It’s been a little over 3 months since leaving my previous employer. I left for various reasons, primarily because I refuse to work in a verbally abusive atmosphere where I had been threatened and accosted by another coworker (for which there was no recourse because HR was non existent). I have submitted applications EVERY single day and not gotten a single response. Not even an automated email saying they’ve decided to move forward with other candidates. I’m beginning to get very angry. I am divorced, I have a 5 year old son, I don’t collect child support, and while my fiancé works his butt off, our bills are still piling up and it feels like we’re drowning. I WANT to work. I am more than qualified. And not once in the last 10 years have I ever been denied a job, let alone not even interviewed. I’ve seen similar scenarios posted here and I’m wondering how everyone else processes this...how they don’t want to scream at the top of their lungs every day..

I went on an interview last week expense paid across the country last Monday. I was suppose to hear back from the hiring manager last Friday,and reaffirmed this in an offer letter last Tuesday morning. I did not hear anything and on Monday I asked the HR Manager this week on Tuesday in the diplomatic way what the status was on an offer, or still deciding? I discovered the HR manager that shared with me she was fired. I learned this yesterday and she sent a message to the hiring manager to follow up with me. In the meantime, I feel like I am walking on eggshells with my current role. What should I do? Should I contact the hiring manager tomorrow? If so, what should I say? I do need other expense compensated.as well. I find this whole situation unusual. .

After working for a company for 11 years, being told you are one of there most valuable employees, always goes above and beyond and to find out that people coming in and being there for 1 to 2 years maybe last makes more then year and even as of today still you are the most lowest paid employee. When brought to previous boss, recent boss, and VP was told my weak points are I don't reach out often, but never once mentioned this to me in any of my reviews. Reviews were always exceed expectations, no goals and when I did reach goals still finding more excuses to not compensate me well. I was even when I approached appropriate people that if I was happy find a new job. This came from someone who handles employee relations. Always introduced as the most knowledgeable employee with most experience on team and to always come to for guidance. How do you even think that this is ok?? I have been looking for a job for well over 2 years now, and going on interviews and still have not found a good job. I have an Associates Degree, no gap in work history, been at same job now going on 11 years, Manager for 7 years PT while working my full-time and still no hope in finding a better job. I pray everyday god bless me with a better opportunity because the pay is so low for me to take care 3 kids with one kid just graduating sometimes i feel like giving up. This can't be life when employers don't want to hire good quality workers. I have even paid hundreds of dollars to get my resume professionally done and still no job yet.

I applied at this hospital 31 times and have not gotten one of the position that i applied for. I know I am qualified for everyone of them i put in for maybe over qualified. but what really frustrate me the most they do not even have the courtesy to let me know why I was not chosen for the job. I even went to there job fair and I was told I had the qualification they was looking for and someone would be calling me and I still have not heard nothing. I went to there HR all they told me was the position I put in for was filled but the other one i put in for was still open. gave me the number of the director to call her I call her three days in a row she never called me back. What kind of courtesy is that. Just asking.

I was recently hired by a company for an "entry level" position. After I was waiting for them to send me the drug test info, which they never sent and I was told I could start working even if we had to wait for the drug test and the background check to go through. I showed up on the first day, and I was told I could not start working until the drug test, they somehow forgot to even email me...  and not even just print out for me on site, was required to be taken and processed before I could start working. I still didn't get the drug test form from the clinic. 

I emailed the HR person, who was supposed to email the drug test. They emailed me and told me that the manager spoke with the other manager, and they decided to hire someone else with more experience, even though I was already hired and it was an entry level position where both of the aforementioned managers agreed I could learn my way through things. 

 I'm seeking legal aid to help me sue them, because I was officially hired, and I think if I can get fined for speeding at 10mph over the speed limit, then it's only fair that a potential employer should be fined if they hire you and unhire you or "terminate you" for no actual reason except for their desire to hire someone with more experience. I'm wondering if anyone has experience the same thing. It just strikes me as wrong. I stopped applying for other jobs, and it took me months to find a job like this one, even though my experience, CV, and education realistically should land me a job that pays much higher than this, and I don't say that egotistically. 

I've been "poked at" as being over-qualified for many jobs I've applied for and "was told" I was highly considered in a pool of applicants for other jobs when I wasn't even interviewed. Most HR people and a lot of hiring managers are a bunch of pencil pushing idiots who neither don't know what real work is, nor do most of them have the ability to evaluate how competent and capable actual applicants are to do their jobs. 

But when I get unhired for a job, it not only has made me turn my focus away from my opinions on the job hiring process, which I think is very valid given the hundreds of applications and denials I've received. In other words, I think my opinion is very validated when I have observed and witnessed the kind of crap that hiring managers and HR people can get away with. Getting unhired is unreal to me. It's not just the audacity for that potential employer that unhired me, but it's the idea that their may not be any legal grounds for me to pursue. I had a plan financially with this company and a long term commitment, and for them to destroy that seem ultimately immoral and unjust to me.

I went on an interview on Thursday. The HR person ask me to copy the job application and bring it when I met with her. Ok done,on time. She came out called me by the wrong name. Once in her office another person took part in the interview. They both complained about all the people they interviewed. I had completed my company research. I ask them a standard question which took them both minutes to answer. I thought it was simply a waste of my time.

I have traveled like 30 to 35 one way twice, been given a day even two or 3 "start dates", a pay card and no work, lots of excuses; we're slow, start next month, next month, you don't have a car (transportation had already been discussed). In the meantime they are hiring employees who walk off the job! 8 to 10 people, me they won't give a chance. What's that about? Lol do you think the H.R. people might be disgruntled employees?

I started as a temp worker in 2016 and got hired on full time with the company that I was placed at in November 2017 I filled out the paperwork for insurance turned it in and when I never received my health insurance cards I asked my blue hat about it and he told me to ask the HR office about it I was told that they were waiting for me to turn it in I the female in charge that I gave it to that female so she went and asked her about my paperwork then comes back and tells me that I didn't give her any paperwork. So asked now what she tells me that I have to wait till next year to reapply for insurance. So filed taxes for 2018 and was told good news and bad news bad news I'm getting fined $675 for no health insurance. I called the labor division and told them what happened and I was told to talk to the IRS about it so I attempted to but couldn't get a hold of a human being since now a days you have to listen to an automated message. Any suggestions on what to do or who to talk to??

Human magnet and professional tetriser of life

I was at a job that I was doing pretty well at up until the point where I caught the flu and was hospitalized due to complications from the flu. I was told that I could not lose my job for being sick. Upon my arrival back to work, they had put my FMLA papers through but by this time I had no more sick time or personal time left to take off because I was hospitalized for a month. I still haven't fully recovered, so I did what I felt was the right thing and I put in my two weeks notice so that I could take the time I needed to fully recover. It has been a year since I left this job, on good terms mind you, and I have been having a hard time finding work since my recovery. I recently reached out to HR at my old job, see that I left there on good terms. They are hiring like crazy right now and all over all of the online Career sites looking for applicants. I asked if I could come back, Not only was I blown off for about a week, I was denied rehire due to my attendance at work when the time that I had missed was clearly due to me being sick and hospitalized! At this point I'm so discouraged I just want to give up.
