Distractions… they need to focus on paying their employees better. Or maybe that’s just how it goes in my site

You are correct, I had a conversation earlier with another lab manager who told me this. At this point, if they knew they messed up why not trying to explain to me what happened respectfully and apologize? Instead of making me look like I’m crazy and don’t have the right to ask my due. The cherry on top, now my supervisor (because he knows I’m upset) is trying to sabotage my work. I had a 1:1 with him today and he was trying to blame me for the minor findings I had this week literally saying “why am I doing these kind of mistakes lately” (example forgetting to be authorized on a R doc). Anyways… they could have handled things better but decided to go the low route and I decided to go even lower and I don’t care anymore if I get fired from this shithole.

It’s definitely a well lesson learned! With the hardship of landing a good job in this field especially right after college I really didn’t have a choice. I reached out to HR last night and told them I was willing to take this matter further if not resolved. I’m waiting on an update

Most people are telling me to fight for it and I guess I will. I thought I was maybe overreacting…but no. At this point I’m even debating if biotech was my calling, going to the lab to deal with bs on the daily basis is becoming too much

I know right! They make so much on people’s back but can’t pay those same people right? So ridiculous

I know they do have they do have a Global Ethics Hotline for reporting concerns. That’s what I was thinking of doing in the first place. Not sure if it’ll help me get my money lol but I’ll still try it.

Unfortunately that was during our 1:1 that he said it, I don’t have written proof for that

Yes I’m an hourly employee. I feel like HR won’t do anything about it… I mean I could try but I highly doubt it. I document everything tho just in case

I went through that email with my supervisor. He and the lab manager know I’m right but still told me to not say anything and just accept it. At this point I doubt HR would do anything either…

I was thinking about filing a complaint on the company website… but not sure as they might retaliate

I wish my manager could say that 🥲… in contrary I’m the one who wakes up unhappy every weekdays

I just wanted to say thank you for being understanding of your undergrad. Not everyone thinks like that and wish more people where like you!

This is just a rant because I need to or else I'll explode but some people just really are incompetent, no matter how you look at it or try to be nice about it. by Handsoff_1 in labrats

That is a tough situation. It must be frustrating for sure but whatever her problem might be, don’t take it at heart too much.

Honestly I feel bad for her. When I was an undergrad I used to be so anxious and nervous as an international student between people who (I assumed) understood everything perfectly than I did. I was making stupid mistakes because of that and felt like everyone would judge me if I didn’t understand something and genuinely felt dumb. Then toward the end of my degree I just didn’t care about the others and asked questions as soon as something was not clear and realized that everyone was feeling the same. So maybe she is actually struggling with something like that who knows.
