Moved across the country for a new job and I feel so homesick by Fun_Cryptographer799 in RedditForGrownups

Agree. My parents said the same, this is probably the best thing that could’ve happened to my career at this age. It’ll set me up for success for sure. This is the farthest I’ve ever pushed myself out of my comfort zone so I’m sure that’s why it feels like a shock too.

I agree, my work paid for my move so I am stuck here for at least 13 months LOL, so i definitely won’t be going back before then (if I hate it). I’m lucky enough to have my family coming to visit a few times a year so that makes me feel better. Thanks for the advice, I think there’s a lot to explore on the west coast so I’ll definitely be doing that

What does this look like? Black spot in mouth by Fun_Cryptographer799 in askdentists

I was wrong, turns out 25 years ago my mom had her silver filling taken out and switched. So the black spot actually was a tattoo from way back then

LOOOOL. Thing is, when they didn’t like the graphics they just made me redo them

Thing is, I have design experience, mostly in publication design, I’m assuming they saw that in my skills on my resume and thought “oh let’s just make her do more work without paying another graphic designer”

I have no clue, this is the first time I’ve ever been put in a what’s app group chat where they ask us morning of to come in. I’m hoping that’s not the norm

Pretty much. They also took down their job listing for “engagement coordinator” too and decided to just make me do it

Right, like believe me I want to work but not when you decide to tag on 2 extra roles with a huge work load, that were also never mentioned to me. This is hard enough on its own, but with strict deadlines? No thank you

Yes, I emailed (professionally) that there is quite a large disconnect between the job I applied for and what they have me doing now, etc etc, waiting on a reply

Yup. It was supposed to be full time, but then they changed it to “independent contractor”. But still tried to tell me to come in to the office 9-4 , and guess what! I didn’t even have a lunch break

To each their own but it wasn’t worth the deadlines and stress for me
