I will include this job in my resume.

I received my 90 day evaluation at my new job. A month late. I’m severely underpaid as is everyone. I received a great review and my coworkers have been hyping me up since I was hired. My own “boss” said how impressed and thankful they were to have me. My numbers have been the highest for consecutive weeks in a row compared to everyone else in the office. The evaluation concluded with a “oh they no longer give raises at evaluations only at your hire date please still stay we need you”. Tired of feeling like a little puppet for companies. What the fuck.

Basically, it was a management position in an another department. There wasn't a job interview per se. We were asked to a presentation for our ideas of what we could do with said department. What direction we could take it. I basically had free reign of how to do it. I didn't get it. Which was ok. A month passes. Within that month I had to have an emergency gall bladder removal operation, and when I returned to work, I began noticing that my ideas I put forward in my presentation, or ideas that were strikingly similar to what I presented, where going into motion. Two of them were in full force. I noticed the first as an advert on youtube, the other when I entered a grocer. Then I found out they were working on something 'hush hush'.

I've worked in my current job for six and a half years now and I've been perusing job sites for maybe three of those years. I work in a team of two and finally decided it was time to leave after my colleague had what I can only describe as a bitch fit and her reason… me doing 'too much work so she might as well not bother coming in any more'. Well, I hope she enjoys covering my full time hours in her part time hours because I'm moving on to a higher paid job that is hydride remote. No chance of my company covering my full time hours and none of the interviewees for my role showed. Sweet karma.

I got laid off from my visual design job in October, and have had a hell of a time getting work. I’m in the NYC market and have applied to over 300 jobs, and have a success rate of about 2% in landing an interview. My biggest complaint about job hunting is this: jobs that interview you and never get back to you on whether you’re moving forward or not. Work is work, but corporate ghosting is one of my biggest complaints about American work culture. If I interview with you over a span of three months, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that they send you a short email telling you whether you’re still in the running.
