i recently got a job at this company that was struggling with employees, the company itself doesn't have a massive turnover,but,they were in need of staff,and i applied to work for them, initially when i applied,they offered me $28/hr, cool,you'll work with staffing and then the company will hire you (so no benefits,OK lets give it a try).
they call me 3 weeks before hiring telling me that the position has been capped at $25, wth??? i was locked on $28,well staffing can only go at $25 max,once you get hired by the company,well raise the salary….this one rubbed me the wrong way and was very annoyed and only took it because seems to be the only company that actually called me and shows an interest of hiring me,reluctantly i took it cause bills and rent,i'm not a massive spender and save a lot of money so its aight for the time being.
the job itself was nothing what it was described, long story short (and loose), i was supposed to program robots,but ended up in a warehouse packing stuff,still getting paid $25,the workplace is actually pretty chill,and don't have managers breathing down my neck,which is pretty good,but i was still salty at being done dirty.
cue to last week,a company i applied to programming plc's in late November called me wanting to hire me at $29, with 0 hesitation i took the offer,and put my last 3 weeks yesterday, and what i got from management (which apparently liked me cause i could work,i can easily adapt to any environment,unlike the clusterfucks they hired before) was “that's bad,sorry to hear that” “y'all not gonna counter?” “how much is the offer” “$29” “yeah that's out of our hands”…”well sorry to hear that”,and i walked back to work
so they're struggling with people (the position requires at least 4 people to do efficiently,yet me and another guy are leaving,leaving only 1 person to do all the work),but refuse to visit pay,and this isn't a mom and pop company,its a multi billion company, that'll probably write the losses of that building on their taxes.
STOP CRYING ABOUT HELP,I'M HERE,ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY ME?
sorry for the rant,but it annoys me when someone shoots themselves in the foot instead of being wise,anyways,i got 3 weeks here,lets see if they do a counter (if they even at all)
