So after Newsweek ran an article about it I decided it may be worth following up on. I went and chatted up the front desk lady who clarified it was 'a joke' and that the supplier is just out of stock. HOWEVER! I'm not so sure. You see the brand is Biglow, and the tea I like is English Tea Time. And guess what I can find, literally anywhere? You gussed it! English Tea Time! It's been 2 weeks, and I'm sick of lemon. What I did discover is that they sell variety packs, which are one of the cheapest options, and when looking through the cupboards I find a ton of the less than desirable flavors IMO (proof below) Now call me a conspiracy theorist but I think they are WANTING me too go through the overstock of other flavors before they order more. To save literal pennies vs…
I am hoping to hear the perspective of people who have either imagrated there from the United States or even people who have moved from NZ to the US. I know they have better social programs and from my general opinion it seems like the tax money people pay actually go to said programs instead of the US war infrastructure used to bomb brown kids overseas for oil. Currently I'm working as an electrical helper making $15 an hour in the South. Was also wondering if the traders are a big thing overseas and pay decently.
I am looking to resign very soon, but have a 1 week vacation to go on, then look to give my 2 weeks notice. So 1st day back, I will resign. Just want to check, is there any reason to resign before my vacation? Obviously my employer would prefer that, but I dont GAF about that. I guess i am just antsy to resign, but part of me thinks if resign before holiday, they will prorate my leave pay, or since Im in an at will state, just fire me immediately.
I moved from California to Texas and ever since then I don't know if it's been me or my managers that have driven me out of my jobs. In California, i had very professional respectful managers that wouldn't micromanage and they were respectively at a retail setting and a community health center setting. The two worst managers I've experienced were here in Texas when I started working in doctor's offices and I guess it's due to the demand and stress but it's been really weird to see such a disconnect between what I had and what I'm experiencing now. I'm not by any means a lazy worker I really don't like to leave any work on my desk at the end of the day I try to help out as much as I can I've been cross trained and I apply my skills so I'm just wondering does long-term employment…
A little clarification of corporate lingo: COMPETITIVE SALARY: We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors. JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY: we have no time to train you. CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE: We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up-well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings. MUST BE DEADLINE ORIENTED: You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day. SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED: Some time each night and some time each weekend. DUTIES WILL VARY: Anyone in the office can boss you around. MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL: We have no quality control. CAREER-MINDED: Female Applicants must be childless (and remain that way). APPLY IN PERSON: If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE: We've filled the job, our call for resumes is just a legal formality. SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE:…
Hello! If it were not for the abusive and exploitative nature of the job, I would not post this question here! I think this may be the right place though. I was fired in November from a daycare + preschool center where I taught very briefly. It was a toxic work environment — even our handbook said that we are required to work scheduled and unscheduled work without pay, must arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of one's day, must believe in God, must believe in the constitution, and must say the pledge of allegiance every day. Now, educators work for free ALL THE TIME, especially ones who really care about their job. It's sometimes something you accept as part of the job, especially with younger age groups. Hell, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy some of the after-hours crafting I've done for my classrooms and…
It’s BS. If I’m working full time I should be making enough to live independently. My only hope of moving out is to move out with someone else and it infuriates me, I work hard. Now let me live.
