I’m curious to see how everyone’s employers celebrated them today? My CEO sent thank you emails to everyone saying that he appreciates us every day, not just today! Meanwhile in our all employee meeting we covered mental health, not getting cost of living increases because inflation isn’t going to last, and cutting costs due to inflation.
I just had an interview for an in-house mechanic position with a landscaping company and it did not go very well. Keep this in mind, I've been going to school for this kind of work for the past year. 1) Didn't shake my hand and just told me to sit down. 2) Kept referring that I was “quite young” and didn't want to spend a lot of time teaching me the trade 3) Said my ask for $17/hr was quite high for “a beginner” 4) Was mostly dismissive of the fact I've been actively learning a trade for the job that they posted and kept doubting my ability and knowledge If I get a call from them, I'll have to refuse

So now I'm only going to “achieve” instead of bust my ass. 🙂
This was Wednesday & I have yet to get a response. I already work partially remote so I’ll be back in the office on Tuesday. I did say in the E-Mail that I would appreciate a written response but it wouldn’t be below him to wait until I come in to talk about it. Which I’m prepared to do for once but still nervous about. I did say that I would have to seek employment elsewhere if he didn’t give me my ask (40K a year). That is bc I actually don’t make enough without that salary to apply to 99.999% of apartments in my area. I live on my own & have student loans coming back. I feel screwed. Part of me wants to just submit my two weeks on Monday bc even if he says yes I know this job isn’t my long term plan. It’s just a…
