Month: September 2022

So I work for a unionized federal entity. And boy have they dropped the ball. I mailed a resignation letter back in July due to medical reasons. Was finally contacted and told to submit a new one. I physically drove the 5 hrs to submit it in person and had a supervisor sign it. It is September and it still has not be recognized. I called HR and they told me to track down both copies and email then in. I was told they would honor the original date of separation. So I did just that a few days ago. I still haven't heard anything. The thing is….I'm in LWOP status am still being charged for insurance premiums I'm not using bc I haven't been terminated yet despite me having a new job this entire time. My probation at my new job is almost up so ill have new insurance…

This isn't a particularly interesting or dramatic post, I just really needed to vent to someone about this very frustrating situation at my weekend job. I work as a courtesy clerk for a major American grocery retailer in a Midwestern city of about 100,000 people. This used to be my full-time job, bit after getting an office job earlier this year, it's now a job I do on the weekend for a bit of extra spending money.

I am an account director at a digital marketing agency and manage several account managers (who also have teams of execs), and each team has clients they manage. One of my client teams had turnover and so we hired a new Account Manager (around 3 months ago). This new manager was hired from another country and we helped him with his visa process etc, and he is relocating to the UK in a few weeks. In terms of his work ethic, it is strong in that he tries hard and wants to impress me, which is great, but his work hasn't been 100% up to scratch. It's been around 2+ months in and I am basically doing around 90% of his work (leading…

Little background: I work in sales seasonally and have been with the same company for 3 years. We make enough during season to last us the second half of the year without having to get a second job. Decided to get some extra cash for some hobbies this year wanting to work some retail job or something laid back. I have applied to probably 100 places without a call back. Minimum wage jobs I feel I’m extremely overqualified for and not 1 call. I’ve been so spoiled with my other job that I had no idea what this market was like. Maybe I’m being dramatic but damn I feel awful
