Work: Bad day, huh?

Bad day, huh?

By evenpoorer - 16/03/2010 05:19 - United States

Today, I was excited to start my new job. It was only when I was leaving after a long 8-hour day did I realize all of the personal documents I had I brought in for paperwork had been stolen. I'm now down a passport, social security card, and wallet. Great first day. FML

Today, after 3 months of job hunting, I finally got a job. But now my birth certificate and social security card are somehow lost, and I can't start until I let them see a copy. FML

Today, was my first day at my new job in a shop. 10 minutes after my first customer leaves I realize she managed to steal $200 worth of merchandise while she had me getting stuff for her from the back room. FML

Today, I was working at the Soup Kitchen handing out special christmas dinners to the homeless. At the end of the day I collected my things and went home. It was only then I discovered that my wallet, phone, pager and (for some reason) my glasses has been stolen. FML

Foolish

Today, I watched as a bin man picked up and threw into his truck the bag I foolishly left a few metres from a public bin before I got on the train. That bag contained every document that proves my identity for my new job, my driver's licence, birth certificate, passport, oh and my wallet. FML

Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. FML

Today, it was my first day going to work with new hours where I'm in the office alone for an hour. I managed to lock myself out without my jacket, my phone, and my keys. It was raining. FML

LET ME IN

Today, I work the night shift as a security officer. I packed my uniform and my stuff into one large bag and left for work. When I arrived, I realized that I'd left something important at home, so guess what it was? My security pass and it was almost 5 minutes before my shift started. FML

Today, I started a new job. I lost my work keys and had everyone running all over the building looking for them. We found them, hanging in the last lock I had used. They now all think I'm a nut. FML

Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML

Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML

You can start a fresh life, change your name, and move to a distant town. You can work on someone else's ranch and feed off their income and at the same time remain incogneto... Unless they stole your green card. Then you're ******.

Your next day is going to be worst. Especially when the identity theft kicks in and your credit score drops to 5.

Have even half of you ever had a job before or are we all under 14 here? -An employer is required BY LAW to use the actual documents to fill out paperwork to show that you are legally able to be employed in the US. They CANNOT and SHOULD NOT ever accept copies as copies can be easily altered. -Not all places of employment offer a place to secure your personal belongings, not everyone carries their purse to work with them and not all people drive themselves to work. Combined all of these things mean that there may not have been an appropriate place for her to leave these types of items. -We do not know if she left them sitting out or if her boss did, so why do we immediately blame her? Many times when I've began a new job I was not standing right next to my boss as they made copies of my documents and filled out the paper work, sometimes they have to go into areas where regular employees are not even allowed to enter in order to gain access to a copy machine or personal files. -Anyone who thinks the green card jokes are funny has no common sense. Someone with a green card would not have a social security card as they are NOT A CITIZEN. Only citizens are included in social security. The only thing that is questionable is that they say they lost their wallet as well... there is no reason to leave your wallet with your boss to fill out paperwork and if you must leave it laying around at work you should really try to find a damn good hiding place or ask a manager to lock it in a safe or in their desk for you.

WTFsGoingOn... do you personally know anyone with a greencard? if you did you would know that yes, they do receive a social security card. i know because my mother, who is a german citizen, has a green card and also has a social security number. how else would the IRS identify her and have her pay taxes? maybe its different for other countries, but i dont think it is.

I remember when I started my job and my manager wanted me to leave my purse in the personnel office that ANYONE (even customers) can walk into. I refused. Never leave important documents out of your sight.
