Boss Avoiding Employment-Related Discussion

If your boss is evaluating you on performance, why would they be annoyed when you mention the evaluation or ignore when you express concerns about losing your job? Why don't they want you to know where you stand/refuse to tell you what's going to happen? Is it so they can fire you before you quit?

Do You Research The Company Before Applying and/or Interviewing? Annual Reports?

This is something that I have gotten very used to and it's a bit of a habit. While studying for my fashion merchandising degree we were assigned to do comparative analyses of various retail companies and clothing brands. This is where I was introduced to the “Investor Relations” tab, Investopedia, and the like. It has always helped me develop a better view of the places that I worked with and understand why operations/workplace culture may be favorable or less favorable.

Part time extra cash gig cut hours hard

Been at a place for about 13 months now. Used to be about 6-9 hours a week at minimum wage in 3 hour shifts, lil extra walkin' around money. Past 4-5 months I've been lucky to have 6 hours a month. Business is fine and growing, but I'm getting shafted. I'm turning this in today, I'm over it.

Never think a decision is too cruel or heinous for C-Suites

As someone who has experienced his fair share of the corporate world and layoffs, NEVER underestimate C-Suites ability to make the most selfish and cruel decisions possible. Think of it this way.
