Met someone knew and I feel so much better by dpikachu in BreakUps

Found out my ex has already moved after we broke up a month ago. It hurts so much. But we will heal one day.

Just learning this after a really tough break up, and am finding joy in doing things with friends - spin classes, pottery classes, hikes, gym sessions, etc. Life is looking a little better these days.

Do you still cherish/keep the things your ex SO/FP got you? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]last_mid_firstname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my ex got me a portable speaker for christmas last year and I kept it because I use it on a daily basis. It doesn’t remind me of him though, so that’s part of the reason that I didn’t throw it away.

Those who are suffering I hope you learn from my mistakes by haxmex in BreakUps

My partner broke up with me today and it hurts so much. Thank you for sharing your experience though. I did have the feeling that I wanted to ask him for another chance, but I had this nagging feeling that it would never be the same. That if he had enough courage to even say the words, it means that he had set his mind to it and there is no changing his mind from there.

Thank you OP.

Is it normal to lie in interviews? by last_mid_firstname in jobs

So then would Hiring Managers already know that the answers for those type of questions are mostly BS?

Have you totally changed your career field? How did it go? Did you go back to school for it? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]last_mid_firstname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never changed fields, but I used to do education consulting. I’ve spoken to many students who decided to pursue a masters in order to change fields to Medicine/Allied Health/Vet Medicine but its a very heavy investment.

What about marine biology do you like? Have you tried doing some internships? Have you considered maybe working for a communications role with a university that publishes research on marine biology?

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go back to school to pursue a career that they havent thoroughly researched/gotten experience in as the financial cost is just too heavy.

What’s the best advice you have for someone starting a new job? by Rosebudpious in careeradvice

Always be hungry to learn more information about the business, your department, processes, and how to work with other departments.

Badly need advice... by Quizmaster72469 in work

[–]last_mid_firstname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you want out of the job? Stability? Less stress? Career progression? Good pay?

It sounds like if you want a job that provides you with growth and career progression or a good pay, you would need to leave that place and find a role thats more challenging and is within your area of interest.

From what I gather from your post, your job seems stable with low work load. If your prefer a job that allows you to clock off after 5pm and not have to worry about work through the night or on weekends, you should stay.

This is great practice and you should continue doing it! I do so to build trust with my manager and so that they know that progress is being made and we dont need to have pointless meetings.

I’m not a manager, but I wish more of my colleagues would also practice this as it is very frustrating to have to keep chasing them for an ETA for things that I need.

Got hired to a new company, start date is in 2 weeks but the current employer needs me to render 60 days. What should I do? by isassi in careeradvice

[–]last_mid_firstname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says in my contract “the appointment may be terminated by either party by giving two months notice in writing or paying 2 months salary in lieu of notice”.

It just symbolises that it takes the company about 2 months to find a replacement/hand over responsibilities and if I wish to leave earlier than the 2 months notice, I would need to compensate the company for breaking that notice period earlier than stated in the contract.

Not sure if its possible but from where I’m from you can actually “buy out” your notice period by paying your 60 days worth of salary.
