Came up in another post, and I said it had to be it's own topic.

Anyone else have woefully out of date company policies? Like no cell phones at work? But half of the websites I NEED to access as part of my job text me 2PA codes that I need my phone to get. Or I am supposed to post to social media. And include photos, even though company policy says don't take photos in the store. And I need to post from my phone, which I am not supposed to be on during work hours. ;)

Funny thing is, HR will issue policy updates all the time, but none of them actually address anything that we actually deal with. Last company changed their employee discount policy, but new hire paperwork still contained the old policy for over a year after the change.

I’m at a small company right now that has changed a lot in a few years, and a lot of information and policies are terribly out of date. I’ve brought it up a few times just to ask, and it's, ‘we’ll get to it later,’ but it’s been a year now. Not feeling like they will get to it until it’s a huge problem.

Yes! It’s so frustrating when policies haven’t caught up with the actual work we’re expected to do. It’s like they want results but won’t update the rules to make them possible. Total mixed signals 😅

Hi, I did interview with amazon.

Round 1: HR round. cleared.

Round 2: Hiring manager round. Went well.

After 2 weeks they said Role no longer available. It was L5 supply chain role. This happened in April. Can I apply again in Amazon? I joined a company 3 months ago, does it look bad in CV to leave again in 3 months? I hv a 6 month gap in career in 2019 due to lay off (covid). total exp 9 yrs. SCM exp 6 yrs.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
