If there is one thing I can’t stand is me having to tell other people how to do their jobs…I had to complete paperwork yesterday for the contract job with the contracting company. I had my passport which the US GOVT gave me as proof of citizenship. Oh no, you need your social security card too. If you actually read the I-9 form then you’d see that no, all I needed was one item from column A…the passport. Even though I had it with me there was no copier in the Richmond office. Technically, it is my understanding that the employer must make a copy by his own hand so that it is “legitimate” and not some forgery I had my buddy do. Of course, I only worked in HR for 5 years and for half of those years as an admin in the hiring of employees. What do I know?
So now, when I ask how I can get onto the contractor’s website to process my timesheet I’m told I have incomplete documentation and when I get that done they’ll still take a week to get me access. It was all I could do to say I had my documentation but A)You are too dumb to read the I-9 and understand it and B)You have no copier in the office so it didn’t matter what I brought with me you couldn’t copy it.
Remind me again why I keep working for these people?
