Although I'm posting from an alt account, I've been lurking here for several years; from the time I was an associate-level employee to, now, a CEO of my own business. I own a small-mid size company that employs over 100 people of varying experience, ages, and incomes. I've been in business for 5 years. Historically I utilized this sub as a method of entertainment and venting. This sub's utility, over time, has transitioned to a tool for anticipating the perspective in which my staff may feel about or respond to operations, management, and policies. Although I appreciate this sub as a platform to vent and learn, it has, IMO, transitioned to a sounding board and lacks input from diverse, necessary perspectives. While many of the scenarios posted on here are unprofessional or unethical, many likely have rationale behind them that I feel many users would benefit from context. I thought…

I have interview for a medical sales position tomorrow, and I’ve never had this big of a job, and something that pays as much. What are things I should pay attention to the boss asks or implies during the interview?

They moved me to another department. I liked the previous one, i hate this one. In the previous one i was hired through an intermediate company, in this one I'm hired directly by the main company. I'm young (24) and I'm just trying to make some money in this company near home while I'm pursuing something else. I really need the money. This new department is more technical (previous one was logistics). There's much stuff to learn and the environment is a bit hostile. The work is not smooth like before, I don't like the people and i feel excluded. Every day is a challenge, every morning is very hard. I look forward to the end of the shift since the beginning. How do you cope when you feel like this?

An update to a previous post of mine. So today I went to a doctor's appointment. I had okayed the time with the onsite supervisor and left a note on my desk before leaving. Well, I just came back to my desk to find an email from my manager (offsite) that someone had seen the note and told them, then they checked and realized I hadn't clocked out (I had forgotten to as I was running late for said appointment.) There were no urgent emails or messages on my desk phone, I was narc'd on as I had feared before. Now what?
