Month: January 2023

Title. Are there any countries where this rule is different?

When literally just applying for a job…especially if I know I don't have one because I've never even talked to a police officer… I don't understand why I'M responsible for that cost if it's for the organization's purposes. edit: I ask bc I was just asked to consent to both undergoing one (fine, working with vulnerable populations) AND paying for it myself. I just said no because I don't see why I should pay for it lol. It also said that this has to be done before being considered for employment.

She is telling that since she allows me to go…

Thought I’d share this as it happened yesterday and I thought it was really annoying. My mom retired last year after almost 30 years with the same insurance company where she was an executive assistant to a CxO for 15+ years. She has an associates degree that she earned in the 80s though almost all her experience was learned on the job. Especially as times have changed so much since the early 80s. When she was in ‘secretary school’ she was advised to learn to give back and neck rubs because the men in the office have hard stressful jobs and need to relax.
