Well, I May NOT Get That Job That I Was "Led To Believe" That I Was Getting (Should I Be Worried?)

You'll be better off in a call center doing customer service or sales :mjgrin:. Better than going through what you're going through
The crazy part is that I'm great with customers. On my first job I used to get 20 dollar tips. TBH, I'm better at hosting and greeting people. However, I'm just trying to use blue collar as a stepping stone for when I get into white collar work. I'm going back to school, but I do want a skill along with it. Also, I'm learning Spanish because it will be beneficial in the future.

Call centers are perfect for what you're trying to do :dwillhuh: and your dignity is better than any blue collar skill they're trying to teach you

As others have said don't trust anything anyone tells you until you see a contract and you've signed it. the nature of construction jobs means they have a fairly high turnover regularly, unless you got the plug.

It's why I cringe when I see friends and acquaintances on social media bragging that they've done well at this job interview or that one and they've been told they have a good chance etc, only to go radio silence when they don't get it.

:sadcam:

It takes 40 seconds to make a thread. Also, I can prove that I work. I have no reason to lie about that.
Why would I want proof ? retards with no GED are eligible for a temp job.
How conceited do you have to be to make daily updates on this shyt like you applied to a law firm..

I have a great work ethnic. Also, my father offered, but I don't want to be a guy that's known for only getting a job because his pops works there. My father helped me with the temp thing. He did enough in my opinion. I have a great father.
You're a moron. You need to exploit your connections to ensure you get that paper. White folks do it all the time.

It be like that, especially in a working environment when there's a group of people that all speak the same language - they're scheming on your ass:yeshrug:

That said, continue working to the best of your ability and if you don't get the job at least you got some experience

So, this week went smoothly and some of last week. Noted, there are 16 Mexicans that work in the labor unit and the shipping office is filled with Whites. Only three guys NOT incliding me (temp dude) is Black. So, today the assistant to the White guy gets a little upset at me for no reason. He told me to go over there with the Mexican guys. I did that and tried to plug up the machine like I always do. The guy said not right now. When the assistant Mexican guy sees me he gets a little furious and tells the foreman. Foreman dude mocked it a little and didn't get furious. Now, I get up 3 AM this morning as always to go there. They knock us off at 10 AM because of no work.

I'll be honest, ever since I asked how many hours I had and it was close to 400 (480 is needed to get hired) sh-t's been getting weird. The crazy part is is that they acted/led me to believe that they were going to hire me. They showed me how to turn on and off the machines and said once I got permanent I'll be working with such and such.

So, I was led on to believe I was going to get something that I wasn't going to get :snoop: Also, the latest dude that they hired CAN'T speak a lick of English. Is it me overreacting or do I have a right to be concerned? I've been told that my work ethnic is up to par and etc. Every job I've held I've received a good letter of recommendation. Granted, on that job temps came there high and cursed one dude out. Not me :jawalrus: This week a dude even gave me a ride to the temp place that's a permanent (black breh). I'm confused.

Never again will I take anyone's word if it's not on paper. I had EVERYTHING ready from my direct deposit slip to give the company I was gonna work for to my finances. Everything and etc I had prepared may have been over false promises and pretenses. Dirty azz sh-t man. My father even told me (he's a foreman) that I may have been led on and I believe him. He's been in the construction business for 40 years.

Everything that I'm asked to do I do it and don't have a temper. Some workers are on their phones when it's against policy not me.
You dumb naive bragging mf I TOLD YOU that it was just BS. You really thought you were about to go from temp to foreman? Are you serious fool?

Man those folks think you are dumb and they fed you dumb lines and you went to the coli braggin.

"He talked to my daddy..."

I told you if they wanted to hire you, you would be hired...

Breh you should never give a fukk about a job. They don't care about you so treat them like a prostitute and maybe they'll keep you. If not fukk em and find employment elsewhere

I never said foreman azzhole. What I said was my father was a foreman and they wanted to hire me as a regular worker.
