Okay so here's the story: I am a developer on a very small team for a small company and we are all 1099. This is my first dev job and I've been there about a year. I was given this internal customer support app to work on alone. Fine. But given just one 3 week sprint to do it during which I was on vacation for the 1st week after handoff of the design. Then I got covid. Basically I didn't get it completed in time even though it was a non-essential app and i completed what I could complete without the rest of the api's (which my boss still hasnt given me) the next week. Today my boss has a talk with me about the hours I've billed for Jan. Essentially accusing me of not having worked the hours I billed. Because the code that I did do on…

How many more jobs do I have to interview for before I get a new job 🥲 I do not believe there is a labor shortage given all the jobs im being beaten out on

I play poker with a guy who is a recruiter (mostly IT and developers). I saw him this weekend and he told me some interesting statistics. His company's fill rate (how successful they are a filling a given position) for fully remote positions is above 80% which he says is better than their total fill rate pre-pandemic. He says for positions that are hybrid (2-3 days in-office per week) the fill rate drops to about 60%. For positions that are 100% in-office, the fill rate is less than 10%. No one is willing to go into an office 100% of the time if there is no reason for it. If you're at a job that can be done completely remote, demand that you be allowed to do so. If they refuse, go find a place that is. Make them hurt for workers.

Im rlly fedup of repeating same crap I feel in a jail I get depression and anxiety idont feel free Most of my life is waisted at work

Hey guys. Sorry in advance about this post,it might be long, I am on my phone typing quickly and more focused on getting out my thoughts versus grammer. Today, I got fired from my job. For context, I was the kennel manager at a small kennel. We have been short staffed for months and between staff coming and going, coworkers that missed time with covid, the holiday rush before that, my kennel manager title basically became me being the guy that has to pick up all the slack, gets little time off, and tries to keep things moving efficiently and positive vibes while I am there. (I should have quit months ago tbh). I take all of the shit! Well, side story. Back in early November I still had a co-kennel manager. She was fine to work with, I didnt really have any problems with her, until one day. This…

I can NOT stand when a quality assurance/management person will send out a vague company wide email about some people doing X wrong. I work in healthcare and certain things need to be updated every 3 months not 90 days but our program tracks 90 days so February messes it all up. Whatever not a big deal. SO in February every site supervisor goes in and updates the due date to be 3 months. But don't send a VAGUE email saying “some” people have it wrong. IF I have it wrong TELL me or TELL the person who has it wrong. Obviously every site supervisor thinks they did it correctly or they wouldn't leave the dates wrong. So if they aren't just TELL people who has it wrong SPECIFICALLY. Especially when it will affect our billing. Like how are you managing quality when you do this
