TrueBlue Deceitful practices/criminal tax form behavior

My name is Dylan SAMPOGNARO and I've been an employee with people ready for a year and a half now, never had issues with office employees or tax forms until the Springdale AR branch.

They insisted they needed me to provide tax forms other offices have respectfully recognized my right to refuse and also told me how to put information on form 1-9 which is specified at the top I don't need to do, threatening to remove me from jobs until I comply they're offensive practices, insulting my intellect and due diligence in the process.

Is TrueBlue Legit?

TrueBlue earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds TrueBlue to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 3% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, TrueBlue is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with TrueBlue, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for TrueBlue. The company provides a physical address, 2 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 3 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Complaints boards detected workplace-related services and and offer a range of services to help you navigate the sometimes murky waters of job hunting. From resume writing to interview coaching to background checks, they offer a range of services to help you land your dream job.

Trueblue.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Trueblue.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

We looked up TrueBlue and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While TrueBlue has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 3% of 32 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • TrueBlue protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.

TrueBlue People ready

Hi Mrs. Destinie, either someone at your office is giving me incorrect information or my pay check is incorrect.

The other day I showed up for work but the customer cancel the job. I was told by Stephanie that I only get two hours mandatory pay just for Showing up for work?

Yesterday, I worked at my job, laying iron and clearing debris for my job assignment. Today you also giving me only two hours of pay, different situations.

I was told earlier by Mrs Stephanie that if I actually worked at the job but the customer sends me early that I will receive the 4 hour minimum pay!

There are two options:

1) Show up 2 hrs pay

2) Work for 1 2 3 hrs etc 4 hrs pay

Desired outcome: I want my four hours of minimum pay

TrueBlue True Blue Rewards

I signed up for the Jetblue card at a time they were offering 80000 bonus points and $250 towards your first flight and pay the $99 annual fee and meet the spending amount. All of which I did. I never received the points I was owed and they are now telling me that I never signed up for that program. Their system syas I signed up for 15000 points. Thats npt the program that was out when I signed UP! Thir rep said that program was the exact time I got my card and I know what I signed up for! So basically, I did what I was supposed to do and they now won't give me what is due. Their promotions are a scam! Once I pay this card off, I'm canceling it. They are untrustworty! I should've gotten my United card like I started to in the first place.

Desired outcome: I want my 80000 points.

TrueBlue 72 hours and I still have not been paid from thursday

This company beside having terrible customer service doesnt pay when suppose to. I did a job Thursday of last week. It is now Sunday and I havent been paid yet. I contacted Shaffon (Pennsauken branch) whom I have had previously communicated with about my pay on Friday and was told for the first time that the customer has 48 hours to pay. That was never discussed or made aware prior to that date, which should be in the paperwork that i had to sign in order to start working for this company. I couldnt even take another job because I wasnt paid for the previous job. Gas and the cost of living isnt cheap but to try to make ends meet with this company wont ever happen. People just dont care anymore and I find this appalling! I wouldnt continue to work for this company if they paid me before I did the job. Utterly disgusting and very unprofessional, people just dont give a crap anymore. I just want me pay and I am so done with this company. I will NEVER work for your disgraceful, unprofessional, unorganized company again after I get whats owed to me.

Nothing about this company is professional, I would NOT recommend to anyone and I am reporting this company to anyone that will listen because obviously True Blue doesnt care about people, we are just a number.

When I called to work for this company again, I had to apologize for saying thanks for not helping me because this company doesn't accommodate people that work full time and are looking to supplement their incomes. I HATE dealing with black people who think they have a little power and when it comes to business. They dont know how to talk to people and their attitudes stink because they know if we are calling we need the income. Disgraceful!

Desired outcome: I want my pay!! I will NEVER WORK FOR THIS COMPANY AGAIN, CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO HELP YOU ARE IGNORANT AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

TrueBlue True blue (part of jet blue airlines)

my husband and i planned a flight from Boston to Orlando Flordia to see my grandson's high school baseball week. Jet Blue is always my first airline to check, it is our favorite. Well the cost was very high for a 3 hour flight, $2,200.oo plus my 76,000 points. I thought that i would book a hotel and car rental and be able to use the points for that. I called and talked to a rep. that said that True Blue does not cover rental at this site. When I paid the $99.00 to get the points, there is no mention that only some car rental sites will be acceptable. I fell this should have been explained upfront when a person applies for your card and services .I am very upset that i have points that True Blue is not honoring. I followed guidelines and combined a car rental and hotel, but was turned down. This is very upsetting, I must have tried to talk at least 10 people to apply for the $99.00 card, now I hope they didn't don't want them to be a victim of a company that is not up front with their offers.

Susan Triveri ([protected]@yahoo.com

Desired outcome: feel you need to make the offer clearer, I would like my $99.00 fee returnedIf you will not accept use of a customer points at all airlines this should be information that a consumer should know of.

