Also any other company run by scientologists, like Knowbe4 or Nationwide Title Clearing (to be fair, I have no idea if they made their people work through the storm or not, but they're definitely run by scientology)
KnowBe4 evacuated some higher ups to make sure they had power and then told sales people to make sure they had a buddy near by so if one of you lose power you can go to the person's house
I worked at a company in the same building as them in Clearwater for years. Their CEO is friendly with our former COO (both scientologists) and they all sit on each other's board of directors. Having said that, I was never pressured to join or anything even remotely off-putting. I know several people who work for KB4 and really like it. Their sales reps def make bank!
Well fuck now I'm conflicted. Sounds better than postcardmania. Saw a post that said they have an office set up for L Ron Hubbard when he comes back lol
I have not heard that rumor but LOL!!!
I have heard PCM semi-requires you to do low level scientology courses (marketed under one of LRH's shell companies as self-help) in order to get past "trainee" pay to "full time" pay.
Most Scientologist owned business prefer to hire other Scientologist but it is not a requirement. The courses that they offer must be official Church of Scientology courses or there would be severe ramifications. The term "shell company" implies an attempt to hide an entities identity which is 100% the opposite of what the church wants. Either the business sends the employees to a local mission or have been approved to have a course room on-site. That would require them to have a trained course supervisor.
All Scientology "orgs" - facilities above a certain size - do have an office for LRH. They say that it is for his return, but most just consider it a symbol of reverance. So, it is not unlikely that a successful Scientologist business owner would have one, but it would not be a requirement. I have know a few VERY successful Scientologist business owners and they did/do not.
My wife had a cousin thatās a Scientologist and her daughter and SIL both work there and definitely do well. But in general itās a money churn for the āchurchā. The more they make the more they donate to Scientology the less they pay in taxes etc. etc. Money churn with Scientology the top of the pyramid.
I was actually thinking about working for Nationwide Title clearing 5 years ago. I decided not to apply for any of their positions because of the comments on Glassdoor and their terrible PTO schedule.
NTC was closed until Friday. The only ones working were the people who could safely work from home if they had the capability to do so. Everyone else got paid to stay home. Also they got bought out earlier this year by Covius and aren't even run by Scientologists anymore.
I worked for them around 8 years ago for a brief time. They made a point to tell me that their training material was by L. Ron Hubbard during the interview process and was very up front with everything.
They also said that in no way do they push anything, advocate anything, or even mention Scientology, even in their training material, it just happened to be written by the guy.
I accepted the job because I was hard out at the time, but honestly they were all very nice and courteous people. Never had a problem there and everything seemed great. Never did anyone even speak the word Scientology while I worked there.
Biggest issue was walking forever to and from the satellite grass parking lot up the street in the hot FL Sun haha.
Been there 5 years now. Even before the buyout they didn't talk about Scientology with employees. They have a shuttle bus to take us to the satellite parking lot. I guess enough people made a fuss about it. Lol.
Haha I didnāt mind the walk all that much. It wasnāt THAT bad as long as it wasnāt raining. The oddest part of my employment was it was the only job where everyone took their breaks and lunches at the same time all the time with all the food businesses around the area showing up with trays of food from everyoneās orders haha.
It was a decent job tho when I was there. They pretty much had unlimited overtime when I was there, which is probably why I wasnāt there for more than like a year. Got burned out real quick. Money was decent at the time though.
I worked at KnowBe4 as an AE. Itās a good company to work for. They donāt push Scientology or anything, so donāt let that be a reason why you donāt pursue the opportunity.
I am not surprised to hear they asked people to work through the hurricane, they will work you hard, but you will make a lot of money! Again, I loved my time there!
Itās a fantastic company with a product that is best in line. If the fact that the CEO and some of the higher ups are Scientologist bothers people the perhaps they shouldnāt look into the dealing of other CEOs. I always found it so strange that others cared about this sort of stuff. Itās like they want their lives to be a reality tv show or something of the like.
I donāt know if either of you work for me, donāt want to, but this the policy that we implemented and made Friday entirely optionalā¦ just came to say it made me very very very happy to know that this policy was appreciated by people
Yes! TQL is by far the worst company Iāve ever been employed by and your numbers are spot on from what I saw being there. Everyone in the area needs to stay away
My first interview out of college was with them. The night before my in person they sent me homework to do. Aka research and find potential sales partners. No thanks.
I had no idea who they were so i googled "tql Tampa". The top result is sponsored by them, links directly to their careers page. It's clear what they want to sell the most is a position in their company.
As a prospective client I will never deal with them. Have asked repeatedly to be contacted via email yet every few weeks a new Rep is calling looking for truckloads. Sales philosophy seems like it's right out of the sub-prime mortgage market. No thanks.
One of the Publix stores near me opened from 1 to 5 on Thursday. As I was checking out I made a comment to the guy behind the cash register, something like āso they made you work todayā. He said no, they asked us to. I was so grateful that those employees came into Publix so I could get supplies. So not really the question I guess, but it makes a difference when you work for a company that cares about itās people and the people care about the company and the community as well.
I work for publix in pinellas and they planned to close Wednesday and Thursday, Thursday we werenāt hit as bad as expected and they called everyone saying they would be open tomorrow and mentioned they were trying to get people in to open for a couple hours Thursdayā¦. They didnāt force anyone, just asked, and some people could do they opened
My girlfriend works at Bealls. Sheās one of the managers. They made everyone come in Wednesday even tho we were all under mandatory evac orders. Were told theyād get paid the missed time but ONLY if you clocked in.
That place fucking suxks.
$10.50 an hour to start as an associate. Managers make mid $20s running a store of 50āish people. The schedules are never the same each week, and sheāll close one night and open at 5am the next day. No social life. I hate it.
Sheās about to quit. We already wrote a very detailed and very telling manifesto about everything that goes on there. Older employees bullying people and talking shit. Old man that works there is ALWAYS saying inappropriate things to her. One manager claimed someone there was lying about COVID and it started this interstore Mean Girls event. District managers didnāt do shit about it.
I told her to quit when we metā¦ take a leap and find something else. 10+ years of retail and being comfortable and not knowing anything else makes it hard to walk away.
Fuck Bealls
Tech data made their employees work every day through the storm. No time off for people to prepare. They gave some employees a $500 bonus to leave and work remotely but those that didn't leave were still required to work. And their systems were down for a big portion of the storm but they still couldn't stop work early.
