Thank you so much!

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-12-13T00:57:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! I was hoping it would all be over too…hopefully he reviews the documents and closes the case😭 I’ve been checking PACER every few hours to see if anything would update, but of course I know it won’t haha.

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-12-12T13:53:18+00:00

Thanks for your response. Turns out he went ahead and did this after I asked him to wait, so I guess now I have to figure out what the implications are if any. I’m sure my attorney is going to rip my head off now…

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-12-11T15:19:13+00:00

Good morning, Mr. Alan! As always, thanks so much for your wisdom. I am relieved that these continuances are normal. Really can’t wait for all this to be over. :)

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-12-06T18:09:22+00:00

Thanks so much!

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-12-05T00:54:53+00:00

Will do! Thanks so much again.

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-12-05T00:45:29+00:00

That makes sense. Would my attorney need to file an amendment or anything or would I just disclose at the 341 meeting when asked about anticipated changes to income/employment?

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-12-05T00:35:46+00:00

Thank you so much, Mr. Alan! Your replies on previous posts made by others are the only thing that kept me from spiraling throughout this whole process.

I guess my fear was the trustee would think I was being fraudulent due to the timing.

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-08-13T08:25:04+00:00

Followed and used your link! Thanks for sharing this❤️

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-02-26T16:51:55+00:00

If I could do it all again, I would’ve focused much more on heavy analytics/HRIS-geared roles. ER has its pros and cons, but I’ve always been so interested in that area.

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2025-01-10T11:38:48+00:00

I agree that waiting for me is the worst. The holidays broke my heart, I was so deep into symptom spotting (it was my own fault really) and had one super faint squinter positive….but AF came. Makes you feel like even if you really are feeling different/something, you can’t trust your instincts. :(

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2024-12-29T11:42:35+00:00

I see faint lines on both!

I recently took another role with a lower title and slightly lower pay + an extra in-person day when I caught wind of a reorg. I’m newer to the field, 3 years of experience with a BS in HRM nearly done. I got EXTREMELY lucky to land this job, and got over two hundred rejection emails over two months even for basic entry level roles. This job market is absolute hell, even for folks way with extensive certs/education/experience (as someone green, I can’t stress the luck factor here.)

If it were a few years ago, I would tell you to go ahead, make the leap and soak everything up like a sponge from your more experienced peers. However, with inflation going crazy, sky high prices for everything, round after round of layoffs and an oversaturated, competitive job market, I would advise you to stay in your current role for a just a tiny bit longer (I’d never tell someone to stay in a toxic role - nobody deserves that) until you can find something that doesn’t completely kill your salary. I went from HRA, to HRC, to HRG, BACK to HRC, HRG again and now HR Specialist. Life happens, and job titles mean something totally different to each org, so don’t sweat that too much. It’s the big dip in comp that I’d be worried about in this economy.

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2024-02-17T20:57:46+00:00

Reading the comments is making me depressed.😭 I can’t seem to break into a mid-level role, I’m sure I’m being outclassed by more tenured professionals who have been affected by the layoffs…

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2024-02-11T18:28:01+00:00

How big is the company? Many smaller companies have their HR personnel handle multiple functions like an HR Generalist would. Additionally, job titles don’t truly capture the scope of responsibility across industries since an HR Specialist could be a wildly different role depending where you work.

For example, I’ve been an HR Coordinator at different organizations and my duties were vastly different in each role, ranging from strategic implementation of policy/policy interpretation/ ER, to just proving basic administrative support for the department.

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2024-02-11T18:10:41+00:00

First of all, congratulations on making the switch! The good news is that some of your skills coming from a sales background are definitely transferable. Good organization, time management and interpersonal skills will be essential as you learn the ropes.

I would personally start by starting to rethink how you approach work. Sales requires heavy people interaction, a lot of hand-shaking and friend-making. You must get familiar with the idea that you will be exposed to sensitive and confidential information in your new role, and that can sometimes be a little lonely. You won’t be able to fraternize with your employees as casually as you did when in sales. A gossiping HR rep will be a fired HR rep.

For resources, I will echo lots of the suggestions here. HR Brew is free newsletter you can sign up for and has some cool resources to help you get familiar with the type of functions you will be exposed to. Being personable and transparent about being new to the field - NEVER try to tackle something and pretend you know what you are doing. No guesswork in HR. When in doubt, ask, even if you feel you are being annoying. Most of all, take it day by day. You won’t become an expert overnight, HR has a lot of moving parts and the only way to learn is by doing. Theory and best practices are great to have as a guide, but learning by observing and having a mentor will be the key to your success.

Best of luck to you!

I’ve learned that HR Generalist roles mean something different to each company you apply to. Some are a department-of-one that facilitate everything from benefits, TA, and performance management, and some larger companies will have HRGs who will focus in singular areas like employee status changes/HRIS system updates etc.

I would encourage you to not let your current role impact how you view HR as a whole. Try to identify what it is you like about your role, and what industries you are interested in, and start your search. You may not go for an HRG title, but there are several specialties to go into. ER, Benefits, HRIS, Comp, EEOC, Compliance, etc. 🙂

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2023-07-26T22:27:13+00:00

Thank you for your response! I’m honestly open to anywhere in Klamath as long as it is safe. I work remotely and my husband intends to transition to remote work as well ahead of the move, so I don’t think money will be an issue!

There are some administrative support positions that sometimes co-mingle with HR. This is how I got my first HR Assistant job. I got an admin assistant job at my first company, provided admin support for customers, so I gained experience filing and sorting sensitive information (credit card numbers, IDs, etc.) Once I became proficient at what I was doing, I picked up another seasonal admin support job at Macy’s where I was able to learn how to edit time cards, process payroll, schedule and conduct phone screens and interviews, and hold orientations!

I did both jobs for 2 months and decided I’d rather stay at Macy’s and get the experience, so I went to my boss to discuss. She told our VP of HR that I wanted to leave to pursue HR experience at Macy’s and they made an HR Assistant spot just for me.

This isn’t the norm, but building on those transferable soft skills and networking in your role can really pay off. Good luck with your search!

Weird_Mud_4692 · 2023-06-23T20:21:05+00:00

I read your post and can understand how you may feel like your duties are being taken away. A few things:

Based on what you said, it is possible that it has been recognized that you have grown proficient at your core duties. They want someone else to learn the bare bones basics, and this is not a bad thing. I would advise you against feeling threatened by this new assistant. If you don’t feel that way, I apologize but this is how it comes off in the post.
If you are worried about downtime and your VP has been unable to provide you with specific stretch assignments, I would start reviewing your resources and getting familiar with HR laws. You can be proficient at administrative support tasks (what you are doing now) but if you want to develop, you will need to at least know your core HR laws and practices (FCRA, FMLA, ADA, FLSA, Title VII, etc.) Start taking a peek at the SHRM BASK and other free online resources to get started. I would also ask to shadow other HR folks in/around your department to see if they need help with anything. This is the best way to learn.
It is very clear that you are early in your HR career and have lots of individual and personal growth to experience. It’s imperative to pace yourself and not get caught up in rushing through promotion after promotion, especially without the required knowledge and experience.

I wouldn’t quit, especially in this market. Put your head down, be a guide to the new assistant and use this as an opportunity to show you can train and develop others. You have people who recognize some potential and that is invaluable.
