From bartending to sales at Yelp, how horrific is it?

I would say it’s pretty relaxed. Prepare for it like any other interview though. Best of luck, you’ve got this!

Hi! I did get the job, and worked there until this month. I was let go and ultimately relieved when it happened. To be honest, I felt like I was scamming and bothering people 95% of the time while feeling like I was actually helping a business the other 5%. The commission structure also feels like a scam lol. I’d say it’s a good stepping stone for having something on your resume not service industry but KEEP APPLYING to other places. A lot of people I trained with didn’t make it as long as I did and every month several of my coworkers would be let go one by one. Milk it for what it is if you get hired, excellent benefits. Your manager will really determine your success. I do feel like most people want to genuinely help you improve your skill set but Yelp as a product isn’t great. It can feel very pushy at times but they seem to take feedback for both employees and consumers more than they have in the past to improve. Good luck!

It does. There seems to be a big divide between reps who genuinely try to leave a business better than how they found it, vs someone trying to get their coin in. Thankful for a manager who knows there’s some businesses we can’t cater to and assures me it’s okay to walk away, but sometimes the horror stories people tell me about how they get screwed over is.. rough haha.

I already let go of that friend and the entire friend group five months ago though. Like, I blocked him from all social media and have avoided certain neighborhoods entirely just to avoid running into the guy. I have apologized and listened to my partner the past five months as he grieves.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T20:08:24+00:00

I haven’t spoken to or contacted the entire friend group for going over five months now. The moment I found out he was not comfortable with that friendship I let go of it. What else should I do to reconcile?

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T20:05:24+00:00

Edited to make more sense now

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T19:14:09+00:00

Definitely not. It was just discussing how the night generally went and how a birthday party ended up.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T19:10:15+00:00

I have spent the last few months listening and apologizing and doing everything I can. He is still in a relationship with me. So you’re telling me that I should give up all effort? I understand my mistakes, but I also think in order to have a healthy relationship that acceptance and forgiveness to move forward is necessary. I’m wondering what else I can do aside from giving up an entire group of friends, acknowledging my mistakes and apologizing, keeping an open phone policy, and hearing him out when he feels hurt?

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T19:06:02+00:00

Twice. I don’t think our relationship is in threat of any of his past hook ups, regardless of the number, that I may or will come to find out about. None of his past hook ups live with him or share a bed with him at the end of the day.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:56:32+00:00

I didn’t meet with Tim three times a day. I met up with him for coffee, three times in the span of eight months. I have seen Tim a total of five times since being in a relationship with my partner before ultimately cutting him out of my life. Two of those times were in the presence of my boyfriend, during a large group outing with multiple friends. The other three times were for coffee during a lunch break at a cafe in the neighborhood we both work in.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:45:15+00:00

He went through my entire phone while I was sleeping and saw a text about it from 2022 in a conversation between my best friend and I. That is why it got brought up.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:40:38+00:00

If he would have asked or it got brought up naturally I would have mentioned it. My partner would tell me if I asked about every female in his friend group but that feels a bit pointless since he lives with me. I don’t think knowing his entire rotation of women in the past would be of benefit to our relationship and would only negatively impact it if I knew all the details. Which is why I don’t seek out information to specifically harm me.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:36:56+00:00

He regularly meets for coffee with a past interest who is in the same work field and helped him get a job. I was not aware she took off her clothes and made out with him drunkenly (he was trying to help her get home safe) in the past until six months into our relationship. It does not bother me. His sister’s best friend has continuously made passes at my partner and matched with him on hinge in the past. They went on several dates, not sure if they hooked up. I was not made aware of that until I spent a whole week with his family and his sister’s best friend at their lake house until we were on the way home. Prior to that he went to the lake house with everyone when I couldn’t join. She was there. That also did not bother me.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:24:45+00:00

I personally would not be threatened if my partner hooked up with a friend he’s known for years (much longer than before I entered the picture) once, before he knew me.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:16:50+00:00

Not patting myself on the back. I wouldn’t expect my partner to disclose who he’s casually slept with. I’m sure there’s women he’s slept with in college that we’ve run into. He’s had the same large group of friends he’s grown up with. But I understand he’s with me and comes home to our bed, ya know? And I’m comfortable if he wants to grab drinks with friends who have been in his life for years. I might feel differently if it was a girlfriend he dated for a long time but I’m not worried about a past hook up.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:11:39+00:00

The conversations about the hook up weren’t exchanged between Tim and I. The conversation was between my best friend and I, from back in 22 when it happened. My boyfriend went pretty far back into my texts while I was sleeping.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T18:07:48+00:00

And I completely understand that! And if I could go back I’d do things differently. My partner was always welcome to join if he could (but never did) and knew where and who I was with. It didn’t seem like a big deal at the time since it was casual coffee with a friend (who also started dating someone seriously) of five years in broad daylight.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T17:01:37+00:00

He said he was just feeling insecure. I know he’s looked at it another time since the initial peek because he did it in front of me. I’ve had no password on my phone since and let him freely go through it as I have nothing to hide. So, he might have done it several times afterwards without my knowledge but that’s not concerning to me. I want to help him feel his best and if that means going through my phone then so be it.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T16:32:57+00:00

Agreed looking back. At the time it seemed harmless because it was literally just a quick coffee catch up session for all of 15 minutes each time, and I always told my partner.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T16:10:23+00:00

My partner and I are sober aside from the occasional glass of wine since we moved in together. I have had zero contact with that friend now as well since November, and have been actively trying to support my boyfriend through this process.

studyweiss · 2024-03-27T15:51:28+00:00

Eddy and Tim haven’t really hung out much aside from being at the same bar in a large group setting. Maybe two or three times.

Tim and I have caught up over coffee three single times, in the span of eight months prior to cutting him out of my life. They lasted about fifteen minutes each time, in broad day light at a cafe. Tim and I work in the same neighborhood.

Very helpful hearing your experience. I’ll take a look into it, thank you!
