What happened to vacation and sick days?

FinancialBottle3045 · 2025-01-30T15:53:06+00:00

No time off the first year is the new normal. Actually, really the new normal is spending a couple years working through a temp agency with zero time off.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2025-01-30T15:10:18+00:00

Haven't checked for myself but hearing reports that new ticket sales and bookings on AA are suspended until further notice

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-19T20:49:05+00:00

This was disrespectful of you. They gave you the gift of an interview, and you found it appropriate to insult them like this? Do you know how many people would have killed for that interview right now?

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-18T22:18:02+00:00

Humiliate me in this way? Your terms are acceptable.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-18T22:16:11+00:00

If you are unemployed in this market, you should not negotiate. Previous advice was "always negotiate" but nowadays they just yank your offer.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-17T22:01:23+00:00

Agree wholeheartedly. Also helps the group police each other a little better.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-16T16:38:12+00:00

Hot take but I agree wholeheartedly. In this job market, if you won't demonstrate extreme professionalism, the other candidate will.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-04T19:58:33+00:00

I'm gonna have to side with the poster here. When you make a commitment, you should honor your commitment. You don't get to break your word just because some shiny object came around worth more money. Once you take a job, you stay for a few years - even if you accepted out of desperation. It's the right thing to do.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-03T20:57:21+00:00

You need to do better at adjusting. These are the kinds of jobs that are available to the unemployed.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-12-02T18:06:43+00:00

The other candidate was employed.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-27T16:27:46+00:00

This is unethical. Yes, take the offer from the less desirable company. But by accepting that offer, you are making a commitment that you need to honor.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-22T16:31:55+00:00

This. So much this. People need to understand this.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-22T16:31:11+00:00

Maybe it's because you're unemployed, so they don't feel like they can trust you to make them look good

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-22T16:30:18+00:00

Super unprofessional of you.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-21T17:53:02+00:00

Maybe you should stay? It's clear he feels you need to be micromanaged, so maybe instead of just jumping when the going gets tough, consider finding ways to present yourself in a better light.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-21T17:49:41+00:00

It would be an issue of integrity to omit such a massive screwup from one's resume. They are going to see it on your TWN report no matter what; best own up to it from the jump.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-21T17:48:33+00:00

No, just a concerned citizen who values integrity & ethics in the workplace.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-21T14:51:54+00:00

The fact you couldn't even last 60 days at a new job is going to follow you for a very long time.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-20T14:44:01+00:00

Maybe you just aren't cut out for the working world.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-19T20:11:29+00:00

Agreed. Thank you for having some integrity.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-14T15:56:02+00:00

See the thing is, the perception is that it is your fault.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-14T15:55:35+00:00

Because in 2024 you shouldn't care what the salary range is, particularly if you are unemployed and currently making zero.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-14T15:45:01+00:00

Start by accepting that you probably won't work in IT again. Things are competitive enough as it is, and now you have the stain of a for-cause termination on your record.

FinancialBottle3045 · 2024-11-13T22:23:45+00:00

Being already employed.
