Well well the break room has not changed a bit, love it! For those of you who know me, I once went by the name filmer88 but I forgot my login stuff and what not so changed it to jfilmer88. You may also know me as the person who started the thread Go out with a BANG! Well I went from spot to a call center and now to a new job. About a couple years ago I posted the pros and cons of my new job as opposed to Target. Well let me say this to be clear, CHECK A COMPANY"S ETHICS BEFORE YOU AGREE TO WORK FOR THEM! needless to say there were mass terminations going on for hourly employees for what I would call "lets make up something so general that they won't be able to ask questions". Unfortunately I was in this group, However this job taught me something and that is, if a company tells you what they are going to do for you, make sure to get it in writing! Just a few things to point out:
-Overtime was good for a while, but it got old real fast
-PTO even put in way in advance still had as much chance of being approved as a person who put it in 5 days ago
-Getting free cable was not worth the stress
-I am not a quota meeting kind of person especially when those quota's are unrealistic
-Payroll was constantly incorrect
This being said, I have moved onto another job where I get to actually choose where I work, what days and what hours (no it is not working from home just in case you were wondering), but I will say that I get to work at many different institutions and with those who are smaller than I, want to take a crack at what my job is?
Anyways, I would not consider going back to Target (unless if I had absolutely hit rock bottom), but in conjunction with this job I might work for a smaller store in the evenings.
So how has everyone been, any new jobs, comparisons of new jobs as opposed to target, etc....?
