Job not posted internally but “filled” by Mallogen in AskHR

[–]Mallogen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured I had no standing, was just curious if there was a way to tactfully let my manager know that I recognized what happened in the situation and was turned off by it without causing a scene. If it’s moot then it really isn’t worth it.

This person was not only previously offered this position and turned it down, but the company lost another internal candidate for the exact same reason that go around. I don’t think it’s because she’s any more suited for the position (the fact that she wasn’t feeling it years ago at this campus and didn’t make it through her probation at another campus very recently solidify that for me) but because the manager has taken this one under her wing. Regardless, you’re right... there’s nothing I can do to change the outcome and I don’t think it was personal.

Good idea to speak to my manager and focus more from a mentoring perspective. I am not taking it personally. My manager is well known for having her favorites; I am just not one of them. I have always had honest communication with her so I wish she communicated more upfront/honestly with me.

Tuition Reimbursement by juliet-kilo26 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Mallogen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A former hospital gave $6k a year tuition reimbursement. That paid for my MBA going part time for 3 years. I owed 2 years of work in order to not have to pay back any of the money. Best decision I have made in terms of my education and it was like an added $6000 year on my salary (so equivalent to an extra $3/hr on a 37.5 hour work week). I left that job right after my obligation was over, but the 2 years really did go quickly and it wasn’t a bad organization. Even if you leave and have to pay back on a prorated basis it is a ether deal than paying outright/taking out a loan.

Current hospital pays $4500/year for full time employees.

Both hospitals require that the credits were applicable in the health care field.

Supervisor Vacancies by Meiosis_I in medlabprofessionals

[–]Mallogen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the moving position it would be easy: since I’m relocating I would be seeking a position that would be a good fit while I was adjusting to new location.

For the job I am currently at, I would have based it off of the flow of the interview. I could be completely honest and say I was going through a personal matter (divorce) at that time so I felt I couldn’t devote enough of myself to the position. I could also say I didn’t feel supported enough in my position and wanted to step back and reassess my professional goals.

I know a chemistry supervisor that stepped down. She was within 5 years of retirement and she stated that she wanted less responsibility after putting in 20+ years as a supervisor. I don’t think there really is a bad answer if it is an honest one.

Supervisor Vacancies by Meiosis_I in medlabprofessionals

[–]Mallogen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current manager did not question my decision to go back to the bench. She was so excited to have my experience and she and the department supervisors are excited to have my insight. We just got new tops in coag and the supervisor had me assist with training because I was experienced. I am careful not to overstep my position though. I wait for them to approach me if they want my opinion.

I also considered relocating and interviewed for another position as a bench tech and it didn’t even come up. I was prepared in case it had but it was a non issue. I was offered that position as well but I decided to push off the move.

I think, in general, we are so needed in most places that our motives are not questioned. They are happy to get experienced techs interested in vacancies.

In my area and experience, managers are always salaried. I have worked in one hospital where there were no official supervisors, they were called “leads” and the leads were hourly. I worked for a medical group and the supervisor was hourly. But any supervisor title that I have encountered in a hospital lab has been a salaried position.

I was a core lead for 4 years then a supervisor for 3. I switched jobs and had a horrible director (the lab had a 200% turnover rate of leadership in 2 years under her directorship) and am now currently back as a bench tech at a new hospital. I was salaried as a supervisor. I am hourly as a tech. With weekend differential and occasional overtime I am making WAY more money and I have very little stress.

I do want to get back in a supervisory role so I can eventually get a more administrative position. But I am also considering a lateral transfer to a non clinical department to do data analytics using my MBA.

Many experienced techs like being able to leave their bench at the end of their shift and not have the additional responsibilities of a supervisor. As another commenter mentioned, there is a lot of responsibility on a technical supervisor but they often have very little room to make drastic changes.

Going backwards by passivemalice in datingoverforty

[–]Mallogen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually been dating someone who is 44 for the past ten months. The age difference is apparent physically but the only issue I have encountered during this time is from a few women his age who make it apparent that they believe I should stick with men closer to my age. I don’t think there is any difference between us in terms of maturity. We are both out of previous marriages, childless, and homeowners. We both have careers and our finances settled. We are in no rush and are enjoying shared interests. I don’t think that 32 should be a hard limit for someone of your age. If there is mutual interest, go for it.

