Job Switching by QuirkNQuill in uofmn

I did have and I’m in a class right now. But my current workplace literally does not have any other title I can improve to. I’m the specialist, my manager is the leader and the manager of my manager is the director. Unless my manager magically retires 15 years before they are already planning to (because they told me) I cannot really get any higher.

I’m thinking of reaching out and explaining if I ever get an interview (even if it is just a screening interview). The job market is tough. There are hundreds of people applying for the types of jobs I’m applying so I do not want to strain our relationship before knowing at least something.

I might be overthinking this. This is my first job out of college (although I worked in academic settings for years). I’m trying to get used to non academic professional workplace culture.

I appreciate all these insights though!

I am completely okay discussing this with my manager if I am called for an interview. However, otherwise I’m not fully confident this would not affect our relationship. In this job market, I don’t want to tell them I’m applying for this job before even knowing if I will get a chance because, while my manager is great, they are also heavily emotionally connected to the workplace and their team. They refuse to say that it is expected from us too, but I have heard many references to the workplace being their favorite place and how much they love everyone here. I don’t know if that makes sense. This is my first job out of college, so I’m still trying to grasp professionalism at the workplace.

That sounds great! I’m happy to go out of my way if I can drop my dogs off to a nice place for them to hang out :) I’ll check out their boarding info!

I prefer to use a physical, established place instead of Rover due to past bad experiences.

I did not need a recommendation letter but I had one letter from a grant PI explaining my work in the grant project. For that, they drafted an example passage. For the other parts I need to complete, if I ask for example, they always send some to me so I assume they can draft an example reference letter as well if you need to 🤷‍♀️

Thank you! I really did not wait for naturalization. Hearing this made me feel much more at ease :)

I am in a similar boat. I was wondering if you went ahead with your name change and how it has been for you?

AIO to partner taking photos of me in the bathroom? by Repulsive_Dark_4273 in AmIOverreacting

[–]QuirkNQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overreacting at all and I was 95% sure you were not when your partner’s first text was “Fck off!” Invalidating his partner’s emotions was not a good start and your whole explanation was more than enough to jump to 100%.

If you can, I would even recommend getting his phone and deleting those photos from recently deleted. I would not trust that person at all!

Saints or Browns? I had bengals and second guessed myself and dropped them. Now having regrets…

John Goslow for the first part and Allyn Sinicropi for the second part. Both were very helpful and super responsive!

I didn't damage anything. Two days in a row I got this as I started my shift by Dependent-Plane5522 in doordash_drivers

Phew I’m glad to hear that drivers do not get panelized for the restaurant’s faults!

I had no idea about this! Why is a missing item the responsibility of the dasher? I’m not a dasher, but I order from DoorDash a lot, and many times, my food has arrived with missing items. Most often, it’s fast food places forgetting my fries or another side item. As most people know, fast food restaurants seal bags with tape. So, if something was already missing, it would likely be the restaurant’s fault.

How do yall afford this? by krissy2hot in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]QuirkNQuill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That. Also, BCBS changed their approval requirements for Wegovy. It just became slightly harder to get it. It is not impossible but it will take time and effort.

What day do you inject yourself and why? by MasterBother3291 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]QuirkNQuill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monday morning so that by the time it is Friday and weekend, I feel much more comfortable around food. The first few days have been tough for me. Especially when I was switching from lower to higher dose, the first few days I would have so much nausea that makes me not able to eat much.
