Sold. And What?!? Continued.

November 20th, 2011 at 07:48 pm

First off, the good news: We sold Car #2. Yay! But we sold it to a dealership for the same amount that we owe. Boo. It was either wait and wait and wait, pay for the oil change, new tires, insurance, extra gas, etc. Or sell it for way less. We took the sell it for less (obviously). It is making such a difference in the budget.

And now… the What?!? News: Like I said in my last post, I was told I failed the drug test, but I don’t do drugs (or prescription drugs, or eat poppy seeds). When I called the HR guy back, he said he sent an email that “[I] passed so they should pass [me]” (whatever that means) and that he’d call me back when he got approval. He also mentioned that orientation was 10 to 2 on Friday. I rearranged my schedule so I could do the orientation, but it kind of suck that it was during my normal work hours.

Next day, he called me back and said I was approved, and that there were two orientations, the second at 5 to 9. I practically jumped in joy and said I would do the later one so I could keep working. He said ok and had me wait for a second so he could write it down before he told me the details of what to wear and bring to orientation.

I show up at ten to 5 and wait where I was supposed to wait. At 5, when no one else was there, I went up to customer service who told me that orientation was to wait where I was supposed to wait, someone was supposed to come get me.

I waited 20 minutes before going back up to customer service. They called the HR guy to the desk. The customer service people (one a manger) weren’t happy to hear my story. I made sure to tell them about the drug test part, too. The HR guy arrived and said that he had just canceled the orientation. He thought that he had called the only person who was doing the orientation. As we talked, me a little upset and confused, him saying that he was going to be in so much trouble.

So as it stands, supposedly they’re having another orientation this week. If I don’t hear from him, I am supposed to call him on Monday by 9. Of course, I’m guessing the orientation will be on Wednesday, when I’m out of town and had asked off as a condition of hiring.

On top of that, when I got home after the major mess up, I had a letter from the corporate office. It said that I never took the drug test. What?!? I can’t imagine what is next. I don’t know what to think about this other than the HR guy doesn’t want to hire me.

I’m half tempted to call on Monday and tell him (or his supervisor) all my complaints, including that I turned down another job for this, and then tell him no thanks.

    Glad to hear you sold the car and I agree with LF this may be more trouble than its worth. Did you check them out with the BBB?

    I hope that the job leads to a bright side to this comedy of errors, right around the corner! As far as the drug test is concerned, at least you have the insurance of knowing that you aren't doing anything wrong and you should pass it without a problem.
