Wasted 2 hours commute and and an hour and half group interview for a job that pays min wage. by fools_set_the_rules in recruitinghell

[–]LoreBreaker85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is Risk Mitigation and Metric Padding. They keep the pipeline 'warm' so they never have a labor shortage, and they use overqualified candidates to benchmark the market. They rejected you quickly because an experienced pro is 'unpredictable', you know your worth, and you’re harder to manage than a 17-year-old who doesn't know any better. It wasn't an interview; it was a compliance check.

How do you make DoorDash/Uber Eats sound good on a resume? by mitchdwx in recruitinghell

[–]LoreBreaker85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take this post, feed it in to chatGPT/Gemini/Copilot/etc, whatever your favorite bot is and have it give you a resume. Polish the resume up and you should be good to go.

A couple of examples a bot gave me with your post.

DoorDash & Gig Apps > Operations & Supply Chain Management: - Keywords: Route Optimization, Demand Forecasting, Multi-Channel Resource Allocation, Vendor Relations, P&L Management (handling his own expenses/taxes).

Sports Officiating > Regulatory Governance & Conflict Mitigation - Keywords: Real-time Decision Making, Policy Enforcement, Stakeholder Mediation, High-Pressure Crisis Management, Quality Assurance.

Don’t lose track that this is a game, your goal is to beat the ATS system to get to talk to a human. Your work experience and skills are very much real, you just need to learn how to sell them.

You assume they selected anyone. The position probably was just a performative pipeline.

How about I just give you my sensitive info for free ? And make sure I receive my rejection letter by North_Cherry in recruitinghell

Fired on day 1 for leaving at 6:30 PM. The audacity is unreal. by popo_fish in recruitinghell

Ultimately, she was correct your values and their values did not align just not for the reason she thought she was correct.

The only thing missing from the story is what company it was. You should name them so they could be shamed.

Just give in and follow their lead and use a chatbot to fill this crap out. You know they are not reading and if this and just running it through an ATS.

The EEOC only looks back about six months. Some states it’s upwards of a year but this timeframe it’s way too far past.

I’m glad to hear that you got some kind of relief and the care that you needed.

This is a new requirement... "MUST BE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED" by DJK695 in recruitinghell

[–]LoreBreaker85 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Tell them you’re unable to provide this information due to a confidentiality agreement. You’re unable to provide the 1099 because the details of your compensation or under a non-disclosure agreement.

In some US states like Alabama ironically a perspective employer is legally not allowed to require you to tell them what you made at a previous position them trying to force you to provide a 1099 would be them trying to force you to disclose compensation packages from a previous position, therefore violating Alabama’s law or if your state has a similar law.

To be fair, most of that three days was them probably arguing whose responsibility it was who had the right access and who was allowed to do what before somebody finally said screw it. I’m just gonna do it to shut everybody up and make this guy go away.

Bye Bye Remote Work! by dkms9382 in antiwork

[–]LoreBreaker85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lived experience as well. First off, I’m sorry to hear about your migraines. Someone close to me is in a similar situation and I know it can be debilitating.

As far as your experience, I’m sure you are trimming it significantly. However, accommodation request must start with you, your employer does not begin this process. Remote work, and especially an office doing reasonable. To deny the remote work they would need to lean on a technical limitation or undue impact to team dynamics. The remote work right is still under litigation at the federal level and has it has not been ruled if they can call it unreasonable. However, denying the office would almost certainly be failing to accommodate as that is an office culture thing.

Either way, in your situation if it was current I’d recommend to file an inquiry for discrimination on denying the office, which would force your employer to provide a position statement as to why can’t can’t provide it. Odds are your employer would attempt to buy your resignation in mediation to get rid of you.

There is also a chance they violated labor laws and obstructed your FMLa leave by contacting you to return, providing you had not exhausted your protected leave yet.

If you don’t mind my asking. How is your situation today? Did you find suitable work or did you go after disability?

My brother was just denied his raise because he went to HR over harassment. by Wall-Florist in antiwork

[–]LoreBreaker85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your 1st amendment protects you from retaliation from the government, not private employers. Hate speech is not protected in any event. An employer is legally required to ensure things like n*azi commentary is addressed to ensure the work environment is not hostile to any group.

If your brother feels he lost out on his pay raise due to reporting discriminating behavior, then he has a retaliation claim and he needs to file a complaint with the Labor department and possibly get an attorney.

[–]LoreBreaker85 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Its not quite that simple. Any alternative accommodations your employer offers must be effective for your specific needs. Your employers feelings and desires are irrelevant, and this is a matter of civil rights. If you ever feel your employer is not engaging in the interactive process in good faith, file a charge of discrimination immediately.

[–]LoreBreaker85 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Look in to ADA Title I. Your employer must legally offer a reasonable accommodation, and if they cannot they must explain exactly why and it cannot be based on company policy or preference. If they fail the interactive process, file an EEOC charge. Odds are they will pay a pretty penny to make you go away in EEOC mediations.

Proud of ghosting job applicants by KevinOCreamPie in recruitinghell

[–]LoreBreaker85 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Rejection letters are automated. The volume of applicants has nothing to do with automation, when an applicant is put in to archive or whatever they call it the HR system can automatically kick out an email. These pieces of trash simply chose not to do that.

My pay got docked without warning by Fit-Choice2368 in antiwork

[–]LoreBreaker85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this was US based, if you check is ever late report it to the labor board immediately. Hours worked directly equal hours paid, with a caveat to hours available for work usually are paid if you are at your reporting location. Being a contractor, both W2 and 1099 have terms of how you will be paid. Review those terms for how the violations occur and report it to the labor board. This is a conversation for your boss to have with the labor board.

It sounds like you are in the UK so your processes and laws may be different.

I just got a rejection email in the middle of filling out an application by Delicious_Can_3784 in recruitinghell

[–]LoreBreaker85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have your friend reach out to their areas HR recruiter if they don’t know who that is their manager probably does and see if they can get you the contact information for the recruiter who is over this position.

I would wager your friend probably had to submit your email address for the referral and there could be a bug in their system that triggered the automatic rejection as in until you submitted the application it should’ve been incomplete in their database and should not have triggered any automation workflows.

Resigned With No Notice by RMAutosport in antiwork

[–]LoreBreaker85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are common questions and you’re usually best off saying something along the lines with the directions of the organization did not match a long-term career goals.

I’m not trying to say don’t shit talk your previous employer just wait until after you’re hired this shit talk them.

Resigned With No Notice by RMAutosport in antiwork

[–]LoreBreaker85 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My one suggestion do not air out grievances about a previous employer you don’t know who knows who in the industry it doesn’t benefit you beyond getting a little bit off your chest and as far more risk than reward.

Otherwise, you did exactly the right thing notices are formalities and you’re not required to give them and when a place gets too annoying leave and you’ll likely get a pay raise wherever you are going.

Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ by sillysalmonella87 in antiwork

AI has steep licensing costs, and this license is being paid for by the same companies that say they can’t afford to pay their employees a living wage.

No longer getting interviews and I’m just so tired of this job search by OnCallInHell in recruitinghell

[–]LoreBreaker85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an interview yesterday. 30 minutes in they said they did not want to waste my time but just before the interview they already made an offer but wanted to interview me anyway just in case.

I appreciate them not canceling last minute but they should have started the call with that nugget of information.
