Month: November 2023

Today I was let go because a few days ago, I responded to a text from my supervisor, on my day off, “please don’t text about work on my day off”. I’m wildly disrespectful and how dare I talk to a direct superior like that and the handbook doesn’t say anywhere that they cannot contact me about work issues on my day off. A company with 51-200 employees. Volvo car dealership.

Hello, I'm currently navigating a shift in my career path within healthcare. With 7 years of experience in healthcare and a background in healthcare management, program management, and utilization management, I'm seeking a mid-senior level role. Despite my preference to stay internal, I've found that most opportunities are lateral moves without a notable pay increase. As my wife and I plan to buy a home and start a family, I'm aiming for a salary in the range of $120k to $140k. I'm curious about your experiences in applying for significantly better roles and how many applications it took before landing one?

The company that pays higher also asked me if I can tolerate micromanaging. Not sure what to do…

I've been casually searching for other opportunities and there are so many jobs in the past couple months that have no pay info disclosed. It's like all of a sudden companies all in silent lock-step have started pulling the salary ranges in order to find out how low they can pay somebody. It's really discouraging but also this is a standoff: I'm not applying for any job that doesn't list salary ranges, I'm not going to waste my time.

You know, the people who will always say yes and do what their employers want, when it’s not their job but they will do it anyway. That’s one of the reasons employers think they can just ask whatever they want, but goddamn if you will say no to a task that was never your job in the first place, how dare you. And it won’t change unless that mentality will change, which is probably not going to happen. Just a small rant, i think..

I'm simply just trying to find a job that doesn't make me hate my life. Right now I'm just trying to get a simple warehouse job until I start college in the spring. But I can't even get interviews despite having previous expirence working in warehouses. Every job posting I apply to ends up getting 80+ applicants, just for a simple warehouse job. And so far I've only gotten one interview, and I felt like it went well but they never contacted me afterwards. My last job was a desk job, and my supervisor started a “no sit policy”. So I couldnt even sit down at the computer, I had to stand the entire shift 8 to sometimes 12hrs.

My evil side came out today which includes deleting the $200,000 work I did for him… would I be in trouble just for deleting invoices before I quit?

I'm a young female (24) working for the feds, I just escaped the poverty cycle and got my first paycheck as a data analyst. This is the first month of my first job, I love my work, my very small team, and (until now) my job has been in line with the job description. A C-level official in the department (one of the big ones, think FDA, OSHA, etc) just emailed me and said “Hi Abigail! Exciting development opportunity! You WILL be trained in payroll and other administrative tasks like travel documentation.” What the hell?? This isn't what I signed up for? I was hired to run advanced math on big spreadsheets. This isn't an exciting development opportunity, I'm being reduced to office assistant. This wasn't a request, I was just informed that I'm getting my career dragged backward. I'm talking to my direct supervisor tomorrow, how do I politely…
