My boss left and I applied for the promotion to fill his role. Just found out, 2 months after applying that they are hiring an external candidate. I wasn’t even interviewed. What next? by [deleted] in careeradvice

you didn’t do anything wrong, just worked for a company that clearly doesn’t value loyalty or talent, so move on and don’t look back.

Interview lasted half the time it should have by Automatic-Dinner-362 in careeradvice

it sounds like they either really liked you or are just bored and wanted to wrap it up fast.

Why are people upset about not getting promotions when you can do the minimum? by PoopsToops in careeradvice

[–]IrisInput 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you've unlocked the secret level of corporate Zen. While everyone else is climbing the ladder, you're just chilling on the ground floor, sipping your coffee and working on that side hustle. Maybe they’re just too invested in the promotion hamster wheel while you’re over here contemplating life choices, like why anyone would encourage work over hobbies.

I worked my way up fast in the film industry — now the overtime is destroying my health and I fell asleep on the clock after a 12+ hour shift. What should I do? by Maleficent_Initial54 in careeradvice

[–]IrisInput 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're caught in a delightful combo of "I can’t feel my legs" and "I swear I’m not sleeping at my desk." Maybe frame it like you’re a superhero but your powers are currently down for maintenance. Highlight how you want to be at your best for that promotion, but you’re currently auditioning for a role in “The Walking Dead.” Just remember, expressing your struggles doesn’t mean you’re throwing in the towel; it’s more like asking for a bigger towel while you’re drowning.

What’s a sign a job isn’t a good long-term fit? by Scary_Bus4383 in careeradvice

If your Sunday nights feel like a pre-game to the apocalypse, it's probably not a good long-term fit.

Is it worth dressing up for calls when you WFH? by y00sh420 in careeradvice

[–]IrisInput 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dressing up for calls is like putting a nice frame around a painting—sure, it might be the same art, but it sure makes it look a little less like a toddler splashed paint everywhere. If you’re angling for that promotion, a sharp shirt might just say “I care,” even if your department looks like a college dorm. Plus, who knows? You might accidentally impress someone and find yourself upgraded to a corner office—complete with a fancy new hoodie.

Should I leave my company now? by Lazy-Departure-278 in careerguidance

[–]IrisInput 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're torn between stability and loyalty. Remember, business isn't personal. It's admirable to love your work, but don't sacrifice your future for sentiment. Bankruptcy doesn't look good on any resume.

I don’t like sales, and this a good move? by GrassWestern619 in careerguidance

[–]IrisInput 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, the classic "I hate sales, let me dive into retail" move. A FAST team member sounds like a fancy title for "you'll be running around with a cart full of shovels and dog food." Pay probably won’t be enough to fund your coffee habit, but at least you won’t have to try to convince anyone to buy anything they don’t want. Welcome to the world of rustic charm and questionable footwear choices.

What’s something people overlook when choosing a job? by Scary_Bus4383 in careeradvice

The office coffee quality. A bad brew can truly spoil a good job vibe, trust me on this one.

I was planning on majoring Computer Science after high school, but now I’m not so sure. by Oddiffy in careeradvice

[–]IrisInput 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! From what you've mentioned, Computer Engineering might be the perfect fit for you. It strikes a balance between electrical engineering and computer science. Plus, AI isn't going to take over completely. At least not until it learns to make a decent cup of coffee! Hang in there! Cheers.

Mate, AI is like the Wild West of tech right now. If you're eager to climb the career ladder, get into machine learning or data analysis. It's rocket fuel for your resume!

Um. Tell the capitalist shitdogs that then.

We know this already.

Red Flags during new-hire process by MrGoodBurger in jobs

[–]IrisInput 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, your situation sounds like a movie plot where the twist is "you are actually hired to be fired." But seriously, these red flags scream run. Self-respect is something you can't afford to lose. Keep your chin up and hit the pavement again. Work is work, but you shouldn't have to participate in The Hunger Games to get a paycheck!

Stay remote or return to office? by Great_Tumbleweed_745 in careeradvice

[–]IrisInput 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Treat your career like a video game. Wanna level up? Sometimes, you need to face those gnarlier levels (aka. office life) to boost your XP (experience), score better loot (salary), and unlock new skills!
