Also one of the cooks makes suggestive comments to every female employee, sings nasty music at the top of his lungs, and calls the Spanish-speaking dishwasher "Taco". He's like a walking harrassment lawsuit.

Read Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations". The book, not the show. It'll explain a lot.

There was no hot water going to the dishmachine when I got here. Now there's no water at all while the plumbers work. I'm a dozen racks of dishes behind and counting, with nothing I can do about it, which is why I have time to bitch about it here.

Is it an American company? 'cause that almost certainly won't fly in an American court. Brazil, who knows.

That is a trap, sir.

Is the person offering the job Snidely Whiplash? Check for the gesture of constantly rubbing hands together and being hunched over.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #768 on:** March 30, 2010, 02:14:54 PM »

the contract automatically ends at 31 December, but still it's not something I'm comfortable with.

SCD · « **Reply #769 on:** March 30, 2010, 02:35:37 PM »

Go with your gut on that one. It sounds like they're set up to fuck you over.

Mongrel · « **Reply #770 on:** March 30, 2010, 04:46:33 PM »

Yeah, you have far more to lose from that agreement than you stand to gain.

Mothra · « **Reply #771 on:** March 30, 2010, 05:12:17 PM »

I really would not do this. That said, you should tell them exactly what Mongrel just said, that you seem to have far more to lose here than to gain, but that you'd love to do this if there wasn't some massive terrifying illegitimizing trap door hanging over the project.

Just make clear that this is stopping you from joining a project you'd personally passionately want to do, and that if they can rework the deal you'd love to join up.

This is a Good Idea, I definitely agree that you should do this.

Welcome, Zara, to the real life game of A Dragon Eats You.

Brentai · « **Reply #774 on:** March 30, 2010, 06:31:47 PM »

Er, no, I would not even entertain this offer or anything else from these people even if it meant working on, like, Harle Gets Naked Online.

At the very best, these assholes are going to annihilate whatever love you have left for the trade.

JDigital · « **Reply #775 on:** March 31, 2010, 01:37:24 AM »

Brentai's sig looks like Zara running away from the offer. (Zara is green like Blanka, right?)

Hey, a job bitching thread.

I was supposed to be transferred out of my current location to another store by now, but as of yet I don't even have a transfer date. While I understand why, I can't help but feel I'm being bullshitted. The complete lack of communication during this whole process, which began as far back as the December, hasn't helped. It also doesn't helped that I haven't had any significant time off since last August, and haven't had a full day off at all since January. My mind is close to cracking.

Mongrel · « **Reply #777 on:** March 31, 2010, 02:54:53 AM »

That last line + your avatar makes me want to suggest "Time to start cracking skulls!" by way of advice.

JDigital · « **Reply #778 on:** March 31, 2010, 10:26:54 AM »

So why are you posting on a board instead of ~~cracking skulls~~ complaining to the people who sort this out?

Indeed. I broached the matter today. I was told that I should be done and transferred by two weeks "at the latest". We'll see if it pans out.
