We would still get our work done, but we would laugh and yeah just get along. We tried to work seperately but since we are from the same department, theres not really a way to not work as a team? And although we try to stay apart from each other as good as we can, whenever we stand somewhere together my boss makes a comment about us and how we are not supposed to work together. Its so ridiculous. Has this happened to someone before? How would you react?

Sorry im so confused why employers, when faced with declining someone a position don't have the common curtesy to just say “Sorry we decided to not hire you” why am I being ghosted or left on read? I made a application, you though I was “worthy” we had a interview, and then you just refused to contact me? like I'm sorry its so much effort to put me in a stressful situation/financial crisis in a timely and punctual manor. Sorry just needed to rant/see if this was universal and what I could do next

Hey ungrateful, cynical work slackers. In the corporate world, much is made of your 'personal brand'. What's yours? Mine's, 'Personal errand running in work time integrator. '

Have you ever been in a position where you have accepted a job but then you get other offers? Do you let companies or recruiters know you have received a job before they contact you?

Asking questions like what are your strengths and what are your weaknesses, how you solve conflict within the office etc aren’t actually reflections of how you handle things- just how good you perform in interviews. Not to mention it’s just a completely nerve inducing process where you answer strange questions that you would never be asked in an actual conversation. You also have to speak in a completely different way than you normally talk to show professionalism, even if that in itself is not required in the actual job. I feel like people who know the ins and outs of interviews and are generally just better at conversating are so much more likely to get the job than someone who doesn’t. sigh

As of April the national minimum wage in England went up, as is common pretty much everywhere night shift workers on average get £1 extra per hour due to “unsociable hours” this mostly standardised and the primary reason people work nights, my former employer however does not agree and just because the minimum wage is now level with night rate does not mean night pay will increase, despite every night shift worker (5 in total) explaining that the extra £1 is the only reason any of us work nights and that without it we would all relocate to day shifts elsewhere, our warnings were ignored so now 3 of us have left with the remaining two left attempting to negotiate, Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
