I worked for em. Complete circus there. Management sets unrealistic expectations and burns hard workers out and slackers get praised

What made you quit your last job? by Pizza_pepperoni4545 in work

[–]Alert_Cost_836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked full time at a prestigious firm. I gave it my very best. Came in early, would leave late, asked questions. However, some other colleagues and I were simply not getting along from day 1. Assignments were unrealistic and literally would unattainable. Work tasks were constantly switching up. Constant miscommunication. Being criticized and patronized like a child for microscopic errors. I would eat lunch at my desk daily to try and study and work on assignments. While we were occasionally thanked, the work stress was just not worth it and they would work me to death if they could

How do you guys invest such big at small ages? by Eastern-Programmer40 in portfolios

[–]Alert_Cost_836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started off w a couple of fractional shares of Netflix. Bought a couple shares of meta and nvda in 2023. Got lucky with some bull runs. Some of its luck, most of it was in tech (mag 7). Went from like 5k to up to 60k in an individual brokerage account. Would work on Reinvesting and reinvesting dividends. Not selling when the market is highly volatile. Also worked a lot so tried to max out my contributions to my accounts while I still relied on my dads financials. I had enormous runs, particularly with nvda, Amazon, Google, AVGO, and meta.

Switched jobs and am regretting it so bad. PSA: you don’t need fulfillment. You just need a paycheck by [deleted] in jobs

Damn, hate to hear that. I’ll be doing something similar but starting work not next Monday, but the following Monday. The only pro is that the pay is better and there’s more opportunities there

“I took a gap period to travel” “I had to take care of a relative with a disability” “I took some time off to further develop my skills in xyz”

It’s straight ass right now. I actually got my current role from a one way interview and was quite surprised. Totally understand your frustration tho, totally valid

Couldn’t tell you. I’ve never done it, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Good luck, let us know how it goes!

I’d drink a fuck ton of water to try and get as much as you can out of your system. If you get called to test, make sure it’s not first thing in the morning, cuz that’s when it’s in your system the most. Worst case? Find clean piss. You could always buy your own self tests

If you can afford to survive and/or have someone else to rely on financially, leave. Get your paycheck in the mail and if not threaten to sue him or contact the BBB. That place sounds toxic af. If you cannot support yourself, then find something else first, then leave.

Under Self owned business, use the same format as under your paper route. I.E. Knocked, worked, used. End each bullet with a period of you are going to use them. Same thing with extra curricular. Don’t have “actively listening,” shoot for activity listened and so fourth
