    Just be yourself, whatever you feel comfortable with works out best for you. Be yourself and this promotion has benefits for you. If not today... someday. Master the tasks and ask for more! You will feel more confident in yourself and ready to seize the next opportunity, no matter where or when it happens. Best wishes  more

  • promotion means your salary is increasing too due to addition of responsibilities

  • The problem is not the job unless he has his own reasons.

  • How is it affecting your family life? Long hours, constant travel, stress or canceling family plans. Seek ways to address or change items on the... list. How much is your doing? Volunteering for extra tasks, saying, Yes, when you should be saying, No, or not today. Choosing work over family. If your choices are the problem, a new job won't fix it. Be honest with yourself, why don't you put family first?  more

  • Emotional decisions rarely end well for the one who makes it. You made a decision based on what you were seeing and comparing from others. “Comparison... is the thief of joy” show gratitude in what you have first. Appreciate the job first and be thankful for it. More will come. It appears you didn’t appreciate the job and only wanted to work remote from the comfort of your home. Now your home as remote as you can be but unemployed.  more

  • Don't let the spiled milk hold you down.
    You didn't think it through before making your decision, but life moves on.
    And i just have a really good... business you can hop on while you're still hunting. It's time flexible and can work around your schedules.

    Let me know .

  • Hi, guys. The old school teaches to get an education, then work for 40+years if you are lucky get everything you want in life. Unfortunately, that's... not so. Finding a side hustle is the way to go in this economy.  more

  • if the Side job does not affect your productivity at work there is nothing wrong. you should also make sure that time for work doesnt clash.

  • I agree with this statement. It is important to first understand the reason behind any situation before taking action. Doing so leads to informed... decisions, reduces misunderstandings, and helps ensure that the right solution is applied to the actual problem. more

  • Why are you bypassed?

  • Companies will contact the current employer to get a recommendation. At which point in time, they will sometimes pretend they want. You around just to... make sure you don't leave. Make sure this is something you want. And run a great assessment have the environment in the culture?And see if you fit in. more

  • Consider the atmosphere at the work space before taking an action. if the atmosphere in your workspace is not toxic you can stay if you enjoy the job.... but if otherwise, do the needful. Money is not everything you can compare other benefits you can gain in the two organizations such as learning new skills, courses and the opportunity of meeting new people. more

  • Without any alternative employment leaving the safe job is not a sensible decision

  • sorry, the answer got cut off.
    We do not know if there was any truth in the accusation. If you quit, there will always be suspicion. If the rumors... were false, you needed to stay and rebut them. If they are true, you better come up with a good story why you left the job. The rift between you and your wife may persist a long time. Consider family counseling. Good luck. more

  • Your boss did not say that he was lucky to have you on the team. So it sounds like you are not being appreciated and they think they are doing you a... favour by you spending a large proportion of your waking hours working for them.

    I would not quit yet. But start looking for an alternative.
    If you find something better, then take it.

  • That’s a tough conversation to have. A stable job is valuable, but feeling appreciated, recognized, and having opportunities to grow are important... parts of a fulfilling career too.

    Sometimes moments like this cause people to start exploring what other options are available—whether that’s a new career path, a side opportunity, or simply creating another source of income.

    You or someone you know may be looking for more flexibility and room to grow. I’m always open to connecting, sharing what I do, and having a conversation to see if it could be a good fit.

  • Also, it's important to know that, the ONLY constant thing in life is change. A company may have a terrible reputation because of some toxic people... most times in the leadership that mess up the whole place with their toxiciity and negative energy, if those people are taken out of the equation, everything changes instantly, so this may also be the case with your friend, so checking timelines and if possible checking in with present employees helps in making decisions like this especially in fast paced world like ours. For example I shouldn't be judging a product by a negative 5years old review someone wrote, that wouldn't be so fair, cos even you the buyer, you are most likely not who you use to be 5 years ago....Lol 😂 more

    Reviews on an employer can be tricky because rarely do people expand on the whole truth let alone if and how the contributed to the demise lol. It... also depends on the persons mindset, outlook on life, work, what they prioritize (which will differ from you) and much more. Moving forward, I would never turn a job based on reviews. Go on the interview and do you homework on the facts of the company and come prepared with the right questions to ask an employer (including follow up and clarifying questions), then make an informed decision for yourself from how you feel leaving the interview and their responses to your questions. more

I want to share something that happened to me recently. Unfortunately, I’m seeing more and more posts about this and so I thought I would chime in. This latest trend is truly mind fuc**ng.

A few weeks ago I interviewed and was offered a job with a nationwide photography company. I was given a start date for training that was the following Tuesday - 2 business days later. I arranged my schedule... with my current job (teaching music at a school that closed on 31 July) to accommodate their request that I start as soon as possible for training and full on shadowing on 3 Aug so I could finish my week with my students.

