Guest Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 So 2 people got promoted, and one kid quit this week. They were not going to replace the 2 promoted people, and I don't know if they will replace the kid who is quitting. I know they are going to force me to work more Saturdays, but I'm going to tell them no or just quit. It's not worth a job to put up with so much BS these days. Fuck big companies that work their workers like this, and pay them shit because "the times are hard". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quit... at least let them lay you off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm not going to last the 2 years it'll take for that to happen. I can easily go back to my old job until I find something in a city I want. This stress and workload is not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 my friend (who got married this past november right quick and made everyone fly down to florida with 6 months notice) is pregnant (due in november) and spent the night in the ER bc her husband cut his thumb whilst slicing an apple. she told me she's making him a father survival kit for fathers day this year and is gonna put an apple corer in there. thats funny and all, but i'm seriously concerned that the guy requires a father survival kit and that my friend with no prior baby experience knows what is needed for said survival kit. this guy also claims they don't need "that much stuff" to have a baby and that they won't need anyone down there to help with babysitting, etc. (both their families live in nj). so now my friend is at risk of losing her job bc she isn't offered more than 6 weeks maternity leave and they wont guarantee her job back if she takes a year off without pay. sounds like it'll pan out well.

Guest Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah, that all does not sound like a good. There's no way they'll be able to handle it all without someone to babysit sometimes, unless she just quits working until the kid(s) grow up enough to go to school.

I think getting fired would look worse thhough.Look worse to who?An HR department in a former company can only say whether they would rehire you or not, or risk a big lawsuit. So, if you were to get fired and applied elsewhere, the place that you were fired from will not comment on if you were a quality employee or not to your prospective new company. They would verify the dates that you were there (so do not lie about your tenure) and then state whether they would rehire you or not given the opportunity.

True, but all places ask if you're been terminated from a job before (which I never got how this was legal). I don't know, it's a weird situtation, that I don't want to be part of. I'm sick of sick jobs. That's all that's around anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HR departments will verify dates of employment and state whether you are re-hire-able or not. HR departments risk lawsuits if they give more information than that.

KingTacoMunster Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 This is probably a bad idea, but anyone have any bad stories about being put under for a surgery? I have not had any surgeries yet, but I have to have knee surgery next Thursday, and the thought of being put under seriously freaks me out. Its why I canceled this surgery last fall, but it has to be done. Its silly, while nothing else bothers me, like heights, needles (tattoos/giving blood), etc. this is mind screwing me...

I've had quite a few and all been fine. However, I'd 100% recommend watching the film Awake if you get chance. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211933/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
