Full time benefits

Around 2 months ago I agreed to work full time, signed an agreement and all. Yet I haven't recieved health insurance availability or the full time PTO yet. I've spoken with my managers multiple times, and they keep saying they will fix it. What can I do?

Salary and time off seem wonky

Hey everyone! I took my first salary job and I felt as though I had a good understanding of how salary worked but something seems shady. The trade one makes with salary is that, more often than not, you will be working extra hours and not getting paid any extra. However, I was under the impression that this meant you had more flexibility if you needed to take a day off, especially if there was absolutely no reason you needed to be in. I was feeling ill and stayed home mostly because it would be a huge detriment to my entire team if they were to get sick. I was not needed, we had coverage, I didn’t have any meetings. I was informed that I will lose 8 hours sick time, the day will be unpaid, and I only have 4 more unpaid days the rest of the year to…

Day three of asking how I’m going to get my check when I was told not to step foot on the business. Sad because it’s a family friend.

Report jobs on job sites that falsely advertise or have “hooks” on their hourly

This is the most ridiculous shit I have seen. I want part time work while I take online classes and half of the positions shown for part time on Indeed are just full-time positions advertising on multiple parts of the website. Report them. I just saw one that advertised $15 an hour, then in the description listed that they only pay $10 an hour, but cover “mileage reimbursement, travel time, tips, and bonus holiday pay which adds up to at least $15 an hour.” It also has a non-cemented schedule, no holiday breaks, and requires you to pay for your own criminal background check. I am flabbergasted at the sheer audacity of the owner of the “company” to advertise dumb shit like that. Whenever I have ever worked in any position like these, you are not getting $15 an hour like advertised, you are being promised the idea that you'll…

Not being able to go to a convention I paid for in March 2020

So I work at a hometown local grocery store. Been in business for 73yrs. I got hired March of 2021. Back in March of 2020 I had booked a vacation to a convention in Austin TX. Of course it got canceled due to covid. Convention gets rolled over to this year. Passes are paid for, hotel is booked, flight is booked. But I'm being told I can't go to the trip being it's during the 4th of July weekend. Which are “red days” meaning all staff has to be available to work. I had no idea that the convention was going to reschedule for the most busy time at the store. But I booked this trip well before I worked here. I d o like my job. But I don't think I should be punished for wanting to go to something I spent money on 2yrs ago. I rarely travel,…

Manager in Training is Fools Gold

The following is a review I wrote after having worked MIT at a local Subway. More to it than what's written here, but it's got the spark notes. TL:DR Manager doesn't train his employees. Gets angry with employees for not following their training. 1.0 Zero Stars (if I could) Manager in Training (MIT) (Former Employee), Logan, UT – March 27, 2022 One of THE WORST job experiences I've ever had. I was hired on as MIT (manager-in-training) and found out very quickly, I would not be receiving “training”. The GM handed me off to his Assistant Manager to train me my first day. The Assistant manager said all of four words to me that day.. my first day. Even less was communicated to me the following few days. Of course, having recieved next to no training, I made a couple mistakes doing prep work. On my fourth day (of training) I unfortunately had to…

3 sick days a year no rollover

My boss sent us a message in the group chat saying we only get three days off per year. He also stated that if not used they won’t rollover to the following year. I’m pretty sure this is not okay but idk. Honestly the company I work for does some really sketchy stuff should I speak up??
