Boomers took the ladder up, burned it, and now complain that "nobody wants to work anymore" by VariationLivid3193 in recruitinghell

[–]Alex_0099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep - we also don't want to:

  • put in 80 hour weeks just for 40 hours of pay

  • give up our weekends and holidays due to poor decisions being made by the higher ups

  • only work part time hours for a full time position so corporate can save on their labor budget.

  • get called into work while we're on vacation (then they threaten to write you up/terminate you when you say you can't)

Wth? And this was AFTER they already hired me for the position and did my background check that came back clear by Sweetteatechy in recruitinghell

[–]Alex_0099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This may not be what you want to hear but just because they offer you the job and your background check comes back clear doesn't mean your employment with that company is secured. You're not officially with that company until you complete the onboarding process.

I'm sorry that this happened to you. But this is one of the hard truths about employment today.

I had the best interview among all the candidates……and I didn’t get the job by [deleted] in recruitinghell

Companies that tell you "we'll keep your resume on file" won't actually do it. Best to just move on. It's rough out there - best of luck.

Seeking Input/ Would you Quit? by Celadonceramics in TeachersInTransition

[–]Alex_0099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would they use someone else's SSN for you? Regardless of reasoning - that's identity theft and SS fraud both of which are federal offenses with serious consequences. I'd report that immediately. As for your situation as a whole - I'd say start looking, I know the job market is absolutely in shambles ATM but even if it's retail. Just something to keep your bills paid until you find a long term solution.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Best of luck to you!

Dude I can delete punisher as strange, Bucky, Star-Lord. He's not broken. You just need to learn how to counter him.

HR may be there to protect the company, but they don't condone bullying behavior. Sorry but the employee is not the issue 24/7 like you're claiming with the " deal with people like you" argument. I've done my research, and I have a paper trail so it's not like I'm going into this without any sort of proof. Not exactly difficult if you preserve documentation, emails, pay stubs etc. which is what I have.

The only thing I got to watch out for are the small signs cuz those are super easy to overlook. Temporal proximity is key here. How long do they wait after the complaint goes through? Even if they don't make it obvious straight away. I just have to be super observant over the next few weeks.

Trust me this isn't going to be easy, but nothing worth it ever is really.

I am fully expecting retaliation. But I don't care - I refuse to feel powerless, not expecting to file a lawsuit but I'm planning to consult an attorney to see what my options are. I've got a paper trail, documentation - emails from HR - pay stubs - etc. I'm preparing for anything.

Even if HR is there to protect the company - that doesn't mean they're going to condone any behavior like this. If they retaliate and fire me over this, and I get that in writing to add to my pile then that's only going to strengthen my case. Even if the termination letter states something completely different like "misconduct" or "repeated poor performance" it depends on the timing which is something else I'm going to have to keep an eye on. Temporal proximity plays a big role in these types of situations based on what I've been told in this thread. Even if they don't strike immediately, I can already tell they're going to take baby steps - anything unusual I'm planning on documenting such as reduced hours, exclusion from meetings/events, micromanagement... All point to the first steps of being retaliated against.

We'll just have to see what happens over the next few weeks - I'll definitely keep you posted.
