HR

AlarmingYak7956

Ppl getting fired at my job and they changed the policy and its easy to get fired now. HR won't admit it and told me it wasn't true, even though I had email infront of me proving others were getting wrote up for very simple things. Miss 2 days in month? wrote up. have a bad day bc of your documented disease? Wrote up. 4 write ups is a fire and any write up takes away your yearly bonus.    Il be next and i was looking in job market and there is nothing out there. It's gonna get rough soon. I'm preparing for the firing and unemployment.

To instill irrational fear in you.. or your boss called HR and says not to touch and leave you alone.

2nd_yr_cs

Mother faker HR emailed yesterday that he’s gonna call me today anytime between 1pm to 5pm. Now he emails me that call not required. Why did he waste my time then 

2nd_yr_cs

I feel so sleepy. But the HR is supposed to call anytime between 1pm to 5pm . Do I just ignore and go to sleep??

The layoffs in ‘23 and ‘24 were not that alarming when you factor how much these companies hired during the pandemic. That feels more-so like HR at companies across board dropped the ball when planning for staffing.

polychris

Don’t worry. That’s completely normal. There’s a bunch HR documentation and paperwork and probably some training that they need to get set up.

Temporary_Ability996

Serious question: have you had a job before? This sounds like a bog-standard HR email.

2nd_yr_cs

I’m gonna start working in the new job starting next week. And today I got email from HR saying- “I am reaching out to you in regards to the onboarding process”. Is that negative? Anything wrong in the background check?

So much talk about how we are going back to the golden age of America, but nobody talking about bringing back drinking at work. I feel like this is the missing piece of the puzzle everyone ignores from that golden age. Much easier to rise and grind with a drink in hand. It is also much easier to close deals and get things done when everyone has a nice buzz going. We need to stop focusing on tariffs and focus on removing HR and bringing back to golden age of drinking on the job.

Yogurt_Up_My_Nose

sorry to hear. keep trying. maybe follow up with HR and let them know you appreciated the interview and would like to still be considered for a role. then check in with them each month.

greenghostvibes

Trulieve is a joke. They treat their staff like shit. The customers treat staff like shit. The company is putting out new changes every day bc they have no idea what they’re doing. Upper management and HR have no idea how to work with staff or how to treat staff. Trulieve breaks laws all the time but people are too scared to say anything.

Damn the HR Lady was a 10 but her company had no IPO yet 

bknknk

I mean true there is no law but we have a lot of policy in place to ensure cost equity is fair and competitive. It applies through our senior ranks and HR is very strict with it. Obviously he can do what he wants but if I'm a normal humble ceo (if that even exists) I would be trying to stay within process of my organization... Especially when it's something literally as simple as taking a slightly higher base. Board would likely approve no issue anyways as he's kind of underpaid in base

jlauth

There doesn't need to be some "law". It's probably good business practice and HR practice.

MacDonalds pays crap, and their HR booklet told staff show to apply for food stamps…they knew their pay wasn’t enough to live on, and rely on govt ‘handouts’ to keep their fry-jockeys alive. Despicable company.

OG-Bio-Star

wow. and I think I cannot be further surprised about the schlock that drips out of his donut hole. I have been storing dry goods for awhile and we thus have household goods and non perishable foods for \~12 months. However, I think I will be feeding alot of people because most people I know barely make ends meet from month to month--they cannot avoid this tragedy of going to an empty grocery store or cant buy batteries or cant buy some necessity that is bought from China or Vietnam. Few people I know can afford to stockpile. Car parts might not arrive. many people have to drive to work or for work. What a tragedy coming. Red states you need to lean on your Senators because daddy Trump is not listening, not observing and certainly does not read your begging tweets and IG and tick tocks. I didnt vote for him. Until the people who voted for him get the red senators & HR to cooperate to throw him and his bird-brain cabinet out we are doomed.

greytoc

That would be my guess which is why it's better for you to ask you HR/payroll. Stuff like that can happen - once I had a payroll check for only $1 occur where there was a tax issue because of the 401k - lol.

jinx9000

Covid redundancy really made me appreciate my new job. I never acted spoilt in a job but that HR call was great.

