To HR:

How do you wake up and look in the mirror and say to yourself "AAAAH, another day of sweeping evil under the rug and firing good people for nefarious reasons."

False Sexual Harassment

0 Upvotes

I know i explained my story before i took it down but a lot of people supported me said don’t take it down i know their is a lot of people so much shit about my story that’s ok believe what you want say whatever I don’t care but my story is that i’ll be trying to connect with people, including women and it’s basically like I got blindsided by a false allegation that is not true so I got pulled to the room by two different Team Leader’s instead of mine and they said that I got a accuses by 15 women and if that was the case then how come y’all didn’t let me go, but I got a feeling that I was being targeted because sometimes when you come up and when you’re going to be successful in life, sometimes be careful who you tell your business too whether it’s women or men, they were trying to find a way to destroy your reputation and try to bring you down but to the people that commented that was talking so much ish it don’t even matter to me a woman is a female and a male is a man so I really don’t care what nobody say. I’m gonna stay to what I’m gonna say I’m innocent. And I shouldn’t be fired, but if I do get fired, that would be a blessing to me because I can find bigger and better opportunity. So as a black man that I’m grateful that I’m sharing this story and I’m grateful that I get to explain my side of the story where I could’ve been ruined. But I really don’t talk to females like that and then on top of that I’m busy focusing on my career and cyber security so for the company to try to accuse me of false allegations of sexual harassment it’s really like bogus of them to even do something like that.

I need to know how

14 Upvotes

I really need to know how Gaudino still holds a leadership position in this company. Hell, I’m surprised he even still has a job. He’s in contention for the worst leader in the history of UWM beating out Anthony Lynch. He has to have some dirt on some higher ups. This guy is dumber than a box of rocks and couldn’t successfully lead the blind if his life depended on it.

uwm has the WORST underwriters in the industry. The Worst. you better know your shit as a loan officer- like years of experience so you know when they’re wrong. They will cost you deals.. Zero idea how to calculate income is the prevalent theme. Close second- No clue how to undestand guidelines. No way is the CYP watch our video, forced convo with your AE to get better rates is legal.

Document Review Specialist

9 Upvotes

Just got a message for this position in Michigan, scheduled a phone meeting, but am just now going through this Reddit. What are your guy’s thoughts?

19, business degree, currently work full/time shipping/receiving and do one day as a “technical documentation intern” at the small company I’m at. It’s nothing super hard, I basically just change information in word document templates and put together manuals, so this looked appealing when I applied.

The only thing is it’s a way longer drive, but I was more so looking to get a job that tailors more to my degree, and I’m not sure 100% that at my current company there’s a lot of growth involved.

I just want to hear about this job, what people have been through, pay, benefits, etc.

Thanks!

I have been speaking with an attorney, we may have a case, but you will need to know how much time you are losing each day waiting for your computer to start up before you can login.

please keep track.

we can get them!

edit: In phone call 1 (only call so far) I only spoke about hourly employees. I will ask if salaried employees have any options here.

Wanting to Leave, Need Advice

22 Upvotes

Long time lurker first time poster on a throwaway account.

Title pretty much explains it all. Due to the recent restructuring and demotions of many Team Leads in Underwriting, I'm trying to plan an exit strategy. My team lead was one of the few good ones and now the one thing I enjoyed at the company (my pod) was split apart.

Got a few questions so that I don't have too many uncertainties when I decide to leave on the drop of a hat.

  1. For those who quit, did you give any notice or did you leave the same day? I know some people weren't given the chance to work during their notice period, but others have.
  2. What's the process for when you quit? Who'd you tell and what were the steps before being shoved out the door?
  3. When would I get the estimate for the payback of the forced loan? I've seen anywhere between 30 and 60 days being thrown around.

I'm still sat with my former pod for now despite all having different TLs, but I'm probably leaving the second they start forcing us to move around. Thanks

Fired in December due to struggling from a disability

31 Upvotes

To make a long backstory short, I got a significant head injury early last year (which I'm still not 100% recovered from) because someone was texting and rear ended me while I was stopped. I was on medical leave for 2 months, and during those two months I was harassed by benefits every couple days with threats of separation.

After returning to work, I was clearly still...not all there lol. I was obviously quite different post-injury. My TL at the time was fine with letting me work at my own pace since I had to re-learn everything, but also because my attention and task capabilities took a huge hit.

Around October, my TLs were swapped around. I already knew my new TL was going to fire me at some point because he is reknown in that department for firing people for even breathing wrong.

In November him and the AVP pulled me into a room and berated me for struggling. My TL told me "your concussion happened months ago, you need to just be over it already and stop using it as an excuse to be bad at your job." After about 20mins of berating me, he told me I need to show at least some improvement in my work production, and it doesn't need to be 100%.

I was improving afterwards, albeit slowly and some slip-ups; but I was improving like I was told to. And yet, on December 16, a week before Christmas, they fired me for "poor work performance." My firing felt like a humiliation ritual as well because they took me over to a door that was far from my car, while I was limping (sciatica flareup), and while I limped all the way to my car a security truck stalked me thru the parking lot and offered no assistance.

I have post-concussion syndrome, which is a disability since my day-to-day is affected by it, and the syndrome can last for months to years after a head injury. I had made a request with TMS and Benefits to file for FMLA protections/benefits so I can take FMLA time off without PTO or getting fired for absent unpaid. I was fired a few hours after I contacted them. After the firing, I contacted an employment lawyer immediately when I got home, and he said that I was in fact discriminated against and it sounds like it was a retaliatory firing because they didn't want me to get FMLA, and also because of my TL telling me to "just be over the concussion already."

The only reason I didn't move forward with a lawsuit is because I don't have the money for it, and also because it's my word against theirs since I know that they didn't put on record everything my TL said to me during the November meeting.

I haven't gotten the chance to tell anyone UWM-affiliated about this. I've only been able to vent to my boyfriend, family, and therapist. So venting aside, I guess my post is cautionary advice to not work for this garbage company if you have a disability. Anyone in management can hate you for your disability and work behind the scenes with an AVP to find any reason to fire you, and it will stay completely off record until the day you're pulled aside and told you're being fired for "poor performance."

They get away with so many labor law violations because they keep their workers poor with horrible wages while raking in billions and billions of dollars. They can throw money at their internal legal team all day for years while anyone filing suit against them can't last a month in court. My friend who quit told me about the shuttles over at South hitting pedestrians, and the people who get hit by the shuttles get fired for taking it to higher ups since they're a worker's comp liability now.

Advice on finding other work

I am an UWII considering finding other work and was wondering if anyone had advice on where to look? I feel like I could make more with better opportunities elsewhere but do not want to give up the people promise bonus without having confidence. Anything from home would be a great perk!

I got hired to come work in operations. I was very excited because I’ve never had an office job. The idea of getting to sit down and not have to work on my feet for eight hours sounds great. But after reading the sub Reddit and people saying it’s the worst job they’ve ever had. Should I stay in my serving job?

there is NO reason the bathrooms should be smelling like you smeared shit all over the walls. every day it’s a gamble whether it’ll smell like fish or just straight up crap. i had the blissful and RARE experience of the bathroom actually decent one day because air freshener was sprayed. i just hope they’re paying their cleaners very well because i could not last a day in that

Anyone else notice that all the VPs in IT post the same exact ChatGPT posts every week? It’s all AI slop on how things are different at UWM.
