Also I’m mad that the co-op office just does not want to provide any resources to coops.

They’ve started sending out interview offers. But this company really REALLY likes acronyms. So you get told you’re interviewing for stuff like

NAP TKA PSP - ATV QE department

CO4 - Veh dynamic test 2746

I’ve been at this company for almost six months now so I can decipher most of that. But I still know very little about what any of the departments do beyond “Quality” or “testing.”

And other co-ops have been asking the coordinators at this company for resources they’ve provided in the past, like a slide deck with short info pages about all the hiring departments. And they’ve just said they’re not doing that this year.

When asked for help getting more information about the departments, the coordinators directed us to the org tree on the hr website to check the department name. Which I’m gonna be honest figuring out that Quality Engineering is in the Quality Operations Business Unit is really gonna help me understand what they do day to day.

They also linked us to the glossary on the company internal wiki. Now to be fair. I use this glossary a lot. It’s very helpful. But it also hasn’t been updated since 2018. The company has since gone through a MASSIVE restructuring. My department didn’t exist 7 years ago. Plus we have the Pretentious Development Center where every department has dumb codes (like the CO4 from above) and those guys will just use them expect you to know what they mean. They’re all not in the glossary either.

Neither of these are good resources to give to college students who your company theoretically should WANT to retain for several terms and hire after they graduate.

I’m somehow trying to organize operation Get HR To Realize That My University And A Lot Of Other Universities In My Area Require That We Get All Three Co-op Terms With The Same Company And That They Shouldn’t Be Requiring Us To Re-interview Each Term Because Three Guaranteed Terms Is Kinda Industry Standard.

#I’m not done rambling about this #and I technically shouldn’t be mad because I have an offer #but I really got fucked over by their system last fall and DIDNT get a return offer #and then no one realized because I was in the first group with this new system #and so my manager had to scramble to find a spot for me #and I’m pissed about it because like I need 3 terms at the same company to get the coop certification from my university #and that’s the whole coop program THING is that you do multiple terms at the same company #and this company is just going nah acutally fuck you we could drop you at any time because your resume wasn’t that good #and it also sucks because like. literally all the full time people are shocked when I explain this #becuase coop programs have been doing locked in for 3 terms for like SIXTY YEARS #and now this place I guess has decided that they’re gonna make all the coops play games of is your resume good did you reach out to people #first did you network in order to get the CHANCE of returning #plus I’m at basically a branch plant. which means that the main headquarters plants don’t give a FUCK about me. which sucks when #im trying to get a rotation up there and like half them actively think I’m stupid because I’m in the sour #bitch come down here and tell me I don’t know how to do a torque check or crop info out of a presentation I made one more time #like the people at this plant are fine #the white women in Ohio are just trying to destroy the coop program APA entry #also they have a lot of people who are summer interns right now #which is fine I guess but I feel like coops who actually need recurring terms at this company and are going to be here for longer should get #some sort of priority. oh you’re here for the summer that’s sweet. I’ve already been in this place for four months in the fall move aside #I have more experience and will be able to do more because that’s THE WHOLE PIINT OF COOPS #and they’re doing an event to help people get positions for next summer which they’re not even going to do in the fall???#which again #WHY ARE YOU NOT YRYJNG TO RETAIN YOUR TALLRN #OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DELAYING GRADUATION FOR A YEAR SO THEY CAN GET WORK EXPERIENCE AT YOUR COMPANY
