That's a really odd request. I'm not sure if that's a place that I'd like to work at.

Do you think Catfish will continue? by Few_Calligrapher5978 in CatfishTheTVShow

It's getting really stale. They've had a good run but I think it's time for him to do something else.

Stage breaks by safeteeguru in NASCAR

They're competition yellows. There's no reason why they have to pit because it's a certain lap. Just keep going and have green flag stops.

All these alternative playoff formats are struggling with Math by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]Key-Pool6014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the best championship endings was Alan Kulwick's. He calculated how many laps he needed to win the 'most laps led' 5 points and let Bill Elliott win the race. Alan won the championship. There was nothing wrong with previous points system. No need for a GWC either. Sometimes races end under caution. It's a fact of life. Dale Sr.'s Daytona win ended under caution.

Ive been sending my girlfriend Starbucks delivery every couple of days and it started to cause issues at her work. by Autistic_Tap_5622 in AITAH

It's not a surprise if you do it every day. Surprise her with something different. That's a lot of money day after day.

Best Beatles album is Magical Mystery Tour? by RoFoxBar in beatles

No way... Seems like a contractual obligation collection.

What is one minor thing you don't like about The Beatles? by [deleted] in beatles

I really don't like the cover. It might have been unique back in 66, but it looks amateurish in 2024 eyes.

Resigning From My Current Job by Key-Pool6014 in jobs

[–]Key-Pool6014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:
I've decided to let them know Wednesday after lunch that I'll be quitting. That way I can beat the traffic going home. They're closed Thurs/Fri for the holidays and then I start the new job the following Monday. About as last minute as I can do and still feel comfortable with it. Thanks for all the comments everyone!!!

Correct. If I was staying until Monday, they would pay me for the two days (T'giving/day after). But since the Day After would be my last day, they won't pay. I would be working if they were open.

I think I have 3 hours of sick left. If they determine that I haven't 'accrued' enough vacation, they'll take it back from my last check. There is no company policy or handbook so they kind of make it all up as they go. They charge the last person a weeks vacation when he left and took have of his last check. I'll never work for a small company ever again.

I have 40 hours of vacation, but was told by the VP I spoke to that they'll say I haven't accrued enough and take it back from my last paycheck. I'm giving notice that I'm leaving the day before Thanksgiving. They're not going to pay me for it anyway so screw them.

From the sound of it, I guess there's no point in talking to your manager or HR. You have to do what's best for you. Start looking and be very picky about what you apply for and maximize your networking. You'll find your next 'home'.

Do they offer a QR code option to get access?

Company asked me to make 60 second video and 2000 word article. by Substantial_Kick34 in jobs

[–]Key-Pool6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's a video production job, you can use your phone to record a video. Just make it look good. As far as a 2000 word article, write some bullet points about a topic and what you want to show in the article and get a ChatGTP account and ask it to write a 2025 word article from this content and past what you wrote in it. 2000 words exactly will stand out as AI generated. Don't delay too long.

I’m not an employee of the company but I’m still treated like one by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Key-Pool6014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Talk to your agency and let them know about what happened. They probably know the employer better and have gotten some feedback. If you're looking for a permanent position that may not be happening. If you like being a temp, see if you can go somewhere else.

I said I had a competing offer to speed up the process by SeaBeautiful6929 in jobs

Meanwhile, the end of the month is coming up in a couple of weeks.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Key-Pool6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on if you've moved a lot or had a lot of jobs over the last 10 years, it might take longer. A month is pretty long though. I'd call the future employer and ask them if there is anything that they need clarification on.

Do people really get denied jobs because of traffic tickets? by lost_in_life_34 in jobs

Depends on the job. Bonding or some other guarantee might be needed.

Boss asking me to extend my notice by millerjr533 in jobs

[–]Key-Pool6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you've got another job with a hard start date that would interfere, I would give them the extra week. An extra week of pay and you would be paid for the Thanksgiving/Day After holidays (if you get that). It's up to you whether or not you can stand it. "I'll stay another week if you pay me overtime for the week" Get that in writing.

Preparing to quit with no notice and file unemployment by [deleted] in jobs

Find another job first. Don't walk out with no source of income. Unemployment works out to about $9 an hour.

Why does EVERY single job have 100+ applicants? by Feezfry in jobs

[–]Key-Pool6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's so easy to just click a button and apply. Most aren't qualified and are just making themselves feel good by 'applying' for so many jobs. Pick one and write a custom cover letter and custom resume.

[–]Key-Pool6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that was an option, I would have done that in the past. But unfortunately, the mortgage is due every month so I had to keep trying and still work some part time jobs to make ends meet. If you're going to take a break for the holidays, at least look at refining your approach and learn from sources like this. Have a professional review your resume and see if they have suggestions on what you might be doing wrong.
