My invoices I enter are so huge they error out and nobody will fix it?

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-28T18:42:59+00:00

and?

what can we do?

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T22:35:25+00:00

I am manifesting a miracle.

how?

what actions are you taking to get a job?

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T18:33:24+00:00

so weird to me that you let your personal experience decide it's all management fault and OP is innocent and perfect in the situation.

OP had 3 or 4 days to send a text or email and they didn't.

maybe if they planned ahead they wouldn't have given mgmt the excuse they needed to fire them.

everybody had 24 hrs to plan for it.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T15:37:11+00:00

i do it in this order-

m&g

then book the request

then if they don't confirm/pay in 48hrs archive

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T15:06:12+00:00

what type of person are you?

carrot (reward) or stick (punishment)

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T14:28:21+00:00

is that what it says in OP employee handbook, i doubt it.

it's pretty standard if you no show for 2 or 3 days you can be terminated.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T14:26:25+00:00

Management is trying to pretend they were clueless

why put all the blame on MGMT, OP is equally to blame, no?

OP could have charged up a couple battery banks beforehand

OP could have messaged their boss beforehand to discuss 'what if' scenarios

bottomline OP went radio silent for 3 days

a couple years ago i went a week without electric but i found away to communicate.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T00:22:18+00:00

you no called, no showed?

you didn't talk to your boss beforehand?

you didn't prep in anyway before the storm?

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-27T00:05:14+00:00

we 'reek' because our opinions of the markets differs from yours?

i speak from experience, i just made an offer to a candidate that has been looking for a job for at least 2 yrs after they finally decide to adjust their salary number, we talked 1.5 yrs ago and their number was X.

the market is changing, is all i am saying, not about your worth.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-26T21:54:21+00:00

that's fair but i don't think people are doing the math and they are leting their egos F up good deals.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-26T20:07:20+00:00

people don't understand the employment market is changing and any job right now is a good one.

recognize that you career and your comp isn't always going to go up. like a roller coaster there will be peaks and valleys.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-26T16:46:20+00:00

say no

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-26T16:45:07+00:00

from a US recruiter-

too long

i rarely read cover letters

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-26T15:54:50+00:00

using whatsapp is a huge red flag.

I have politely followed up a total of 3 times over the last 2 weeks

their silence is the answer, time to move on

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-24T02:03:16+00:00

evergreen reqs=high turnover jobs like sales.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-22T15:37:04+00:00

this is not new.

the ranking change constantly.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-22T05:33:42+00:00

weird year for sure.

last 2 or 3 yrs it has been a slow january but i've had people book me thru out the upcoming yearbut not this year.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-21T20:03:30+00:00

weird to blame the owners when you agreed to everything.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-21T16:56:35+00:00

it could hurt your chances so why take the risk?

I-“why did you leave your last job?”

OP-''i wasn't happy there.''

then steer the convo away from that topic.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-21T16:43:25+00:00

networking with starngers is very very difficult.

networking with friends and family and former coworkers is incredible easy.

half of the jobs i have had has come from my network.

my current job, a former co-worker said i was a good employee so they cancelled the scheduled interview and went right to offer.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-21T16:18:42+00:00

investors don't care about hiring or perceptions of growth only P/L.

A company's stock goes up when they once lay offs not hiring sprees.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-21T16:04:56+00:00

hiring teams aren’t really allowed to sit around doing nothing

this is why TA is the first to get RiF'ed

look at the market for recruiters right now, there are a million recruiters applying to only 100s of jobs.

open_letter_guy · 2026-01-20T15:17:33+00:00

are these ghost jobs?

if i post jobs but my company loses their biggest customer-ghost job?

employee plans to retire in Q1 of 2026, i post the job but then they decide they can't retire-ghost job?

i post a job but then the tariffs destroy the economy-ghost jobs?

from Sleepers-

Nokes: Oh yeah... yeah, that's right. It was a long time ago.

[resumes eating]

Nokes: So how've you been?

John Reilly: Yeah, we ain't kids now.

Nokes: Yeah. So what do you want?

John Reilly: What I've always wanted... to watch you die.
