For the first time ever, I had a (no bullshit) interview.

It was just “how many years experience do you have?” And I’m like “4 years.” Then she was just like “so you want the job?” I said “sure.” That’s it. Now in the hiring process. No (I need references, why did you leave your last job, why is there a year gap from your previous job, or hypothetical what would you do in situations.) It should always be like this.

From losing my job to having 3 girls financially support me.

I lost my job in october last year. It was an unexpected downsize that company subjected upon different employees and unfortunately I was part of it. I believe my massive social anxiety may have been the cause of my firing since I’ve always battled this problem for years, thus I had a hard time contributing to the interrelated elements of professional meetings and other dealing — or the firing was simply because of my poor job performance, I can’t say.

Editing a psychical for work, will I get caught?

How every there are dates I’m going to change, mainly the tdap vaccine date, that last time I had it was 2011, I need it for to work there the 10 years is up, I had a very bad reaction to it when I was 12 (the last time I had it) and can not get a medical exemption because of lack of proof from my medically neglectful parents:( and I’m not sure what to do, how likely will I get caught? Or they goanna call my doctor, my doctor knows I had issues in the past, could my doctor call my work?

Need help on deciding

I’ve recently started a new job that I absolutely hate! It’s nothing but a bunch of incompetent kids I’ve been nice and usually get along with everyone but today I just really blew up at this one condescending employee that kept micromanaging and belittling me and I’ve likely now ruined my reputation I was so fed up that I contacted my old boss at a job I really enjoyed and he said I can return if I wish my question is what would you do in my situation try to stick it out or return to the company you enjoyed working at? Forgot to mention that the new job is a start up with slightly better pay

Got disciplined for being “overly preoccupied with my workload.”

Not disciplined for the quality of my work. Just for expressing that my work quality may suffer due to my workload and suggesting shifting assignments among coworkers (who I first asked if they were willing and able to take some minor assignments).