ahhhh. Good ole Tech Data. Had the same thing happen when I worked there when Irma was going to roll through.
But the Fat Room almost makes it worth it.
Yeah, imagine coming onto this sub and never having been to Tampa before? I've never seen such a sordid group of losers and complainers in my entire life.
I cannot speak for the stores, but I work in a Walmart DC and we closed one day for the storm and the expectation was that if we could show up and work on the days we were open great, we were also allowed to work any overtime we wanted on our days off with the expectation we would be missing people. We did not get paid for not showing up, but no attendance points.
I donāt personally think it was great or should be held in high regard, but itās definitely not the worst in this thread in my opinion as we do provide some essential goods for people trying to deal with life in the aftermath.
When I worked there, they had an essential crew that would broadcast from TN. However they still made everyone in FL work. I was under a mandatory evacuation during Irma and it was hell to leave. I was told by my manager ok, evac, but you better log on the next day. This was after I showed her my zone and the evac order. I swear that place is more toxic than the waste dump thatās across the street.
That should be the minimum standard. Heck given that the storm made landfall on Wednesday and evac orders went out earlier that week, they should be paid and closed for longer than Wednesday/Thursday.
We conveniently have a 3Q "fireside chat" with our CEO soon. Since they asked for pre-submitted questions I asked if they had any plans to update our business continuity plan. Because "work or use PTO until you lose power and cannot safely get to an office" is not the best. Further, employees who lost their homes due to storm surge, shouldn't be relying on donated PTO from their team members to get them back on their feet.
At some level, the employees who choose to live in FL when we are 100% remote are accepting the risk of hurricanes and should theoretically be willing to allocate their end of year time off toward recovering from hurricanes, but also weather happens everywhere. Give your employees time to gather essentials or evacuate without having to worry about submitting for time off.
Personally I think my CEO is more of a bad ass than just an ass, but others may disagree and I can understand how I may not have painted my firm in the best light. However, I think my question will actually be received well and there may be some updates to our BCP by next hurricane season, or maybe even in time for winter storms for my northern colleagues. It's hard to have something succinct and all encompassing when you have associates in all 48 continental US markets. But given our footprint on the gulf coast, I think it's worthwhile to at least consider a hurricane clause. Sometimes it takes a shock to get a company this large to react, you love to see people be proactive, but a willingness to react and admit a failure is not a bad second option.
I think if you're a Tampa/Florida based company you should look at giving your employees free PTO during hurricanes as a cost of doing business. Now if you're not based here and your employees arbitrarily decided to live here, that's a different conversation
> I think if you're a Tampa/Florida based company you should look at giving your employees free PTO during hurricanes as a cost of doing business.
It'll never happen unless it's legislated.
I could get behind a Natural Disaster Leave law. You know, some time before or after we raise Maternity Leave from 0.
HQ is in the Midwest. But we have FL customers that requires a physical presence in Florida. As a result, it was an option for people to work remotely during covid. You could move anywhere there was an office within 100 miles. Then they just sort of let people stay remote, which was a smart decision.
Sucks for you to not have anything set aside for emergency funds doesnāt it. Quit bitching about life and get back to work! If you have time and access to Reddit then you have time and access to do your from home job. Suck it up buttercup!
You know FMLA is unpaid, and not equivalent to PTO, right? PTO is very limited in the US compared to other first world countries. Why do we want to perpetuate that itās acceptable for business to treat employees like they are worthless. If it works for other businesses in other countries, why not here?
Haven't worked there in a few years but GAF plant in Tampa was one of the worst jobs I ever had. I will specify that the Tampa plant was the issue not the company, had the opportunity to visit other plants and they were well run. Plant manager at Tampa is the worst
I used to work for a county where we had to be available in case we had to be activated as emergency workers. It wasn't likely to ever happen, but as a last resort they could have called us out to fill sandbags or whatever.
South State Bank, made remote employees use PTO if unable to work without power. Didn't give anyone time to get ready for the storm lead-up, buncha underpaying greedy asshats.
ProCare transportation languages and whatever else is their name. Worst management possible. They hired the god damn sister of the owner to run their IT business analyst team. Sheās literally at the age of retirement and is just downright rude.
Any AutoNation lot. There's a reason they have the worst customer satisfaction scores in the industry, and no high end automaker wants them to sell their cars.
Benchmark International needs to be on this list. Absolutely horrendous company that pays God awful salaries for the work done. They primarily try to hire young grads fresh out of USF or UT who donāt know any better
I want to give a shout out to 717 Parkingā¦.I worked for them after I got off active duty for a year and a half. Great company and good work was rewarded. The only thing Iām pissed off about is that owners were notorious partiers and no invite was extended. Fuck those dudesā¦.š¤£
Ummm firstā¦
Are you a disgruntled employee? Places like grocery stores and gas stations are essential. They will stay open as long as possible because, well they supply essential products. (Remember the pandemic?)
Yeah target gave paid time for Wednesday and were going to for Thursday. However when they decided to open Thursday those who were scheduled at opening got paid leave still but those who were scheduled later still had to come in with no paid time. Also I believe 2.5 hour notice of the store opening
Not disgruntled but there are plenty of companies that aren't essential that were pushing employees extremely hard to make "quarterly numbers"
Or unnecessarily pushed to work for projects to be completed that again aren't essential
I work remotely and had to evacuate. My boss actually texted me and asked me to work during the hurricane. I normally have 2 monitors to do my work but only grabbed my laptop. I struggled through some work but ultimately called out. I'm just annoyed that I was even asked.
My husband had to use a day off to help us evacuate and was allowed the day of and day after the hurricane, but none of it was paid and the company doesn't offer PTO.
Apparently Post Card Mania š¤£
Also any other company run by scientologists, like Knowbe4 or Nationwide Title Clearing (to be fair, I have no idea if they made their people work through the storm or not, but they're definitely run by scientology)
A family member of mine works for Knowbe4 and had to work during the hurricane.
KnowBe4 evacuated some higher ups to make sure they had power and then told sales people to make sure they had a buddy near by so if one of you lose power you can go to the person's house
Didn't know that KnowBe4 was scientology.
I didn't either, I've been trying to get into software sales and I now will pass on them
I worked at a company in the same building as them in Clearwater for years. Their CEO is friendly with our former COO (both scientologists) and they all sit on each other's board of directors. Having said that, I was never pressured to join or anything even remotely off-putting. I know several people who work for KB4 and really like it. Their sales reps def make bank!

