Hired but never called in to work!!!!!

[giada23]

I am so upset. I lost my job Nov 29th, and then miraculously, I found another job and got hired in on December 13th. It is now Jan 17th and no one has even bothered to call me and tell me what I need to do to begin working. I have already been to orientation, and I have already filled out my pre-employment forms. I have been constantly calling these people and they always say, "I will give your message to such and such and they will give you a call back", only they never do. The lady that hired me said there was two positions available and that I could get which ever one I wanted and nobody has called me back. One of the positions was to be a manager over one of the assisted living facilities that they own and the other was for a medical assistant. Ofcourse I wanted the position to become a manager, because of the potential to grow within the company. I was scheduled to have an interview for that position because I had to go through another boss to get in, and a freak accident happened the morning of the interview. I locked my keys inside the car with the car running and had to get a tow truck to come and open the car for me. I always start the car up in the morning before I leave so the engine will be warm and the heat will warm up the car before I get in with the kids. I have a kill switch on the car so when I started it up it must have locked the doors automatically. I asked the lady that called me to schedule the interview what was her number incase I needed to contact her and when I called her to tell her about what had happened she didnt answer.I called like a hour before I had to be there, and I left two messages and called the corporate offices and told them and they left a message as well. After the tow truck got me in the car, I called the lady again and left another message and told her that I was coming up there anyway. I was there thirty minutes after the scheduled time and ofcourse she wasn't there. I didn't here from this lady until four hours later after my initial call and I had to call her again to finally get in touch with her because she hadn't by then called me. I told her everything from start to finish again because it was apparent that she didn't check her voicemail, and I asked could we reschedule our appointment. This was like in the first week of January mind you , and this place already said that I had a job effective December 13th. This wench tells me that the next available appointment wasn't until the week of the 21st. :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire I was sooo pissed off!!!! I had to explain to this lady that I was already hired in the company and everybody that I talked to acted like they didn't know anything and no one has returned any of my numerous calls. She puts me on hold to pull my file and then she comes back talking about that they hadn't recieved all of my references back from my past employers and that she didn't know who told me that I had a position there because they can't hire anyone in until all of the paperwork comes back in. I wouldn't give a rats butt, I was told that I had a position within the company. She said she would talk to her boss and they would be calling me. That was almost two weeks ago, if not two weeks already. No one called me back. I am almost three months behind on my house note and these damn people are playing with my livelyhood. I could have been on my merry way looking for another job, but I was waiting on them to call me in to work. I finally called them yesterday one last time, and I finally talks to the boss who said that they checked my police record and it came back that I did have a record and i needed a police clearance. That was the big hold up!!? No one couldn't have contacted me with the info so I could get them what they needed? I know this person has gotten my numerous messages and she couldn't call me back to tell me that? I am incensed!! I have never seen such unprofessionalism in my life. You have called me in for all these interviews, and had me coming up to the office filling out pre=employment forms and sitting through orientation, and all this other stuff, and you people couldn't even call me to keep me informed? I have done everything these people have asked me to do. I feel like kicking somebody's #$%&!!!! She didn't even apologize, she just said, "oh just bring in your police clearance and I have a position for you asap". I am just so angry, it seems like I can't catch a break at all. And the killing part of this all is that my police record is from being arrested for driving on a suspended license. I don't have any felonies at all. Sorry this is so long, I am just blowing off steam.

I know you need the $$ and all, but I'm not sure if I'd want to work at such a screwed up place. They treated you badly before you even began working there. Go ahead and start (if they finally let you) but be on your guard. There's nothing worse than working with people who are like that (even if they're management).

Good luck. :)

If they are this unprofessional and disorganized from the get go I would not want to work in the facility. I would keep looking. Good luck to you.

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

Sorry to say, but I'm not sure I'd want to work for them either.

Good luck with whatever happens.

I have to agree with everyone else. What if you do start working there and decide later to leave - will they be cooperative if a future employer asks for references? If so, what will they tell them - the truth or their version of the truth. I would definitely be on guard.

[RosesrReder, BSN, MSN, RN]

wow, you probably would have found another job by now. Sorry about your situation and best wishes to you.

As if things couldn't get worse they did. I needed some inspiration today so I decided to go to night services at my church. I was feeling pretty renewed and inspired only to come home and find that some idiot has broken into my home and stole my dvd player and my kids play station 2. They ransacked my room looking for valuables but found nothing because I am still recovering from another break in at my home back in april. This is the second time this crap has happened. My house is going into foreclosure already and it isn't no point staying here and my home keeps getting broken into. I just don't know how much more of this I can take. I am at my wits end and I don't know what to do. I really need some prayers because I am just going absolutely crazy here. I couldn't get anymore depressed right about now. I don't understand why this kind of crap keeps happenning to me. I don't mess with anybody on this block, I don't talk to anybody, nobody from this street has been in my house or nothing. Why would somebody prey on a single mother and her kids? Why????

[KungFuFtr]

That's strange...

Sounds like something from officespace. :smackingf

Get a job elsewhere and after several years quit the other job and ask for your pension.

Im so sorry to here what you are going through it is tough being a single mother and trying to get by... Have you thought about bankrupcy(sp). or getting your home refinanced or home equity loan im sorry im just trying to think of some things to help you... I know what you are going through my sister and her husband just lost there home due to health issues(cancer)... they just got behind and couldnt get caught up.. Some churches will help single mothers with their bills etc. maybe you should speak to someone there. my thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!!!!!!

[Kathyz]

My thoughts and prayers are with you too! Good luck.

I wish I could reach through the computer and give you a big hug.

I'm sorry to hear about your house.

I'm sorry to hear about the job problems, I would run away from this company though. It seems like they are to disorganized.

Try contacting someone higher up in the food chain. Good luck!