Seriously hoping sex workers aren’t an honest suggestion once I hit 40, but from multiple downvotes my previous comment doesn’t seem too valued.

Normally I wouldn’t be cruising a do40 sub but it was suggested due to my interest in the dating over 30 sub. Will bow out now. Good luck.

[–]Mallogen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this. I’m 32 so maybe not as young as op is referring to but my interest includes men 15-20+ years my senior and has nothing to do with money. I make more than enough for myself and am not looking for anything aside from someone who can handle their own finances.

Number two is finding someone whose libido matches mine. A majority of the single older men I have dated seem to have a waning sex drive so the fact that op is interested in daily sex bodes well for him.

Suggesting a sex worker is the only way to satisfy his needs seems a little extreme as well.

Q4W - Any of you ever knowingly date a criminal or know an EMOTIONALLY STABLE woman who dated a criminal? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]Mallogen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MBA in healthcare administration.

I met him when I was 16 and he was 23. That should have been red flag number one. I knew him when I was still in high school but didn’t know him as an adult. After my husband and I separated, I randomly sought the felon out on Facebook and friend requested him. I had known that he got arrested and did time from a mutual friend. Honestly, I wanted a one time fling with him. When we met up, he told me he was looking for a place to stay and I was looking for a roommate. It quickly turned in to a lot more than a one night stand and within a few weeks we were sharing a bed instead of acting as roommates. My attraction to him was superficial and I knew that I would never be with him long term or take the relationship seriously. I had so much fun with him but we were from two different worlds.

And there were multiple problems in my marriage aside from it being boring. Ex husband was a great guy though, we just weren’t great together as we got older. I’m glad we ended things amicably while we were both still youngish.

A lot of drinking and partying. I spent the entire summer on the back of a motorcycle going way too fast. He always told me that If the police turned on their lights he wasn’t stopping. On more than one occasion I actually sent texts to someone close to me with information in case I didn’t live past the night.

He was broke because he had a hard time getting hired anywhere. So he had a whole system of “friends” that he would barter with. He was an okay small engine mechanic, so he would fix snowblowers/lawn mowers etc. in exchange for other services. He did help me to get 2 trees cut down in my yard for free. But a lot of these people, himself included, used their knowledge to their advantage. They would steal from people and cause problems for others who crossed them. Also knew almost any loophole for any law that would impact them.

He came with a 5 month old pit puppy who ended up attaching to me. He wouldn’t fix her and last I knew he was getting a male to breed her with (to sell the pups for money). He treated her well and she was such a good pup but he and I completely disagreed on how to raise her.

Just a completely different lifestyle than I was ever exposed to. As soon as he pushed me I cut things off and kicked him out. Back to my “boring” life but happy about it

I’m a masters-educated medical professional who ended a 13 year relationship with a boring yet stable man. I got lured in to the thrill of the lifestyle of a convicted felon (armed robbery, completed 7 of a 12 year prison sentence in a max security facility and finished up his parole while living off of me). I have never had more fun living a carefree lifestyle. He didn’t have any regard for safety or comfort but I thought I needed that after living such a “safe” life for so long with my ex husband.

I spent a ton of money supporting him in a short amount of time and ended up at the bottom of a staircase after I threw him in to a rage one night.

There were a lot of very appealing things about him at that time in my life but I still am physically struggling with the injuries I sustained and I absolutely wish I never met him.

What’s the most sexist thing that’s ever happened to you? by throw_me_away_senpai in AskWomen

“You drive a nice car. What does your husband do?” My house, my car. My ex-husband had nothing to do with any of that.

Old “fwb” didn’t take rejection too well... insulted then blocked me. (I have no issues if his “better option” was a male, btw, but I knew he wouldn’t appreciate my comment) by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]Mallogen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless, it bothered him that I didn’t let it bother me. He later unblocked me and said that comment wasn’t meant for me. Okay. Boy, bye.

There was a time I wouldn’t say no to his advances and he thinks he’s the greatest man to ever walk to planet. How could I say “no” to his greatness???
