I filed over a month ago, and it still says its under review why it was or unemployin tn #resources #jobsearch #coronavirus #benefits #resignation

I tried to get unemployment after having sadly to resign from the employer I was with. Note that it was due to serious legal issues. I had to report the employer to the state after many months of trying to have a change made. It involved the life of a precious child that was my patient. I was denied due to the fact I had quit the job. But I had no choice. I did what I am legally required to do under the oath I took and under the law. How is that grounds for denial? I filed an appeal almost a month ago. No response with an appeal date still. Lost my transportation, almost 40lbs, and my ability to have faith in the system at this point.

I know my situation is just like so many at this time. Its so sad to see so many losing homes, careers, the means to provide for those dependent upon them/us.

I have found new employment and was hired 9/16. Unfortunately they have not proven to be on their a-game thus far and the onboarding process has just wrapped up as of 11/01. After my 1st full shift I ended up in the hospital for 4days. This company is now making me feel like they can't depend on or trust in me and I don't know if or when they will put me back to work. Not to mention they just so happened to not submit my time for payroll so I am fighting to receive my pay from them and still maintain a positive professional relationship with them to keep employment.

What can be done? I am at a loss. I am scared. #benefits #advice #resignation #jobsearch

I just put my resignation in. I work for this company for over 10 years. This job was not only hostile but toxic. How do you say something that will not cause problems with other interviews?

I transferred stores and district to gain more hours.( I desperately needed that I was a single mom of 3). I loved working there. Loved my customers and co-workers only problem was the actual store manager didn't want to do her job. I felt like regardless who did it it had to get done so I worked and worked . I worked 70+ hours a week opening to close just about every single day with no days off. I working thru my lunch break everyday. Showing up to start stalking shelf's and unloading frieght at 6 am at least 3 days aweek and was told I could not clock in for it. I was checking in the truck even thought I should not have been but my manager was never there to do so, so she just gave me the back door key to handle all of that for her. As I worked 70+ hours a week, she was only working 32 hours a week I tried talking to the district manager about it and I was threatened to be wrote up 2 times for working on my lunch break then not working through my lunch break as well as not getting enough stock out. The manager just happen to forget to schedule anyone to come in to be a cashier she didn't show either this was on one of those days when I came in at 6am and worked a open to close the day before. Soi did the best I could and when I tried talking to her the following day it didn't go well so I quit.

Voluntary was not the case. 3 strikes by HR so I thought rhat guaranteed I would get my unemployment. This is not California where workers actually have rights. If idaho pays when Employer terminates with no cause then why do I have to go without because in my mind i had justification to auit? #unemployment

A topic that hasn't been discussed much here in the forum is how and when to leave a job appropriately, especially when you are a new hire going through training. Often during an interview, it's nearly impossible to ascertain whether the job you've applied for is the right "fit".

Now when we talk about "fit" in terms of workplace culture we're referring to the climate of the work site. Do you get along with your co-workers. Do you like the energy of the place? After all, you may spend a year or 20 years there so it should be somewhere you can be comfortable.

After you go through training and/or shadowing, you'll begin to integrate in to your new environment.

Here are some things to think about moving forward.

1.) Do the employees seem happy there? If everyone is doom and gloom most of the time, there's a definite reason. You will likely find out that reason sooner, rather than later.

2.) Does management listen to staff and seem to care about their employees? Is this worksite a culture of democracy or autocracy?

3.) Listen and Learn. Employees will share the culture of the work environment with you. All you need to do is pay attention and respond accordingly.

4.) How helpful has the organization been in terms of accommodating your requests and making you feel welcome?

5.) Pay attention to red flags! If something feels wrong or amiss, then it probably is. Always trust your first instincts because they are typically spot-on.

"When someone tells you who they are, believe them."

There's nothing wrong with leaving a job too early, but don't regret leaving a job too late.

Make decisions out of confidence, not out of fear.

So this company that I applied for that was like a dream job for me called to set up an interview since they really wanted me for their position.

Unfortunately, I am currently employed and would have to give a two weeks notice no matter how quickly they offer me the job and when they want me to start.

The interview went well with their HR department and told me the manager of the facility wants to meet me in person for a second interview, I end up meeting with the manager but the bad news hit when he said that he really needs someone to fill the position right away and really wants me to join their team. He was understanding that I would have to put in my two weeks notice no matter what and wouldn't want me to abruptly quit that job. Sadly he told me they just hired someone for that position and would call me if they had another opening.

I'm kind of torn because I really wanted this position because of the pay and they offer benefits but because we have to do the two weeks notice procedure just so we don't "burn bridges" with the current employer and they don't use it against us for future employees is just the way society is.

Have any of you experience that? Having this job position which would be like a dream job want to offer you a position but they say that they need you right away but can't start until two weeks so you end up not getting the position?

I know that job hunting is a time consuming, mood sucking experience so I wanted to post this story and hopefully make you guys laugh a little.

Before I got the job I have now, I worked at a horrible place with a terrible "supervisor" and "manager". I was overqualified for the job but needed the income and the best thing about it was that it was 2 miles from where I lived so I wasn't spending much on gas. I was actually more qualified for the supervisor position and I think that became the source of the animosity.

It actually started out pretty good but at some point their attitudes changed about me and they started nit-picking everything I did. For example, one day I walked into our area and was told that one of the other girls had called in. The supervisor acted like she was angry at me that the girl called in! I asked what she needed me to do to help (we all had duties in the morning to get the workers on the floor the paperwork they needed for the day), but the supervisor never answered so I get busy with my own stuff. A few minutes later, this supervisor goes and gets this stack of papers and throws them on a table and tells me to "do those". She's real hateful and real proud of herself because I see her smirk about it and then the floor supervisor tells me she was telling people about what she had done. I think at this time, I had interviewed for the job I have now but hadn't received an official offer so I'm doing my best to keep my composure.

Fast forward to when I finally give my two weeks notice. This supervisor is saying how now she and I can go out for drinks because now we will be colleagues and not supervisor/subordinate and how she thinks I will be fun to go out and drink with because she loves my humor.

I look at her and say, "I can assure you that I will never be that thirsty". I loved the stunned look on her face and the others in the office were doing their best to hold in their laughter.

She actually sent me a friend request on Facebook recently- which I declined. I mean, I just don't get how she figures I would ever want her in my life again!

So, since my last post, I've left my first shift job at Wornick. It left me physically drained. I still work my second shift job at pizza hut as a driver. But that's gonna come to end soon. I'm still in school for audio engineering. I have about one month left there and two before graduation. On top of that, I'm going through a divorce after only three years. It hurts but I'm managing. Life is rough for me right now but I'm only hoping for the best. So for anybody that in a similar situation, don't give up. Put your focus on what you want to do.
