Company Employment And Assessment Policies?

Here is the story. I will try to be as complete as possible but a thousand words goes pretty quickly. About 6 months ago I reported what I perceived to be a problem with my sections’s productivity (or lack thereof) to my supervisor’s boss. That person agreed that productivity was lacking and asked for my opinion to help the situation. I was given significantly more involvement in operations. I then found out that my supervisor’s boss was transferring to accept a huge promotion and the then-VP was likely being forced to resign. Then, my performance review came around. Not surprisingly, my boss gave me a poor review. I contested talking to both my supervisor’s boss that was leaving in a week and the incoming VP. My boss could not adequately defend his position and so my boss was ordered to rewrite my review to mine and the VPs satisfaction. While this was going on, I found out that my wife was pregnant so wanted to discuss benefit election changes with the director of HR. TBC.

1 Year Before I Get Health Benefits?

“During your employment you will be able to participate in certain company benefitsupon completion of service requirements.These benefits include: medical insurance, 401k, paid time off, and an employee assistance program. Further information reguarding these benefits will be furnished for you at the start of your employment” She sent that out about a month after I started…she said 2-3 months before health kicks in…now she says 1 year…I am on Salary. I live in NYC and we do that Paychex HR thing. And I am VP of Sales. Is a year normal…or is it b/c they know my wife has cancer?

Should I Call Them?

i’ve been waiting 2 weeks to hear back from a job that i went on an interview for. i had been corresponding with 3 people (Corporate HR, HR Assistant and the VP). I sent the HR Assistant (who had initially called me and who i met with first) a thank you email after the interview and a follow up email today, just inquiring if they had made any decisions. someone from the company called me back this afternoon, but i missed the call. they did not leave a message. should i call them back or wait to see if they will call again. i don’t want to be too pushy or annoying because i’d really like the job. if i call back, i wouldn’t know who exactly to call because i don’t know who called me (the number that showed up was the main line). what to do?

Just Passed The Phr (professional In Human Resources) Exam…?

Been at my job for a year and they paid for it. I need more money though. However, I get 22 vacation days, 3 personal, 15 sick, and we’re closed for two weeks at the end of the year and it’s paid.
I want to take my career to a higher level but I am not sure that I should stay at my current job. They just got rid of the VP of HR and we’re being restructured. Should I stay on for a while or start looking?

Do I Have A Chance At Managing Francesca’s Collections?

I recently applied for a job within the same company I worked for last year. I tried to leave on good terms but I wasn’t getting the promotion I deserved because the Manager wouldn’t budge or help anyone grow, and eventually threatened to fire everyone which is why I left. The Manager recently quit, and now the position is open.
I have the minimal skills required, but everyone in our region liked and respected me, and I know all the ins & outs of the company and they would have to do minimal training. I have been connecting with as many former co workers as I can, including the VP and HR manager as well, because I badly want this job, and I have expressed this to them through emails. Is having the drive and passion enough?
Do I have a chance? Any words of wisdom?
*Anyone working for Francesca’s Collections put in a good word for me!*

Nervous About Dinner With Ceo, Coo And Other Employer Dignitaries?

I have been selected to attend process improvement classes with for the next year at my job. I was hand picked by the VP of HR which I am on a couple committees with. After the first night of class, there will be a dinner. At a restaurant. I am nervous about going. Beside being in these classes with managers, and directors, the CEO and corporate officials will be there. I truly feel like I am not ready for the dinner. I have enough to deal with going to class with the managers and directors, but to sit there socially with the group. A couple of people I asked that are in the classes stated that they were not going to be able to attend. I told a couople of people I have an appointment that evening but I may be able to rearrange the time. The dinner is right after a day long class. 8:a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I really feel like passing this up.
