Month: March 2022

Recently started a WFH job, I doubt my position will return to office as I was hired specifically for WFH, but things change, I think if anything they’d give the option. Been doing orientation and of course there’s a computer based learning about Active Shooters – who could be one, how to respond, what to do in the situation and such. It really gave me a bit of anxiety. Like, whoa, if working from home lessens my chance of an active shooter, I’d much rather do that. I feel like the learning module gave me anxiety just thinking about it happening. And then I had to realize that an active shooter is a real possibility in todays world and that’s extremely saddening and scary! I strongly feel that if that alone brings up anxiety, you should be able to request and exemption to work from home. Work can be stressful…

Genuine question, anyone on here who is self-employed or knows someone who is, how easy is it to start working for yourself? I'm fed up with working for someone else.

I had my interview with the manager for the job I applied a month ago. I waited an hour for my interviewer to show up. We conducted the interview and he told me he needed someone for a morning shift, to which I said I'm available any day including weekends. He then said he was going to send me an email to fill out background check information so he could review it and eventually put me on his schedule. It's been a month since our interview and I called him three times asking to send me the email and he never did even though he said he would. Idk what I'm supposed to do but I'm sad about it because I really wanted to work for the guy and I feel bad about possibly having to call him to tell him I'm no longer interested in the position.

I'm currently looking at copywriting and editing jobs, and every single advert I read just vaguely states that I'll be: “a vital part of the content development and strategy team” or “Overseeing, conceptualizing, and producing content for all digital channels ensuring customer engagement” Yes, I know this field is about creating digital content, but as someone straight out of university and with zero experience apart from the assignments I've done as part of my education (Media Science bachelor), I would honestly just love a very specific overview of how a workday at this company usually plays out. And I know this isn't just the case for this field of work. It's just how the genre is; completely vague and uninformative nonsense. I wish we could just start posting videos of what the former employee did throughout their day. An 8-minute video maybe. One minute to show each hour or something

I work for a big bank in corporate America and I’ve been with the company for 5 years. I’ve worked my ass off for this company and was promoted to the next level quickly, received an immediate raise for the new position, and yearly I’ve gotten a meritorious raise for my work. All in all I was making about 5-6 bucks an hour more then the position below me. Then said big bank decided to give everyone in retail a raise. The position below me now makes 1 dollar an hour less then I do. They did not take any of my raises into account and now I’m at the starting rate for my position again. Their response? “You got a raise too!” (A dollar.)

So I have been working at home from with a new company for a short time seems to be going ago. I think I got my first red flag Today however. So my work headset got damaged by my rabbit, fair enough my fault I expected to pay for a new one. But because of the offline time I’m not being paid for the day. But still have to go back to work even though the days pay has been lost. Which is what I’m having the issue with So I’ve sourced a new headset, to get started again but for now it’s TikTok While i mull over the Decision to wear pants or not today.

I have worked for Food Lion for about 6 months now. During my employment, I have steadily lost hours, originally getting about 30 a week. This week, I originally received a grand total of 0. Only after talking to my manager did I receive about 12. My manager then told me “to put it into perspective for you, I had 1,100 hours to distribute amongst about 50 front end workers however I saw fit, and now I have about 750 to distribute amongst 40. The only thing I can tell people who are looking to get more hours is to start looking for another job.” I shook his hand and quit. I think I did the right thing, but I don’t know where to go from here. I wasn’t making money there, but as of right now, I’m out of the job. I live in an area where the pickings…
