I was offered a position (decent salary) this week. (I've been laid off since January). I just called the lady who offered me the position back - she hadn't told me much about benefits. I am not happy at all with the benefits. There would be a 90 day probation period - that is fine (standard). 6 days sick leave (after 6 months!). 2 personal days. No health insurance until September! And the biggest issue - she was not happy at ALL that I am getting married in Sept. I would get 10 days vacation after a year of employment (that's nuts!) and she wants me to tell her by this Friday what my wedding and honeymoon plans are. In other words, I would have to book my h-moon etc. by Friday just for her benefit. Most companies are not like this from an HR standpoint. Another thing is, she asked me if I was currently going to grad school, and I said no - and she was happy I am not currently (though I am planning on it-what would she do then- fire me??). I told my FH and he doesn't want me to take the job. How crazy is that? She was all happy to have me until I said I was getting married in Sept. (which I am CERTAIN) i told her in the intervew process. Would you take the job? (I'm currently temping at a friend's company which I like).

Re: Wedding related job issues!
I am sorry that it didn't work out. Based on this woman's behavior, it is probably for the best, she sounds like she would have been difficult to work for.

Re: Wedding related job issues!
I am so glad it worked out this way, because as I said I kinda got bad vibes from her in the beginning. And being an HR person myself, if you really want the candidate, you work with them and as someone said in an earlier post, the HR dept. represents the company and presents an image - I really couldn't believe that! She said it was 'short notice' (5 months away??) and a major problem that I would be taking off all that time so soon. Get a grip lady - and good luck finding someone to put up with your BS!
Thanks for the advice and comments, made me feel a lot better