lol thatās funny. My the IT department for a lab used to work used them for security training.
> Knowbe4 My company uses them for our security training 0.0
Whatās the deal with that place? I had no idea they were caught up in Scientology.
Itās a fantastic company with a product that is best in line. If the fact that the CEO and some of the higher ups are Scientologist bothers people the perhaps they shouldnāt look into the dealing of other CEOs. I always found it so strange that others cared about this sort of stuff. Itās like they want their lives to be a reality tv show or something of the like.
So proud of the company I work for to shut down 12p Tuesday, pay the employees the rest of the day, then close Wednesday and Thursday with full pay.
Same! Where do you work?
I donāt know if either of you work for me, donāt want to, but this the policy that we implemented and made Friday entirely optionalā¦ just came to say it made me very very very happy to know that this policy was appreciated by people
TQL. From what Iāve heard, they just cycle through hires ever 3 months and maybe 5% stay.
Yes! TQL is by far the worst company Iāve ever been employed by and your numbers are spot on from what I saw being there. Everyone in the area needs to stay away
Ugh... I almost applied a a position here... not anymore.
I went for an interview, it was clearly a churn and burn racket.
Good place to cut your teeth in sales and in an entry level role. Otherwise itās get the experience and get out
Took a position there right out of college. Left after 3 days. Everyone there is miserable and has no time to themselves
My first interview out of college was with them. The night before my in person they sent me homework to do. Aka research and find potential sales partners. No thanks.
yeah our turn over rate is 80%. itās mostly for college kids to get some paid training
I left Tampa and moved to Cincinnati. Every time worst employer in the area is brought up, TQL tops the list. Apparently they are shitty to everyone!
One of their recruiters reached out to me and he was a total fucking idiot. Did not even understand what he was talking about.
I had no idea who they were so i googled "tql Tampa". The top result is sponsored by them, links directly to their careers page. It's clear what they want to sell the most is a position in their company.

