I went on company's business and no one to do my job. I was No Show then given option to retire . I retired now having a hard time getting job and explaining to Prospective employers reason for leaving. I got interviewed on the 16th of Sep for Appointment setter job, when the Interviewer asked me"Where do I see myself in the next 3 years, I did not even stop to think, I blurted out Doing my own business" He gave me a stare and then I knew I would not be hired. My husband and I are considering doing our own business, and truly that was on my mind the whole time.It just came out subconsciously but Lord knows IT WAS THE TRUTH.. LOL Tired of being used and abused in a cube.Comments ..more info could make a great read writing a book email candcmarketing(at)yahoo.com

I worked for this Company for 1 day back in Jan of 2018. I had to pay my own way from FL to MA and then pay for my Lodging for the 4 months training. Well on the very first day of training, I had to resign due to My Life Partner being very ill. So, I had to fly back to FL. I was told from the Recruiter I could reapply after 6 months. Well here it is Sept 2019 and I have reapplied many times and was Told by a HR Woman this, "We Paid for your Flights and your Lodging and after 2 weeks you walked off the job, so we will Never look at you again". They out and out lied, because I paid for my own flights and my own lodging and was only there one day. The HR Woman would not even tell me how this information was put in my file at this company. I really wanted to go to work for them and I am so Hurt from them now. They didn't treat me right, but I guess companies can lie about someone if they don't want you to work for them.

Last night I found out a favorite relative of mine passed away. But instead of calling into work, I go in with my relative’s obituary. First I’m promised to be given an answer about getting time off by 1130 am. First lie. I don’t get an answer until 20 minutes before my shift is over. An obituary isn’t enough anymore, not even with the name and phone number of the person who runs the funeral home. I now have to have a pamphlet from the funeral. Except I’m unable to go to the funeral for I can’t afford a plane ticket.

To make things even worse, an incredibly creeper customer comes in and even though my wedding ring is an easy spot on my finger, he continually hits on me. While my coworkers find it hilarious, and doing nothing to help me. The last straw was when the customer told me to get on my knees, so he can whip it out. I couldn’t take it anymore and went to management about him. He was escorted out and people were telling me he’ll be banned from coming back. Second lie. He’s allowed to come back for he was given ‘counseling’. Even though when I brought a manager over he threatened to rape me, like he did to another girl and got nine months in prison.

This is the second sexual harassment complaint I’ve gone to management about. But nothing is getting done. I want to put my two weeks in, but my husband and I need to both be working right now, but I’m afraid I get one more nasty customer I’ll lose it and quit.

Do I take my chances and go jobless for awhile, or do I suck it up and stay till I get something else?

I started working for Safeway July 30 I worked a total of one week and then had to change my shift because I was just diagnosed with cancer. My regional manager refuse to call me for a month after I went in three times politely asking for a shift and then called 12 times being hung up on five and then being told that the manager was unavailable the other half of the time . I eventually had to quit my job and start looking for another one. Mind you the only thing I told them is that I had severe health issues that required more time during the night for me to sleep because of the medication that I am going to be taking. When I had gone in to quit my job I had two checks waiting for me no one had I told me when I was going to be paid, no one had been concerned enough with being under staffed, and that when I actually quit he handed me my checks and literally walked away no thank you for working with us no I apologize for your problems that you had while you were working here and I worked Technically for this company for a total of 2 1/2 months. During that time the conditions of the store were horrible I worked making donuts and I could literally smell the mold from the kitchen & it was making me sick. employment safety was at an all time low, And the standards for the store excuse my language but complete utter bullshit. Other employees were constantly complaining about problems & the manager just didn’t give an absolute flying fuck.

Drama is thick inside there. If your the type who speaks out against wrong doings, and unsafe work habits, they will conspire against you. They meaning the people Henry has put in charge. They play a very racial,and dirty game out there.

