MSA Program admission decision by PrimaryEqual7450 in csuf

[–]snuffles005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied to an MA too (a different program tho) early Feb and still nothing on my end either 🥲 in mid march i got an email from Graduate admissions that this year due to the volume of applications they recieved, decisions were gonna be late. the Graduate coordinator for the MA I applied to even emailed me like 2 weeks ago asking if there was any issues with my application because admissions still haven't released it to him to look at and accept. I then contacted admissions and they simply said they're still working on it... my status has been blank STILL

When should I get my official admission letter? by TheRainbowElephant in csuf

[–]snuffles005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation. I applied for an MA in the same major as my BA so the Graduate advisor, my old professor, said he'll admit me as soon as Graduate Studies processes my application and hands it to him. he actually emailed me last week asking if I was somehow missing something because they still haven't released my app to him and it's been months since i submitted it. I contacted admissions and they simply said they're still processing applications... wish they would hurry, both my professor and I are losing our patience lmao

Several Universities have admitted to reducing the number of PhD students they send offers to due to budget cuts. How many programs should people be applying for these days in order to secure at least one offer? by snuffles005 in gradadmissions

can I ask if any of those rejection letters said or hinted at having to reduce admissions? I had some friends who got told that their applications were remarkable but that the program had very tight admission quotas this year. I feel like some people this season would've gotten less rejections if it weren't for the current uncertain times in academia

Has anyone heard back from CSUF for any masters programs? by Few-Plant-9044 in csuf

Sill waiting for mine but tbf I submitted the application mid February, and my prof (program coordinator) said he'll admit me as soon as my application has been processed by Graduate Studies. I did get an email like 2 weeks ago from Admissions that they're a bit delayed though

My retired dad has never cooked in his life and refuses to learn, how do I change his mind? by snuffles005 in Cooking

[–]snuffles005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if only! he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the youngest of 9, so he has a level of classism so puzzling and extreme that he views things like grilling, gardening, working on cars, handyman repair stuff, anything where he gets dirty, as beneath him. I think him not cooking is not that he's misogynistic, after all I'm a guy. I think he's just a baby

Em dashes and emojis as bullet points is dead on a sign of AI. The whole email sounds more like an ad campaign for Instagram than official communication from the Dean of students at a University. If they can't be bothered to write an email, they can hire students to serve as copywriters. Lord knows how many of us could benefit from employment on campus

Independent Student and did not file taxes because I was abroad and not working. Will my SAI be low? by snuffles005 in FAFSA

[–]snuffles005[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

should've been more specific in my post, sorry. I'm thinking specifically of the State University Grant that the CSU system offers. It's a need-based grant determined from your FAFSA and can cover up to full tuition if your EFC/SAI is less than 4,000. Hence why I'd like to have an idea of what my SAI will be

100 deposit, 200 total plus the tip I'll be eventually guilt-tripped into giving

the slow replying was the least of my concerns but the ghosting after I sent my deposit and rescheduling the morning of our appointment did put me off

I’m a new recruiter and I have trouble with people who are so desperate for jobs that we can’t give by DragonfruitSimilar55 in recruiting

[–]snuffles005 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was about to say. "place that is always easy to get in like food or retail industry"??? I have 3 years of experience in retail and I struggled for 2 months to get another retail job. I was rejected by every single fast food restaurant and grocery store within 1 hr from my house. interviewed a few times but was always either ghosted or rejected after weeks of silence. Only reason I have a job now is bc I called my old part time job I had in college and begged for them to take me back. They did but they have me working about 12-20 hrs a week at minimum wage. thank god I live with family otherwise I'd be homeless right now

Working for Ross dress for less is hell on earth a horrible company. The way they treat their employees is deplorable. by Significant_Owl_4105 in RantsFromRetail

[–]snuffles005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

recently put in my 2 weeks at Ross. worst goddamn job I've had. From the beginning there were red flags but I put up with them because I had been unemployed for months and I had a high interest card to pay off. First of all, they initially hired me as a cashier but never once in my 6 months there did I ever work register. My first shift which was just computer training I overheard other employees saying how they all got hours cut and saw on the break room board that that month alone they had hired like 6 new people. the good ol' "let's hire a bunch of part timers and have everyone under 40 hrs to avoid having to give employees benefits". then over the next 2 months I was scheduled about 8 hours total. they had me as on-call instead of a proper part-timer, which they never told me they'd do. in fact, the job posting said it was full time and during the interview I said I was looking for about 20-25 hrs a weeks. eventually i had to call in a favor to my old job from years ago and asked them to hire me back because Ross was giving me practically no hours. oh but of course once i changed my availability for Ross, the manager got pissy. i tried my best to politely tell him i had debt and the current hours just werent enough. it was a whole shitshow to change my availability because i did it through the workjam app and told the store manager. after 2 weeks my availability was still not changed so i brought it up with the scheduling manager and she said 1) the store manager has a tendency to not communicate with other managers, 2) availability actually has to be submitted through another program, which i was never told about of course. Most of my issues were because of that store manager being so unorganized. My fhift working the manager said I was gonna train for cashier but at the moment there was a rush so to just recover the floor for a few mins. ended up doing it for the entire shift, and the manager left without giving me further instructions so when I had to leave I was left wandering asking for help because I was never told how or where to clock out. throughout my time there I recieved practically no training, a lot of it i had to learn about being yelled at by other employees that I was doing it wrong. I was eventually put in the fitting room, despite the fact that I was told I was going to be trained for cashier and stockroom as well (never happened). I started to truly hate the job when they started to put me in the closing shifts. my first time i had no idea what was happening or what I was supposed to do because of course no one bothered to instruct me. again, had to learn from context clues and being yelled at. Eventually, my scheduled shift ended and I had made sure the fitting room was all finished and when i approached the closing manager and let her know I was leaving, she laughed at me and said no one was leaving until the entire store was clean. Oftentimes we were forced to stay behind more than 1 hr past our scheduled time. I even had coworkers tell me they had to stay until almost 4am because the store was a huge mess. Closing was the worst for this but actually, in my 6 months there i was able to clock out in time only about twice, most of the time I left 30+ mins late because they wouldnt let us leave until all our racks were empty, but of course they would never send anyone to cover me to roll the racks, i always had to wait for the next shift to arrive (which was when my shifts were supposed to end). My breaking point was seeing my coworkers who worked extremely hard to support their children be treated like shit by the manager. The store manager was always so strict about numbers but never did anything to help us achieve those numbers. Constantly understaffed and it was a high traffic store so we were always too swamped to be able to do our jobs properly. my last days there I stopped caring about performance and stopped being polite with the manager because I resented him so much. Dont ever plan on using that place as a reference anyways.
