Congrats minus-t!
sj, your owner stylist is taking limited appts just to retain people like you. So, no guilt there.
Gud, sorry it's stressy at work but on the plus side...they need you. That's the best circumstance to be job-hunting from. Still employed.
Congrats, -t!
Scrappy, I don't know that age is going to be a problem, but if you're within an hour or so of Detroit, you could be competing with teachers who've been laid off from the Detroit schools over the past 5+ years. Nothing wrong with working in a grocery store. Someone I did voter registration work with left the corporate world and ended up working in our cool, local coop. She said the reduction in stress was wonderful.
Congrats, -t!
Calli is wise, Scrappy.
Thanks, y'all! It's an 11% raise, which is the biggest I've ever gotten anywhere, I'm pretty sure, so, yeah, pretty dang good.
Congrats -t
Fingers crossed for Scrappy and Gud.
Operation sell the car has started. I steam cleaned half the back seat and 2 of the floor mats. Vacuumed out 3/4 of it, and set off an odor elimination spray in it. Will let it sit over night and the hopefully get the rest of the interior cleaned out on tomorrow's lunch hour. Then a washing, gathering all the documents, take pictures and put up a listing.
Maybe I can gather documents tonight.
Scrappy, all for a union job! I was a cashier for a summer, I've had worse jobs—at least that one was easy to leave at home!
And Yay -t!!
Gud, if you have the stomach for it, job hunting is a good plan, just to see...I hate it and don't do it nearly as often as I should.
congrats, -t!
Scrappy, I worked at Whole Foods several times and would definitely go back if I needed to. I really enjoyed the customer service aspect of it: talking to different people every day and helping them meet a need. Not to say every interaction was gloriously fulfilling, but seriously, it can be a good job, plus it's nice to be able to leave it all behind at the end of your shift!
Gud, job-hunting when you don't actually need a new job is an interesting exercise in seeing what else is out there, which can help you figure out what you want from your current job if you decide to stay a while longer. (Says the woman who is currently house-hunting with no intention to buy yet -- it's just nice to know what your options are and to think about what your future might hold.)
Yeah, union and benefits sound like real positives.
Job-ma to them that needs it and congrats to them that gots it.
Gud, sorry it's stressy at work but on the plus side...they need you. That's the best circumstance to be job-hunting from. Still employed.
Yeah. It's not a bad situation to be in.
