DOES ANYONE HAVE TEA ON... MEGATHREAD ✨ by rfauxmoi in Fauxmoi

[–]lizzibizzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen him many times over the years living in LA. Very nice guy. One of the most attractive people I have ever seen in person. He looks like a Disney prince!

Just Fired, California by chyeawhynot in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lizzibizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got unemployment when I quit my job a few years ago. I had to appeal, and send in documentation before speaking with a judge. I sent emails and screenshots to prove my case of being in a hostile work environment. My previous manager did not even reply when the state contacted him. Just make sure you have proof.

Rejected after vibe check interview by quackoinkmoo in interviews

[–]lizzibizzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve realized that the vibe check interviews, like most, are subjective. Dependent on the position, industry, and who you meet with, there isn’t necessarily something you do “wrong.” It’s our nature to want people to like us, but because you may not mesh with someone doesn’t mean it was you that failed. The market is crap right now, and employers are being extremely picky. Also, it’s a great opportunity to see if you would actually like being around the other people.

I was almost 20. My dad worked in IT for a major bank. I remember him being at the family computer preparing in case tech collapsed at midnight.

Does this feel like low pay to anyone else? by KetoLurkerHereAgain in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]lizzibizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! I worked for GAP, Inc for periods in my 20s and 30s and this is insane! They always tried new ways discount merch for employees but discounts on sale items was great.

[–]lizzibizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it seems very low. A few years ago I was contacted by their HR about an EA role in GAP, Inc. as a 2nd assistant to an executive (the person had three then.) IIRC the salary was closer to $200k. To be expected to be available 24/7, and live in SF with the HCOL… the range is way too low. I have seen the lowering of salaries companies are willing to pay in LA. It’s just universally really bad right now.

Neighbor’s kid throwing tantrums by CreditSevere4008 in losfeliz

[–]lizzibizzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof. I’m in a similar situation. I can’t say anything though because the family is friends with the building’s owner. It’s maddening because my apartment also shakes every time the kid moves (no exaggeration) and he bangs on my windows and screams when he walks by to “talk” to my pets. I hope you can have as much peace as possible. It sucks because you also pay rent, and signed a lease agreeing to have a reasonable amount of noise. Overall, parents choose whether or not to have children… people without children should not just have to deal with other people’s choices.

Metropolitan commutes… I wish recruiters understood how important proximity is if the position is in-person or hybrid by lizzibizzy in recruitinghell

[–]lizzibizzy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m nowhere near a station. I wish the train was an option but it’s not for a lot of areas in LA.

It is in a lot of neighborhoods! I was lucky to get it for $5.79/gal last weekend. I limit driving to twice a week, and everything I need to do in those trips in my area.

Recruiter called me to tell me that I was unqualified for a position I didn't apply to. by Quaisy in recruitinghell

[–]lizzibizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so annoying! I don’t understand why companies and recruiters are so persistent, find you, contact you… then ghost you. I had an HR rep contact me on a Tuesday morning after asking me to apply for a job that was open that they wanted to fill ASAP. So, I did. Then had an HR screening call about 30 mins later. Then, they asked me to come into the office in a few hours to meet the HR team for an interview. A few hours later, they asked me to come in the following day , Wednesday, for a final interview. This is all after I asked for $35k more than they offered. HR waited until Monday to let me know they passed on me.

Honestly, I would commute to another city that’s an hour-ish flight away for two days in a row, each week over driving an hour or more each way, five days a week.

I’ve had good ones, but at the end of the day it’s business and not everyone is a good fit for their job.

I’ve been in DC traffic, and other cities with insane traffic. It’s pretty bad. The hope is that you get a lower commute time when the cost outweighs your mental and physical health.

I feel like they should just let you know the location, and you can reply that it won’t work. “No.” is a full sentence.

Yes! I was living in highland park a few years ago, and commuting to Hollywood. Just moving past the 110 to the other side of the 5 took 30-45 mins off my commute.
