Started orientation for a job that I had already been working an entire year, through a contract. Company nor contract staffing agent never offered an end date and staffing agent did not seem to have an idea. As it come upon being in this position close to a complete year, I received an company email at my desk. Subject reads "New Hire information". I did assume. Next week email arrived "Welcome...Please complete paperwork and return." Followed by you must have PPD/Chest xray. Their service was not as attentive to my needing to get this medical requirement accomplished for this job as a new hire, however others were helpful in my accomplishment. Mission accomplished, I thought. I asked will my pay rate increase as a new hire. The verbal reply was "no". I asked will I be subjected to go through 90 day probation period. Reply is "Yes". I've literally worked hard, started the job hitting the ground running. Working deligently ever since. Until orientation. None of the paperwork stated the pay rate of position. Second day of orientation a representative awaits the new hire group to discuss money "saving retirement plan" options. I listened. I declined. That session was followed by another session of a staff member reading through a booklet of information for each pay period a deducted amount for health care, amount for health plan savings, amount for vision, dental, accidental insurance, long term and short, each. And of course life ins deduction. Get fired,byou gets nothing back. I declined that, too. I have NOT receive a first paycheck from the company, yet. Why give up money like that and I have no idea what my pay will look like. For all I know they may shock me and only pay 7.75 an hour. I don't know. I do not know what happen or who said what, but another session began of entering a ton of personal info into computer ...followed by only me summoned to a meeting in an H.R. office, "I was accused of being rude. I made facial expressions." I know when I am spoken to, I give my attention, just like the others in attendance. I am an adult. A respectful adult. I was reluctant on signing anything I did not understand, I asked a question or 2. I was not interested in contributing any monies all at once, and I was politely seated the whole time, beside a person with a swelly body stinch...I cannot say that I caused any problems. Though I did apologise in H.R. mtg for any misinterpretations. ( I thought to myself "why am I apologising?") I had worked with this company for a decade a few years ago. So, this is not my first rodeo. I am older, wiser and know to expect anything. After ALL of that, I'm told they need to check my previous employment there, reason I left and talk to CEO. That was determined when I went to the job under contract. I was told that "I may be ineligible for rehire." I say "really?" I was told "You take a leave of absence." We will call you in a few days." I left, not uttering a word with new badge and all. Why not request badge(s) & materials to remain on premises? Save me a trip. Seems crazy. Some faces changed but not the game. Was that my vacation? Omg. What am I suppose to think of this business? What do some of you Job Casers think of this? _●_/????? _/_

Hi! I am an Entrepreneur working in the Marketing and Travel Industry. I love what I do. #Marketing #WorkFromHome #Sales #Travel #training #recognition #Recreation #Personal #careerchange #benefits #fulltime #parttime #vacation #promotion #noexperience #followup #Personal #resources

So I was asked in a interview what I might say if a employee was talking about taking a sick day before taking vacation and what I would do with that how do you answer such a thing?

I had an interview last week on Monday and I think everything went well. I’m still nervous though she hasn’t called me back but she says it was because she was on vacation and she says don’t think that I don’t have the job I don’t know what that means please pray.

Happy Friday! I had my first interview today after being employed at the same company for 12 years. I really felt great after the interview BUT I totally forgot to mention that I have a cruise planned in March.

I sent an email thanking them for the interview, made mention of what I learned during the interview and closed with an apology about not disclosing my cruise during the interview.

I've been out of work for 3 months and I told my family that I would just forfeit, if we couldn't find someone to take my place.

I just wanted someone else's opinion on what I should or should have done - mentioned or not mention?

Thank you, Gwen

I booked and paid for a vacation in November last year. I started a new contract position in February. Two weeks ago, I requested the two weeks off and got no response from my manager. How do I get this request approved? Should I lie and say it’s a medical issue? Say I’m dealing with a sick family member? Say I’m doing volunteer work or getting married? How in the world do you get an approval instead of being ingored? I want to make sure that I don’t have to dial in and work during that time. That is so wrong to do.