I recently retired after decades of retail management where I was responsible for hiring associates for my stores. If there was one piece of advice I would give any potential job seeker looking for a new position it would be "Never quit your current job before receiving a formal, preferably in writing offer from your new employer" There are several reasons for this. 1) Hiring managers receive more responses to a job opening than they can ever consider. This means that in many cases, regardless of your experience you will not get a response or you will get an auto-generated email telling you the job is filled. Job sites share openings and many times these shared postings remain up long after the job's been filled.2) Any period of unemployment is viewed badly by potential employers. The longer you are without a job, the harder it will be to explain away the interruption. 3) There will always be exceptions, but be realistic when considering a change. The grass isn't greener. The BS is not absent, just different. Make sure you are willing and able weather no paycheck if you choose to quit. Do not be impulsive, think it out. 4) Do not quit without notice or before you have a formal offer in writing. Know your start date and salary. Ask any questions and address any concerns before accepting the new job. No legitimate employer will avoid these important issues.5) If a background check or drug test is required make sure you are clear on both before giving notice. Be honest with yourself. I've had applicants fail background checks who knew they had DUI or other records that would show up. They hoped it would be missed, but it isn't. There can also be errors that can take months to iron out. If you've left your old job, you're in big trouble. Also any false positives on drug tests can be addressed, but it takes time. Time you'll spend without a paycheck. I don't recommend contingency hires, if something shows up they can let you go and you'll be unemployed. There's always good reasons to look for a better job. Just be sure to do it smart and don't impulsively quit without backup. It can be financially disasterous.

I took a job at an optometrist office a couple years ago and was the only male employee. I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn some new skills and I enjoy working with the public overall. Within two months it turned into a nightmare. One of the girls Facebook stalked me and found out that I had several gay friends and that one is HIV+. She proceeded to tell everyone in the office that I was gay and I myself was HIV+, neither of which is true. I went to the business manager and the doctor to file a formal complaint which fell on deaf ears, she was not disciplined nor fired. After another few weeks of basically being ignored and treated like I didn’t exist I quit.

Hey. I have recently started a new job. I work 8 hour shifts with no break. I get degraded at work constantly. I want to quit but I also feel bad for leaving them understaffed. What would y’all do in this situation?

I work in a smaller establishment where our front of the house manager also serves and bartends Also She scheduled herself the best shifts as well as all the private events recently she got a DUI and was a no-call no-show. The staff covered for her knowing she was in jail should I let our boss know what happened and if she's not reprimanded like others have been in the past and even fired should I quit

I started a new job as a helper on a Montana grain harvest. The owners of the grain, land, and equipment are my immediate supervisors. I was told of this job by an acquaintance. I went to the job site and was put straight to work. I thought that before actually starting a job the newly hired person fills out a bunch of paperwork. None was presented to me on my first or second or 3rd day out there. On my fourth and final day I was ignored when I asked for my new hire paperwork. Heretofore on other jobs I had to give a name address, fill out IRS Form W-4 witholdings, something to the child support which I am liable to. I would be driving trucks on public roadways on a daily basis so I'm sure an employer would wish to verify if I had a drivers license or not. I learned that this employer doesn't check to see whether any of his new hires even has a valid drivers license or not. The guy who got me on out there has a revoked drivers license for a DUI. He further told me these guys don't care if he doesn't have a drivers license. He still has a job and he showed me a paycheck that he was given for his last 2 weeks.
There is the Montana New Hire Reporting system where the employer must enter our wage and hour info that goes to the child support enforcement division. I am receiving Social Security Disability Insurance for a bipolar disorder where my daughter gets benefits on an auxilliary plan. I would be liable for part of my wages but none of the child support report forms were not presented to me. My buddy owes back child support but by the employer ignoring obligations my buddy gets out of paying his child support obligation as well. A person has to usually fill out a form stating they are legal to work in the USA. I was not presented with any of that paperwork either. I wasn't even asked what my last name is during the 4 days I was out there. At the beginning of my last day out there (day 4) I asked the supervisor when I was going to fill out my new hire paperwork. He avoided the question as he gave an instruction to do something or whatever. This supervisor began verbally abusing me in an increasing manner as the day went on. I began feeling really stressed with my disability I became unable to do my work. The supervisors behavior was a complete turnabout of his prior civil behavior. Twice he seemed to try to impede me as I was doing my work. At one time I stiff armed him back as he was moving to block my path to a duty I was going to perform.. I finally was left alone and I made a minor mistake which shut the operation down for a time. I was so upset I was unable to do my job. The verbal abuse and blocking me from trying to do my job continued. At nearly the days end my supervisor pulled more subtle shit. As we was going to our vehicles to go on home he walked up to my truck stating it was the nicest truck out there of all the other workers. Earlier that very day he was talking about having our personal vehicles in a spot away from machinery so there would be no accidents. I didn't get any sleep that night and I advised the owner by text message that I would not be going to work that day. I haven't been back since. I got in touch with the state department of labor and industry and they sent a form to fill out that doesn't even contain space to provide such a complaint. I haven't been paid for the 4 days I worked. It would be hearsay if I tried to say I was working out there unless I could get co-operation from the friend who got me on out there.
