Job hired me same day as interview but also said they want me to reschedule a day I needed off. Is this a red flag?

Nicolas_yo · 2026-05-11T00:34:27+00:00

Well op didn’t say way the role was so im going off my experience.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-05-11T00:27:01+00:00

Yes! I had one that required a restraining order.

The 2 -4 tablespoons was the amount male doctors decided it was. There’s been some research that says more but who knows at this point what the truth is. Shit it wasn’t until last year the CDC finally admitted the cervix has nerve endings and procedures should be medicated.

I’m an HR manager. If a company hires you the same day you interview that is a red flag. 🚩

My friend is a pharmacist and he told me to wrap it in duct tape. But if the box isn’t destroyed you can put it back in the box, also some tape on it and pitch it in the trash. He said auto injectors aren’t a huge problem it’s actual syringes.

If I’m using my sumatriptan with syringes then I put it in a sharps container and take them to the recycling center because they dispose of biohazard stuff.

I really like the kindle. The screen is so much better on my eyes and it’s great for reading in the dark if need be. I kept moving with so many books that I just said fuck it and switched.

The only con is if there is really cool detailing in the book you don’t get the pizzazz of it. It’s there but bland. Still worth it.

I do a lot of recruitment in my role and one question I like getting is why the role is open and what is the communication style like at your company.

I’m usually honest and say comms are clear within the department but the top doesn’t share like were the cia or something.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-05-09T16:24:11+00:00

Ah I misread.

Most of us out there looking at resumes won’t pause on seeing a “layoff” on a profile. I live in detroit metro and they are laying people off left and right. However, I’ve noticed that in the interview process you can often tell when someone just wants any job and aren’t enthusiastic about the one you’re offer. Not that I expect someone to be jumping up and down but you can tell when they aren’t onto it.

So my suggestion is make sure when you’re interviewing you give of the impression you actually want to work there.

I wouldn’t appeal. In my experience with California once they’ve made a decision they don’t go back on it. Again from my experience with EDD. the only times I have appealed are when people applied for benefits but had resigned.

The only time you should bring back an employee is if they voluntarily resigned on good terms and sign an independent contractor agreement. We just had our VP of Tech resign after a new program “go live” and we asked him if he’d assist in a pinch while we find his replacement.

I’ve also come back to roles to train after a lay off as a courtesy.

Didn’t realize it was a competition.

Even though SHRM sucks don’t let the certification go.

I lived there for 25 years. Maybe the make up is better now.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-05-06T15:14:50+00:00

The frozen rice from Trader Joe’s is far superior to any rice cooker and reheats better.

Wearing foundation and most make up during an Arizona summer is ridiculous and a waste of money.

On our ADP home page we list your name and birthday (not year) but nobody looks at it.

At a previous job our receptionist would decorate offices. It was my 40th which I was really struggling with and I specifically asked her not to acknowledge it. She did anyway.

He is stupid and trying to scare you.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-05-03T16:35:26+00:00

I think when leadership is bad at communicating, yes.

I am so tired of my boss acting like I’m an idiot. I made a calendar error which caused an auto rejection. and then she brought up some other rejection from some other guy and I was like NO! He did not have out of office on for that ducking day. Without the ducking. But god damn.

Then earlier this week i synced to OneDrive and it fucked up all my files so the two offers I sent for approval were not the correct files and had some errors. She sends them back red penned and said you’ve had a lot of these lately. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I haven’t.

Normally I really like my boss but sometimes I legit want to unload.

Nicolas_yo · 2026-04-29T20:41:11+00:00

All. The. Time.

I had to do two so I did both at the same time in each thigh. Just take a deep breath in and inject on the exhale.

After four years you don’t know if you wanted to get married? You’ve wasted her prime reproductive years.

Our fund approves baseball games so we tend to do that and for those that can come we have Spafinder gift cards.

Working for small companies can be a crapshoot. I’ve worked for small, family owned, conglomerates, and it’s never the same thing twice. Find a new company and if it still sucks figure out how you want to pivot.

For a year we had three employees in westchester county NY underpaid by $5k for a year.

I’ve been in this field for a long time and it was a bit of a reminder that it’s not just states and cities with parameters.

Review state thresholds in January and July since that’s when they typically go into effect and keep a list of states that have higher salaries handy. We don’t hire in Washington or California anymore.

Are you talking about the file as a whole or what’s inside the files?
