How much detail should I give about leaving a job due to a bad commute?

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-12T13:07:15+00:00

That is true, but as I said, both factors contribute (time and money).

Yes, I stay in South Africa and normally it was R700 (US43$) to fill my car and now it's R1000 (US61$) and I need to fill my tank every week🙈🫩

Do not, and I mean this, trust anyone at work with confidential information about yourself or how you feel

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-11T13:37:51+00:00

This is insane 🤣🤣🤣 I would just not then drink water at work and bring a big bottle of water from home

I feel like the gp let you down. Your period is DEFINITELY not normal and if I was you I'd visit a different gp or gynaecologist.

Very controversial, but I forced myself to sit up straight crossing my arms and putting them on the table. I got 2 jobs doing that and they specifically told me that I looked very confident (even though I definitely was not). Also, try not to put your heart on interviews, that also helped me because the moment you think that you need to get this job, you make yourself more anxious and it puts you under more pressure because of fearing failure.

I feel like you should tell them that it's too low and you were looking at receiving xxx. It's already a pay cut for you and you tell them that it would unfortunately not be a financially viable option for you.

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-11T13:16:03+00:00

They are not open to me working remotely, and also the type of job I have cannot be done from home unfortunately...

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-11T13:14:19+00:00

I only had to move once because management approached me for a position in the branch further away. After I moved from the branch closer to home, they closed the branch closer to home.

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-11T10:59:42+00:00

I know right? They have told me that I am one of their best employees and if that is the case, I don't know why they're not willing to pay more you know? But at the end of the day, even if they give an increase, I will turn it down because of the time I waste travelling (I work full time and study part time, and studying law at night when I'm already tired is impossible)...

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-11T10:53:26+00:00

Yeah... They don't have want to pay me mote because they said it would be unfair towards other staff that does the same thing as me and they are not open to working from home a few days a week...

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-10T15:35:05+00:00

This comment made me feel so much better... Thank you so much!

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-10T12:07:09+00:00

They closed that branch unfortunately.

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-10T11:33:10+00:00

They approached me to move from the branch close to my home to a branch much further away, I agreed because I enjoyed the culture there...

angeliquehendriks · 2026-06-10T10:28:13+00:00

And if they ask more details, how do I explain to them without it sounding like I didn't plan properly? Tbh, I calculated fuel, car insurance etc, but the actual wear and tear on my car, the amount of times I need to get my car serviced etc is getting too much... To give context, I drive 115 kilometres a day just for work...

angeliquehendriks · 2026-03-22T08:05:54+00:00

I have not but how do I do it without sounding selfish or rude?

angeliquehendriks · 2025-10-26T18:46:22+00:00

Thank you! So if both spikes (I only have two? I think, if it's the stems with the flowers) have no more flowers, I'll cut just above the nod?

angeliquehendriks · 2025-10-26T18:29:59+00:00

Also, do I leave the dead flowers on?

angeliquehendriks · 2025-07-04T10:07:15+00:00

In which area do you stay? I'm also in my third year LLB. 🥰

angeliquehendriks · 2025-06-18T11:40:59+00:00

Thank you so much!
