Jobs

[BassMaster]

Well after an incident at work today, I may be looking for another job. I can't miss my truck payments. I am willing to relocate if it's a decent job. If anybody knows of anything PLEASE help me out. I am willing to do just about anything, I have carpentry/cabinetmaking skills. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty.

Tampa is #4 on the un-employment list in the U.S..., So don't relocate down here unless it's a for sure thing.


What happened at work dude?

What field are you skilled in??

I have no certifications or anything, I planned to go back to school in April but if I lose my job, I can't afford to. Right now im working at walmart. I went to a technical high school, took 2 years of web design, pc support and network administration. Took a full year of Carpentry/Cabinetmaking all 7 classes were spent in the shop (senior year).

I was talking to a manager, co-worker comes up starts talking over me and saying stuff to me, I asked him to be quiet, he get's in my face I told him to back off, he puts his finger in my face I pushed his arm away and told him to never point his damn finger in my face again. My manager pages over the radio for all available managers to the parking lot.. Somehow all the blame is being put on me. His "daddy" has been with walmart for 20 something years and they think hes god.

I had a co-worker do something similar to me with their finger's in my face and talking loud while droplets or water/spit was coming out of his mouth hitting me in the face. I had only 1 witness and it all turned racial on his side. I Immediately called my supervisor and told him. He told me not to worry about it. A few week later, I was called into safety to explain myself. I did and told him I had spoken with my supervisor within minutes of this happening and I had a letter written up and give it to him. They had me to go back to work and I never heard any else about it.

It pay to write a letter, Written letter hold more weight than verbal.. Be careful what you say in the letter, it could be used against you. Make sure you mention you felt threatened by them and moved their arm as a mater if self defense.

If you have lost your job already or afraid you will, get an attorney to write a letter, you might get your job back. It shouldn't cost much for him to write a letter. When WM see the letter head, they might take another look in to the matter.

I wish you luck.

Maybe it's because i'm Latin and my temper is horrible, but that bitch woulda' got cut. Stick your finger in my face and ima' Mike Tyson ya' ass.

The reason I didn't is because my manager was standing right next to me and I NEED my job. I have been trying to find another job for almost a year but nobody will offer at least $8 an hour or 40 hour weeks. I'm making $8.40 been there since November of 09. Hours are getting cut starting the second week of January to about 20.
