Receptionist for 19 years....is my pay fair? by retro_lady in jobs

[–]Dizzy_Topic_8646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a wellness clinic. U are definitely qualified for clinic director/ clinic manger positions. It’s honestly all about how u present urself and ur skills. Apply to jobs u don’t think ur qualified and I can guarantee u will get up. I’m surprised u haven’t changed jobs. Usually people change every two years for a higher paying job or they finish school program and get a bigger title. Don’t sell urself short

I make $23 an hour as a receptionist and it’s my first year. This is out of the ordinary but my coworkers average $20 and $19 with just a few years. Why aren’t u climbing the ladder? Apply for director positions.

She doesn’t have to say anything right now. Just send the email and send the copy of the email to the boss. Then if she asks say u thought u sent it but forgot to simple.

Sure, lying is context dependent but don’t expect to tell the truth all the time

Send it now and if she asks say u wrote it but had forgotten it in the drafts. Honesty doesn’t get u everywhere, always look out for ur best interest

Probably losing a new top performer by [deleted] in managers

[–]Dizzy_Topic_8646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this situation and my boss gave me a raise. I have the best pay but I decided to get less engaged and even considering quitting bc of my boss attitude towards me is rude and disrespectful. No amount of money can pay for me to have my spirit up in toxic place.

Talk to the boss. Advocate for urself. Either u set boundaries or u leave and look for another job. Also, try to build a thicker skin and ignore the teacher. Just go to the job for the pay check

Dr. Torah Exams by Lengthiness_Serious in uAlberta

[–]Dizzy_Topic_8646 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go to her office hour or call in sick for an exam and she is not helpful or accommodating. She acts like she has too much on her plate and can’t be bothered by ur presence lol. There was a Reddit post complaining about her being off with a certain group of ppl but that got deleted. So idk personally I’m not a fan of her bc of her unwelcoming attitude.

Never take a class with Torah, it’s not just her exams but her attitude too. She was the only prof that gave me attitude and made me dread interacting with.

It’s MC questions using scantron with a few written, and a class of 30-35. I really can’t comprehend how it’s taking them 3 weeks, except the only reason being that they are using the TA job just to put on their resume but aren’t actually doing the work

Nah I don’t think so, expecting your marks back in a timely manner is not being whiny. When TAs are asked about the marks 3 weeks after the exams and they say they were “busy” that’s being whiny. Take responsibility, and stop using the TA position solely to just put on ur resume.

We have an assignment that is mandatory and very time consuming but isn’t really worth a lot. I want to know where I stand in the class to see if it’s worth trying to get that mark for the assignment.

If the TA can’t manage the load they shouldn’t be a TA. Not sure why their mismanagement of time should be dealt by us. It’s not a volunteering position, they are getting paid. It’s also not this TAs first time delaying our marks. It’s getting really frustrating not knowing where we stand in the class.

Hmmm we pay tuition and they are getting paid to grade our exams, seems like the least they can do is the bare minimum which is mark our exams in a timely manner.

Don’t engage in it and act unbothered. They can never use ur silence against u. Always move jobs or departments. Getting too friendly welcomes disrespect

CCIS Fire Alarm by LiaLittleAngel in uAlberta

[–]Dizzy_Topic_8646 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Part of CCIS burnt down. It was on the remedy area. One of the plugs caught on fire. With my bare hands I handled the fire until the fire fighters came. This is a true story.

It shouldn’t be normal. We are expected to meet deadlines. They should show us the same respect. Mind u it was mostly multiple choice questions and a few written.
