job rant

[Shotgun Jesus]

Fuck, excalibur. 82 hours? Just kill yourself and leave a note: "should have gone to Texas"

Believe it or not, I work min. 70/week. It's nutty, and fucked up at the same time.. There's people without jobs, those of us with jobs work our ass off past regular time, and only jobs being offered are "contract" (a.k.a. I'll get rid of you without a severance package whenever I want to) with no benefits. Shit is just as fucked here.

I don't have benefits, but I do make good coin.

Working 40 right now, then another 20 with my friend's step-dad's landscaping. A week.

Texas.

Ass Clown Since you're getting interviews, what exactly are they saying to you, are you gunning for an entry-management position or something basic? Strange you had some, perhaps they're simply finding other people, or people that they can rip off by paying minimum.

I'll assume your 'resume' is updated and you 'cheated' the questions?

 

[Ass Clown]

Well, if you mean what they tell me when they've gone with a different applicant - It's typically just an automated email stating they're lucky to have a large number of qualified applicants and have chosen to go with someone else.
As far as what i'm gunning for....just about anything at this point. Just wanting to relocate to Austin. I've put in for basic Teller / Customer Service Rep positions, Call Center Rep positions, Lead positions. All the way up and down the ladder.
That's the tough part of applying in Austin - It's a real battle. A ton of people up there have an exceptional amount of work experience and/or a degree of some fashion(which I do not have the latter).

Resume is current, yes. To this point, I haven't had to cheat any questions.

 

[Olst]

Where is "here"? O.o

In the north! Literally.

 

[Ass Clown]

So...nowhere near me. That helps! haha =D

 

[iCe]

Honestly try a recruiter or head hunter they will at least help with your résumé

So you bust your ass for someone else and don't even reap benefits? Why not just quit and become your own boss?

look for a chill (don't require body armour) security guard job, i used to play psp entire shifts, sleep in the party room at condos, work out in the gym, whatever man, security is the shit and they have high turn over so getting a job is easy.

I would love to, of course. But my boss' company has the clientele along with constant work. I network like crazy at my job, met a fuckload of great people. It's only a matter of time before I move on. For now, I'm just grateful for the opportunity. In the meantime, I've already turned a few jobs down because I know a really good one will come, and that will be my time to leave.

Haha yeah been working like that since late Oct early November. Sundays are my only day of "rest". The pay checks are nice but if i continue at this pace like they are saying we will i'll be bumped into a higher tax bracket again .


Nothing like busting your balls to make some schmo sitting on their ass rich.

Thats what i would love to do but the pay decrease in Amish country pa would be incredible. But I would also want to be armed :-)

do a trade, easiest descent paying career in the world, then go back to school once you save , try what you really want to do in life untill you run out of money or actually succeed.

 

[Glocky]

I worked overtime today! Oh wait, Brades is gonna pounce now. haha
I did do a lot of work, but truth be told, I probably wouldn't have needed to do the overtime if other downstream people had down their stuff on time.
Meh. Taken it in leave.
