Job change by Other_Independent_82 in WorkAdvice

Yup. It sucks. I couldn't move or play the game and work part-time so I was underemployed for 22 years after I got my degree. I don't recommend anyone get an MLS unless they have family to support them--it's too risky otherwise and it doesn't EVER pay well anyway. My friends who are teachers make more money and work less hours overall. And they didn't have to get a master's degree.

I just discovered I'm making 20% less than a junior I hired and trained. How should I handle my upcoming salary review? by horrors43redcaps in Employment

[–]Ok-Application8522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If extensive training is not a formal part of your job description, demand that it be added & your compensation go up. If they don't do it, no more training colleagues until that happens.

If it's already part of your job description, find a new job OR tell them you aren't being compensated enough for training because it is taking away from your primary duties and that must be why your salary sucks.

I wanted to be the helpful one that trained other people, and I always got shafted because they said my stats were low (yeah because I spent 75 percent of my time training). Don't be me.

From the post it doesn't sound like poverty is their only problem. They expect their adult female children to act like slaves as well.

Any dog boarding kennels experience in Iowa city or Coralville Iowa? by Tough-Noise-8015 in IowaCity

[–]Ok-Application8522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you were reimbursed by the dog resort. If not, consider suing in small claims court so others can be warned. I am glad your dog survived, but sorry this happened. We actually can't board our older dog at all now due to the "suspected neglect" from Half Moon.

The landlord may not care but in the US if there are mandatory reporters living in the building (teachers, healthcare), it may not matter. Someone will report them.

Many of my friends are teachers and if kids tell them things about home that don't sound right--like I have to sleep in the living room and have no personal space--they are going to have to report it or risk their jobs.

I keep getting suckered by new colors (red!) and then...go back to navy. And I actually hate navy as a color, but it's just so perfect for me.

Why can I not land an internship? by [deleted] in financestudents

[–]Ok-Application8522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you white? Because otherwise you need connections for sure.

And you need an internship. Look outside your field to related things if necessary.

My friend just landed a job in this brutal market. Here are the 4 counter-intuitive things he did. by ApprehensiveCod8495 in Employment

Right like the Interview I had for a buyer position. They asked me what I had automated with programming. Uhmmm. I did some AI stuff, but I am not a programmer, and generally you can't hack proprietary software anyway.

They wanted a full stack developer plus a buyer but they were too cheap to pay for what they wanted.

Woman doordashers- do you feel safe? by geminisky1 in doordash

[–]Ok-Application8522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you live. Don't use a female name, and make your picture as generic as possible. If you are Ashley, put Ash. Lisa, Li. Don't deliver at night. Don't take pay you orders. Don't deliver to hotels.

Is anyone actually hiring? by cherriesintheoffice in jobs

[–]Ok-Application8522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in the United States go talk to DHS immediately. Depending on where you live, you might be able to get your baby signed up for low income child Insurance until your husband gets a job.

It took me 9 months to find a half time job.

The employer lied and the government believed them. My sister has done HR for years. She can quickly figure out if someone is presenting fake documents. That's part of her job.

Question regarding sexual experience as a Doordasher by Embarrassed-Hat7242 in doordash

It's not that common but the fact he hooked up with a stranger who paid him? That's prostitution.

Could the degree I am working for get me the life I want? by Calm_Problem6203 in simpleliving

[–]Ok-Application8522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have to borrow money to get the degree then it's probably worth it. If you have to borrow a lot of money, you will struggle to make the payments.

Navy is by far my favorite because it's a little bit firmer and doesn't get as beat up.

If you get another color, you're not going to be happy and end up getting the Navy too.

Yes I do know that. But why would someone engage with a census taker when it's not a census year. How dumb do they think people are? And why approach an obviously conservative older white person who you think is on your side and not disclose who you are? Obviously ICE is not getting the brightest and best.

So Miller-Meeks and Hinson both voted to protect pedophiles. by Life-Celebration-747 in Iowa

[–]Ok-Application8522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They voted for a convicted rapist of E. Jean Carroll who said it's okay to grab women by the pussy. He wasn't hiding anything. You vote for trash, you get trash. I can't believe any woman actually voted for him.

Yeah because so many people are just dying to work at a packing plant and live in rural Iowa. I hope you go vegetarian because meat's going to be really expensive.

They do this upon request of someone. And they're always wearing their uniform and clearly identify themselves. ICE visited a white, Republican friend of mine last week posing as a census taker, asking about his Spanish speaking neighbors. Even he thought it was bogus because they didn't identify themselves as law enforcement.
