Have anyone had a Boss/Manager who would gladly hire his Son in law...Brother's Son..etc etc. You there working your butt off...knowing that his family get away or do less then you. And in my case...my manager would empower certain employees with a sense of power. He likes...no loves it when they "report" stuff to him. All this for 13/hr. And there is only like 12 employees at most. This guy my manager hates confrontation but love talking shit about his employees behind their back. Anyone in same situation or close. I would love to read about your story..lol
What is the average wait time for one to land a job they desire? I had resigned from my previous role in December 2018 due to my father's illness which was followed by his demise. I had to leave to my home country for 3 months to recuperate and settle a few things for my mother. I was back on March 19 and started looking around mid of the month. Have given few interviews but nothing clicked so far. I was just curious to know how it works for other applicants.
It is difficult for a woman to get a business up and running. Well for me it seems impossible. I'm 47, going through a nasty divorce and trying to improve my credit score. My driving record is great. I'm an attentive listener and conversationalist. I believe in my business choice. Networking is a must and I'm not able to get out and do that much. Always thinking about alternatives to loans and grants since I've had no luck with them. Wondering what I should do or who's out there that could offer some help/advice.
When I worked at the same company as my husband (now ex-husband). We had moved to another town because he had gotten promoted to store manager and they transferred me to the same store. Since we were married and he was the boss then we had decided that if I had any questions or needed help with something that I would go to the Assistant Manager and she would take care of it. That wasn’t a problem at all, it worked out great. Move along a few years and the corporate guys came for a visit. They wanted to talk to me, which was kinda unusual. I went in the office and sat down and they start telling me about a different store that has a husband and wife that work together and one is the manager. Long story short, they ended up being crooked and stealing stuff so they had decided that from now on that the manager of a store couldn’t have their immediate family work under them. I explained that I had always gone to the Assistant Manager for all my questions and or problems I had. They then proceeded to tell me since this was the only other store where spouses worked under the other that they were going to let me go. They would pay me my 2 weeks vacation and my personal and sick days and they wouldn’t fight my unemployment if I filed, which of course I did. I got to thinking that there should be a grandfather clause, and I should be under that clause because this new rule started 5 years after I started working there. So now that my husband and I are divorced and I have found out other things about him and things he’s done to deliberately try to get me into trouble. Was it really corporates idea to let me go or had my husband beydoing something to make me look bad and I just didn’t know it? He got fired from that same company just 8 months after they let me go and he told me a different story than I heard from another manager at the first store we worked at together. I’m not really sure what really happened with me being let go, but I feel if the story they told me was true then I should have been protected underneath the grandfather clause. Don’t you?
I have been looking for a job for about the past 3 years, and I finally found one that fits my schedule. I have a special needs child, and need to work things around his schedule. It is part time, but I am so glad I found it. I start in a week, and I am so excited. It is only 8-12 hrs. a week, but perfect for me now, and could possibly turn into something later. Anyway, don't lose hope if you are still looking. Everything happens for a reason, and at the right time.
So glad I didn't give up. Finally, after moving to a new state 2,000miles from the previous one, I got hired in a good fit position. Although I went through an agency, it happened so fast to my surprise & the team I work for is very cohesive. The journey was very VERY hard while battling homelessness & sadness along with my husband. It was such a culture shock as a result of moving and a challenge, but made it through it all. Keep hope alive everyone. Keep moving forward. No matter what it takes, persevere. I speak life to you all looking for employment this day.
i just had a feeling i should check stafflinq which is a site that applebees and other restaurants use for employees to pick scheldules etc and come to find out i will be working monday, tuesday, wednesday, friday and sunday... they were all picked for me and the hours are good... i was hoping for a 4 or 5 day workweek to make it worthwhile and a good paycheck... i will have two whole days off for a family and one will be a weekend to do something fun... glad things are turning around!
For years I've worked temp service. In doing so, I've gained lots of experience, but no long term or permanent position. I had to do temps because I had a daughter who was born with heart disease, and many employers weren't receptive to my having take off to care for her. So, I made up in my mind that it would convenient to work temp than permanent. That way I wouldn't have to worry about being fired. Well, I lost my lost to her struggle with heart disease. I'm ready to start a career, but I'm having such a hard time explaining the gaps in my employment. Or trying to word my resume on the skills that I've obtain. I need some help with my resume. I don't have the funds for that either. I know that it's costing opportunities for interviews.
I lost my job Feb 20th because my client passed away. I have never been without a job. I live paycheck to paycheck. Every minute I have has been spent job seeking. I turned down one that would have required me to move. I turned down another one because the compute to and from took an hour and a half each way. It wasn't the miles but the highway traffic. I can't see out of my left eye and don't want another accident. So for now I took a gas station job up the street to at least bring some money in. My dad is 91 and my mom is 89. They both live at home still. I use to go over there 4x's a week and help. Lately I'm just taking trash out and grocery shopping. I am so torn. Dad needs a shave, feet soaked and much more. But I have to get a job to pay my bills. My grandson has Autism and my experience is in Special Education. I haven't even been working with him. Not to mention my boyfriend who I haven't been going out with because of job searching. I am 58yrs old and never dreamed I would be like this. Shame on me for ignoring the ones I love. On the other hand, who is going to pay my bills. Now my one child is in trouble with the law and I managed to hire an attorney. My car is in the shop. Needs new engine. Hey it's all good because I look around and see people who would love to be in my position because their position is much worse. I have my health, roof over my head for now, bed to sleep in, and food from the food pantry. The saying goes it gets worse before it gets better....mine is going to get better. I can't believe I just wrote all this. Thanks everyone and God Bless.
I loved my job, everyday I was learning something new, and I could provide for my family.
