Month: February 2023

I’m don’t know if this belongs here. If not, please feel free to point me in the right direction. I have a loooong list of things to do as the only CSR in our office. I do 90% of changes, I am first on phones, I reach out more than once to clients who are late on payments, communicate with mortgage companies for homeowners, my boss sends me more than half her emails from clients and underwriters, I am the only one in the office who takes care of beginning of day tasks (which are follow ups for clients sent by corporate for agent’s offices to complete.) I could keep going but we’d be here all day. I finally got to a point I can complete most changes with clients while on the phone with them. (Add cars, switch out cars, add/subtract coverage, etc.) So that’s something I was thrilled…

Summary: “Fatu Asuafi was evacuated from the roof of his RSE accommodation last week – over the weekend he was out helping others clean up after the cyclone and today he is back at work picking apples.” I hate the glorification of returning to work after traumatic events. Give the man some time off. ​ EDIT: RSE stands for Recognised Seasonal Employment, which I won't even start on here…

I’m posting on behalf of someone else. Hopefully this isn’t overly generic but I don’t want any traceable details. My friend is at a work from home job he hates and feels routinely belittled at. He is on probation as he just started three months ago after a long time of searching for a job. He has gotten reports that he is doing poorly and just saw his job reposted on the job site that alerted him to the job in the first place. The probation is supposed to end next week but hasn’t gotten any formal notice and isn’t able to get in touch with his boss. Is there any benefit to waiting it out for legal purposes? Or should he cut his losses and proclaim this Friday as his last day to eliminate the mental pain and discomfort? Also within that time he has an opportunity to do…

I work in education and I don't make much money. Currently my take home every month is around 1800. I have been in this job for 2 years. I also have a chronic pain condition and, in America, you have to be with a company for a year in order to get protections and access to FMLA. My health insurance is also pretty good with my job and covers my 4x/year neurology visits. So trying to get a new job is pretty challenging. I also have 55K in student loans that will be forgiven if I can stay in the education industry for 10 years so that's a big incentive. I've been attempting to get a part-time job to help make ends meet but haven't gotten any interviews. I am free nights and weekends. I even got a rejection note from Kroger. I've tried editing my resume different ways, including…

The devil convincing people he didn't exist, but I disagree…it is minimum wage jobs expecting maximum effort
