They want you to call them 24 hours a head if your going to be out but they have the right to call you on your day off and tell you they need you in work in a half hour.
Yea because I know I'm going to be sick 24-hours in advance
"Oh tomorrow morning i am going to have a stomach ache! Let me tell my job!"
-.-
ninjaa pease.
Not fair if you ask me
They can call at any random time telling you they ened you but if yo uwere to call I nthat same day they get mad.
Pfffffffft.
I used to be in that game and remember. I learned quick to not answer the phone. There was no caller-id back then but we did have answering machines :)
Listen to Rick, the words of experience.
Yea haha, but then I would feel bad because what if it was something important? But I never ever follow the 24 hour rule. If they do it then I can to haha
That is so lame! I would be pissed to! Yea don't answer your phone invest in Caller ID!
Caller Id FTW!
Ftw?
If it was important they'd leave a message. Don't feel bad when you "let down" those who would only use you. You work because you have to, not because they love you so much. Fulfill your obligations/duties that you know of... and do a good job for them... but draw the line.
Haha yea that's true, I never really thought about it that way. Im out of that job now. They want us to smile and be as ncie to the customer as possible, no problem at all I'm friendly, I'm smiley, I'm loving but if the customer starts becoming a pain where the sun dotn shine yeaaa... I have a short temper, and I'm to sarcastic for my own good, one thing my boss hated about me.
Im like a younger version of Rosanne when I start gettign annyoed hahaha .
I love Rosanne, That show is great.
But that's besides the point.
Oh and when you have to fill in 2 people who know you who are not your fmaily members as your reference, why do you have to do that?
Sadly I know the "For The Win" acronym. I'm a 20 year old stuck in a 45 year old body.
Oh I was lost!
FTW is great. Haha
Why are you lost Mrs.joe
Why do you have to list two references that are not related to you? People who are related to you are not considered to be the best source of information - as they are biased and will only say the person is "just great", a "hard worker" - those kinds of things. Many places do not even consider a relative's word for a prospective employee.
The two non related references will, hopefully, give a better balanced view to the would be employee.
Yea I never fill those things out. Relaying on the people on I know out side of the family is like replying on a rat to be in charge of cheeeese.
LMAO. I like that part - relying on a rat to be in charge of the cheeeeese. I have worked in some of those places. OY!
Chances are, then, that you will have a very hard time getting a job in the future.Quote:

What if I am a lonely women who lives with 7 cats and I have no friends? Then no job? =(
That's mean. I know, I can make up two friends. Bob and Mary.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=x
Hahah no the problem is, most of my friends are lazy little bums who don't have jobs/ want to work so they wouldn't know how to respond if someone called them saying " "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO whatchya htinking about Reneee ;] "
I mean. Theyd say like "uhhhhhhhhh... she smells good? "
Honestly, all kidding aside, when I would send out references and something came back that just sounded so stupid, I would call the person who sent the reference in. While it is true that you generally only ask your friends or former co-workers for a reference, they can stretch the truth as well as a relative.
Even former employers are not completely honest in giving out references. I once hired someone I had previously worked with at another agency. Her references came back in great recommendations. No one ever told me she had been fired for major theft. Her former employer never said word one. When I found out and did ask my former boss about it, he said it was to protect their agency from a possible lawsuit.
Well I'm not working now cause School is taking up too much of my time, but when I do eventually go back working I'm going to try to find reliable references.