greytoc

My vague recollection is that it's probably a contribution error that needed to be adjusted. You should ask your company HR or 401k provider. Example from IRS site here - [https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/401k-plan-fix-it-guide-you-didnt-use-the-plan-definition-of-compensation-correctly-for-all-deferrals-and-allocations](https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/401k-plan-fix-it-guide-you-didnt-use-the-plan-definition-of-compensation-correctly-for-all-deferrals-and-allocations)

You don't have control over what the retirement acct is invested in? Every company i worked for, from large to small, let employees choose where to park the money. The retirement acct is supposed to be managed by a third party company to prevent company from tampering, embezzeling, etc, and also if company goes out of business creditors can't claim the retirement acct is under the company and ripe for pilfering. Contact HR and ask them who the retirement acct administrator is and theb contact them asking what investment options you have. At a prev company we basically would get a piece of paper with the fund options, and have to pencil in our info and ratios. The shitty part about that old companys retirement admin company was they'd get rid of funds for underperforming, and sell my shares in the fund to lock in the loss. This pissed me off ro no end, bc the funds were cyclical in nature and would have bounced back given time. But, no, they chose to lock in a loss and stair step my money down. If you can find out the retirement acct is going into an s&p fund, then do the match. I'm guessing your company does a 3% match bc its "unlimited"..so if you did $300 or $300,000 a year they'd match 3%? That company i,worked for did that, bc all the workers were getting paid squat and couldn't afford to pit any,into retirement. Meanwhile the execs got a nice 3% bonus on the hige chunk they put in.  I put a large chunk into company match retirement at work, but also save some of my oaycheck ti emegency fund, big ticket item fund and persoanl investment fund. My retirement is going into S&P fund thoigh. I do up to the max company match. When i get done paying off student loans, ill take that additional money and chuck it into an IRA i also have for the tax break. But it's always nice to have some cash in hand to take advantage if the market when you can. But having retirement investment on auto pilot is a bigger thing to setup first.

I seriously doubt that you have NO control over which investments are in your IRA. Have you talked with the HR folks about your IRA investments?

There was a saying I heard back when ChatGPT/AI was first entering the world discussion- “Today is the worst AI will ever be.” The technology is always continuously improving. And we see where it is at today relative to a year ago, or 2 years ago etc. Same with robotics. The tech for autonomous humanoid robots will be ready in the next 1-3 years to be financially viable for large industrial companies to start implementing. That timeline is not just from Elon, it’s from the other larger players in the humanoid space as well (Figure AI, etc). Use cases are jobs in the industrial sector, manufacturing, handling of hazardous materials or dangerous environments, construction, farming etc. Sure, they move at 80% of the pace (today) a human would, but they can work (conservatively) 18 hours a day, seven days a week. Among other benefits (no PTO, injury lawsuits, onboarding, HR related stuff, etc). Again, I don’t think you’ll see them implemented in “customer facing” jobs for some time still.

bill HR 561 was only introduced, the republicans decide what goes to a vote. They haven’t taken it to a vote yet because they have no intention to Actually pass it.

dundunitagn

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/561 HR 561 was introduced, no further action. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/1046 S 1046 - same story, bill was introduced but no effort to call a vote. It appears the Reich wing is just introducing bills for the photo op and sound bite. None of the legislation is scheduled for debate. There are no additional backers for the bill. By all actions it is clear they never planned to pass any such legislation. But they did manipulate you. See how the scam works now?

dmk_aus

To be fair, the service it provides is only 10 to 15% worse than the average management consultant, HR rep, customer service chatperson, or journalist. Slightly more incorrect information, but less deliberate and sophisticated manipulation and gouging.

No one is saying permanent WFH, thats your strawman argument. You can reduce office spaces then have workers come into the office staggered, that way you fit 500 people in 100 desks. Its not like the software team must be in regularly at the same time as finance or HR

Lil homie, India's whole economy relies on GCC i.e Global Capability Centers. These are offshore facilities established by multinational corporations  to manage various business functions and processes for the parent organizations. To put it even more simply, Indians do the accounting, IT, R&D, Finance, HR etc. The only thing left in the parent organization are skeleton crews that work on projects that absolutely cannot be off shored and higher management. It doesn't matter **if Indians are cheap now because they will be good later.** They will be hired and trained. They will then slowly gain experience. You can buy a good education but you can't buy experience. All the fruits of the intellectual labor done by this group will stay in India. Young white collar workers in the west will be hired less and less (This is already happending btw) because yall are not needed anymore. And just like how you lost manufacturing, you will lose the rest of the business too. This has been happening for the past two decades, since the Indian economy has opened up. So, my suggestion to you would be to bark. Bark about how Indians are not good at assembling Iphones. Bark about nuclear reactors. Bark about brown people in general. Because pretty soon, that's all you can do :).