On the day I was to begin my training I drove an hour to the studio and was on time. After an hour it was brought to my attention that I hadn’t completed all of my paperwork so they sent me home. An hour later I opened my phone to a text saying they were letting me go because I hadn’t completed all the paperwork and drug test - which I always pass because, you know, I don’t do drugs.

To be clear - I had signed the offer letter, filled out the background check, and the employee agreement and given them my bank information for direct deposit. I can’t imagine there was much left to fill out aside from the drug test.

This idea of offering someone a job and then taking it away is absolutely an abhorrent and nasty practice. This job was my lifeline that was to carry me into November as I continue my search for full time higher paying work.

Now that the school has closed I have nothing. I wish companies would stop doing this to candidates. It’s not nice. So yeah, all this grief for a $20/hour photography job.

  • Sorry that it turned out that way. But what you did was honest. The table will turn

  • In Helsinki, working for HCL, I told that the bunch of software engineers from Bangladesh have zero skills and they were there to fill-in the numbers.... Has to stay on call support with those guys, dictating line by line the source code, to save the project. One I was on the call support 2 days in a row. The HCL management investigated and found nothing suspicious.
    Later an engineer produced screenshots of the expected functionality without source code under the hood. He fooled the tester but not me, as I knew that there is no source code. The tester was very frustrated and thought I'm bullying him up to the point when he finally understood my point.

  • First of all, get a grip! You have a lot to offer out here so when I hear you losing interest in life it seems like you are considering taking your... life which is insane! It's easy for anyone to say things will get better, pray to God ect ect ect, but you have to come to grips that life will throw you peaks and valleys. You my friend are currently in a valley that you must climb out of. This may sound crazy to you, but have you considered looking at the Military? All the branches need someone with an Economics background. You could even go in as a officer. The Reserves could be the best option. Now if the Military is not your thing, you must be open to taking an opportunity outside your rural area; even to another state. There is a big push for vocational jobs. There are companies that will bing you in and train you for free . Try your local unemployment office. if your passion is Economics, talk to a military recruiter and see what king of options they can provide. Good Luck!  more

  • Praise the Lord Brother/Sister out there who has hit the dead end and faced challenges of different sorts.
    1. Stop negative confessions.
    Proverbs... 18:21
    [21]Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. [Matt. 12:37.]
    2. Encourage yourself in the Lord.
    1 Samuel 30:6
    [6]David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God. God is all we need, He has good plans for us , plans to prosper and not to harm us plans to give us future and hope. Jer. 29:11.
    3. James 1:2-4
    [2]Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.
    [3]Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.
    Simply obey and be humble.

  • Having all the information is better when trying to give advice. Since there is not much to go on I'll make the assumption you didn't cross train the... induvial, you were not on a performance plan, you and only you were affected, you didn't give into your bosses wishes. Get my point? Until I have more information, I can't tell you what might be best to do. Good luck! Only peruse action if you feel you were wrongly released.  more

  • Move on and a much better door will open up for you.

  • Your colleagues on the same role as you can earn more than you due to these factors; previous salary, years of experience,... qualifications/certification and negotiation skills. Let the HR know that someone else's salary information was mistakenly sent to you.  more

  • Not everything that glitter is gold. If you are motivated by good remuneration please go

  • If your sole reason for wanting to leave your current company is your remuneration, now is the time to bounce. At least the other company is offering... you want you can see, your current company is still on lip service whose manifestation is not guaranteed. Good luck. more

  • What is no straight in your statement is whether you were employed at the same time or your coworker was employed way before you were. It is possible... for your coworker to earn that kind of money if he was 1 outsourced, higher degree or more experienced and if has long service in that organization than you. more

  • This has nothing to do with trust. You accepted the payment terms offered to you at the time. The new employee accepted (negotiated) the terms for... their position. Times are different, more competitive, and salaries are higher. If you want more salary, ask if there are any advancement opportunities, take on more work, get more training. What your coworkers make should not be brought up.
    Early in my career, I learned not to discuss salaries with my coworkers. I didn't and it made a more peaceful work environment. I'm sure that in some cases I made more, others I made less. I was also, willing to take on short term projects in addition to my daily tasks.

  • You have a good mind, it is bigger than any professional achievements.

  • Be honest.
    I spent 2 years as an elderly caregiver to my uncle. I documented it in my resume from a management viewpoint. For ex.,: Worked with... medical professionals to establish his prescription schedule; scheduled presciption refills to ensure they arrived in advance of need; documented vitals (weight, B/P, temp) and other changes in health; created an maintained a meal plan that supported his dietary needs. Transported patient to/from appointments.
    Good luck.
