Questions about Schneider's training and pay

Oh, totally. I hope I didn’t sound like I (or he) was soured in the company as a whole last night. Sounds like there was miscommunication between the recruiter and the recruiter he got passed off to on Friday. He still wants to work for Schneider and no one here is super angry or anything. It was nerve wracking last night to be hit with all of that, and a little scary not knowing what to expect in the morning but it sounds like they’re working on something. The TE this morning had no idea who he was and said the list was full for this round of orientation but he was going to work on it. Meanwhile, I made plans to get him home if necessary. Last contact I had with him, was a text he sent after he sent me to voicemail. “Busy in class.”

 

He had no idea how any of that worked. He was told to be on that bus (and in the hotel lobby at 6 for the shuttle to orientation for today) and sent the ticket immediately after hanging up. She told him the hotel info would come later in the day and it never did. She was off on Friday and the recruiter she told him to contact with questions never answered the phone or called him back. He also wasn’t aware that no one was in that office over the weekend. He got on the bus as told. It appears to have worked out, at least enough that he’s in class right now. I have heard that the trainers are all fantastic and can get stuff done so that’s what I’m hoping has happened.

 

I think they must be! I am enormously grateful that someone(s) there got him into class this morning. I'm taking that as a good sign that all things are moving forward and he's where he's supposed to be.

 

Definitely! I think that's what happened, too. Hopefully no one gets in too much trouble. Too dang hot to be blamed for having temporarily spaced out. It'll all get fixed, I'm sure.

I wish he'd known to have that hotel info in hand before getting on the bus. He had no idea that was required info before heading out. With the offices closed over the weekend, there was no one to ask and he didn't want to mess up by not taking the bus. Maybe someone looking to get on with Schneider in the future will be helped by this post.

That WILL be interesting! The email he got telling him to expect the itinerary mentioned all the usual "expect double occupancy", "no upgrades", "no guests", etc. According to the few people he was able to talk to last night, everything is booked around them. So, that's definitely going to be interesting.

As an aside, mail just arrived and he's got mail from the DOT requesting that he authorize the release of his info to Schneider for the job. Going to pass him the info so he can take care of this today, but man...I'll be happy when all of the steps have been completed.