Agreed, Walmart has the advance is that it's prices are lower AND it's quality is better than 2025 Target. This wasn't always the case but is the case now. Costco is obviously vast cheaper and better quality. Amazon is ALSO cheaper than Target while not having to leave the house. The "retaiil" experience at Target also sucks now so it's a store for basically no one. I'll re-use a post from last night since it's related: --- It's even funnier and more regarded than that but yeah lol basically. Target blew itself apart into smithereens, all completely self-imposed idiotic self-destruction, more hellbent on a Freudian death-drive than an 19 year old who just leased a White Nissan Altima 2025 @ 50% APR and blew all his college funds on 0DTE options. They spent decades, starting in around early 00s and doubling down hard circa 2008-2018, on trying to make in-roads on black communities (often featuring black-owned and marketed products) and promoted on social media/Blacktok/Blackgram/etc AND they spent decades starting in the 90s trying to capture the petite-lumpenproletarian by angling themselves "Hey Walmart is cheap slop for poors, ur not poor are you? Come shop here! We're slightly better and ur can call urself middle class if u shop here instead of those dirty wally world stores!" (which later they blew up by cutting quality drastically the past 8 years while jacking up prices). And you know what....? IT WORKED! Sales were raising pretty well from 2010-2020 and the brand was generally well-liked and people generally enjoyed shopping there. Like it was an actual fucking successful marketing campaign and business model Starting in around 2020, they decided every single consumer was an evil criminal hellbent on stealing that $2.99 pair of Hanes Underwear so they started locking up everything with beg buttons. Consumers hate this shit and will just shop on Amazon if they have to go around spamming beg buttons to buy a Old Spice deodorant for $12.99 when they can just click 1-Day-Ship-Now off Amazon for $4.99 instead. Target has raised prices so much that they're not even remotely competitive with online shopping while also blowing up their in-person shopping by making it impossible to shop in person, while also blowing up all their inhouse brands and goodwill by making them dogshit while costing an arm-and-a-leg. The regarded shift to being like "HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT WE HATE DEI MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE! ITS GONE WE HATE IT IT WAS SO BAD BUT WE'RE GOOD NOW TRUST US" like a week after inauguration is just icing on the explosive diahrea shit cake they've been pressure cooking for a solid 5-years now. It doesn't actually matter because it's always been HR Buzzword non-sense to protect the corporation, but y'know, even wearing corporate seat-belts is apparently too smart for Target.

Factory workers lose jobs but then there is more labor needed for other things. Not just maintianing/programming the robots, but the increased production and sales mean you need all the infrastructure around that (sales & marketing, accounting, HR, etc.)

LiquidNeat

Incorrect. You certainly do because it’s a choice that the company/HR makes. I was able to get multiple companies I worked at to switch providers. Just put together a spreadsheet showing the millions of dollars you’re losing to fees and petition for it. Companies are legally required to change the provider because of fiduciary laws or they can get sued.

I probably would have signed it for Elon's free money, but I had a friend who was looking for work and went to a few interviews where the hiring manager, CEO's first question was "why did you sign the Scott Walker recall petition?" and at that point, the interview was over. I really don't want my name floating around on some pro-Elon mailing list that could be used against me for future employment. If they like the fact that I'm on that list, I probably don't want to work there, if they don't like the fact that my name is on the list, what's my excuse? "I just did it for the money", doesn't sound very convincing. I doubt anyone read the fine print for getting the $100, but I assume there's some T&C's like you have to repost Elon's vitriol on X 11 times or get bad luck. At my current job, we have to go through a process with HR just to be able to donate $20 to a political candidate as all of our practitioners / consultants need to have the appearance of independence.

