I find it really annoying that they have the nerve to do this and just told its straight up legal to just because they are a private company.
Today is my new employee orientation, which has to be within your first 30 days. It only happens once a month, so I’ve been here almost a full month before this, but others have been working here only for max 4 weeks. Yet they want us all to submit Glassdoor reviews for working for them already…. Maybe it’s just me, but that seems like a bit of a sketchy way to get people to leave reviews early before they’ve had a chance to really feel out the company. I haven’t had any bad experiences so far, but still find it odd.
Tricked into full time
Not sure if this is the place for this. My girlfriend works 3rds part time stocking grocery. They offered her a position for their remodel team for the next four months but claimed she needed to be full time. She accepted the offer 2 weeks ago but has only done stuff that would be considered her new job 2 days. The rest they have had her doing her old job of stocking. She’s pissed and feels they tricked her into going full time just to have her do the same job. Even her name and others were removed from the remodel team list. She addressed her complaints to managers and they said there is nothing she can do and is stuck with the schedule for the four months. Is there anything we can do?
I had to call out today because my OCD is making everything immensely difficult. The hot water in my house broke and the water is so cold I really can't shower in it, and my OCD won't let me go to work if I haven't showered shortly beforehand, my manager didn't guilt me (he's quite nice) when I called but I'm worried there will be repercussions later or that I made work more difficult for everyone because we are usually understaffed and I'm the only hostess scheduled for today. I know that's on them as managers for not hiring enough people, but I still feel really bad about myself and I'm pretty new at this job and have already called out a couple times before so I'm not doing well about it .
My coworker chewed me out for no reason.
The story: I work with troubled youths at a court ordered behavioral rehab facility. Staff have to maintain contact with other pods when they transition to and from locations. Yesterday I was asked when the other pod was leaving the lunch room and when we needed to line our pod up, so I radioed my coworker asking when they were on their last five minutes (this lets the other pod waiting to go know when to get ready to transition.) Upon the other pod returning, my coworker leading the other pod starts going off on me, being rude, and telling me off in front of all 24 kids, multiple staff, and my supervisor, saying “You should know what time to line up” (he wasn’t even on time himself) and continuing his rude behavior by talking down to me. I had to walk away before I said something regrettable. Every other…
Sick but am the only employee at my job
Like the title says, I am pretty sick with the flu but am the only employee at my job rn. Not available, just the only one they have in general. I work a heavy duty job loading and unloading heavy bags and have to cycle on top of that for about 8-10 hours a day, and am just absolutely broken. I can't lift the cargo because I have 0 strenghth in my body rn, but they just told me I still have to come in tomorrow because nobody from the other locations can cover for me. If I can't complete the work from today, Ill have to get it tomorrow anyway. I just feel a little hopeless rn but can't lose this job because it pays only slightly better than every minimum wage retail job available around me. I guess this is just a rant, but I have no clue…
I'm lost for words. So many companies nowadays expect me to complete 30-40 hours of work during the application process just to be ghosted later on. Saw this article on my LinkedIn feed and just had to vent: https://brightmatterhr.com/knowledge-centre/blogs/this-is-why-your-hiring-process-is-turning-candidates-away/ Stop making candidates jump through crazy hoops (like forcing them to do ACTUAL WORK) before even telling them if they have a realistic chance to get the role.
Lil graphic I made
long story short, my boss asked me a few months ago if i wanted to try out sales and i said yes. last week i emailed him and said i didnt want to do it anymore for various reasons and when i spoke to him about it, he got weird and defensive about it and mentioned how my old position is going to change now. so he changed it which would be fine, but hes singling me out and putting me in a position that is demeaning compared to what i was doing before and that also isolates me from the people i used to work with. i am going to try and do whatever i can to get it changed back because not only does it affect me but it affects the whole team negatively but i dont expect it to go far because of how stubborn my boss…
