Got an email from the job (I thought the manager said she can’t send emails?), exact quote: “We are making some changes in the center and will let you know when you can come in . Please don’t come today.”
This isn’t even a job at this point. I was promised 3 days a week, 4 hours a day, not “We’ll call you when we need you.” I wouldn’t have filled out all the paperwork if I had known it was like this. Good thing I didn’t send my ID through email like they wanted (the I9 explicitly says ID must be physically examined, and I told them that, and they’re probably pissed at me I didn’t want to get in trouble with DHS over their questionable employment practices so they’re probably punishing me for obeying federal law).
Two days in a row I shower, get dressed, get ready to leave and I get a message “Don’t come into work today.” My first two days, no less.
This is fucking bullshit.
This is probably the most bullshit any job I’ve ever had. I’m not even sure I can say I’ve had this job since they told me not to come in my first two days, so I haven’t even technically started yet!
I’m probably going to leave this place off my resume.
The counter argument might be “Well, it is part time.”
Bull fucking shit. I’ve had lots of part time jobs and every one of them gives the schedule a week in advance, sometimes two weeks in advance. I’ve never had a job that was me sitting by the phone waiting for a sign like Moses. 1000% I would not have even applied for this job if I had known it would be like this.
