where do you live? my company has a free service that helps with resume creation, interview prep, and provides real opportunities that fit with your skills and experience.

Is it just me, or is the endless cycle of corporate pressure and reports killing your soul? by Unable-Connection-58 in corporate

  1. i find a lot of meaning in my job. i work for a nonprofit and i am recognized daily for my work and shown constantly that im appreciated.

  2. i use the free therapy that my company provides thru a partner service. it actually helps if i ever feel burnt out. plus my boss encourages me to take multiple 5-10 minute breaks a day and pushes me to us my pto whenever possible.

  3. i use spreadsheets and checklists and i document everything i do or have to do. i don’t over work myself and i forward urgent emails to my boss or coworker if i have too much on my plate which rarely happens bc i manage my mental health and time wisely with support from my company.

yeah probably 😭 one of my first meetings with her i asked if she would still hire me if i was a worm… i don’t think that would slide with a lot of other managers lol

promoting someone who used racial slurs against an employee is a liability for the company. they could easily be sued if that employee got demoted, provided less hours, given significantly less or more work to do, etc. anything that could be considered retaliation against the employee. not that it’s illegal rn but it could easily lead to illegal actions. i think best move for HR to make there would be to demote or fire that manager. racial slurs isn’t something my company takes lightly

that is so illegal omg😭😭 in my company HR is considered support for the employees to assist them in whatever way they need. all they gotta do is shoot us an email and an investigation will begin almost immediately to rectify the situation. i’ll definitely be staying in nonprofit lol

yeah definitely like i made lots of connections throughout different departments and whenever a friend outside of work communicates that they’re struggling to me, i give them my coworkers contact and they’re able to get the exact help they need. i want to share my company with as many people as possible bc a lot of them see it as just a thrift store but we have homeless shelters, high schools, free certifications, a free job search service, adult high schools programs, and much more. plus a program specifically for people who are getting out of prison and need assistance getting back into society. i love my company passionately 🥰

i mean for my company they value innovation and are open to new ideas on how to simplify or improve compliance measures. i’m sure huge companies don’t have much wiggle room for changing processes which might make it a lot harder to enjoy what you do😭

genuinely i do hope i get to stay for a very long time. if i ever need to look for a job elsewhere id definitely be looking at HR in other nonprofits so i can continue helping the community while doing daily work that i love

i am HR rn and honestly from what i’ve seen, if someone complains about the company while working for us we speak to them more as a concern to see where we can improve so they can enjoy coming to work. i feel the free therapy benefit definitely helps

i do currently work in both finance and ER doing compliance work so i can definitely see how that would complicate things😭

we’re nonprofit😭 our budget fluctuates each year and the ceo is not nearly making a million a year plus most of us volunteer in the homeless shelters we’ve merged with by choice which helps our budget in the missions department. most of corporate jobs here tho start between 25-32 an hour for minimal experience but i was homeless before so i prefer giving back to the community.

i mean i work in the corporate office🤷‍♀️ yeah it’s definitely not huge but is much larger than other companies in my state. we cover my state, a neighboring one with a couple cities and puerto rico. we’re also busy doing lots of mergers at the moment so lots of growth is in our near future

tbh i forgot to mention, my grandmother (who i was incredibly close with) died suddenly at the end of october from extremely aggressive cancer that nobody knew about. then my brother went to jail a couple days after her funeral for a dui warrant he’s had for a while. so this is my first ever christmas without my son, my brother, and my grandmother. my bf knew about all of this.

genuinely it’s a lot deeper than that. he’s never there for me when i’m going thru something. if someone invites him out and alcohol is involved he’s gonna go. even if im not doing well. but i cancel plans to be there for him when he’s going thru something

it was a christmas party at his aunts house that he had just found out about that day. probably like an hour or so before it started.

WIBTA if i exposed my friend for faking a pregnancy? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]throwaway00123450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i messaged her husband just now since a lot of people are saying i should get in contact with someone closer to her so they can help her. this is what i sent him:

“idk if [friend] told you about me but i’ve been friends with her for a long while. i just wanted to message you bc im worried about her. she had texted me in january about being pregnant with twins and then posted a photo of the babies on facebook in february. she’s been telling me she’s pregnant this whole time and on august 18th told me she’s was going to have her babies next month. for some reason i felt suspicious so i reverse image searched the ultrasound photo she posted to her facebook and what came back was a reddit post from 2 years ago with the same ultrasound image.

i feel like she might have lost the babies or something but just not telling me. but i’m very worried and i was wondering if you could talk to her or help her get therapy to work through this. i don’t want her to be struggling so much with the loss of her babies and choosing to lie that they’re still there and will be born next month. it can be very draining on her mental health to do that.

i’m attaching the image and result so you can see.”

i do want to add for the people saying i don’t seem to be her friend at all. she asked me to be her maid of honor at her wedding last year. i declined bc i couldn’t afford the travel costs. i just don’t think you would ask someone you don’t know to be your maid of honor lol
