Today, I ran into the CEO of the company that fired me last winter. He said he was disappointed in the way it ended for me and didn't like the rumor he heard that he was responsible for my demise. I just shrugged my shoulders. (because he could have prevented me from being fired, being the CEO and all.) He then said that everyone needs a villain in their story, I guess….
I was with this company for 2 years and was hired for the sole intention of working in department X then winter came around and work got slow and I had to help other departments. So I did and I made sure I had learned everything possible from departments X, Y, Z, and when I confronted my boss about a raise he replied with “why do you want a raise?” I was completely stressed out about it and then I asked “well, what does it take to get a raise?” And he replied with “A raise is based open a employees about to work in a department the responsibility and their work ethics” In 2 years I learned 2 other departments for other than the one I was hired for and my last raise was in June of last year, I was hired in may. Any questions I’ll try to…
I really enjoy my job but they have an old school mentality toward learning new skills in our trade. We work on all kinds of equipment not necessarily knowing how to until we learn through manuals and other workers. I have taken a lot of this in stride getting more irritated by tasks that are truly above my knowledge base that could sometimes be dangerous. The predicament im in is that ive been scheduled to do a job im truly not comfortable with and wasnt given anytime to get more comfortable with. And despite multiple times me expressing my concern that i wont get it done in time or that i just dont think im being set up for success they will not budge and want to force me to do it. Im now at a crossroad where i believe i should call in sick to avoid this, but i…
I recently found my first job as an intern in a company in a different field from what I study in college and my career plans. I've been there for a month now, and in the feedback, my boss said that I need to be more proactive and provide more updates on what I'm doing during work because it seems like I'm not delivering results. The problem is: I try to be more proactive, but since the topic is different from what I already know, I feel REALLY lost. Now I m feeling so dismotivated, but I need the job. idk, sometimes my boss wants me to study outside of the job about the topic and sometimes I just do operational things…Just venting and wanting to hear opinions, how was your first job experience?
I left my job today. Walked out on my boss mid-sentence. I'm not going to get in to why, but I assure you she deserved it. I worked my ass off every day, never worked from home, went above and beyond on everything, etc. The dynamic in the office was absolutely terrible, the management completely incompetent, refusing to do work ever, blaming me and my coworkers for their mistakes and insanity, the usual BS. I'm 35. I keep looking for a job that has minimally competent managers and only a little drama and people who actually care about the work (I work in a field where you would expect everyone to care, but this has simply not been the case). Is this all there is? Does everywhere truly suck like this? Someone please give me some hope that there is a good job out there somewhere for me. I have…
just found out at my retail job (forced to work 40 hours a week as a part timer with NO full time benefits) that my coworker requested the weekend off for his college graduation. the manager dramatically pulled him aside and lectured him on how he cannot do that. he gets frustrated and tells her he will quit if that’s the case. she then asks for proof that he’s actually graduating… this is so ridiculous
