that can help me…

Delete if not allowed. I have a friend who works as a mortgage originator for a bank. She is set up on an incentive based pay structure where she gets a base salary plus incentive pay for originating and closing loans over her base production goal. Recently, the employer has capped the amount of applications she can originate per week which could potentially hinder her ability to exceed her goals and get her bonuses. My question is, is this allowed? I doubt it is illegal but just thought I’d ask Reddit as Google isn’t turning up anything.

Random question. If i got parking ticket in a company car but got fired a week later should I pay it or ignore it AFTER they already paid parking enforcement? Background information The week I was let go they said it was a business decision, said they liked me but it was mostly due to speculation of my peers, whatever that means. I told them that it was a BS reason and should be based on my work ability. My supervisor said he agrees but can't do anything about work politics. I had a parking ticket that I was going to pay, but since I've been let go they paid it off the company car (under the company name) then sent me a letter 3 weeks later telling me to write them a check for it to the company. My supervisor was cool with me. My manager who ordered me…

Has this happened to anyone? I am an Aussie and used to live in Perth, Western Australia. A shop selling bulk whole foods and European niche products always had a handwritten cardboard sign in the window “Casual Staff Wanted”. I went in to inquire couple of times, never got a call back, figured they wanted younger staff because I was in my 30s and teenagers are cheaper. However, the Staff Wanted sign was *always in the front window…. They couldn't find anyone?? I later met an Irish backpacker, who'd applied and got the job, along with his fellow Irish backpacker. They were told it was only one staff vacancy, they could both do a day's unwaged training as a tryout and whoever showed most aptitude would get the job… Which was going to be cash in hand. So, these two set to, they were mates so it was a friendly,…

So recently I have noticed a big wave of head hunters trying to get me to leave my current job. The role/pay is significantly higher then my current job and considering these positions has been a bit overwhelming. When I walked into work today I over heard that one of our employees left for a high level director position, when (in my opinion) he had not that much experience in his role in the first place. I asked the director if this has been an issue with hiring/keeping people. He respond by saying that a lot of people are leaving for high level positions/pay with minimal experience. (Sorry for the lack of details;job position/company) Anyways, I chuckled a little bit because i am worried about taking on a new role because I don’t want to be set up for failure. Granted, I am experienced but I don’t want to end…

I work at a restaurant in Spain and I get paid by the hour. Every Sunday they send me my schedule for the week (so I can't ever plan ahead) but every day they make me clock in late because of many reasons. Usually I have to wait 30 mins, but there was 4 times I had to wait 1h. What do you think?

I just realized that I always kind of plummet or work not well when I’ve never gotten good feed back. And I also kind of wonder what kind of manager isn’t able to give credit when it’s due. I’m still struggling with the loss of a job I had for 4 1/2 years, and although I could have done a lot of things better, handled things better. I never had my manager acknowledge when I did good. Like I had to pat myself on the back a lot, and also no one in my small team ever gave me a shot out directly. I’ve only gotten shout outs from other team members.

Title says it all. I work at a diner and we've had a slow few weeks because of road works. Boss refuses to gross me up because he said that I'm not trying hard enough.
