I'm trying to get a new job because my company is literally deciding to demote someone instead of promoting me which is bs So I'm looking for a new job but indeed is asking for all these stupid tests is there a way to stand out like does anyone just have the answers for all of these or a website to go to that has them all

Just heard from a friend that their office closed all operations for the week of 4th of July and required employees to take 3 days of PTO for the 5th-7th since their office was closed. The employees had no choice but to use their PTO days during this timeframe. Is this a common occurrence in business? I’ve never heard of this and it seems they’re essentially stealing your PTO days since you cannot work those 3 days at all.

Examples include: Managers who refuse to answer a customer’s questions on high-priced products Upper management who doesn’t take the time to understand if their complex order book is easy to read by their customers A business owner who doesn’t take the time to understand his computer software for looking up inventory, or adding information to a website Family members who work for a business and gaslight the new hire for issues that started long ago, that have nothing to do with the new hire Therapists who think they can say whatever they want to their clients, and nobody will know the difference Parents who want their children to go to private schools but then have trouble paying their mortgage Family members who don’t teach their kids financial literacy and have various money problems, even though they have leadership positions in other organizations A pastor of a large church who has…

“You will be fine getting married in your early twenties.” “You could get a tattoo” (instead of trying mindfulness to deal with an issue) “You should focus on your own goals” (despite the fact that it’s very challenging to do so for various reasons) “Just move out and get a place of your own.” (when someone is young that’s difficult to do) “Getting a divorce is easy — it’s not so bad.” “Well, maybe you married someone like your parent.” “Maybe you married the wrong person.” “I don’t think xyz person cares.” “You’re saying you have an illness that makes you incredibly fatigued, confused, and you have pain. Maybe you need some mental health medication to help with that.” (the mental health meds didn’t help my friend with those symptoms) “Here, try this anti-seizure medication for your depression.” (patient tries it and gets in a car accident because of the side effects)…

Cw: rape, suicidal ideation I was raped two months ago, and since then my work performance hasn’t been quite as good. I’ve been hospitalized twice for suicidal ideation, and the day everyone was back at work after the second hospitalization my supervisor and ED had a “pre disciplinary” meeting with me. I’m missing deadlines, they don’t feel confident I can lead projects, my quality of work is lower. No specifics. They said that since I always over perform, I “can’t get away with” not doing as well. I checked all my work and my notes: I was late on ONE MINOR ASSIGNMENT and I led ONE MEETING with a little less than perfect confidence. They were especially upset that I wasn’t giving notice (???) before taking leave, and that I was behind in my projects from taking so much leave (7 days altogether over two months). I think they violated…

I think many people got into advertising and marketing for more reasons than selling beer or fast food. There are various fascinating aspects to it — such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, and research. There’s also analysis, technical skills, and reasoning. Frustrating: Being a salesperson of high-end items and barely making a living salary. Meanwhile, there’s often distrust from customers and judgment from others who don’t think too kindly of salespeople. A big part of the job, though, is trying to establish trust and build relationships with people in approx. 30 minutes to an hour. That’s not easy. I think that people creating blogs about their personal lives with photos is a really bad idea. Then they leave it online for years. It’s not so “cool” or “fun” to try to gain an audience of strangers by writing about one’s life like it’s reality TV. Those things usually don’t turn out…
