Job policy sucks poop threw a straw
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 :)

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?

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.

Chances are, then, that you will have a very hard time getting a job in the future.
Non-related references are a necessity for most jobs for adults.
As an Executive Secretary in my past life (7 years ago), all applications that were not filled out in entirety were filed in File 13, never to be seen or heard from again.

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.
