I have been turned down for a couple of jobs only to find them posted again within 2-3 months.
When you take a new job, you don’t always know how it will work out. You need to learn your tasks, learn the personality and priorities of your bosses, and learn how to get along with people who may be difficult to work with. The job description of the job you apply for probably doesn’t give you any insight into such workplace issues.
I dislike it, but...I do a couple of days from home now. But..that is the way of the world now. We are becoming European workers. 6 months paternity leave. A month off in the summer.
Strange.
LOLOL!!! guess the Great Resignation, wasn’t as GREAT as they were told it’d be...
I worked from home for a year. I then retired. Honestly, if I ever returned to an office type job it would be for one reason and one reason only: Get money. I’d be fine with doing almost nothing, getting laid off or fired and then taking the money from the time I was there and move on to another “job”.
That is how much I learned to disrespect the American corporate world. Interestingly, if I took a job as a “floor worker” at a lows or Home Depot, I’d love helping people. But it doesn’t pay enough and it would be hard on my feet.
Why do you have a ad inside your posted excerpt for the zoom app?
They may have forgotten that roughly the same percentage of employers probably regrets hiring these people as well.
I have an unspoken pact with my employer: You pay me money, I provide value. That is my goal. How I provide value is my business, and I make it my business to provide as much value as I can in a way that maximizes my personal goals of doing the best job I can 100% of the time. If my employer doesn’t like the way I am doing things, they can ask me to change, or let me go.
If I don’t like where I am, or I don’t want do do things the way they ask, I am free to leave.
And that is it.
I love my work as much as anyone can love work, the people I work with respect me and the feeling is mutual. Work is what I make of it, not what someone else forces me to make of it. And I am lucky to be able to work with my mind. But my work ethic wasn’t luck. It was a choice, and a hard one. I worked my tail off to better myself, because growing up, I wasn’t particularly bright. I had to fight hard to achieve, and that meant taking ownership of things and doing jobs right.
People think your employer owes you. They owe you a paycheck for work you perform. I think people who expect pampering, praise, goodies, or anything else are always going to be dissatisfied and unhappy. And for people to whom money is the only goal, it will never, ever be enough for them. Ever. They will always want more. I pity them.
Are you writing about the DNC?
The Clinton Crime Family?
The Biden family?
My plan was to retire in 2022 (hey, that’s now!) but got a new boss who turned out to be an a-hole. So I left in 2019 instead.
My revised plan was to take some much needed quality time and then seek some sort of part time gig.
And then the coof happened.
Not having any interest in putting up with the anti-social distancing and the face diapers, I totally embraced the retiree lifestyle. At this point I don’t think that there is much that could induce me to return to the grind.
LOL. Well, money is a great motivator, the desire for it is one of the main motive forces in an economy. But if it is the only driving force, divorced from the need to find constructive purpose in work and provide value to society, it is more like getting a welfare check.
My opinion, of course.
Great post..
Find a trade whatever it is and go into business yourself. Working for these punitive big woke leftist corporations is no place to spend 25 or 30 years of your life.
Don’t walk, run away from that.
Life isn’t Youth Soccer, jackwagons.
Thank you. I think for me, I feel that work is what you make of it.
Our production co. is up to down, rightwing and conservative. Been doing this for years. We screen EVERYONE, and with subtle questioning w/o tipping your hand, know which ones to hire. We’ve never advertised open positions, we just know which ones were fired for being conservatives etc. and simply add.
and even during the china virus beginnings circa 2020, we tell everyone to come in person, if you are local. F zoom.
Who you work for..your boss makes a difference. A tough boss who expects your best is fine..if he is a good leader and cares about you as a human being..someone whom you can respect and who respects hard-working employees.
I had a great boss. He moved to another organization about 2 yrs before i retired..almost a year into my retirement I got a text that said are you interested in coming out of retirement.? when i called him he told me he was amazed i called..thought he’d get a text that said..no way!
I told him ..YOU’RE the only one I would call back.
I work with him part time and having fun.
