Hey guys, I'm a new poster, using a throw away account because, reasons.
I'm struggling with this human existence and I feel like I can't catch a break. I have nobody to talk to so that's why I'm coming to the good world of reddit.
There have been several red flags with this new job. First flag was being offered less than what the job posting stated. It is an entry-level job where they like to hire new college grads. I have over 10 years of real world, corporate management and operations experience, but no degree. However, much of my previous experience will directly benefit me in the new job. I attempted to negotiate salary, but it seemed like there was just a wall there. I'm also planning to transition into a developer role, as I'm in school for that right now. I brought this up in the interview, and decided to accept the lower-than-expected-salary offer solely because I needed a job, and this one seemed to be a good mix to let me get some hands on programming experience, with a possibility to move into a programmer role in the future, assuming it was the right fit.
Before accepting the job, I interviewed with 2 of their managers, and met with one of their HR managers that same day. Prior to the in-person interview, I had a 1+ hour long Skype interview with their recruiter. When I interviewed (Skype and in person), I kept my small hoop nose ring in. (I'm aware this was a risk, but it was one I was willing to take, being confident in my work ethic and abilities.. ) Nobody at any point raised any issue, comment, or concern regarding my nose ring. I'm now in my first week of the job, and things have been going fairly well. On Day 1 of the new job, they covered their company policies which included dress code, and included mention of no facial piercings allowed. I fully assumed that someone would point out my nose ring at that point, but still, nobody did. I guess I should mention this place is business casual attire. Anyway, today an HR mgr pulled me aside to tell me it's against policy to have a nose ring. This really didn't sit well with me, as it's another seemingly-blatant display of bait and switch tactics. I told the HR person that I wasn't willing to take it out, since I wore it during all of my interviews, and felt like they should have brought it up as an issue well before now. ..... I also segued into reiterating my goals to move into developer role, and maybe since that wasn't customer facing, that the nose ring wouldn't be an issue...
Another red flag was on the first day, the two HR people that were going over policies made a point to tell the new hire group that it is not allowed to discuss salaries with other internal employees. One of the new guys spoke up to say it's legal to discuss salaries, and they can't tell him he can't. The HR person explained we live in an at-will state and that discussing salaries internally is a fireable offense for this company. Is that even legal?
There's some other big red flags, from the CEO himself, but I'll save the remaining details for now....
I turned down other jobs for this one. I have no idea if my nose ring would have been a problem at those other places, but I can say it hasn't been a problem for 4 other jobs I've had since getting the piercing.
TLDR; red flags, feeling baited and switched over salary and policies - straw on the camel's back was being told my nose ring is against policy on day 3 of new job, even though I met with 4 people during interviews and my nose ring never came up. Also, is it legal to fire someone for discussing salaries in an at-will state? Is this company one I should give a shot, or should I be hunting like hell for other work?
I'm tired and stressed -- sorry for this post being super all over the place...... TIA for any replies!
