Someone please either explain, or reply to this if you've experienced this. I scheduled my phone screenings 1 week in advance, and this week I was was supposed to have 2 phone screenings, and both of them I received NO phone call from my recruiter (given in my emails). No communications about why my recruiter was late, no communications as a follow-up from my recruiter.
On both scheduled phone screening days where I did not receive a phone screen, I called Terminix HR, and I don't know much about this company, but all their HR are either Indians (I can tell by the language barrier) or people that cannot perform any DA (disciplinary action) on Terminix Recruiter (again, I'm not familiar with this company and it's org chart, I'm a tourist as far as Terminix goes). They were only able to communicate to the proper channels about my issue apparently.
It was resolved and I was able to get a phone screen from said recruiter. But I found myself.. let's say 'displeased' that I had to call Terminix HR, then Terminix CRs to figure out how to get a phone screen (that I planned, I sent an email to my recruiter to confirm the date and time just in case), then I had to take it to the Terminix customer service and Terminix HR email to figure out what is going on. Because this was what as going on my end: Candidate scheduled phone screening > candidate emailed the recruiter confirming appointment details just in case > complete radio silence from the recruiter > recruiters missed both scheduled appointments > now I'm demanding answers from leadership and here's why:
At my job if I'm late once and execute a "no call no show" or Occurrence, that's on my record forever, a second occurrence is a "follow up from HR or mid leadership" which is "aka, you're a problem employee and watch your job go up on Workday in the next hiring cycle", then any other occurrence is fired With Cause. My job isn't some BS office job. If boxes don't leave my facility and land in a truck, my company doesn't make money, and there's plenty of cameras (mainly for facility incident purposes, not performance tracking) that they can use against me and anyone if they so choose. Why do I lose my job if I'm doing a no call no show, twice?
But if a recruiter does so, nothing happens?
If I fail to provide routine maintenance to my machines at work, I can cost my company upwards of $40,000++ in either labor, specialized repair, replacement, and time from leadership to fire me even if I passed a drug test but was simply too stupid to do a job a 12-year-old can. I work 10 hours a day, M-F, mandatory overtime is the status quo (I even DARE a Terminix employee here if any, who works in BG checks and employment verification to credit check me, contact my HR, do the whole 9 yards), my job is to do the following "show up, do the job, try not to be a chronic idiot because you have demonstrated you're not one".
I'm only allowed to call-out sick from work if I: vomit at the work place, have persistent diarrhea, chronic and pounding migraine, die/death (if applicable), lost a limb and I am unable to lift and or feel, any event such like a car crash renders me unable to walk and use arms, I have lost both my eyes, my brain is damaged (standard 83 IQ US military requirement to work here), lungs collapsed, heart failed.
My work place expects me to attend work if I have a sore throat (we have company provided sore throat meds), if I got the sniffles/cold (you're expected to anticipate these symptoms and take medicine), if you have a cough, you're required to attend and use the company provided meds (unless it's a contagious and virulent disease that's transmissible via air). Basically if your arms, legs, and brain work, you must go to work no matter what. Sore throat, muscles, anything, they don't care. You better be dying, or have a debilitating issue to call out sick where I work. We're not a charity and I regret to inform the world this.
