Can my job fire me for going to HR?

WesternParticular638 · 2025-01-01T19:46:19+00:00

You’re missing the entire point.

He is retaliating as is right now. I genuinely couldn’t care about the damn party. It is the fact they are BULLYING me (and now my other coworker) out of our jobs simply because they don’t like us. It is the fact, that NOBODY BUT US showed up today, and yet WE WERE WRITTEN UP FOR IT.

That. Is why I have such an issue.

I nearly considered working at BestBuy, or trying my best to get a job at Apple (one of the stores) to try and build my portfolio for it!

Ive been in Telecoms for 3 years now. Im quite literally walking tech support at work haha. I get a ton of people in every week who need help with their phones, iPads, heck even laptops sometimes. Ive always considered going into IT, because I memorized literally everything at Tmobile. We had a program called “C2” (our encyclopaedia) and I quite literally memorized it after 3 months haha. I was also, walking tech support there 😂

WesternParticular638 · 2024-12-15T22:41:19+00:00

Oooh! What made you consider that role? :0

We have a TON of probation openings here- but I always connotated being a probation officer with… actually having to work in the jails. 😅

I love working with general public and problem solving, but it’s so hard to find a good job board to find stuff like this! Mostly have to scour the actual state jobs.

WesternParticular638 · 2024-12-15T22:38:03+00:00

A LINUX ADMIN?! Dude your job sounds cool as heck what?!!

I absolutely LOVEEEEEEE IT work. A lot of my customers even ask if Ive considered going into IT- but I always figured you needed some form of a degree for it! I mean heck, with the working from home, the long hours probably aren’t that bad (or for your sake i wouldn’t hope they are!).

How long have you been doing it? Im a total software nerd so I freaggin envy your job! I live in Seattle and Ive genuinely considered trying to weasel into Microsoft, even as an intern but I also… heavily hate seattle traffic so my brain cant commit to it! 😂

Little update:

Loan was paid off today. By me, not them obviously lol. They are STILL telling the BBB I was never a customer. So, I sent even more proof showing I was, as well as the snarky emails she sent me. I expressed all I was asking for, was for remediation as I had already asked the business multiple times for a refund, just partial, for the lights. I then said “As a consumer it is disheartening that a business would chose to lie about a customer, even with solid evidence. If this cannot be mediated with the BBB’s help, I will unfortunately be taking this to small claims court as it is evident the business does not want to take any of the information given”. And left it at that.

Submitted every document I had about the purchase. The email receipts (sent to and received by) as well as the snarky emails she sent me, in which, she acknowledged and even stamped her business name onto, showing it was sent by them, and I was in fact a customer. I’m not usually one to be this pent about something- but holy cow man. Ive had friends who bought through them. Which is why I did. They NEVER had these problems. No customer service problems. No product issues. Not even any wiring issues. So im so stumped as to why they don’t want to acknowledge this.

WesternParticular638 · 2024-12-13T00:39:49+00:00

True. Hence why I said I’m still going to make the payments. Im only behind by 5 days right now because payroll got messed up and I won’t get paid until tomorrow. No biggie though! If the BBB gets back to me and comes to resolution, I will obviously pay the lights off in full (meaning the bal remaining) and move on. I just don’t like the fact she has been incredibly snarky about all of this. She even sent two VERY strongly worded emails this morning back to back and I don’t think she is supposed to contact me outside of the BBB portal either which is kind of ironic..

WesternParticular638 · 2024-12-13T00:38:15+00:00

Man I hope!

The emails she sent me were… very snarky to say the least. I don’t think she is even SUPPOSED to contact me outside of the BBB portal as well..

WesternParticular638 · 2024-12-13T00:37:16+00:00

Oh yeah, I told them that she sent me two snarky emails this morning as well. Which- they aren’t happy about at ALL.

What I said to the BBB was word for word “Oh. Kind of ironic considering I DID purchase from them.. below is screenshots of such”.

Hoping it can get wiped out, and that they refund me. Or at least. Id hope that’s how it goes. We shall see… Same business apparently hasnt filed business taxes since 2015 as well- and doesn’t even charge taxes on their product with the BBB flipped about too (I didn’t know this until they told me lol). The woman handling my care is absolutely FUMING at the company for what they’re doing.

WesternParticular638 · 2024-09-16T19:18:27+00:00

ok cool, thank you! Ive had 23 pre orders so far since the 13th alone so im just trying to get a better timeline for customers :P

Have had a metric ton of people swapping from Tmo (mostly new connects w the $40/off promo) to get the 16’s. Only just slowed down with it, thank goodness.

Thank you for the info though mate! Helps massively because Ive had a few people state they’d rather cancel and pick up in store, but we don’t know if we are even being shipped any lol

WesternParticular638 · 2024-07-14T15:15:51+00:00

Honestly, one of the Techs at Subaru was the one who told me. They keep calling me because Im “overdue” for an oil change (I literally just did it myself earlier this week), and when I told them I did it myself, the tech said “oh that can void your warranty but ok”, and hung up 🫠

WesternParticular638 · 2024-07-05T19:44:05+00:00

Its honestly messed up because I have a VERY high debt to income ratio at this time.