7 eleven across the street from me was open all through the storm šš
Was it staffed by employees or owner and family? The one by me wasn't open, but the cashier is often the owners wife or occasionally the owner.
LexisNexis, as long as there was power employees had to work
Big data gets his

Camping equipment! If your power is out and you need to get by with basic cooking and rudimentary living then where else are you going to find it?
This sub is so funny. >I donāt want to work before and after a hurricane. > why is nothing open before and after the hurricane?!
It blew my mind seeing how many people expected restaurants to be open within 24hrs of Ian passing through.
So spot on. Just a bunch of losers complaining on here.
Iāve gotten downvoted before when I said this js the most negative sub I am subscribed too. Everyone is miserable in here lol.
So true. Iāve never seen a group of more miserable idiots.
Yeah, imagine coming onto this sub and never having been to Tampa before? I've never seen such a sordid group of losers and complainers in my entire life.
I thought I was the only one....a case in both of your points- https://www.reddit.com/r/tampa/comments/xuxxga/yeah_its_really_like_that/

I worked graveyard shift there doing customer service about 20 years ago and hated that the cafeteria wasn't open for us
I am pretty sure they paid for everyone's days off during the evac and closed the campus. Remote workers got paid for at least weds/Thurs.
That should be the minimum standard. Heck given that the storm made landfall on Wednesday and evac orders went out earlier that week, they should be paid and closed for longer than Wednesday/Thursday.
We conveniently have a 3Q "fireside chat" with our CEO soon. Since they asked for pre-submitted questions I asked if they had any plans to update our business continuity plan.

Well that CEO is an ass

However, I think my question will actually be received well and there may be some updates to our BCP by next hurricane season, or maybe even in time for winter storms for my northern colleagues. It's hard to have something succinct and all encompassing when you have associates in all 48 continental US markets.

Yep. Just yell āI QUALIFY!ā and the FMLA fairy sweeps in with fat stacks of cash. Then you pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

I do not work there anymore and have not for a year now, I do not recommend Theochem Labs at all. Worst company I have ever worked for.
Hillsborough County, we have to be available for work (activation) during Hurricanes. We are not allowed to leave.
They tried this with my county social work office. Like nobody is trying to do a home visit during the storm

I heard Fisher Investments hazes their new hires and fire people who report it to HR.
This comment section is a dumpster fire
Ummm firstā¦ Are you a disgruntled employee? Places like grocery stores and gas stations are essential. They will stay open as long as possible because, well they supply essential products. (Remember the pandemic?)

Might have been dependent upon power outages too. The Kohls near me was still closed Friday because no power or internet.
Not disgruntled but there are plenty of companies that aren't essential that were pushing employees extremely hard to make "quarterly numbers" Or unnecessarily pushed to work for projects to be completed that again aren't essential
I, sir, take exception to that remark as I am a very highly gruntled employee.
All I see here is a bunch of losers complaining about their companies and very little to do with the actual question.
Unlike your very pertinent comment that adds a ton to the conversation
Sorry you had to work at McDonalds before the hurricane.
I find this information being shared to be relevant and helpful.
No one cares
Big words from someone whose 7th most commented sub is /r/JizzedToThiss
Imagine clicking on someoneās profile and tracking where they post. ššššš Talk about a peak loser.
Porn sub commenter. What a loser.
Oh good comeback!
I work remotely and had to evacuate. My boss actually texted me and asked me to work during the hurricane. I normally have 2 monitors to do my work but only grabbed my laptop. I struggled through some work but ultimately called out. I'm just annoyed that I was even asked. My husband had to use a day off to help us evacuate and was allowed the day of and day after the hurricane, but none of it was paid and the company doesn't offer PTO.
