What should I do about my job situation?
When I first started my current job, they gave me a position on the management team for this retail company. I excelled really well and my boss was always telling me if I wanted further opportunities and complimented me a lot. For months I was working full time hours with no benefits. Finally they gave me benefits. Then the holidays came and we had a conversation about me becoming an assistant manager with the company and he told me to email the district manager about my interest. I did and the DM was surprised? Let time pass and I confronted my boss again and said the DM never replied to when I wanted to meet. He then said I could email her again but not yet? He said he would talk more about the position more with me first. He said we are going to hire the best candidate we see fit. Suddenly one day, he hired someone as an assistant manager and I never got a chance to even interview. For some reason too, the DM does not like me. She visited our store one day and I was nice and everything and she said I lacked energy for the store but I was just nervous that day. Since then, any email I send out is ignored by her like a good sale I've done. She only replies to everyone else. What should I do about this? Even the new assistant asked me why they didn't pick me?
What would you do in my situation?
After working for a small company for a year, I was fired BECAUSE THE HIRING MANAGER FOUND OUT THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB. I found out that THE HIRING MANAGER IS FALSELY ACCUSING ME OF ARGUING WITH HIM (I HAVE WITNESSES) during the reference check (stuff about my performance beyond dates, salary, title, and reason for departure). I’m in the process of sending a cease and desist letter for supplying false information. I DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE HEADACHE OF A LAWSUIT. I ALREADY SENT A CEASE AND DESIST LETTER. SORRY FOR POSTING ANONYMOUS. I POST ALL OF MY QUESTIONS ANONYMOUSLY. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF POSTING ANONYMOUSLY OFFENDS YOU. INAPPROPRIATE ANSWERS WILL BE REPORTED.
HELP! What would u do in this situation?
That is creepy. Can you imagine how much life she needs to get being who she is lol she is a sociopath for sure. I'm wondering WHY your boss seems to be detached about that person? If I was you, I would collect her stalking and protective order past info fro sure just in case. At work, I would ignore her completely although people who act that way WANT attention because they can't get it anywhere else so they do crap to get attention and perhaps don't even know they have major issues. Keep your eyes open, don't mind her even if she talks behind you, keep record of everything by taking pics/video not just writing, only talk to the boss about any of that, dont share with coworkers, stay away from her no matter how much she tries to get reaction, dont give it to her know that thats what she wants and try to concentrate on your work and getting things done & dont be confrontational with her even if u need to work with her directly keep it professional as to not give her evidence that u are beign aggressive to her just go in do your work as best as you can and pretend she is not there...the more u stress the worst trust me, know u are going there to get paid not make friends to talk to anyone just smile if needed & thats it but only go to the boss for something major not over slight eye roll from her if u know what u mean. mayeb boss knows what cookie she is & doesnt want issue for his own business from that psycho so he keeps things on low key i doubt that your boss is clueless & that u are the only one who has complained thats why he doesnt say anythign to u.
Should I do MS or not with my current situation?
Considering that even completing my BE seems like a huge task to me, I haven’t personally faced your dilemma but I could give you the example of my sister :She was doing some “blah blah technical terms blah blah hardware analysis” at a very reputed company in Bangalore. The pay was good, the office environment was awesome, and she looked to be settled in her job. However, two years after working at the same desk in a tiny cubicle she realised one thing; ten-fifteen years down the line, she did not wish to see herself continue doing the same stuff. So she went ahead, prepared for CAT and is now doing MBA in a premium management college in India. She now has to face insane study hours, the feeling of being dependent for money, and has to get back into the student mould. It’s true a higher degree will give you the chance to reshape your future, but be prepared to put in the extra effort.These are the few questions, I believe, you should ask yourself before deciding whether you should go for MS or notAre you happy working with your current company?Are you satisfied with your current pay?Can you see yourself 10 years down the line, working in this “Good Dev role”?What will your new job profile after doing the MS programme?What pay can you expect after doing MS from these particular universities?Is this increase in pay significant enough to invest immense time and money to do an MS?The most important of all: do you really wish to study more or is it just a means to escape from your current scenario?I hope these help you out in deciding. Best of luck for your future(especially if you are going for the MS ;p)
How can you see the bright side in bad situations?
Like say for instance if you got fired for some nonsense that involved someone other than yourself but only you get fired and the people there and union instead of defending you just go around gossiping your business to everyone where even the families know what happened? How do you see the bright side if you weren't able to get a job since then which has been over a year? How can you stay positive about things?
I want to quit my new job. I am not happy at all. But it's been only 2 weeks. What should I do?
I was in this situation a few months ago, so I feel qualified to answer.First of all, understand that 2 weeks isn't a very long time. You're obviously out of your comfort zone and this situation is entirely different to you. You may be nervous. This is completely normal. Consider giving it a little more time to see if your attitude changes.The second thing you must ask yourself before you quit your job is: Do I have an urgent need for a paycheck? Lets face it, 99.99999% work to earn money to support their lifestyle. Food, bills, mortgage, car, ect. ect. If humans didn't have to worry about these things, then no one would be working. If you have bills to pay and mouths to feed, think long and hard about leaving that job. I had the luxury of living at home with my parents so I had a little more freedom to leave my job because I had security at home.Which brings me to my next point: What is your next step? Do you have a backup source of income ready to go? Do you have another job offer? Planning is crucial in your situation. Make no mistake about it, if you leave this company after two weeks you WILL NOT be hired back. No matter how valuable you may be.To answer your question directly, remember that it is YOUR career. Only you know what is best for you. The company would fire you in a heartbeat if it mean that it would benefit them. They may not be happy with you, but this is your career and you have to do what is best for you. When you resign, I suggest being as polite as possible, give them as much notice as possible, and just be honest. I can guarantee you aren’t the first person to leave after a short period of time and you certainly won't be the last. Just think long and hard before yo do.
I hate my job and my life. What should I do?
Ask yourself why. What about your job and life do you not like? Then, find ways to overcome them. That may mean finding a new job that is more rewarding or has a better atmosphere. Sometimes it could also mean changing the way we look at our own situation - viewing it from another perspective. What do others like about their job at the same company and why?As far as life goes…life always has its ups and downs and all arounds. You’ll go through slumps and highs and lows. Find something in life that makes you happy. Get involved. If you’re Christian, go to church and get involved there. If not, find something in the community that you can do that helps give more meaning to your life and that you find rewarding. Many people like to use their talents and skills and find ways to ‘give back’ to their community in some way. Find activities that you enjoy. If you still struggle, don’t be afraid to seek professional counsel. There are many wonderful, professionally trained people that can help you work through challenges. So, never give up.There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes we must pass through (and overcome) the ‘darkness’(lows/challenges in life) to get to it. You can do it. Wishing you all the best.
