I feel I was lucky in my career. The only real job interview I went through was the first. From then on, roughly every 3-6 years I'd see something more exciting and internally interview for those jobs on company time. So I was able to have a career of ~5 different engineering jobs over a 25 year career at one place.

Good Luck today!

Best of luck on getting fired so you can dedicate time to finding a better job!

Job hunting blows. Praying for you my dude.

All these fucking employers want a phone interview, followed by a zoom meeting, followed by a final physical interview. That means I would have to take off at least two days of work for this bullshit. I've never really had to job hunt for a 9-5 before while fully employed at a 9-5. It's really fucking hard.

[–] [deleted] • 6 pts

Yeah man, it's ridiculous. Depending on the field you're going into, they want even more interviews.

Had this one job I was interviewing for, after literally 5 separate interviews, I said "screw it". They clearly had no idea what they were doing.

Job hunting is basically a full time job.

I get that impression from companies. They never knew what they were doing when hiring. The latest way to pretend they are doing a good job of choosing candidates is to do more and more interviews.

I had a company ask for me to allow them to install a scanning application on my laptop so they could monitor (in real time) while I took a skills assessment. I told them in polite terms to fuck off.

Job searching while working full time is never fun. Good luck with your firing!

They asked you to install it on your own laptop? That's crossing a line.

Fuck that. Who gives a dam how you solve a problem if you solve the fucking problem. Also, no. I will not allow you to install spyware on any of my computers.

Just say that you have an urgent medical appointment or your mother was just diagnosed with cancer and you need to be with her. Lie through your teeth about all these terrible things that seem to be happening to you all of a sudden.

Assuming you're not fired, since you're looking, try telling the company you're interviewing for that you can't take much time off work for your current job because you owe them your diligence while working for them. Some may think you're not hungry enough, but you don't want to work for that sort of company anyway. Others will take it as a sign you'll be just a diligent working for them.

Use your sick days or vacation to do interviews. Maybe they should fire you for being a stupid lazy bitch who complains about things being too difficult. Good luck!

The company is run by a chinamen, no sick days/vacation days in Guangzhou

[–] • 3 pts

You take sick day when you die.

[–] • 2 pts

depending on the state they are required to give you sick days. Check the local laws and report them if they don't.

Hahahaha - you're getting promoted with extra hours, big boy !!.

Fuck it, we are in the same place. If my manager walked in right now and told me I'm fired I would hug him.

I don't know how is it where you are, but I've heard that food delivery companies are desperate for seasonal staff and are paying great money for the next few months. Could be an easy job to jump into while you are looking for something better.

I'm pretty sure there is a way to fire yourself.

[–] • 2 pts

I'm very close to just stop coming in and let them fire me.

If you get fired for cause there are no benefits like unemployment.

That is a joke around here. Any time management gives you a negative review and attempts to alter your behavior loudly declare, “oh fuck it I’m fired. I deserve it. That’s it it’s over.“ Management is investing in you by trying to alter your behavior and this is the last thing they expect.

There is actually a large/famous producer of deli meats and cheeses near me that is hiring. It would be a completely different industry/jib than I currently work, but it is an old school company that actually takes care of their employees, like gives everyone who works there benefits and pensions to everyone who works at the plant. Might be a good change of pace.

From my experience family run business are usually decent, so good luck.

Why not just walk away, then?

Can't get unemployment if you quit. I'm having a very difficult time trying to find a new job while I am fully employed, as I can't afford to take off work to do interviews and make cold calls.

[–] • 4 pts

No severance pay if you quit too.

[–] • 3 pts

Fair enough - be advised, If you're fired for negligence you can't get unemployment either.

[–] • 2 pts

They only say that, but it never holds up.

[–] • 3 pts

If you get fired for cause you can't get unemployment either. Ask them for a package and have them lay you off.

Whatever happened to finding employment through your social networks? Your actual face to face human being social networks not the digital stuff. I am not very social in my local area but if I needed a job I have about 50 people I could call.

[–] • 1 pt

My social network disintegrated during pandemic/lockdown.

Enjoy your firing and make it count.

I'm about to get on the bus. Come visit me at willow Grove

[–] • 2 pts

I will, just call and tell me when visiting hours are

Was just looking at the website. Think it's some stupid regiment like 2-3 Sundays or something

[–] • 2 pts

Did you get fired?

[–] • 4 pts

No, redivision of labor that actually makes sense. I have one counterpart, and we were in charge of two applications and split the US in two. Now I am in charge of one application for the entire US. It affects me in a somewhat positive way, but I still would rather have been fired.

[–] • 1 pt

Well damn. I hope you enjoy the small positive you get.

Good luck on the job search!

Have you thought of OnlyFans? I'd throw you a fin if you wear a sexy pirate outfit.

Sad thing is there's probably at least a million sick fucks that would pay for that type of "entertainment"

Evil is alive and well as we approach the finish line. But then we get to see it crushed if we survive.
