i’m very new to working in a bank so a lot of it has started off overwhelming which should be of no shock to anyone as i’m typing this. i know nothing about banking yet somehow managed to get hired as an assistant manager. majority of my training is do-it-yourself while my boss doesn’t help me with much of it and i feel like that’s essential when you’re brand new but again, i wouldn’t really know what should happen because i’ve never worked in a bank. to get into it, i’ve been feeling unqualified and that my position requires a specific person with specific characteristics that are “customer obsessed” and everyday i come in to work, i don’t feel like i fit this corporate part. my boss has also expressed to me that “you can change peoples lives working at the bank and when you do, it’ll make you feel…

Link to original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/careerguidance/comments/suee03/should_i_accept_the_counter_offer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf I went into work last Thursday with every intention of saying no to the counter offer that was presented to me. I told my manager no, I told my managers manager no but they kept pushing me. I was in their office for about an hour each (2 hours total) and every time I said no they kept coming back with how great of an opportunity it was, how much I was leaving the department in a lurch etc. so I caved and said I’d stay. They say great, they’re excited to develop me etc. Friday morning I came in and immediately I find out that the promotion that was promised to me will not be on paper, I just have to “trust” my managers manager that he will promote me and give me the raise come somewhere between May – July (at first he…

This happened in 2015, so a long time before the pandemic and I realize things have changed- but as someone who truly loved the company up until then, that’s what showed me the company didn’t care about anything besides money. I’m keeping the details general, but I was an intern who had strep throat. I had “points” against me for calling out for this, and was told if I didn’t come in I’d have enough points against me that they’d have to let me go. I told them I was still contagious and I couldn’t as I worked directly with make a wish children. They said that didn’t change the point system. This was a call-in call out service so I wasn’t talking directly to my bosses. I actually never got to see them again as once I officially had enough points against me I was given 24 hours to…

I worked at a dispensary and caught someone on my last shift with a third party purchase. Wasn’t too happy with the situation as I could have lost my license but I did my job. Today, I come in for my shift and my manager tells me they have to let me go because that same customer came into complain about me. Since they let me go, I called them out for shit as things weren’t communicated with the staff, morale was low and our owner tried to enforce a uniform rule who said “if staff don’t like, find another job”

I recently just quit my job as a call center banker. Everything about the job was actually pretty good. Decent pay, work from home, nice manager. It was all good until they gave me a promotion pretty fast. Then I realized I was trapped. The new trainer was rude and the raise was only .75(promised a dollar btw). After that the job got twice as hard with barely any pay increase. I asked if I could move back to my old position but they said I couldn’t. Every call was demeaning and humiliating. I had to leave which sucked because the positives of the job were still there, they just didn’t outweigh the negative anymore. I have worked since I was 16 and mostly in retail. I just can’t do it anymore. I like working with people, not being berated for doing my job. Plus I realize now that the…

I notified my manager 3 months ahead of time for a small vacation I have planned that I would need 3 days off for. They explained someone else has the whole week off and that they do not approve two people off at the same time, but will discuss this tomorrow. Any advice on what to do? I’m not canceling my measly 3 day trip because they will be slightly short staffed. They can call over from other locations to get help and it’s not like there’s only 1 person working at all times.
