Hi! Copied this text from a post I made on another sub.
Long story short, signed an offer letter with my college at the start of the semester, 2 months ago, for an on-campus job. Submitted and verified all the required paperwork the same week I was hired. I was slated to start towards the end of September (leaving out specific date on the off chance someone from my college is here).
But it’s been crickets. After reaching out to HR a few times over the last 2 months, first I found out they didn’t verify my demographic info (which they proceeded to do), then I was told to reach out to my supervisor. I did. Crickets. Haven’t been scheduled all semester and I had a good few thousand dollars in work study I could’ve been earning.
Even last week, reached out again not only to my supervisor but to the official HR director. Still absolutely nothing. Is this legal? Do I have any good routes of action? I’m just pissed because I had to jump through a ton of hoops to get the position, and now…crickets. And i’m afraid to leave this job without working at all, as I’m scared it would blacklist me from future on-campus work.
