MRW I complain that I can’t focus on what the person in my insurance customer service call centre is saying because I can’t hear them over the background noise of everyone in their office, and that I think they should all just go back to working from home

I had an interview at 10am. I drove 36 minutes to get there. It was good pay, better working hours, and the manager seemed excited about my resume on the phone. I get there at 9:50am. They said the manager wasn't in yet and they don't know when she gets there. I waited around until 10:04.. Then I left. nObODy WaNtS tO wORk. I just accepted a job at another place today. 3 minutes and I'm out…sorry not sorry. (If I really needed that job, I probably would have waited 30 to 45 minutes.) But I didn't.. How long would you wait? Edit: So I actually waited in my car while I was typing this for 50 minutes. I went back inside and the manager still wasn't there🤦‍️🤦‍️🤦‍️🤦‍️🤦‍️

Wage = “small part of a bigger package”

No Comments on Wage = “small part of a bigger package”

My boss took me out to lunch yesterday. The company is trying to hire another person for a different location and she was shocked when they held open interviews and not one person showed up. She said she was mad that HR put the hourly wage ($16/hr for a job that “prefers” a Bachelor's Degree) on the ads for the job because “the wage is such a small part of a much bigger package” and then proceeded to go on about how we have great benefits etc. While I wanted to scream I reminded her that “I get that we have decent health insurance, but also my bank does not accept Blue Cross Blue Shield as payment for my mortgage.” Wage should be a large part of the overall “package”. It's like… Why I drag myself to a pain in the ass job every morning. End rant.
