@derp I was handed a letter already signed by HR stating that I have accepted that I was released from employment for 'failing my probationary period'. When I asked for clarification, I was told that 'they were unable to say anything more'.

If you want, you can PM me about this. Because this smells like something an employment lawyer would feed on.

Yeah, seriously. That sounds shady as heck.

It is. And I'm fairly certain it violates the ADA.

I live 1000ish steps away from my school. Today I just felt the WEIGHT of our staffing problems (we've had to cover someone, and 5 someones today all but two days for the last month) and so decided that over my shorter plan period I needed a brain break.
So I went home.
And cuddled kittens.
10/10 mental health yes.

Well, more and more, I'm thinking about asking for the reasons why I did not get my promotion to tier two in writing.
I have interviews on Wednesday for a job I am super hopeful for, permanent work from home, close to what I do now, they provide equipment, and pay more.
The interview that just stood me up, almost 2 weeks ago? Called me to apologize, there was a scheduling error, blah blah blah. I told them I'd be willing to schedule another. I'm willing to give them a second chance.
So here's hoping.
-
@macha best wishes! WFH with better pay and understanding they need to provide their own equipment sounds like a much better circumstance.

@ganymede Awww. Kittens.
Thanks, guys.

-
@ganymede Well, being as I'm allergic (sad), kitten pictures are pretty great. I have all the adorable doggo I need.

In less stressful news, I got my L&I income replacement check from the state. It's less than half, but better than nothing, and allowed me to at least make the health insurance payment, so there is that. I was shocked that it only took a couple of weeks.

So, the rescheduled interview from almost 2 weeks ago, was for today. But somehow, it was for a completely DIFFERENT position. In Las Vegas. In Office. .... HAHHAHAHAHAHA NO.
I explained to the woman what happened, how I didn't get called on the 14th when I should have been, and that I'd been sent an email to schedule a new interview time.
She has no record of my previous application and following Assessment tests, and all this other bullshit.
I know I said I would give them a second chance, but... wtf.
-
I meannnnnnn if this is the level of competence you can expect going forward...
-
I now got an email from this company, telling me they're no longer considering me, and I have to wait 6 months to apply again.
For fucks sake.
But other interviews this morning I /think/ went well? I hope? This job sounds like I'd be breaking a lot of new ground, and.. yeah. My ADHD loves new things.

I need my husband to go back into work in person. He is going stir crazy and I'm finding that more and more often I have to fact check and push back on things he says because being alone has put him into an echo chamber.

The company that botched two interviews is now no longer considering you?
Like -- a'ight.
That happened to me with Nvidia. They really fucked the interview process up. I ended up letting the guy's manager know and waving as I sped off into the distance.
-
Don’t send him back because he’s stir crazy.
Send him back for his insolence.
I do not reward knowledge; I punish ignorance.
