Learn from my mistake and look up a company before applying to any jobs or accepting any job offers. I just looked up the company I used to work for out of morbid curiosity and the negative reviews mirror my experience with the company to the letter.
I’m a nurse and need bereavement leave. My company policy entitles me to three shifts. I’m asking two. They’re trying to only approve one. Just sent this email: “Hello X, I appreciate staffing concerns and I think I have demonstrated flexibility and teamwork for staffing in critical times on a consistent basis. I have never missed a day of work since my time of hire for any reason and pick up overtime regularly. Respectfully, though, I will not be coming to work on Sunday 1/29.

I want to write out my entire sob story here but I’m just so emotionally drained and overwhelmed that I can’t…
First off how many times I have to put in the same information on the same applications that also needs my resume with all the same info on it, just to get an email back that I need to apply on the official website and write in all the same info again OR the jobs that string you along with no desire to actually hire, like the one I had to check in with every day for over a month before the managers were actually in store, and then stopped talking to me after they filled out all my paperwork OR the job offers that just never respond, no follow-up, no rejection email, which is 95% of the jobs OR the jobs I've been applying to that want me to make the job my entire life, telling me I can't wrestle on the weekends because they might need me over…
