  1. 2

    I work as an account merchandiser for a soda company, where my job involves physically demanding tasks like stocking shelves across various stores. Recently, I've faced harassment from some store managers, which has made my work environment unbearable. After discussing these issues with my boss, I decided to take a leave of absence to manage my situation better. However, due to a mix-up with our external third party, I never officially went on leave in mid-August. I had also applied for a sales position that would transition me away from large format merchandising, but I was informed that I didn't get the job. My boss's boss implied that my potential attendance issues, stemming from my need for a leave, were a concern for them. Despite an email stating that my leave wouldn't disqualify me from the position, I felt discouraged. Shortly after, I did take my leave, but then I received an email about an HR investigation regarding false allegations made against me by a coworker. I initially ignored the email since I was on leave, but my boss later called me for a meeting with HR, where the atmosphere felt hostile. It's been nine days since that meeting, and I haven't heard back from either my boss or HR, although I'm still on the schedule marked as on leave. I've reached out to a few employment attorneys for advice, but none seem interested in taking my case. I'm feeling quite lost and would appreciate any guidance.

    Interviewing
    Show updates in order

    I recently interviewed for a Territory Sales Representative position at PepsiCo, where I currently work as an Account Merchandiser in Pennsylvania. The interview took place last Thursday with my boss and her boss. I felt confident during the interview, especially since my boss complimented me multiple times, saying things like "very good" and "awesome." I even had the opportunity to perform some of the responsibilities of the TSR role back in July when I covered for someone who called off. However, I'm now second-guessing myself as I struggle with my mental health. I've had some tough moments lately, and while my boss and HR have been incredibly supportive, I can't shake the anxiety about the outcome. The person I'd be reporting to has been very positive towards me, frequently recognizing my efforts in group communications. Despite some of my colleagues believing I'm a strong candidate due to my rapport with management, I'm feeling nervous as I wait to hear back this Friday about whether I got the position or not.
