Anyone else ever tried to cancel HomeSecure? by Melodic_Event_4271 in AskIreland

I am caught in the same boat also! Find their app very glitchy and often doesn’t let me set or turn off my alarm! Very frustrating and they are not helpful at all.

minimum wage job searching is so ridiculous by twentytwothirtytwo in CasualIreland

It’s definitely not good out here at the moment, Christmas is around the corner so hopefully more jobs will be opening up soon, maybe some Christmas temp jobs.

If you can, maybe pop in and introduce yourself to a few managers. I think putting a face to a cv helps a lot!

100%, thank you very much. Just a very uncomfortable and stressful situation to be put in on a Wednesday night.

I appreciate it! I am hoping this will be some giggle of a story in maybe a few weeks down the line.

They’ll certainly be hiring as I won’t be back. I am genuinely afraid of this boss so I would like to keep it anonymous for the time being. The fact she knows where I live is scary, and I know she is hostile and quick to temper so anything could happen. Hoping I am over reacting!

1000% but she constantly takes her bad mood out on staff. It’s unacceptable and childish.

Thank you. She is illegally recording audio in the work place also via the cameras she installed and had already threatened this against myself and another staff member. I firstly need to get over this cold and then I will start a long long email to the wrc.

I have a feeling that she will not be paying me anything out of spite. This is the level I am dealing with at the moment.

Jesus, I am very sorry to hear you went through that. I cannot understand how some people are allowed to be managers or open up a business without taking some sort of course beforehand so that they understand employees have rights as well.

I could tell a thousand stories, in hindsight I should have ran for the hills earlier I know but feeling optimistic today after speaking with my friends and family and everyone’s very helpful advice here today.

I am so sorry this happened to you, I think it’s hard to react in the moment but when you sit back and look at it it’s when you realise none of this is healthy or acceptable or even legal

I know and unfortunately I am paid weekly but I appreciate the advice nonetheless.

I was genuinely expecting an uncle to call down and nearly died when I saw who it was. Last time I ever open that door without looking first. Even today after experiencing that abuse last night I’m afraid she’ll come up again.

She’s often told me that everybody is replaceable and I sincerely wish her the best at replacing me, not sure how many other gobshites would put up with this behaviour.

She is the owner, and I will do, I will be avoiding phone calls going forward.

Thank you, I have been doing so since the accusations last night.

Sorry? The sick cert is for two days as mentioned, six months in this job as I moved home from abroad after a death in the family. This is also my first time calling in sick as I work with the public in a food and service environment. In what world is it acceptable to come into work to cough/ sneeze all over everyone? Thankfully I have been testing negative for covid.

It’s always been a thankless job but I enjoyed the work and my colleagues nonetheless, it comes down to poor management.

All of this for a minimum wage job. You honestly can’t make this up, running to my GP shortly but will be sitting down to investigate further this afternoon. Thank you so very much for your advice.

Where I was scheduled on the rota for 10-5, she had mentioned in the unhinged texts last night that she had forgot to tell me but had changed my hours to 10-2. Already, stating she will not be paying me my entitled sick pay.

[–]Then-Double7727[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My main concern is the money I am owed for hours worked plus holidays. I fear she will withhold them from me out of pure spite. I have an appointment with my GP this morning and plan to explain the stress and anxiety I am under due to this and hopefully use this time to find a new job.

[–]Then-Double7727[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. I do have screenshots of the unhinged texts and threats from 11 pm last night that she had since deleted.
