No job 4 u~!

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007 | Life

Ok, so I have been trying to switch to a different job at work. One that would pay a lot more and teach me some new things. Well I could do this job REALLY WELL. So every single time a position for it opens up I do not get an interview. This just blows my mind, because I have little doubt in mind that I could get the job with an interview. Well one time I couldn’t get the job because I had not worked there long enough despite having good recommendations. Then another time I couldn’t get the job because a “final written warning”. Basically I only had the final written warning because of attendance, but not even bad attendance. I had simply been sick 3 times since I had started working for the company.

Even with paid for sick time, EVERY SINGLE TIME we miss a day of work that wasn’t pre-approved for vacation we get nailed…. verbal/written/final written. Now my understanding was that after 60 days they drop off. Nope.

See I just got denied an interview again because of a final written warning…. This time I was very confused. I said I have only been sick once since July!!! Hell, I couldn’t drive to work that day because I had vertigo so bad. I got ready to go and just couldn’t walk straight…

Turns out what really happens is that after 60 days the status drops down 1 level. So if you have a final written warning and you go 60 days without being sick (which I did) it drops to a written warning. However then after that I was sick again, so the written turns back into a final written. This means that unless I go 180 days without being sick I will always have some kind of warning on my account.

This is pure evil. My boss (who’s awesome by the way) went and fought for me and told them how great I would be at the job. He was just met with “sorry, my hands are tied, I can’t hire somebody with a final written warning”. He told me that It was perfect for me and that I would make more money and be happier. Since as it stands, I am very good at my current job but it doesn’t challenge me in any way anymore.

Wanna know something eerie about the day I was sick ? It was right before I talked to my sister for the last time. I got vertigo then and it did not go away until I walked out of her apartment in Wisconsin for the first time… You know, everything is just energy and my brain just happened to get fucked up right after my sister made the hardest decision anybody could ever make. Then it stayed a little fucked up until I had left her apartment in Wisconsin.

Now I have to look at my own situation again. I can stay at GoDaddy and just keep doing my job, which is easy however I cannot be absent at all until December or the system will see me fired. Lets say I am not absent till then, if a job opening comes up then I can maybe get it, but if not if I am absent ANY time before February I am back on a final written warning and cannot be promoted again.

Talk about a bunch of bullshit… If you have “sick time” it should not count against you. Fine, you want it to count against us, then at least make it so that it won’t haunt us forever. I mean damn, you miss a couple days and you are fucked no matter how good / qualified you are for something else.
