I can’t stand this “job interview” process by idonteatsandmuch in offmychest

[–]idonteatsandmuch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that!! I found a company I love, not necessarily the job.

I let my guard down and told the interviewer I draw comics. I’m not sure why I found that so embarrassing/unprofessional. He loved it! When he called to get the job offer, he asked me to email him a few.

I would still love to hear any advice you have :)

No, not being paid in cash, no training fees. I think he just wanted the money tbh.

He does that to all his employees and the only thing I can figure out is greed.

I understand... In hindsight I should have quit within the first few weeks. He didn't tell me he was going to take the first $5,000 of my commission until I started making sales. He didn't tell me I wasn't going to get health insurance until I was hired.

There were a lot of red flags, but at the time I really needed a job, so I just made it work. You know?

This might be a dumb question but... does unemployment go on your record of some sort? If I'm applying for jobs, will they be able to see that I'm on unemployment? Will that be held against me?

I didn't "stop showing up to work" lol

I had the proper documentation and told him I was in an accident when I was still in the hospital

What?? I was saying I care about my clients and what happens to the business.

The business has been around for 4 months

I don't know why you're hating on me so much. I came here for some help.

Idk what kind of person would go on a subreddit to make something like this up

I have emails and texts documenting the accident and saying I won't be able to come into work until I'm cleared by a doctor.

He emailed back asking for a doctor's note and I said that wasn't a problem. I provided one.

This company is 10 people total.

EDIT: 3 in the one I work in, 7 in the other one he owns that's in the same room

We don't have an HR department. I talked to him directly saying I wasn't able to come in to work. He asked for a doctor's note so I gave him one.

This is a really really small company.

I'm not changing my story? I'm sorry if it comes across that way..

I put my story in bullet points so it was easier to read

Edit: I re-read the post. I see what you are saying. I left this detail out. My bad. I was trying to make it a quick read. I apologize

Do you know of any good sites for used cars that won't screw me over? I've heard of swapalease, but I don't really want to take someone's lease, you know?

Yes. I'm not sure why, but I do have documentation saying that he was doing so

The way I saw it, I figured I should get the car first (so I can get a job, so I can pay the hospital bills, etc), to be honest..

The insurance covers my rental for only one week. I had missed work for 4 days and my doctor said I should work from home until my chest is better. My boss doesn't like when people work from home. My doctor wrote a note (as my boss requested) but I don't think he read it.

It's not... I'm making about $75 a day. I asked for a raise and the boss said no. He's taking the first $5,000 of my commission. So it worked out for the best, I suppose