People on the internet say these things endlessly but it’s not really supported by the data. Go to any large Fortune 500 company and their is a heterogeneity as to what types of schools people attended. Unless your goal is to work for a Silicon Valley tech firm, it’s never been a better time to attend a cheaper school with less “prestige” given that employment data continues to support that it means jack shit for your actual career advancement. But people respond much better to a fairytale story about a manager hiring someone from their Alma Mater than hard employment data. In reality, your job application is going to be moved to the next stage by some crappy outdated HRIS and maybe a midwit HR person.

whattheheckOO

No, you didn't read my entire comment. Even if everyone was "motivated", there aren't enough of those jobs to go around. Look at what's happening in countries like South Korea and China, a massive percentage of young millennials and gen Z have college degrees, and there are no jobs for them on the other end of it. How many unfilled HR jobs do you think there are? Not enough to compensate for all the lost mining and factory jobs that these men's grandfathers did. There are a lot of part time service jobs with no benefits, but that's not good enough. Ideally we'd force companies to make all of those full time with regular hours and benefits, but that still doesn't solve the problem of dignity. Most people don't want to be wiping down a counter at McDonalds at age 40 or 50, and it will never be high paid enough to support a family, even if we raise the national minimum wage. There are a lot of moderately skilled trade jobs that can be decently well paid, referenced in my original comment, we just need to create those jobs. We already have way too many people with college degrees working low paid service jobs with crushing student loan debt. The answer is certainly not more college.

For every smart person actually doing the hard biotech work, there is a whole network of people supporting that work, all of which is still usually better than shitty manufacturing jobs. You need HR, legal people, marketing, sales, personnel managers, IT support, you need other companies and suppliers that manufacture the equipment for labs and installers to set things up, etc. I work in engineering and there are still plenty of people that aren't really "tech" workers. But I agree with your 2nd paragraph, you need government to effectively subsidize some industries in cases where they aren't sustainable yet or will never be sustainable, but are still needed by society.

Here’s my criticism of this garbage study published in a garbage journal with an impact factor of 0.4: -It’s a Narrative review only: no defined search strategy, protocol, or PRISMA flow; high risk of cherry‑picking. -No quality/risk‑of‑bias grading: animal studies , case reports and RCTs lumped together without weighting. -Heterogeneous exposures merged: e‑cigs, water‑pipes, and heated tobacco treated as the same “vaping.” -No quantitative synthesis: makes strong claims without pooled effect sizes or CIs. -Out‑dated / overstated toxicology: repeats debunked nicotine LD₅₀ (30 mg) and early‑generation device data. -Short‑term physiology ⇒ long‑term disease: acute BP/HR changes equated to chronic smoking mortality. -Ignores dual‑use & dose–response: doesn’t separate exclusive vapers from former/dual smokers. -Funding/COI opaque: where is the fucking funding?

Drump still has his head stuck in the 80s and 90s when manufacturing left and "they took all our jobs". There's a modicum of truth to that, but we're entering an age of post-industrial technological innovation where machines and automation will perform much of the drudgery that people had to manually perform in the past. There will always be a demand for manual, human labor (in the short term), but the days of hundreds of factory workers putting together phones, cars, and clothes are long behind us and the only reason corporation have chosen NOT to technologically innovate is because it's way cheaper to pay some person in bumfuckistan $0.10/HR to sew buttons onto a shirt, than invest in domestic manufacturing (even with machines). Corporations WILL NOT pay a U.S. wage to make iPhones and clothes, the prices they'd have to sell their finished products at would be unsustainable, and said factory workers would not even be able to afford them.

While there are some Toyotas and Honda's up at $70k, that isn't the typical price range at all. It is still possible to get a normally sized car/SUV (read: not a fucking giant monster of a vehicle) for $30-$40k. Source - did some shopping around and getting some out-the-door prices and was able to find an XLE Rav4 Hybrid for $37.5k, including tax. LE non-hybrid would be around $33k. Corolla, Civic, HR-V etc would all be less than that, while Camry, Accord etc would be similar. Yes, if you get a full size suv or minivan or pickup, you will pay way more. If you get a fully loaded model with a bunch of options, you will pay more. These are prices before tarrifs...so ymmv.
