I was recently moved from part time to full time. I work assisted living as a housekeeper, but was recently added to the activities team. Yay, right?
Except, after was brought on board, I was told I have to pay for my own supplies/costumes for event dates set up by the company. There is no reimbursement. I am currently going through bankruptcy and literally cannot afford to purchase anything for work. I was told if I don’t follow policy and dress up on the theme dates, I will be written up.
Gotta love how you feel like you can move on up, only to be told it’s coming out of your own pocket. I’d rather just go back to staying a housekeeper—at least I don’t have to buy my own cleaning supplies as they have to be OSHA compliant and supplied by the company.
Thinking of sending an email to the big boss of the company so I have something in writing. If she verifies what the coordinator told me, then I think I’m going to back out of the position. I refuse to lose my job just because I’m poor.
EDIT: I am in California for those wanting to know. The job is a W2 job. I work 4 jobs total (assisted living, physical therapy, Uber eats, and Instacart.)
