Complaining to HR

It's time for BossMoss to take a good, honest look in the mirror. If his current employer is reducing hours in an effort to make him quit and he can't get a fast food job, something is wrong attitude-wise or with how be looks/ presents himself.

So no career path look for new work and do what you feel best as far as HR. I don't think it matters.

I been feeling that.

Always with a clean cut and freshly groomed beard, smelling like Burberry Touch, something females love. First day I came in a tie. They said that is too formal.

They don't write me up for anything or say anything, in fact I sell their little trinkets, which have high profit margin, really well.

It might be that they think that I feel I'm too good to be there, by my presentation.

I always clean my hands and have no dirt on them. While others have dirty hands and nails as the norm. I feel sorry for one dude who's always working even off the clock bc the work gotta be done.

This other job is a fast casual dining spot, a step above fast food. The woman hired me without an interview on the spot when I went in.

Part of me want to keep working there just as revenge to rub it in.

But yeah I've been feeling it hard.

Which is why I'm trying to do the coding school. Last resort is taking one of these crazy loans. Paying back about $24k overall for a 10k loan. I tried to go to the university's financial aid office, and they said what you're trying to do is for "extended studies" which is not towards a normal bachelors, so normal pell grants and whatever won't apply to you, we don't deal with those of this campus at all. I asked if there's some random scholarship that may apply to such a program I want to do. No. The extended ppl say yeah you gotta come up with it.

Government is even worse.
 
Well what you're dealing with really doesn't make sense then.

I'm an advocate for education - in the grand scheme of things, $24k is nothing if it means getting out of the minimum wage trap.

Are you overweight? Maybe lose the beard. Too much perfume isn't good either.

Be careful, some of those coding schools are a scam and all you'll end up with is a big bill with no job.

I highlighted that bit in red because I almost spit out the water I was drinking...so hilarious...

Seriously, dude???

Females "love" that?

Who said that, the marketing team at Burberry that wants to separate you from your money? Nearly every scent is offensive to someone. Go easy on that stuff, or you're going to be closing a lot of doors without even knowing why.

Next - what jobs does "coding school" get you?

Honestly - point me to an opening right now.

I believe in education. I've spent a lot of money to get my kids (3 of my own and my 3 step kids) a college education.

Every one of them has a job. A GOOD job. Those investments, in 6 bachelor's degrees (24 years of school. 48 checks, if you're counting), were absolutely worth it, but in your case, unless you've got someone willing to hire you with your "coding school" classes, you're being taken to the cleaners, yet again...

Most companies have a call in number, so call in your complaint from someone else's phone, and maintain your confidentiality. If you complain in PERSON, I would:

Check on my seniority status, (too old or young in the company tend to get ignored)
Check on the seniority status/favoritism of the person you are complaining about.

then you go to the EEOC if you feel you will be illegally retaliated against..

EEOC is your friend. record everything, and take them to the cleaners when terminated.

If what you say is true, you're making everyone look bad.

When you make people look bad, it really seems to rattle the cage of long-term employees. You're taking away their comfortable low expectations and forcing them to earn their money, threatening their livelihood.

It's the same with working harder than everyone: you are basically rubbing your superior work ethic in their face. If promotions are given based upon merit, you are costing them their fast track to promotions and again, threatening their livelihood.

I know they won't hire someone for a fast food job who is over-qualified and likely to bail when they eventually find better opportunities elsewhere.

100% true in 99.999% of all cases
 
I just noticed that it hits the female nose better than others. I always smell good. Men like it too, but it activates some desire for women. Get a sample and ask a female.

Yeah they set you up with an employer and everything. I researched it pretty good. It's at a top university, not some random shack in the woods.

And no I'm not overweight.

That's just sad. I gotta smell less good and keep my hands dirty.

That's true, but HR will also take out the target of complaints if he/she is going to get them sued...

That seems like sort of a weird mindset and statement. I have no problem trying to impress the female persuasion but dousing yourself in cologne is a bit of a red flag for the bag of D if you know what I mean and seems like a really bad body wash commercial cliche. I mean you sort of sound like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ccp-lEmoAE

Based on the three sentences I read in the other thread, if you really care enough about what seems like a dead end job, record your idiot of a boss on the cellphone (audio app) and if he is really the a hole you say he is, then you will certainly have a lot of ammo with HR. If not, maybe you embellish a bit? But I am in fact sympathetic because I have had some horrible bosses. I literally had one boss whose wife left him after he slept with his babysitter. He then hired her and gave her lucrative sales accounts he personally gave away for nothing and handed to her because she was a mentally incompetent little harlot; until the whole staff rebelled and the idiot owners of crap town gave him an ultimatum and of course she was forced out. But he's still there as an underpaid GM that sucks and is nothing but an intellectually limited buzzword king that clings to his job because the owners would have to pay real money to any successor and they can keep him for a paltry sum...

You may be onto something. What percent of the customers of an auto parts store are females? Save the cologne for Friday night clubbing or whatever. No need for a counter man to smell like anything but clean. Don't know about anyone else but if I notice cologne on a working guy I figure he's hiding something, like not bathing last night or reeking alcohol..

Certainly not reason enough to be out to get him but it's something to consider.

Yes, he should definitely nix it on interviews. The problem is that he eventually gets used to the smell, but the first time someone else smells it, it's probably way stronger than the person wearing it. I've been in multiple homes like that, they have some sort of weird smell but the occupant gets used to it over time so they don't even notice. OP seems somewhat clueless. Shower before an interview and make sure all clothes worn are freshly washed. No scent is best in any interview.

Also CA is a two party consent state so he should NOT record without the consent of the other party. These complaints are pointless to HR, the writing is already on the wall, he's not a valued employee when they cut his hours and he's making minimum wage.
