Back in July after being unemployed for a year, I received and interview and then an offer with a large customer service company to do remote customer support for a large clothing brand. The offer letter said exactly, “The pay rate is $13 first 3 pay periods, $14 next 3 pay periods, and $15 ongoing.” I entered my 4th pay period on 10/2, but by 10/6 I didn't see a change in ADP, so I reached out to HR to confirm the pay bump but heard nothing back all week. Reached out to my boss today who forward it along to a Senior Lead higher up who called my offer letter “misleading” so I won't be getting any sort of bump in pay. I just reached out to HR again today through their portal but after not receiving a reply in the first place I'm not expecting anything. I guess…

Ridiculous scam job offer
This is my first post here, the job scam offer I got today is so ridiculous that I needed to share it here. I am 25M engineer, with a couple of years of experience, but not much. A lady from this company was calling me, really nice, the typical HR interview where they save your profile in their DB… She insisted a lot on the fact that I should be very fast answering her e-mails, because the competency is really high in my field and I should be the first accepting the offer so I can be presented fast to the companies… The pay rates were really high so I thought that the amount of candidates could be inmense. Today I have just received an e-mail asking for my signature so they could represent me and start the interviews with the customer, and at first I had the urge…

I resigned from my job of 20 years.
TLDR: I quit after 20 years. On October 3rd I went in on my day off and gave a 30 day notice. Context. I am a lead imaging technologist for a large company. I am the only nuclear medicine technologist. I gave them 30 days is hoe that they could find another tech to come in and get some sort of training before I left. I hit send on the email and got an immediate call from my bosses boss. He asked me what was wrong. I told him it was simple. You did not invest in to my career development. I found a job that was willing to invest in me. As a human. He asked what he could do. I told him that he needed to get the wheels in motion to get a replacement. Do not waste your time getting a counter offer together because November 4th…

Being Treated as a Product
I’m struggling to find a job. A lot. I recently graduated college with a web dev degree but need to stay in a specific town for a couple years where there’s pretty much no opportunity in my field, and with my portfolio getting remote work in my field is practically impossible. Being that I just needed some cash to live, I’ve started applying to places that don’t require degrees like retail jobs. I have bad social anxiety so my options are somewhat limited, and everything I’ve applied to so far has either rejected me or failed to respond. I figured I could branch out of my comfort zone a little bit and apply for a grocery store job. A month or so after applying, I finally get a text saying I’ve got an interview! Hooray! Something about this text is weird though. It’s an automated text from a robot and…
They want highly technical worker to work weekends, and non-normal work hours, non-remote in WASHINGTON DC ( a very expensive area) for ***drum roll***** 70k. Ummm no. They said they have. good benefits. I emailed them back stating I expected pay and benefits to exceed 175k before I even looked at the offer. Oh and they want someone to start ASAP. Pssshhhh.

I'm blessed to even have a job that is able to pay employees “Covid relief pay” if we are able to submit a positive test. They will pay 5-10 days worth of pay for this for any employee. Yesterday I took a Covid test with a positive result and submitted it to our HR department who assured me in writing that I would receive this pay and to not come into the office. I feel like absolute garbage and was so relieved by this. This morning, however, my manager reached out to me to ask if I'll work from home to make phone calls all week and essentially work on my coworkers problem files for them all week for the same exact pay that I'd be receiving for just recovering and doing no work. There's no possible way that I can be on the phones all week because even speaking…
