I need help!!!!
So last year Nov 2018 I applied to my first welding job since getting my certification earlier that year. They hired me but told me I wasn’t going to be welding I only was going to help build the company first, since it was just starting. Then I would start welding once the company is build. I agreed to the terms. My first day working was excellent no complaints but as weeks passed. I went from helping build the company to sweeping floors everyday which was hard. Yeah I know who would of thought sweeping would be hard. It’s a building with metal everywhere. So there’s a lot of dust. The manager would say to me a couple of times to stop “standing around and walking”. But who wants to sweep metal shards everyday, with no face mask When you said I would help build the company. It may seem easy but trust me it’s a big building. Whenever I finished sweeping they gave me another cleaning job to do. I’ve never seen anyone that was working there clean except for me. The manager went from being nice to being rude. He would yell at me at times. He was the second in charge and he just got the position. I guess he was abusing his authority. But it still doesn’t give you a right to talk to me in any kind of way. I felt like he was discriminating. No one was treated the way I was treated. Even the employees noticed how he talked to me. I need advice should I take this to court or just let it go?
Find another job, do not exchange your respect and dignity for a fistful of dollars.
Your attitude might sound ‘manly’ or honorable, but you don’t invest in a skilled trade education and then settle for cleaning toilets. He deserves respect, honesty and the job he signed on for. Not only that, if you don’t use skills you lose them. Bad, bad advice. I’m sure you’re a cool guy and hard worker and all, just bad advice.
Let it go quit being a botch your still getting paid ain't you?
what are you taking to court? Just speak with the HR supervisor but before you do that look for another job
Some nobs will start you out doing an array of nobs before you actually get to the job that you were hired for. This is an assessment or a test to see how much how much you are willing to do to keep the company going. Welding can be a dangerous job and a clean organized area. What you are going through could be a more detailed assessment to see just how much of a team player you are?
Jay-I am an HR professional and I will tell you that no one deserves to be yelled out and treated rudely. I would recommend that you consider some other options. Firstly, You could start to try to find another job-however, just be sure to state on the application to not contact your current employer. If your boss is acting out now, imagine what he may say to a probable employer. Secondly, you can always let your boss know that you don't appreciate being treated the way he's treating you, and call him on it-sometimes when people step up and say something, it helps them to respect you more. Lastly, I would inquire if there is an HR department to report this behavior. The company would rather resolve this internally then through legal outside measures. Just some ideas for you to consider - it definitely seems to me that you would be better off doing something different that being in your current situation. Good luck!
In that industry you have to earn peoples respect. Do a good job sweeping. Get you your own PPE, and buy your own tools. Do a good job and then ask for some more. I use to have a tough boss, and I would let him do his yelling and then he would go away. Most bosses who yell like that are usually firing somebody. I think you are lucky that you will hold your position regardless of a boss who communicates like that. I think a person with your qualifications might be interested with moving forward to the next job the company attains and getting more experience. Look like someone who wants a job, and maybe they will recommend you to their buddies.
Dont go to court, pray about it and tell God what you've been through and to help you and God will help you. Court is not a solution to your problem. The solution is to give your boss the ultimatum of what he promised or told you when you were hired and if he doesn't keep his promise then go and find another job. God only knows why your boss is this way, and God is the only one who can change him. Court is really all like politics, no justice. Pray. May God be with you and help you get a new job and put in your heart to forgive just like Jesus forgave us and leave the judging to God who is the only judge of each of us. I will be praying for you to do the right thing.
and get names who heard all of the abuse and what and how it was said. I know a lawyer if you want to talk to one for advice
Yes find another job and pursue your skills in welding and get more experience and do your own thing hope it works out for you brother
