“Have you ever been discouraged from completing a job application because it felt too lengthy or time-consuming? If so, what part of the process made you feel that way?”

This meme made me chuckle because my current employer’s application took me two hours to complete. I literally had to make a day out of it so I could concentrate solely on the application. It was definitely worth it at the end of the day.

Wrongful termination

A coworker didn't like me. We're both cashiers. She's younger than me. She was rude, disrespectful, and made my job uneasy. A meeting with both of us was had with the store managers. It didn't help. Another situation happened. I went back to try to discuss with the store managers. I was fired the next day. A week before my probation period was up, which I think they did on purpose. She is still has her job. They gave HR the reason for the termination is that my performances was poor. They didn't mention the situation with the coworker. She's the one with the issue with me. I was fired, she wasn't.

I recommend reaching out to employment law firms specializing in wrongful termination cases in Plantation, FL, and Dallas, TX. Some options to consider are The Ticktin Law Group in Florida and the Leichter Law Firm in Texas. Additionally, you can explore legal resources on Jobcase and other job search providers for more options tailored to your specific needs. Good luck with your case!

HR giving bad reference

I don't know why your job would they give bad reference but in my work experience I know it happens come to my office for all types of unnecessary reason and untrue reason but all I ends up with they (Employers) didn't want you to go and others ( Employees)having negative input on you when you was there Even though there wasn't any negative thing to say all it take is one to start the conversation and others co-signed to it some could be just coming on board don't even know anything about you 😔💔🙏 #termination

Registration Clerk at Sp Mercy General Hospital

The person is motivated to do a great job and impress people, when one account given to the person turns sour after just two days. Then the person is back pedaling, trying to keep the account happy but really trying to save face And the energy spent to do this is exhausting. Then the person loses focus and everything unravels. "Sorry Son, but nice try."

It happens all the time. Someone misrepresented themselves, set unrealistic expectations, screwed up the first day of work (often a stressful time), or were simply a victim of bad luck. Usually there is nothing you can do but move on. In rare instances you may have a case, but only if it was clearly discrimination or other illegal activity.

Getting fired for a single incident may seem harsh, but ultimately it is up to your employer's discretion to determine what behavior is acceptable in the workplace. It might be helpful to reflect on the situation and consider if there were other factors that led to this decision. In the meantime, focus on finding a new job. Utilize Jobcase along with other job search platforms to explore opportunities and move forward in your career. Good luck with your job search!

@Kayla Patterson It doesn’t sound fair, but I recommend preserving any evidence you have including witnesses. Next step should be contacting an employment lawyer to see if you have a claim. If the lawyer doesn’t take your claim, you should file a claim with the labor board.

MentallyandPhysicallyDisabledFelon?

I've filed for SSI because I got fired due to physical symptoms causing me to get worse and going to a psyc hospital for 2 weeks. I have social/general phobia, schitzofrenias, anxiety attacks that causes stiffening of muscles if I'm too over worked for my meds to handle. Finding part-time "online" is impossible especially when you have a mental illness that causes you to not make it through past an interview. I signed up for vocational rehabilitation services and PACE in Indy. Needing advice on who would hire a felon as a cleaner, part time jobs at factory's, etc in Lafayette, IN #jobsearch #motivation #advice #interview #termination

I am glad that you filled for SSI, here in Champaign IL I have a client who receives $400 dollars per month from Regenial Planning Commissioner. She will have to pay back the funds once she gets her disability. It's not a lot of money, but you can't work while you wait to hear from them. I pray that you will receive your disability the first time. They deny everyone sometimes the first try. If you get denied, apply again. My God heal you with many blessings.

Sorry to hear about your struggles. Try searching Craigslist for part-time jobs. There are lots of housekeeping positions in the general labor section. Good luck! 🍀

Should companies be required to give employees they intend to layoff/fire a 2 weeks notice as is expected of employees when they’re going to leave a company?

Ik me id want the lay off or determinate giving them 2 weeks
