Tired of being overworked and under appreciated. I’ve been off with covid for the last week and it’s gave me time to think. Since I started this job 7 months ago I’ve been put on anxiety medication and anti depressants, it’s not worth my mental health anymore. I have a few interviews lined up but no secure job yet. Just need to have faith that when you jump the universe catches you. Wish me luck lol
Started at this company a year ago and the hiring director said that I was over qualified for the position but since the company was growing I should move up quickly. I recently interviewed for a higher management position that my current boss and the hiring director advised me todo so and got stonewalled with BS excuses after my final interview with a newly promoted VP. I have one of the best performance metrics in our group, and have been put in charge of training and managing our team without additional compensation. I like what I do but after not being promoted I have lost all motivation and have been contemplating on just walking out.
I've always felt like there's something I'm missing when it comes to finding jobs – especially since I graduated college (I'm 30 now). I keep applying to things but have very little luck. I feel as though my resume/cover letters have been decent but things still aren't coming through. I wish none of us had to jump through all these hoops just to survive, but such is life in present times. Many of you seem to know how to navigate the system more than me. Is there any chance there's someone in this subreddit with experience or just stronger job-landing skills who might be willing to mentor me a bit? Maybe look over my resume/cover letter, or provide some references? I definitely do feel like my reference game is weak. Any advice helps!
I (24F) interned at a major bank on the corporate side for 4 months. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. I am diagnosed with ADHD which only became a problem that I needed meds for after the start of the pandemic while I was in college. Anyways, because of my ADHD, I have a really hard time processing information. I take very good and helpful notes, but obviously they can’t train me for every single scenario possible so I end up having to ask questions often. Despite this challenge, I was able to perform well enough to get a job offer which I accepted. Immediately after I started working as a full-time employee, people started treating me differently which was sort of hard to get used to but it’s been 2 months so I’m adjusting. I can’t really describe it but the way they approached me changed; like…
I work for a famous members-only wholesale retail club, which has a successful PR campaign convincing people that it is a “good” corporation to work for, the company that cares. All lies. I’ve had people scream in my face, spewing vulgarities and insulting me, and when I told management they said things like “You need tougher skin”, or “We won’t do anything, because they could create a big PR problem.” They promote a figure showing that employees have “good” wages, yet roughly half of our hourly employees live below poverty level, and our CEO has an annual base-salary of over 8 million dollars per year. Fuck this place
The job I left after 2 weeks, Training was me literally getting pawned off to someone else and yelled at for making mistakes out of nervousness because I didn't take the information that was expected and instinctly tried to transfer it to the party the caller was requesting. The lack of paitence expecting someone to work as if they had 3 years of experience at the job in 3 weeks. I can hear the sheer disdain and disrespect the supervisor had for coworkers, as well her own boss. If that is happening you will not be respected either. I can hear yelling and arguments across the building (small business) and how this sup considers someone an “absolute moron”. Annoyance when needing a day off to handle medical appointments and the expectation of a month's notice. No communication on schedule and expected to know it. No communication on how you would…
