My first day, I realized my new boss was toxic AF. That Friday I quit to pursue an offer from Google.

It was a staffing agency and we were required to be at the office at 7am SHARP which I didn’t know until my first day. This is the text I got my second day on the job. It we paying 55k in base, only 5k more than my previous role. Somehow by some “divine intervention” as Samuel L. Jackson would say, Google made me an offer that week too. For 105k. My friends and family didn’t even ask how my first week at the new job was going because they were so happy for me about Google. That Friday, I showed up to work 20 minutes late. Boss called me to his office, privately reprimanded me with a slideshow about professionalism, and sent me back to my desk. One hour later, I handed him my resignation notice. Again, this was a Friday and I started the job that Monday. The color of his face as it filled with blood was oh so satisfying. Current TC: 135k ETA: We we’re required to be in the office at 7am PST. This text is a few years old and the screenshot was taken from the east coast which is why it is showing 10am.

Lol why the hell it is toxic in asking you to come at 7am... there are some jobs that require shift based and need the presence ontime. Agree that its extreme in asking you why you not there at 7.01am though

You were working AT a staffing agency? Or had been placed at a customer site by a staffing agency?

Microsoft blackb€ar OP Sep 13, 2022

At the staffing agency as in AT

Name and shame the agency. Also, what role? 55k seems very low

So OP you're a TVC at Google? Doesn't sound like a SWE role.

Microsoft blackb€ar OP Sep 13, 2022

Yes, this was for a TVC position at Google. No, this was a tech recruiter role.

Why are both texts on the left half side? This thread doesn’t even make sense.

Microsoft blackb€ar OP Sep 14, 2022

It was a group text. Those were my coworkers responding.
