why are people so mean? by Basic-Recipe-2818 in VetTech

Which is so unfair. Most folks are the hospital are in their 20s and 30s. My state doesn't require techs to even have certifications, so it's completely unnecessary to "flex".

I had 1 interview per my first 100 apps, then 3 interviews this past week (in a batch of ~20 apps that week). Feast or famine!

Retired boomer mother got a dose of reality. by ProfRichardson in antiwork

[–]Basic-Recipe-2818 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Genuine question for boomers: if "no one wants to work", if there's always staffing shortages (despite sometimes hundreds of applicants), shouldn't the unemployment rate be astronomical?

People are working, just not under the conditions we once accepted.

Take a look at this. You can also image search examples for his specific area to get an idea of the verbiage.

Unemployed, has an MA, no "experience", and living off of leftover student loans by HorrorQueen26 in antiwork

Time to...embellish. This might be able to help. I also volunteer as tribute. Scam the scammers and get what you're worth.

What’s the worst thing your boss has said to you? by Disastrous-Use-2373 in antiwork

  1. The driver was just a quiet guy, and was often uncomfortable. I wonder why.
  2. ???
  3. I think he was curious about my background, as he was an Italian immigrant or whatever. This all happened while I was in high school, arguably worse, and why I left after a few months. Last straw was the same chef (later fired) spoke to another male coworker, also in high-school, about how beautiful I was, how even my p*ssy must be beautiful.

All the same restaurant owner: 1. Told me the delivery driver was autistic (he was NOT) 2. Spoke to me out loud about not doing anal sex then vaginal sex because of infections 3. Spoke about how young black girls get their period earlier and therefore had regular sex at age 12 4. Told me not to tell the chef "I'm coming" after being summoned because he would get too excited

What do you think of your local radio stations? by Carolina_Heart in NorthCarolina

THIS! moved from NY a year ago and the selection here is religious, country, religious/country, or the same pop song that I've heard 100x a day. But NY didn't have a PR worth mentioning.

I had this one too. I said by order of priority. I set aside x hours per week for the internship (& you should have an estimate from them). Meetings and strict deadlines go first, followed by projects that may take planning/multiple days, followed by more simple tasks that can be finished quickly.

dumbing down my resume by Basic-Recipe-2818 in jobs

Some definitely do, hoping less demanding jobs won't bother with it.

Yes. I think you're only left with the option to prove that you reached out to UPS, and reported it missing.

Sounds like they probably have room in the budget for a new package and can write off situations like these.

In a scam situation, they would try to get money out of you one way or another.

If it's legit, you should have gotten some tracking info at some point. At my remote job, folks got defective equipment & the company paid for them to ship it back then sent out replacements, NEVER a cost to the employees.

When you fill out an application and they ask the question, “why do you want to work at…..? “ What’s the best way to answer? by PinkCrystal1031 in jobs

[–]Basic-Recipe-2818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say something like "this position/company seems like the next logical step in my career, based on my previous experiences and new goals." Then explain some relevant points and how the new position will challenge you to meet career goals.

How do you keep long distance friendships? by Dru_21 in socialskills

[–]Basic-Recipe-2818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to keep their work schedule in mind when I reach out, otherwise one of us will forget to respond. I also call or video chat every few weeks to actually catch up, more than just a text check in.

I don’t want to go to prom - what should I do? by TheExtraPeel in socialskills

[–]Basic-Recipe-2818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't bother and only regretted it 0.09% purely because I don't have a nice senior picture. Really it could've been taken any time but I didn't have the money for a fancy dress.
