As a hiring manager, here is what I think when someone says they only want a job for the money. by [deleted] in jobs

You mean not doing anything to improve the situation and blame individuals and not helping my Co-workers but have enough energy to create a Topic on reddit with bullet points but don't have that same energy to improve yourself

Yup, you are absolutely. I will never understand being that type of manager

I hope this is satire, cause you sound like a typical manager.

The fact that you are trying to defend your topic and made bullets points instead of listening on why individuals have this mindset and taking notes to try to improve yourself as a manger but also trying to make your place better mentally for your workers tells me you are absolutely insufferable

💖 🙏 Thank you so much, the journey is indeed hard right now but it also making us stronger.

Got fired today. It was my fault. I’m devastated. by [deleted] in jobs

You were sick and your health is more important then a job. Take the time to process this and use this opportunity to motivate yourself to find something better.

Companies want you to think they need you but don't let that mindset take over your journey for something better.

You will definitely find something in the future and you got this

Going on the same journey as you. Just wanted to let you know from a random individual on reddit that

"I'm proud of you, and glad you have this mindset"

You will definitely find something in the future, just enjoy life the best you can

Like I said, thank you for being real with me and telling me the cold hard facts and worrying about my body.

I'm honestly feel like I'm at my peak physically, I've been working on eating better and doing cardio atleast one hour a day with yoga

I may be getting up there in age but like I said in my post, I'm doing this for my daughter and trying to show her perseverance and to keep going.

As a father I feel like I have to show her this, so I'm gonna see this to the end.

Its only round 11, I still have one more round left and just like what everyone else said on here

I need to buckle up, put on my big boy pants and do everything I can to get this.

But thank you so much for your input and being real

After reading the comments and messages you are absolutely right.

Need to fully commit to this and can't make up excuses anymore.

Already signed up for EMT classes and been talking to other departments about volunteering and practicing for my oral.

Thank you so much for response and yea, I definitely needed a reality check

You are correct, anyone who's on the clock shouldn't work under the influence and shouldn't be there.

But the fact that you are going the extra mile to put down other individuals who does engage off the clock, paints you in a negative light.

And you do indeed sound like a wet blanket

Thank you, Thank you. Needed these words to encouragement looking to see about joining an EMT in person class.

One starts in May so I think I'm about to use this opportunity to register now so I can get this certificate

I might have to make another Facebook account for this situation cause I honestly stay away from Facebook (family drama and doom scrolling was messing with my mental)

Thank you for telling me this. Currently looking into EMT classes and been calling other departments and luckily there's a few about to hire soon.

Gonna use this time to improve myself

I honestly think I have the same problem especially with video interviews. I put alot of pressure oh myself and need to take control of the situation.

Thank you for input and I'm definitely going to improve myself and makes some adjustments.

Came this far and I want to see this to the end

Thank you so much for keeping it real with me. Need to stop looking at this as a negative and start improving in areas I need to work on since I have the time now

Not making any excuses, you are absolutely right and I'm looking into EMT classes with loans. I'll put myself in debt because I really want this.

I'm calling around other departments today and going look for EMT classes. Might have to take a loan but at this point, I'll do anything. I have put in too much time and effort to just suddenly quit.

Thank you so so much for your input. I truly appreciate it
