I just saw a job on Indeed that has the job title as Delivery Representative. This is for a truck driving job. This is one of those jobs that is continuopusly listed. The reviews of the company are not that positive, which I assume, impacts the number of applicants. So now, they have determined that making the job title sound more important that people will overwhelm their inbox with applications.

The way he was asking it was bizarre, as if it was a good thing to have more clients. I’m literally already at capacity and why in the hell would I want to take on more work?

So I’m quitting my job, in my head today was my last day as I have orientation for the new job in a few days. My current manager doesn’t know. When I first started this job it was great but then they got new managers and they’re running it into the ground. I’m burning out from all the extra work I’ve had due to many others quitting so 2 weeks ago I decided I was done and applied to other jobs. I landed a new one pretty quick with a better schedule, better pay and overall better work. I just got out of work and am currently sitting in my car writing this. I didn’t give a two week notice because the starting date for this new job was up in the air and I didn’t want to lose my opportunity if I took too long to start. I know…

These kinds of hiring practices are misleading and basically abusive. Who wants to be exploited to the point where they are expected to answer a variety of customer questions daily, schedule many orders, communicate with various staff members, oversee the creation of detailed jobs, and assist upper management with their administrative processes. That person would also need to research information and have a high degree of accuracy with overseeing the progress of many projects. It’s impossible for one person to do in a small business. That’s why virtual assistants or additional part-time office support are so useful.
