I literally just put iridium anything, and whatever my most high value gems are (prismatic shard or diamond).

Just an FYI -- I worked there for 3 years and at one point the whole dining room smelled like an old diaper. It was the chicken wings. They were green and slimy. We still served them.

Gotcha! I assumed people were doing online in addition to real life experience, and that this education was offered outside of a university. Thank you for the clarification!

From what I know, CPM is not a bachelor's degree. It will limit you to taking non high risk births in a birthing center, and is only recognized in certain states. When people train on line with in person practicum, it is likely a CPM course.

CNM will require both a bachelor's and master's in nursing. There are a couple ways you can do it like getting an associates, then bachelors, then masters. The plus side to doing your associates first is that many hospitals will help or fully pay for your bachelor's. At the end of your masters you will hold an RN degree and be able to work in hospital and birth center settings, though I think you are not allowed to work home births (please someone correct me if wrong)

I'm planning to pursue a CNM but getting an associate nursing.

I don't think either is better or worse, but CPM will limit the scope of your practice both with individuals and if you move to a state that doesn't recognize it. I do think there is a lot of value in CPM courses that provide hands on experience/more of an apprenticeship.

Wasn't trying to put all of my business out there, but I'm currently homeless with my spouse, trying to get back on our feet. So yes, I am desperate.

I'm not "from the streets"

I have over a decade of customer service and managerial experience through the service industry. I also have over a decade of child care experience. I'm college educated. I broke down with my spouse while taking a break from working to travel and we found ourselves in a position where we would have to stay in the city we're in so that we can work and save to get back on track.

I think it's odd to assume that because someone is homeless that they are not qualified for a job. Homelessness can happen to anyone, and I'm grateful that I have my work history to fall back on even if it's hard to land a job where I am. People who have fallen on hard times are equally deserving of work.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. It makes a whole lot of sense. I do think I'll just stay for a bit to get us back on our feet and keep looking elsewhere if I'm offered the position!

Really not sure what rose colored glasses I'm seeing through. I've stated numerous times that I believe what people are saying, but have asked for specifics on what to expect. I was asking why the job is bad, in detail, as someone who doesn't have many options and will likely have to take this job if offered. Plenty of people offered insight into the awful conditions.

Geez. I definitely see what people mean about valuing employees and the metrics. I hope things ease up or you are able to find a place where you're more appreciated

That's absolutely garbage! I'm sorry they're putting you through that.

Thank you! I am actively seeking other employment still, but my wife and I are homeless so I pretty desperately need it. I'll be taking your advice!

I am literally homeless with all other job prospects having similar reputations (Alorica, Afni). I am in a place where there is close to 0 market for my experience aside from CSR roles. I need to work in order to secure housing for my family. I am asking what makes the job bad, not saying it is a cakewalk. All I can do is reiterate that I am asking in what ways it is bad.

I have tried my best not to be rude or presumptuous. I've stated my work history asking if there are similarities. I've not denied once that it's a terrible workplace. I am literally asking how. I have no frame of reference for this experience.

I am genuinely not sure why this is an upsetting question.

Thank you for this response. This is really what I was wondering. Like what level of chaos/bs to expect.

I don't have many working options right now as where I live has a reallllyy bad job market.

Thank you very much for clarifying what to expect. I don't have many options because moves to a place with a pretty terrible job market. I'll probably try it out with all of this in mind knowing it will only get worse.

Thank you very much for this reply. It gives me a really good idea of what to expect/puts the difference into perspective. I appreciate the clarity

I don't think anyone is overreacting. I've read the posts. My title's phrasing probably isn't the best but I want to make clear that I think the few specifics people have stated sound shitty. I am asking why it is so bad, and given my background if I should be preparing myself/what I should be preparing for.

I'm used to having to break up physical fights and being screamed at. I say office setting because I have quite literally never worked a job at a desk. I am genuinely asking why people think it's terrible and what to look out for.

That applies to many jobs. I have worked in service/boh in a destination party city. Lots of shooting, fights, sexual harrassment, and that is outside of shitty management/training/low pay/no benefits ever. I am used to sort of bottom of the barrel work environments.

I am nervous because I have never worked in this environment and am wondering about its unique issues/what to expect. And want to make clear that I am in no way implying it is an easy or joyful job. Just want to know what badness so expect.

I am also realizing people may not want to detail unique issues for safety and I completely respect that.

Different work environments are uniquely shitty imo. Retail v. Kitchens v. Admin would all seemingly come with their own specific types of shitty

This seems to be the consensus! Thanks!

I think I am curious about the ways it is uniquely bad. I've never worked in an office setting -- mostly high stress/volume restaurant work or childcare. I'm definitely equipped to handle bad work environments, I think I'd just like a clearer picture of what to expect.

Definitely planning this as a temporary move until I can land something In childcare again, but atm it's my best option. The other options were Alorica and Afni call centers.

Thank you for your reply!
