My poor sister is trying to get remote work, and she keeps getting interviews for these jobs that tell her she’s the top candidate, etc. After like 4 – hour long interviews, they always casually mention as she’s leaving that it’s completely in-office. Is this a trend in hiring across the board right now? It feels like they’re trying to swindle her into a job. I was like “BURN THAT BRIDGE FOR THE REVOLUTION” but she does need money for like… living so that might be off the table.

I don’t know what to do. It seems pointless to appeal it and I can’t quit this job with nothing lined up. It’s complicated by the fact that I’m a contractor and not employed directly by the university. This job is aging me so bad, in the span of just over a year I feel like my skin looks like shit and I have more gray hair. I’m almost back to the physical shape I was in two summers ago but not quite up to my own standards, and even just for mental health’s sake, the amount of physical activity I need to offset being at a desk most of the day- even a standing desk, since I’m still inside in this shitty office with no windows and bad lighting/ventilation- takes up most of the rest of my day during the week. Has anyone else been in the same situation?…
I have a ticket purchased for a music festival that my partner and I are making an annual trip for our own sanity and self care. It is over labor day weekend. I mentioned this in my interview, intake with my former supervisor (we consolidated clinics into one large one so new supervisor), as well as our clinical director AND my direct supervisor whom I am licensed under. And he still thinks he can say no when it has been on the calendar from the get go AND approved by every single one of those people 🤣 thanks I will enjoy my vacay for my self care and see you on the 3rd of September! My paid time won’t be used, I was gonna take it unpaid as I sorted my finances to do so already given the difficult health impacts that swallowed my PTO. Like you are losing one…
Every job I have ever had the manager hated spending the budget. Even if you need a new printer or something new for the office, you always get push backs from the manager. Why do they hate spending the budget they get for their departments? Things could be falling apart and they will refuse to spend money.
