the trivial complaints thread

My Shop doesn't allow open toed shoes. Do these count?

Our safety shoe program budget is being reevaluated so new purchases are on hold until the allotment amount is decided. Of course this happens on the week when I cant go buy new ones on the company dime. Might just have to buy my own.

We get 8% night differential and Saturdays and Sunday's are time and a half.

Buttttt they have us work 7-8 days straight because the shifts go from Tuesday-Monday. Wednesday-Tuesday. And Friday-Thursday.

So we get 44 and 48 hour checks working straight 40 hours but you work through a weekend where the week re sets to the next pay period.

4 am to 1pm, then 2pm to 11 pm. some times 1230am to 9am..here. get paid differential before shift start of 6am or anything after 10 am.

-if I do get offered OT its only on the late day shift for an approx. 1 hour no OT after 11:59 pm.. bizzare rules. Pretty much walking zombie with 2 toddlers at home. not much ski time since this schedule changes 1 year ago. hump day grumpy for sure. I thought I was one of a few getting the shaft shift wise after 10 years of service. pretty much convinced that's is just a loosely orchestrated tactic of reducing staff. Small world. If its any comfort I feel for you guys.

Who schedules an interview for 9am on a Saturday?

Fml
That happened to me, I showed up for a interview Saturday at 9 am! There was another guy there applying as well.. we were told 2 out of the 4 slots for the positions were filled.. then they gave us a basic mechanical, literacy, grammar, mathematics, ethics skills test on the spot.. told me to take a hour lunch break and come back for results. " Results of what ma'am?, the job? yay or nay? that's what I need to know or... move on?" -No sir, the test results..yet before the lunch break she comes and tells me I passed..? , I leave and im told ill receive a follow-up call in 2-3 days. I never received a phone call for over a month. in fact, I had to call them and ask what the situation was? They told me, after passing placement testing and being hired they had set up a drug test that had an 24 hr expiration on it. Well it expired. I said I was never informed or given any instructions to this at the interview.. someone messed up and didn't handle the process correctly. I was rescheduled for the drug test.. passed and reported to the job the following Monday. And somehow i'm still with them to this day. the other guy either didn't pass or take the job. never heard anything further.

Good Luck @Grouper!
