I haven’t been working at my company for a very long time, but it’s pretty basic work and they treat me very well with benefits. It’s a two person office and the manager is quitting and I applied for his position because I have management experience from the past and I know our customers very well. I came with four glowing recommendations from 4 managers from other offices I worked closely with. Our supervisor explained I have to work here for 4 more months before I could move up, but they’re having trouble filling the position. He expects I’ll be running the office by myself for two to three months. I have no trouble with running the office alone because there are days I do already and I’m comfortable with the workload. My issue is that I’ll be staying at the same pay rate for picking up that extra manager…
Put in my two weeks notice
Put in my two weeks notice this past Monday, making my last day the 18th. Felt good. I wanted to leave on good terms and I didn’t want to burn any bridges with the company since I know a lot of people here. So we have a late shift calendar and each day a staff member is asked to stay while trades finish up OT work on site, usually an hour past when you would usually leave. I’m cool with that and didn’t ask to be removed even though I’m checked out at this point. My manager just told me that this Friday when I’m the scheduled late shift coverage, will be a very late night – working until midnight. He tells me I can come in late that say since of the extra hours. Two things to keep in mind – I am a salary employee not eligible for…
The temptation
Any productive ways to cuss out my old starbucks and college faculty manger for being harrassing bitches to me. At this point. It's fucking Ridiculous. I am keep on posting about my psychotic path starbucks manger
Aside from retail jobs in high school and college, I've never worked a professional job that was located anywhere near where I lived. I know there are jobs that do what I do near my home, but for some reason they always pass me over and I'm hired somewhere far away (Usually 2-4 hours' of commute time per day). It's not like I'm living in the middle of nowhere, I've always lived in major metropolitan hubs. I actually had to get a second car because I was hired at a job outside of our public transit system. The job paid slightly more than my previous one, but after the lease payment/insurance/gas/parking fees I was bringing in less than $1,000 a month. But it was the only way I could get to work to make money. This was interesting because it was in a very rich area, but no one who…
What exactly do recruiters do?
I'm job searching at the moment and have been getting contacted by recruiters through email and LinkedIn. I've never had this happen before, but I've had phone interviews with some. The interviews go well, they push my application through, and then…Nothing. They don't respond to emails or phone calls, even though they were open to communication during the initial parts of the interaction. I know that a lot of recruiters are scams, but this also happens with reputable recruiters. I've had several people tell me that recruiters are a waste of time and they've never been hired through one. The recruiters know nothing about the companies or the type of work you do, they just need to contact a certain amount of people per day and just throw shit at the wall until the company hires someone through them and gives them a commission.
I gave in my two weeks notice to a company I’ve worked at three years. I was treated like dog shit from day one. I was called everything from stupid to being physically pushed by superiors. So naturally, after finding a new job I simply did not give a fuck. I came in 5 or 6 minutes late everyday for the last week and a half. I do not plan on returning to this company. Today, my boss informed that I will be docked an hour for every 5 minutes I’ve been late. This is due to the fact that we can only charge our time by the hour supposedly. I do not clock in, my foreman keeps my time on his iPad. If they aren’t allowed to do this what should be my proceeding steps from here?
What does everyone here do for work?
Problems with management
I work in retail and there’s a girl the same age as me that just became a manager that’s on my shift. She stays on my ass about getting work done but she won’t stay on the people that walk around like braindead zombies. I have to rely on my coworkers to get things done because everything requires teamwork but she doesn’t say anything to them. She also tells upper management anything I say or do. She is always putting me down. I used to enjoy working here because of the people but now I feel like I’m not appreciated.
