Job Seekers' Support Group

Still seeking new work but no luck yet. Bad time to be job hunting. Anyhow, things here have not changed. Getting worse! Overheard him on phone with wife yesterday am. They were talking about more vacations coming up besides the one I put in my 1st post. They are not telling me when and will not get paid. These trips will be at least a week. For those who read my lengthy original post on this place, when you recieve a new job offer and if he does not pay for his trips when I can't work, would u "kindly" give HIM 2 weeks notice? I am salary remember.

Also, he is in process of putting together legal contractors for the installers. He wants ot backdate them 2 months! He wants me to sign that date on them. I told him why can't the installers do that when they come in to place their signature on it?

I am feeling extremely uncomfortable here but have no choice until I land a new job. Help!

This is so frustrating!  Although, it almost sounds to me like he wants you to come in and would like to find something for you to do so that you can.  Still, he could have said, "I am planning on going out of town this weekend, but am hoping to have things lined up for you so that you can still come in".

I know he does know that you are barely making it as it is, and it's frustrating that you weren't told about the not getting paid while he's out of town, but him wanting to find work for you, makes it seem to me, like maybe he's trying to work with you on the issue - get things lined up so that you can come in.  However, that doesn't explain why he'd tell the other guy he was going out of town and not you.  And then of course, lie about it.

Hi Jennifer. Not sure if you read my original post, but it explains a lot of what I have been dealing with at this job. I feel the boss/owner is taking advantage of me because he originally only wanted to hire somebody part time with a lot less pay; however, because of my situation and my being friends with his daughter, he decided to make it full time to help me out, and I wouldnt have to work 2 part time jobs. He is a tight wad!

If you get time, read my original post about frustrated and financial warning signs. The post was real long, but said a lot of what has gone on since day 1. I have only been here 2 1/2 months. No security and or stability. They take care of the other guy.
