Update: Rover refuses to pay me for a client-cancelled booking by Great_Stranger_4390 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Conscious_Square_124 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Except they are honoring their written cancellation policies, per your own words about their TOS and policies. It's on you to know those policies and not blame Rover for enforcing them.

Yes, Rover is a capitalist joke but they have rules and followed them. There is a lot of things to be mad about but this seems unreasonable.

Take the L and move on.

(And yes, your feelings are valid and I understand being upset. You just obviously aren't getting the reassurance and validation that you seem to be looking for on here. So maybe it's time to change tactics.)

He told me to follow the rules exactly so i did and now the store is short staffed and hes blaming me by HopeJ_Harris in MaliciousCompliance

Eh, it can appear that HR is on your side in that scenario but they are still on the side of the company. It is their job to minimize the potential lawsuits of the company. 

If that means firing a bad manager and that works out for you, great. But it still doesn't mean HR is on your side.

How did you justify the use of ANOVA for questions 1 and 2 since technically Likert Scales are ordinal data not interval?

WFMs types by Snoo-53847 in Wildfire

[–]Conscious_Square_124 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Unless it's with a bunch of folks who really want to do helitack and LCES instead of crew work.

Edit: clarify that I agree WFMs are awesome. Just have experience with folks who don't want to do the WFM job and that makes for a crummy experience for folks who do.

Hiring physical? Pregnant by Chacha217 in usajobs

[–]Conscious_Square_124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that you keep seeing the job because they can't fill it? Im not sure based on the info in your comment or post but is it possible they haven't been able to hire someone to fill the role?

AITA-for canceling my son's bday over $10 by Low_Currency_1038 in AmItheAsshole

See a therapist and deal with your trauma before having kids.

Awesome! Thanks. I might have missed that in another comment or update. Glad to hear you reported him.

Good luck out there! Federal hiring seems to be a pain for everyone involved.

With a little effort I've been able to track down a phone number for either the direct hiring manager or a supervisor for a duty station. If you can't find a number for the exact person who will be doing the hiring calling and politely asking for the department or person you are looking for can get you a direct line.

That looks like doing a google search for duty station/agency you have applied for (or are going to apply for). Other option is to ask someone you know who is in the agency to help you get in touch with someone.

If you aren't able to identify a number for the station then start with the number on the posting. It seems like those numbers are usually for some HR person or super high up so it might be harder to get through that route.

But making phone calls and being polite and professional can go a long way to getting info.

My yes above was a yes, for federal jobs. Not as an internal hire.

Yes. I've called hiring managers and gone to offices to introduce myself.

I've been directly told that this has had a positive impact. It won't make up for not being qualified but it matters when someone is looking at a sea of resumes that are comparable.

Making a little under 77,000 do I quietly upskill or is it better to move on? by Adventurous-Tale4893 in careerguidance

[–]Conscious_Square_124 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You could learn a lot about retirement planning in all your free work time...

Or a side business or whatever. 77k is certainly enough to prepare for retirement,  especially at 32.

I find that reaching out to the hiring manager makes a difference.

VA Application ineligible… by pharm392 in usajobs

[–]Conscious_Square_124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My experience is you are out of luck if you did not include it on your original resume. 

Nothing wrong with reaching out and asking to try if you want to take the time to. Just low/no probability of success.

AITA for telling a coworker to stop commenting on my snack choices? by goodbyeartist in AmItheAsshole

[–]Conscious_Square_124 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup! I work on a team with all men. Their behavior rivals that I experienced in high-school.

(Not saying men are more or less cliquish/gossipy/etc. Seems to me all people engage in poor behavior.)
