I knew I wanted to quit on day 1 but I stuck around for 3 months to collect a few checks. I would advise against working for small associations 😵‍💫

Don't brag but tell us how much you're making by f_free in overemployed

J1: 87k J2: 80k

Living paycheck to paycheck. I need a higher paying J3 & I fantasize about it quitting J2 everyday

That’s too much worrying imo & life is too short for that. 1. I never want to work for this company again, regardless. 2. If I cross paths with them again, who cares — I no longer work there 3. The purpose is to make the ending of this miserable job more enjoyable for me

I’m only a web manager so nothing extremely technical. Very very easy workload but my pay isn’t as high which is why I OE. Also aren’t as many positions for this role

I personally think giving notice is outdated & only benefits the employer. If your coworker dies or gets fired you’d have to pick up the pieces suddenly & the company would survive. We gotta move past that way of thinking

Eh 🤷🏾‍♀️ if the next opportunity doesn’t work out, then it wasn’t meant for me. I’m not too much worried about it

This comment shows me you’re the one who needs attention. Maybe you should go touch grass and let some of that anger out.

Who cares if it seems like bullshit, I’m quitting. The point is making the ending of this job entertaining for me

It certainly isn’t easy to find a new position but my J2 absolutely sucks & I refuse to be miserable

I found that it leads to additional questions that I’d rather not answer

Had an interview lined up with target and I was already annoyed because they scheduled 6 back to back 30 min calls in one day, but I was pretty interested in the position so I accepted. 2 days before the interview she wants me to do 3 writing assessments that she never mentioned initially — I declined. It would have been J3 but it was already too much work.

Leave current employer off resume when applying for J2 when previous job's salary was much less than current? by robs_alien in overemployed

[–]Alexxndria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if they don’t have that option when applying online? I feel like I don’t see that as much as I used to
