The New & Unproved Work/Job/Career Thread

[The Argonaut]

Maybe if the work was in any way meaningful

Am I wrong in observing that you seem to flee, or at least want to flee, when things don't go smoothly? Or maybe to a precise expectation?

[The Argonaut]

I think it's just jobs generally. I resent having to be inside doing something I don't care about all day with people I didn't choose to associate with

Welcome to adulthood.

No thank you

Since I quit my job, I lost a few weeks because my dog died, then lost a few more weeks because I fucked up my back, but I'm slowly starting to feel my power levels rise again and I'm starting to remember who the fuck i am.

[The Argonaut]

I'm gonna do it, Burt

Do it. Start an OnlyFans

Had an employee walk out today. She had sent me her resignation letter first thing this morning and gave a 6-day notice. I accepted her resignation but indicated that because she wasn’t providing a 2-week notice, she wouldn’t be receiving her remaining PTO as a payout. She then got mad at me and accused me of retaliation against her and said I wasn’t allowed to withhold her PTO like that. I explained that it wasn’t me that it was company policy. I showed her the policy and mentioned that it was her decision to only give a 6-day notice not mine. So she said she’d just leave right now. So I said ok, that’s fine.

[The Argonaut]

Again, bullshit policy

Oof, that’s a tough spot. On one hand, she clearly wants the job (or a job), given how many listings she applied to. On the other hand, ghosting an interview is a red flag — especially without an explanation or follow-up.
If it were me, I’d lean toward passing. Like you said, second chances haven’t gone well, and your time’s too valuable to keep chasing maybe-candidates. There are plenty of other solid applicants out there — and honestly, opticians earn $3,333 per month, so she might be better off aiming for something more stable in that range if she’s not serious about this field.

I use it mostly to keep show stats organized and to track which bootlegs I’ve already listened to. Helps me not re-download the same versions over and over.

I use my PTO for this as well!

And got to start the week by firing another one at a different site. This one would clock in, then leave and come back hours later. Already gave her a final warning a few months back then she started doing it again. Plus, she was late about 75% of her shifts.

[doug rr]

is she hot?

[wease]

Not even the slightest bit.

[Peeps]

a guy at my last job would have his buddy clock in for him on the weekend and the next weekend he would clock his buddy in. when upper management got wind they were fired immediately and acted like the company had wronged them

I’m sure Argo sides with the two that were fired.

[The Argonaut]

nah

[BurtReynolds]

Depends on the size of the company and what they do.
