“60 Shocking First-Day Stories: What Made These Employees Walk Out for Good?”
“15% of our female employees have reported harassment in the workplace” – shipping company
*this guy was right it was actually 25% working at shmed ex.
After 3 interviews, negotiations and tests, they agreed on my salary and we started on Monday. I come in, do all the paperwork and get assigned a pc, desk etc. Before coming in, I saw the red flag that they had a high turnover but they agreed on a really good salary for me. All of a sudden I get an email from CEO that he wants to “test me” again and gave me 3 complex tasks from his side business totally unrelated to my skills and position in the company, like asking a doctor to write a code. He told me just do it cause you’re working for me from now on. I stood up and went through the door. Half an hour later the HR calls me and asks to come back, I told her to have a good day and never contact me again.
At my new job, I have a colleague who worked there for one year. She started telling me crazy stories about the boss and the company. I didn’t dodge a bullet, but rather a rocket strike.
Two hours into my first shift at a glassware shop, I’d broken £175 worth of stuff by accident – while dusting the shelves, while wrapping items that a customer had just bought, and some things I swear broke just because I existed too closely to them. The owner, who was the artist/glassblower, to his infinite credit didn’t want to charge me or take it out of my pay – he actually said I did a great job with the customers and wanted me to stay – but my nerves couldn’t take it so I walked out. Carefully.
It was a hotel. Not a crappy one but not a fancy one either.
I was hired as housekeeping, I love cleaning and it paid decent so I was excited.
