I stayed with the same company for over 20 years, so I haven’t had to look for a job in a long time. Honestly, I wasn’t prepared for how overwhelming it would feel. There are so many places to look, so many versions of your resume to make, and so much silence after you apply.…
I've been looking for a job for 8 months now. Came across a handful of scams. I have my own natural energy drink juice business, but finding funding is hard. I took the post office assessment; I passed, but still waiting. Just trying not to lose my mind
Hi. I’ve had my own strategy business for the last 10 years…before that a great 20-year career in advertising and research. But I can’t get a job to save my life. I’m losing my house. I know many other experienced women are going through this as well, but I don’t know what to do…
My coworkers and I were working out of town and when we work out of town we have to ride share . Anyhow the 2nd day of work one of our co-workers was late she was supposed to meet at the car at 3am. So at 3:18 we left for work. Halfway to work our lead calls us and tells us to…

After 23 years with the same organization, I’m officially stepping into the job search again. It’s a strange mix of emotions — gratitude for the years of growth, pride in the work I’ve done, and the reality that starting over after two decades is tougher than people realize. The…
Hi Everyone, Just a short post...about PTO. I've worked for my company roughly 20 years. The noose is tighter than ever over PTO. We have unlimited, but there have never been any real backups for work. It seems like whenever we request these days, there's some type of…
Hello, I was hoping to get feedback on the Rippling HRIS platform. I am currently evaluating the system to transition from our existing platform (Paychex) and I’m looking for insight on how the system performs. Thank you in advance for your feedback
My old boss at my company runs the data science team. I was hired and put on her team because they didn't really have a place specifically for what I do. At the beginning of the year, they moved me off her team because they had hired a new informatics director who fits better…
Feeling undervalued at work i work for a ruthless, toxic ceo that does not value her employees. She treats employees like slaves, is extremely controlling, threatens them with their job and quite frankly only thinks about herself. She told a group in a meeting that we need to…
hello I recently got written up for something I find unfair. They told me to do a salad bar, which I had only done once. I have been working in a dish pit. So I did it for the first time on my own and thought I did well, even though I had only done it once before. I also asked…

I am going to quit my job as soon as I get a new one, because of gaslighting and multiplication. I was wondering if you know of a way to get a job fast and temporary until I find a better option. Like part time or seasonal. I almost quit on the spot today. I also can't seem to…
I work as a construction manager and a colleague was very disrespectful to me. He was consistently talking over me and at one point he called me "sir" in front of another colleague (I think rather mockingly - I am a petite, feminine woman), and then after an awkward silence said…
