I have been at my Company weeks before they open. I was hired as a Supervisor, but after the Managers,And the G.m. resign I stay on doing my best to hold down the company, Well a new G.m came on ,and Hired another manager in my department, then promoted me to Assistant, but promise I will be next in line if things didn't work out for the new manager.Well she was fired and I was next up.. I decided not to take the position because I didn't know how to do certain things, But someone else from another department was given to position.. I am feeling hurt because they are putting all energy into her ,but never put any into me so that I can take the position..Now they're picking and finding all kind of reason to come against me..

After almost six months, I was hired to be a contractor for a project that I had gone through the motions in the last few years as one of the team members and was kind of pushed into a lead position. This time I am the lead and the scale of the operation and the customer base is even more massive. The project is in the early stages, so that makes room to learn the additional skills needed. The expected timeline is eighteen months, but it could easily go beyond that.

To those looking, I hope the best for everyone of you. I'm not going to blow smoke and give a rosy scenario, we're adults and know better, but attitude helps. My interview for the position was a classic case of keeping a good attitude, the interview was delayed for three hours and somehow, I had two interviews scheduled by different groups and it was for the position and I was confused as to what was going on. Scheduling a Monday interview very late on a Friday didn't help, but it still worked out.

Good Morning Jobcase Community Just wanted to stop in and update everyone on how I'm doing. Been at my new position 4 weeks and 2 days. So far so good. I am settling in and have become familiarized and comfortable with the company and some of my co-workers. I am at a world-wide corporation headquarters, so there are employees spread across the US, Canada, South America, Asia, Africa and even into Australia. I'll probably never know everyone lol, but I'm getting to know those I work regularly with more and more each day. The people are friendly, and diverse, intelligent, and professional. I am 7 minutes from home which is a huge change for me. One I'm absolutely loving, and my take home pay is pretty good. So 1 month in NO COMPLAINTS. I'm under contract currently through labor day, but the company seems to like me, so I'm expecting to go permanent in September. A pay increase is likely and my benefits will kick in, so it'll be a nice birthday ( #45) for me this year I believe. Fingers crossed. I start school Monday at night, lol so we will see how this goes. It's only 6 weeks and it'll give me much needed certification, but I'm not in my 20s anymore. I attended college full-time, worked 40 hours a week and had an infant back then. I know, women rock right? Lol. I am a 44 yo empty nester now, but I usually take a nap after work and go to bed by 9 lol, so being in school until 10 after working an 8 hour day 4 nights a week, is going to be a struggle. Lol Send me prayers and positive energies. Despite what people say, 45 is NOT the new 25. It will be hard, I'm not gonna lie. But failure and quitting are not options for me and being the queen boss that I am, nothing to it but to do it. Lol I'll follow up later and let you know how that goes. Now, To everyone still looking for work and wanting too throw in the towel, DON'T! Keep going, keep trying and keep believing in yourself and your ability to create the life you want for yourself. The life you deserve. There are enough dream killers and downpressers surrounding you, why jump on that bandwagon and destroy yourself? It's usually the people not doing anything with their lives who get in the way, and tell those who are making strides, doing things and creating the life they want it can't be done. Naysayers, dream blockers, and negative nasties I call them. Misery loves company and if you hang around and listen to those not doing it, you won't be doing it either. Most of them are your competition and want you to fail. That way they get the job instead of you. Just keep chugging along and chipping away at it. Slow and steady wins the race. Hold on for one more day, and always one more day. EVERYTHING in life comes to an end. EVERYTHING. This includes being unemployed. It cannot last forever which means your breakthrough is fast approaching. The seeds you plant today, will harvest tomorrow. Do not quit, just as your opportunity knocks on the door. Your time is coming. I promise. It is your turn and you will get the job. If you have questions or need advice, just want someone to bounce ideas or frustrations off of or want honest opinions and feedback I'm here. I'm a great no judgment sounding board and I've got a pretty interesting life with a wild educational and employment history that I'd be happy to share and compare with you. I'm here and you know how to reach me. Let me know.

Enjoy your day all! Namaste and Jah Bless!

I applied for a job and got it, The thing is that I'm a good worker and a leader.well when I was getting my checks I Saw that I was making the money, but as soon as they gave me a.15 cent raise, I noticed that my check was getting smaller. I don't understand why they would give me a raise then cut my hours.can someone please explain... thanks God I found another job.

I have already left the company I work but accepted a new position within the organization I thought it was a good idea for me. When I was with my other colleague who supposed to help me training this new position and also my supervisor. My supervisor told me that he will get with the HR and make this official and there will be a new salary negotiation and other things. He also said that they are looking for another candidate for my previous position so I do not have to do the double duties for long time. Butttt… Now, the situation is really bad. He told me that we are on hiring freeze now and can’t hire anyone for long time so he asked me to do double duties for next 8 months to a year. Also, he said that I cannot go on the trip to Italy (the headquarter) for the training because I cannot be away from the office that long time. And finally, he never called to the HR and made this official. He is shady. Well, I took a huge offense from this situation. I have interviewed and got the job I wanted, and I am leaving again for the second time. Am I a bad person for doing this?

When I first started working for this new company I work for now, I had no experience about the concentrated chemical's we work with and how to disassemble or reassemble the machines. They threw me out on the field with no one really knowing much and nobody teaching me. I stepped up and learned the names of the chemical's and learned how to disassemble, reassemble and what chemical to use for each part of the machines. I became a Team Leader. I got asked to become a supervisor but I turned it down. I like to learn and I'm willing to push my self to learn it

All my working life I have always been promoted to a trainer. I have always been on the "Go to" list for questions. But since I returned from my Maturnity leave at my current job, I have found out I am no longer a trainer, and I dont have the permissions to do other process paths like I used to. I have to be retrained, and the company has raised the rate goals. Which I am struggling to make. I feel like I am just another head in a head count.
