I need some opinions here. Had a couple virtual interviews today and the last one, the primary guy asking the questions started to cut in and out of the meeting. I mentioned this and it got better then it got really bad and I couldn't hear him at all toward the end of the call so it became kind of awkward. Do I blame him and possibly just ghost on the rest of the interview process? Or is it not his fault, just an internet glitch I should ignore?

Hello! I’m new here and to Reddit in general. A friend recommended I post here for some help. I work in a call center taking health insurance phone calls. I have an important doctor appointment coming up in 4 weeks. I am currently in training again because I’m being moved to a new department. On the date of the appointment I will be out of training and in nesting taking calls. I reached out to my supervisor today to let her know about the tardy and what do I need to do in order to have it excused. I told her I would have the doctors note and be calling our attendance line in accordance with our attendance policy. She let me know that the tardy will not be excused even with a doctors note. What should I do, where do I go from here? I’ve looked at our attendance…

Found out why I'm not being called in for sub teaching work after I sent an email asking why I'm barely getting called in after the New Year. It's because some folk on their list are turning up each day, even if there's work or not, and getting stuff on the spot so monopolising all the cover work that is available. The school knows fine well they've got fully capable others on their books but giving them little to no opportunities. I live 50 minutes away from the school so getting there for 7.45 every morning isn't really possible, especially given my sleep medication. So tempted to call it out and quit by sending a frank email to the principal, it's my only source of income at the moment given that I'm unable to get Student Finance due to some bizarre Brexit rule. Tempted to drop my teaching career entirely…

I've been doing art since 2017 but only now i started working as a freelancer artist. But this is just to make some extra money while looking for a job as an electronics technician. Last week i had an interview and the interviewer (somehow) found out that who i am and because of this i didn't get the job. Is there anyway to avoid this? I already use an alias and never mentioned it on my resume.

Work for a multi-billion dollar telecommunications company as a sales associate with one other associate. This associate and I run the store. Management is 2 hours away. Our store made the #1 sales store in the region for January. Associate got a letter from regional (5 ranks above ours) thanking them and them only for placing our store in #1 ranking. Literally nothing said to me. We have equal responsibilities. I make sales. I manage paperwork, process bill payments, troubleshoot, clean, keep customers satisfied (or at least convince them that they’re satisfied), set up trouble calls, build customers accounts, track my interactions, etc. Also did some math and found that a month worth of met quota sales pays me out $390 for the month. The company makes $25,000 a year for that month of subscriptions. I’m awarded $4k a year in commission if I meet 12 months quota compared to…

So I got a job with this non-profit that basically outsources film instructors to youths. Once a week, I go to my local youth center and assist kids in producing film/video related stuff. The organization I'm employed by is egregiously disorganized. When I was interviewed, the time and day of the interview changed 4 times before the interview actually happened. Then there was “training” I had to do (which was also rescheduled 4 times, per their problems, not mine). After my first day, the HR person reached out and asked how it went. I replied that it was more of an improvised position than I anticipated, but I'd get over it. I also mentioned that one of the instructors at this youth center had a problem keeping his mask on (this guy is paired with my group for whatever reason). I mentioned that this was a health issue that I…

I’m not sure if this is the best place to go for advice, but with everything I’ve been seeing about working in this country, I’m a little nervous to start out. I just got a part time job as a janitor at a local convenience store, and I’m wondering if there is anything I should know that I don’t already. So if anyone has any advice or tips to give me, I’d greatly appreciate it 🙂

I've had enough! I currently work in the hospitality industry, I'm work on both bar and on the floor at whetherpsoons. Earlier I had a full blown panic attack and my manager essentially told me I need to stop and basically threatened my job (not outright) but it was heavily implied.
