| So back on May 20th began the longest streak ever of my husband not going to work. He "went in" on June 3 after 2 weeks off only to come home 2 hours later saying that there was just NOBODY at work! A company of thousands of people and NOBODY was there? So you thought you should just come home too huh? I was very suspicious and looked at the trash bag in our truck to see if I could find McDonalds trash or something where he got breakfast and just sat in his truck or something. I find a receipt from Denny's from an hour earlier. So I was close. He sat at Denny's all that time instead. So then he takes off again through Thursday and then finally goes in on Friday and finally says to his manager he wants to go back to working on the floor (the whole reason he took all this time off is so they'd replace him). Stays at work all day on Friday and goes in the following Monday to start his new position only to come home 1 1/2 hours early from that. His ne w boss said she didn't want him taking all this time off as he had been doing and he said he wouldn't do that. Well sure enough he takes off the next day and all of last week and was off all this week until today where I am assuming he is at work, but who knows, he may come home at anytime for some stupid reason. So out of 23 work days in the past month he has been there 2 days! A few of his days off he used vacation but the rest were unpaid. Nothing like using all your years vacation in less than a month! I work from home but interviewed for a job about a month ago. The interview went well but I didn't get the job. A few weeks later the guy calls me and asks if I'd like to come in for about 3-4 weeks and work because they need the help. I say sure. Well I started this past Monday where I spent the day watching company videos and just doing general orientation. I had a half hour meeting with the manager and the girl who'd be training me. They briefly went over what I would be doing. I figured I'd get some heavy one on one training the next day. Well to make a very long story short, my "training" pretty much compromised the girl coming over and loading the necessary links and programs onto my machine, a very quick run through on what I'm supposed to do (so quick I couldn't even write anything down as she was zipping through screens and panels). She went back to her desk, IM'd me saying she put a few for me to do on the server and she'd be over to check on me in a bit. I had no clue where to even begin. Then comes over and gives me a new aspect to help her out with when I don't even grasp what I'm supposed to be doing with the other thing. To top it off she was going to be in late the next day and I didn't even know that until I got an email from the manager telling me as much! So I was going to be in 3 hours before her in the morning and I was at a total loss as to what I needed to do. I left there knowing that I wasn't going to be coming back and sent an email to the manager when I got home explaining just how frust rated and confused I was and that I was hardly trained on anything. He replied that this isn't the norm it's just that they are under a huge deadline. So that means I don't get any training?? In any case, I wasn't going back. Of course my husband is all up in arms and says I need to go back and tell them I don't understand and I need someone to sit down with me for a day and go over things bit by bit. I told him that nobody has time for that and that I am so frustrated already. He acts all disappointed in me and then goes "Well I don't want to hear from you about how I don't go into work then if your not going to go into work". WHAT?! I quit a job I wasn't getting trained on that was only going to last 3-4 weeks AND I have freelance work to do from home AND I am the one who has money and has been paying the entire rent and bills since practically the beginning of the year. You have a job that you never go to and don't get paid when you don't go AND you haven't paid your share of the rent or bills since the beginning of the year because you have no money. When you are home all you do is sit on your ass and play video games and nap and eat and drink. I freelance, do housework, do yardwork, run erran ds. I'm not proud of quitting a job, since I never have, but at least I am still making money from home. | |||