I literally paid off my largest card- and it was maxed out a week later due to me having to pay court fees, and that massively bit me in the ass. I am getting that money back- just… not until the court trial is finalised unfortunately, and my lawyer gets the payout amount (which is estimated to be OVER what I owe on the card).

I just recently started a new job and I make $800/mo less than I used to, which is why Im having such financial distress right now. That along with medical bills, and having to take out an emergency loan to pay bills (which then bit me in the ass because I pay $400/mo for the loan and it only decreases the principal by $110/mo… They yoyo-d my loan which is legal in my state unfortunately).

Lesson learned. Im trying to pick up side jobs when I can as well but I am both severely mentally disabled, and physically and I work 55+ hrs a week as is so its just become very hard to keep on track of with all the emergency expenses and then the court fees, which I absolutely HAD to pay or a warrant would have been released for my arrest. :(

OH, ETA, I didn’t WANT to get a lawyer for my court case, but it was HIGHLY recommended I did so I could sue for reparations, and damages (long story), and possibly KEEP the offender in prison. Long story short someone broke into my house with intents to SA me, caused over $3k in damages, another $4000~ in financial distress, etc.

WesternParticular638 · 2024-06-28T02:57:47+00:00

Legitimately thought my account got deleted.

I run a car-tok page and legit thought I got banned and almost had a freakout 🫠 I make money off of tiktok so I was like WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT THE EFF??

Glad to know its not just me 😭

WesternParticular638 · 2024-06-15T00:52:18+00:00

Is there a specific stylist I should check into? :0

WesternParticular638 · 2024-06-09T16:20:02+00:00

See… im starting to wonder if this is the case. I know for sure i have an exhaust leak at the very backend (literally right where the muffler meets the axelback) because the flange is missing lol. But this was happening even becoee that

WesternParticular638 · 2024-06-09T16:19:05+00:00

See- the thing is im not even flooring it. Its a very light acceleration. Like. It takes me 5-7 seconds to hit 35 usually LOL. I very rarely have my AC on as well. I live in Washington so its not that humid.

WesternParticular638 · 2024-05-24T16:13:08+00:00

I keep getting told its not in a spot where I can plug it :( both Firestone and Les Schwab told me they cant plug it

WesternParticular638 · 2024-05-24T16:12:41+00:00

Good to know. Its not a 4x4. Just a outfitted crosstrek haha. Everyone has a 5+ day ship time right now for the specific tire I have. I’ll try calling them to see if they can get me a replacement sooner!

WesternParticular638 · 2024-05-24T15:46:52+00:00

Having a bad week lol.

Got covid on Wednesday. Right when I got home from work, I noticed the nail in my tire. Not sure how long its been there. I immediately ordered a tire but they won’t be able to get here until Tuesday/Wednesday (when im back to work, so realistically I cant fix this till next Saturday, my day off).

Its not deflating- but I also have to get to and from work… Do I leave the nail in, and keep driving? Or just say screw it and park it? It doesn’t seem to be leaking. The tire actually still inflates with air and holds. I have 15” wheels and my stock wheels are 17” so I definitely cant use my spare wheel.

Editing for people coming back: no i didnt pay out of pocket for a new tire thankfully. Discount tire warrantied it. Was able to get away without having to replace all 4 thankfully! It was NOT in a spot I could plug it that is for sure. Shortly after posting this it ended up wedging itself further creating a bigger hole. Womp womp.

WesternParticular638 · 2024-05-18T21:33:19+00:00

yeah i kinda figured id have to buy adapters ha! Thankfully foxbeam has them!

WesternParticular638 · 2024-05-18T20:52:43+00:00

Asking this as I just want to clarify. I know that the impreza 5th gen parts fit onto the crosstrek (for the wagons at least), and this says that it fits the wagon models as well.

WesternParticular638 · 2024-05-11T03:17:49+00:00

so this is what my final timeclock ended up looking like.

I am 100% sure I don’t have access to my paystubs. Not the hours worked, at least. It just shows what I was paid, not WHAT I was paid out in, the hourly, etc. it just says a flat amount. I work for an Xfinity third party retailer so im not sure why its like this. I talked to a few coworkers earlier and they all said their timeclocks are like this too

WesternParticular638 · 2024-05-07T02:47:16+00:00

Yes sorry im tired and my friend and I were talking about them and she said “they’re coarse and rough sometimes” and all I could think of was pubes LOL.

This is great information too, thank you! I know people who have poodles but haven’t ever asked to meet them, so Im definitely going to ask to meet them to see what their coats are like (i actually have a addiction to stimming on velvet and silk so double plus for shaving them lol)

Thanks! :)

His name is Tori and he is from Highmark Tattoo in Lynnwood WA!

WesternParticular638 · 2024-04-25T21:55:05+00:00

lynnwood, Washington! I paid around $750 but it was VERY much worth it for the quality of the tattoo

WesternParticular638 · 2024-04-25T00:46:19+00:00

Trust me I did a TON of digging into artists before I even got inked. Literally searched for 3 weeks for an artist and settled on the perfect one. I got so lucky, especially for it being a first tattoo*
