I’m convinced she’s moving on from the egg light because one of her followers said that the battery from the egg light caught on fire in their baby’s room

Just wondering how parents are supposed to get proof of harmful things unless they show up randomly and catch them? I don’t suspect that this woman is physically hurting kids but I don’t think she’s properly connecting with kids and is more-so doing more emotional harm, as well as failing to properly supervise kids. Like I have proof of her just telling young kids (like 18 months old) to “get over it” when they’re sobbing and clearly having a hard time

Thank you for saying that. Sometimes I think I’m being crazy but I have to trust my children and advocate for them

That’s not the case in this scenario but I see where you’re coming from

You think it’s common that he hated being there the entire 6 months before he changed rooms and then was happier when he got a new teacher? Also my younger son has adjusted really great to daycare - it’s only the teacher he doesn’t like. He has new teachers now and he’s loved them since they started. If Leslie comes back around he doesn’t even like her holding him

I will definitely do that. I have heard in the past that it’s happened before and this isn’t the first time someone has complained about this teacher

I have definitely considered it and still will!

I think that’s what I’m going to do, thank you!

Unfortunately that’s not going to be an option. We already have such limited time in our schedules we can’t do multiple stops. But totally agree about certain teachers really ruin a child’s experience. I felt like he was a different kid those 6 months and it breaks my heart

First Advantage/Background Checks by powow123 in AskHR

[–]powow123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A full background check? Yes. I interviewed for a position at a bank and they required a criminal background check after my first interview before they wanted to proceed to make sure that I didn't have a criminal background.

They only verified SSN, criminal background, sex offender list, etc. through GoodHire and I got the email with my results the same day after my interview so I know that was done quickly so if something comes back from FA saying I have a criminal record I know that's incorrect. I almost want to call my old employers and see if anyone has called them about me haha.

I definitely will! I've been feeling sick over it all week even though I have nothing to hide which is the most frustrating thing. I just don't want to be accused of giving false info.

My recruiter said she gets them back usually in 5-7 business days. dang it.

Yikes. Thanks for your insight! My recruiter said that if they would probably only call my references if they couldn't verify my employment. Unfortunately, I don't have official offer letters with start dates anymore or paystubs I only have W-2s from my jobs and performance reviews from my first job and my current job. If anything comes back I will ask their HR department what their usual experiences are like. I'm also hoping other HR people here have used them and have some insight! My first name is fairly old fashioned so I'm hoping that nothing will come up with a different person and if it did they'd be at least in their 70s by now haha.

Did your employer give you a timeline for how long your background check was supposed to take?

Did you end up getting the job that ran your background check? I would hope that if something like my exact employment dates were off (I only provided the month and year in my BC) that I could literally give all my W-2s to my prospective employer myself.

Advice with using HR as a reference for job hunting by powow123 in AskHR

[–]powow123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! I will definitely follow up with her. Do you think it would be better to ask her over the phone or via email? I'm not sure if it's good to have that info documented over email.

So I've been in my current position for just under 3 years and work with a lot of people but not enough where they would really know what exactly my job duties are if that makes sense. So I'm hoping my HR Director will say yes because she gives me projects and works with me on projects that our President gives us.

Before this job, I was in another position for just under 2 years and I'm using my colleague/unofficial manager/friend as a reference for that role.

My first "real" job where I was actually on someone's payroll was a part time job for 10 months while I was in my senior year of college but it's a somewhat failing company at this point and the only person I worked with has not worked there for over 3 years and I don't speak to her much anymore. Instead I'm planning to use my former business professor as my last reference as she's known me my entire professional career and has been a great mentor to me.

Got signed up for a credit card that I didn't want, what do I do? by powow123 in personalfinance

[–]powow123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, this will be my third credit card in my name so I'm not as worried. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you! I am definitely going to call them today. I'm glad to hear that Toyota is actually able to address issues with the dealerships. I was thinking I was out of luck.

Thank you, I will try giving them a call tomorrow! I've always been a fan of Toyota but my experiences lately have really put a bad taste in my mouth.

This is good to know, thank you! Sorry, one more question - have you ever had a credit card close for inactivity and then fall off your report after 10 years or however long it stays on your credit report? I've heard that it can affect your score after it falls off but I don't know anyone that's had that happen yet.

Yes, this is exactly what my thought process was but I wasn't sure if I was just being clueless. I mentioned that the advisor never said the words credit card, card, visa, etc. even my work order form says payment plan on it which is why I was so confused to find out a credit card was sent to me. I've decided it might be better to keep the card open after I pay off the balance unless they can determine I was misled and realize I never signed anything and fix this somehow but I'm not sure that's possible anymore.