TrueBlue Simos payroll

Hello,

My name is Brandy Moore. I work at Cabela's DC in Tooele Utah. Last week there was 2 checks that were deposited into my checking account. They second one was pulled out before I could use any of it and there were no transactions pending. So this week I looked in my checking account and noticed that there was only $5.69 in there. I have the notification on staff track that it would be pulled back out. I thought that the check they pulled would be in the account since we get paid every week. The second check was supposed to be for last week. Payroll messed it up now I have to suffer and my utilities will be shut off. Which means my food will ruin and everyone will get sick and that's another bill. I don't like making promises to pay on a certain date and then I can't pay it. My check is supposed to be $407.77. Yes, I'm a little upset. How would you feel if this happened to you. I want my full check in my account. I called HR and left a message and no one has returned my call as of yet.

Thank you,

Brandy Moore

Desired outcome: I want my full check that payroll put in and then pulled back out of my bank. It isn't fair to me to work my 40 hours and payroll to over pay me and then take it back and not put it in the following week.

TrueBlue Lost baggage - failure of person I reported to

In November 5, 2022 I flew from Logan (Boston) to SFO. Although I checked and tagged my bag at the kiosk correctly, my bag went to Heathrow, not SFO.

I arrived at SFO at 1:30 am on November 6, 2022. When the bag didn’t show I I spoke with Jet Blue employee Nicole who was on the lost baggage desk. She grudgingly gave me a form to fill out, but did not keep a copy herself (she gave me the white “station file” copy, nor did she enter the information into the computer.

When I called later I spoke with a woman named Sandra. She informed me there was no record of the issue on the computer and tole me the number is CBAB692512195. The tag number is [protected]. She also said that if Nicole had entered the info into Jet Blue’s computer the bag could have gotten on a flight from London to SFO the following day but it was now too late.

I live 4 hours from SFO so it’s a real hassle for me to drive down and back. I need to know when the bag is coming in, and I need it ASAP as my car key is in it. I had to pay for another week of long term parking because of this totally preventable screw up, not to mention the cost of transportation to get home as I need to be at work tomorrow.

I’ve been a true blue member for quite a long time, but this is a total fail - first with the bag going to London, then the poor customer service by Nicole. She should not be in a customer service role if that’s the level of care and commitment she exhibits.

Finally, when I tried the customer portal I got a message that I would get a response within 30 days. Not acceptable in ANY way.

From a very disgruntled customer,

Michele Robb

[protected]@mcn.org

[protected]

Desired outcome: I want to hear that the bag will be returned promptly.

TrueBlue Non Payment or Inaccurate Pay

I work with the Chattanooga, TN branch and have been having issues for a couple months. The problems started when I picked up a ticket and they incorrectly stated the address. After driving to the location, it was showing as the people ready office. I called multiple times and days after trying to show up every day and click I’ve arrived, but no one is ever in office to answer the phone. They never attempted to call back I had to call constantly or call other branches for any results. After about a week or two I was finally able to reach someone. Jessica (PR employee) let me know they would not be paying me because she was able to look the location up. She is rude, incompetent, and constantly refuses to pay me for whatever reason she can come up with that day. The only thing they were able to let me know is that they are not able to pay me because they messed up the address and were not able to be contacted. I let that go, and I accepted a ticket for another job. The gentleman that created the ticket does not properly create them. He wanted specific workers, but refuses to put their names on the ticket. However, me not knowing and people ready not doing their job I picked up the ticket for a week. And maybe he’s a good paying client, but they basically refused to pay me my allotted 4 hour show up time because he didn’t want me but someone else on the ticket. Jessica seems to be the only person in office and has refused on more than one occasion to allow me to speak to a manager or even give her my message after I’ve called. This morning I’ve tried calling the office over 15 times and no answer. I was told I was supposed to be rerouted if there was no answer, but of course they ask for a voicemail in which they’ll never return so there’s no point in leaving one. I hope Peopleready of Chattanooga is NOT an accurate reflection of the company TrueBlue because they are tarnishing your name. I hope you guess figure it out and don’t brush it under the rug much like Chattanooga chooses to do. I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID FROM JOB YESTERDAY ALSO. Which is the only reason I’ve been calling them and the employer has ALREADY emailed Jessica. But of course Jessica refuses to do the job she’s paid to do.

Desired outcome: I would like to be properly compensated for my work. (Ie yesterday) I would like for your employees to do the job their paid do or get new employees.

TrueBlue People Ready

I use their app called Job Stack to accept work but then I get taken off the ticket. It has happened twice now. The first time was Sisco of San Francisco which was for $22 per hour starting Feb. 10th to now M-f and the second was at 6767 E Main St., in Stockton CA for a construction company for $33.80 per hour working today, 2/14/22 and 2/15/22. This needs to stop-whatever the reason. It's not fair to put a job out there and I accept the assignment and make plans and arrangements only to have it cancelled. If I agree to the ticket and you cancel it then pay me as if I showed up. Because I would have.

Desired outcome: I want to be compensated for show up pay.
