[QUOTE="klmno, post: 386862, member: 3699"] HR person is out of state- I think it's resolved now unless boss goes on another tangent. I agree it doesn't take a genius to figure this out but from everything I'm hearing from everyone else who works for this company, boss is not one to think things thru before juimping to conclusions and going off half-cocked. HR person didn't respond to my blunt email right away so I'm assuming she was waiting to ntalk to the partner there and probably my boss, too. They decided they could wait until mid Dec for me to have anything deducted from my check- money to repay them to get on track with everyone else- they will be taking out regular taxes and so forth of course. In the meantime, I found out that I do not have to have a CC at all. Another lady who works there said that she used to use hers and pay everything up front but then her husband got layed off and she had to max it out paying bills (I understand that) so she couldn't use it anymore. She has found the proper way to get everything, including the rental car, paid up front and reserved so it';s waiting for her. The only things not paid beforehand by the company are gas and food. That's no problem and I find that reasonable. Boss didn't know what he was talking about. By this point, I'm not surprised. I do want to get a pre-paid CC but I didn't want it for boss's purposes. This lady said they would have had to tell me before taking the job if it was a job requirement. I told her that was one of the points I had been trying to make. I think under these circumstances, it would not be valid reason to fire someone for not being able to meet job requirements if they didn't even know it was a job requirement until after starting work. But it's a non-issue now. I think at least. My last email to HR person included the statement that I sure hope everything is resolved to everyione's satisfaction now. I think where it went awry was when someone told boss after the partner said not to tell anyone. Someone apparently thought it would be ok to tell boss. It was boss who went bisirk about it. He said "well I didn't get that". Like a big baby! LOL! When they gave me a laptop that just happened to be brand new, he told the IT guy "Do I get my old laptop replaced with a brand new one then?" And he was serious! I'm getting along very well with everyone else- and even boss, too- he's just weird. A felt a thorn in my side though when a young person who has 2 years of technical training said she thought she knew more than people in my profession who have a college degree and a professional license. I bit my tongue, didn't react, held in those thoughts going thru my mind...you ladies would have been proud of me! LOL! So now I will plan trip # 1 and see if I can find a place to stay where I can take my dogs since it's only two weeks from now and close enough to drive to. I guess I have to take two laptops since I can't use theirs to come on this site. [/QUOTE]
