They cancelled my offer. I have 3 charges for shoplifting against me from 9 years ago which I mentioned in advance and it was fine.
In fucked now. Completely and utterly fucked.
Mentioned in advance. Then they pulled it out of the hat at the last minute. That is absolutely gross. If they weren't OK with it, they should have said so earlier - much earlier.
By the way, you can apply to have minor offence charges struck off your record after a period of clean living. Not sure what the period is for shoplifting. Something about the Statute of Limitations. Might be worth enquiring about this at Legal Aid or other community legal service.
Yeah, smells like failing somebody on a drug screen for prescriptions they pre declared. Not cool.
?!!!!!!?!!?! This is unbelievable. Do they do public service contracts, is that why they're so anal? Regardless, how could they tell you one thing and then do another? Aside from being horrific for you it's a waste of their own time and resources too.
I am so, so sorry. Be gentle with yourself today and try your best to focus on the good that you have brought and will continue to bring to your life and the world. This has got to be a matter of messed up communication or legal requirements. If not, then they're not good people... It's not a black mark on your character even if a part of your brain wants you to think it is. We believe in you!
I really, really needed to hear that.
Thank you β€οΈ
Name and shame. We'll all give them a crank call. Arseholes.
What the fuck?! That's unbelievably shithouse. I'm so sorry. Nine years - that's a lifetime ago.
Wtf!! That's so fucked!! At the same time, that's a red flag for them to say they're cool with it and then use it as an excuse. Fuck them!
get your past record cleared then start applying again
and hugs , this sucks,
Oh no. I'm so sorry, for what it's worth.
Wtf? That's shithouse on their part, fkn wot. I'm so sorry!
π Sorry to hear. You don't deserve this at all.
-hugs-
Oh shit. Much sympathy!
Put in around 70 applications on seek and contacted recruiters on LinkedIn.
May as well get straight back into it I guess.
This is true courage. I salute you.

You are a strong man πͺπ½
Got the word this afternoon that my role is being extended for another 18 months. They couldn't swing making it permanent, but we'll look at that again in 18 months' time. No going back to Operations. All Strategy for me!
I've decided Marketing Cloud isn't for me and I think I'll find another job.
Some rather promising Victorian State Government (multiple positions) roles have come up so I'll try my luck
No go with the trial shift today: I have COVID! Yay!

husband insists on playing tv shows with very loud bass sound bar. we have a tiny lounge area and a small screen. I just can't even stay in the same room, even if it's a show I love
it's not immersive, it's unreal and doesn't add to the experience ,
Fark it's cold inside my non insulated house π
Gawd walking to dans for goon just now after shifting those couches to the tip yesterday has roooned me.
Quads are on fire.
On the plus side all the neighbours were out doing their gardening things on the way home all saying hello to eachother so that was wholesome.
Doing overtime for the first time ever this week. Only an extra hour per day but it's really taking it out of me! Little extra money next payday will sure be nice though
It's cold outside, going out in full scarf, coat, beanie and gloves kit today.
What happened to the whether inbetween the extremes?
Hope you brought a bag to carry those in on the way home π
I just found my spare car key, which I lost about 10 years ago! It was in a magnetic keyholder on the inside of the door of my shed in the carport. Now that I have found it I have a vague recollection of putting it there because I need to move the car to fully open the shed door. Obviously this did not turn out to be a helpful move.
Ah the wonderful recollections of putting an item intentionally somewhere only after you find it. How useful is that?
Hiding it so well you couldn't find it!
Got a cold call for a job that's a lot like what I used to do so I'm 95% sure I don't want it, but I've got dragged into a chat with the director on Monday anyway despite telling the recruiter it's probably not for me??
Am bored/curious so I'll go, although I don't like wasting people's time... but geez the recruiter was persistent. I'm sure he must be getting a cut for any interview he scores even though the chance of converting it into a hire is low
Kittenpants was swaying a little while sitting so I was worried about the infection moving to her inner ear. Tied her normal carrier to the pram frame and dragged our butts down to emergency. Yep. Ear infection. They prescribed her more drops but didn't have the ear cleaner wash in stock.
I'm completely wiped out for the next few days, the normal vet and pet shop will likely be shut tomorrow and so I've ordered the ear cleaner wash online and will wipe her ears out with warm water until that arrives. Pet shop didn't have fast delivery... I'm wondering if I should have chanced it in an uber tomorrow morning and just seen if somewhere was open :(
Nothing makes me feel richer than buying something that's hidden behind the counter and only has empty boxes on the shelves
spoiler
Except of course the fact that even a single $1 stamp is hidden behind the counter now
It was only a little itty bitty tiny weenie bit of fluffy wind at the dinner table and I immediately knew that was a mistake.
I've ordered another pet pram to replace the ruined one (keeping the frame as a spare part). Support has been a bit spotty the last few weeks and the little one still seems a bit off, so I want the security of knowing I can get Melbcat to the vet by myself in an emergency. My physical health/ability is another matter but it's much easier with weight bearing wheels. The last pram paid for itself.
Really shitty at that cattery for making me shell out again
1am smoke alarm battery pipping. An alarm that was supposedly serviced in January. Fuck these fraudster companies!
I saw sriracha hommus at Aldi and I wanted to buy it to freak my husband out because IT'S NOT HOMMUS IF THERE'S THINGS ADDED TO IT! π
OPP, how can I explain it?
