Antiwork

I've gotten a new job. It's a good job, requires a two step interview process, overall 3 months of background checks before hire, several private investigators are assigned to do a more thorough background check. My main PI called all of my previous employers to ask why I left. He called me back to confront me with the information given by them ro see if I agreed/disagreed with their statement. So he called me yesterday to do this (mind you, I've already been hired and am on day 4 of month long training). A daycare I worked at for four months starting in the beginning of 2022 was the only one with negative commentary. They informed my PI that I was on a “no rehire list” because I'd threatened to “call state to get them in trouble”. First of all, this simply isn't true. I never threatened anyone with anything.…

I'm on a new job. I asked where to send my automatic deposit form for my paycheck. The lead told me recruiter should have handled that. I emailed the recruiter and recruiter sent that info request to lead's boss. Lead is now mad I went over their head because recruiter turns out to be the lead's bosses boss and lead says it makes her look bad, like lead doesn't know how to do lead's job. I have to keep this steppingstone job 3 months to get my big boy dream job, but lead comes to my desk daily, takes my mouse and checks my email. p.s. lead is gross I spray my mouse down with disinfectant when they leave. How do I get the lead to stop?
