I have the qualifications and I have been hankering to get back to Verizon since they sold us off. I applied and I feel like I'm very qualified for this job, but I am not expecting too much.

Ugh, it's so stupid that I'm starting to get nervous about this department transfer. I know I can do well, but my crippling fear of fucking up is gnawing at me.

I got some sleep. Not nearly enough. Today will be rough.

Be sure to call out liking working for the company in your cover letter and pull on any company contacts you have. It's WAY easier for a hiring manager if someone already knows company culture and likes it.

The Verizon application system is pretty restrictive so I can't add any references but I have been putting that I've been trying to get back to Verizon since my dept was sold on every application with them.

Is there a hiring or recruiting contact? Call/email them to see if you can get in touch with the hiring manager saying you used to work at Verizon.
Well I just got home from the talk with our production manager about the job.
I wouldn't be starting training right away; it'd be about a week or so before I get moved. I honestly kind of expected this, so no big deal.
However.
The job terms and duties I was shown in writing the other day have changed. New form, new description, and so on.
1.) The pay raise is off the table. I'd be losing my $1/hour department lead bonus. Period, the end, end of discussion.
2.) I'd be basically handling shipping/receiving on a limited basis on nights. Alone.
3.) While my forklift operator duties would be the priority, I'd be expected to "lend a hand" in departments that need help. Any department. Even ones I'm not trained in.
When the production manager says I'd only have to "lend a hand" for "a little bit", I'm sure he genuinely believes it. However, I know full well that's not how my supervisor works. He moves people around willy-nilly, pulling people from one department to start work somewhere else, basically treating people like perfectly interchangeable cogs like at the big box chain stores he used to manage at.
So while on paper the job would be much less stress and a little less work in exchange for losing 20% of my take-home pay per week, in reality my supervisor will want me to finish anything I have to do on a forklift ASAP so he can take me and shove me in <shorthanded department> for the night, possibly even in the role I was in before doing this!
I have a week to decide if I want to keep on going with this, or tell them to shove it.

Things are getting very bad at work. Myself and the two other landscape women (on is only in 2 days) had a meeting today and called the company's partner in, whos in charge of hiring.
Our points were (made by my coworkers) that we are struggling hugely with the workload, that I have been made to take on far more than I should for my level and we're all stressed.
According to the partner, essentially tough, who cares if a graduate is most technically savvy. He doesn't want to prep for when I'm on holiday or leave. Also apparently I shouldn't be stressed, because if I was stressed I'd be in the office later than I am instead of leaving on time some days. And I was also patronisingly told if Im stressed that's just part of the job.
I've worked before, I've had careers, I've had stresses, I'm not a child. (Partner is over 60 and male) My landscape colleagues say it's completely unjustified for this workload to fall on me, it's not normal.
Aren't you leaving in the fall? I'd what what work your capable of doing in the agreed upon hours and let them worry about the shorting on capacity. About the only thing that you haven't done is document your concerns about the work load being in excess of what one person can done. Just a quick email with those meeting notes or something to safeguard yourself.

Yeah I am, and that's a very good point actually. I've got emails I've sent referencing things not getting done because of workload, I'll have to keep a copy.
Wow, my last post was gibberish. I often have to page away and come back and finish writing them so I get weird half thoughts or lost words but that was just an impressive level of WTF.
I'm going to go drink some more tea and try and wake up.

Hey, partner can fuck right off with that bullshit. If you lose, what, like half the people you had doing a workload and you DON'T expect the folks who are left to be stressed, overworked, and pissed off, you're a complete idiot.

Well
that's some serious bullshit.
Guess the other shoe finally dropped.
Yeah they're basically keeping koro in the same position he is in now, for less pay.
This production manager probably was, most likely, the architect of this plan, and he probably thinks he's fucking genius too.
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

The upside of living in Seattle and working this boring, spiritually unfulfilling assignment.
The sheer amount of grains I've eaten these past two days could hold me straight even if I:/ chugged bacon grease.

I deserve an extra week of spring break. Mine was entirely filled by being sick.
I have the qualifications and I have been hankering to get back to Verizon since they sold us off. I applied and I feel like I'm very qualified for this job, but I am not expecting too much.
I might know almost exactly where you work.
Two out of four options make me ask the question, why haven't you come by the Roanoke? It's a coin flip as far as I can tell.
12 hours, got to get home for tomorrow.

My current problem: They took away the 64-bit PC I built the installer on. I only have a slightly aged 32-bit PC.
As you can imagine, this poses something of a problem in terms of running, testing, and developing for a 64-bit platform.
I should quit and open up a doggy day care instead
good idea or greatest idea
I know someone who did that. He seems happy.
aside from rent and my fed student loans I have no real bills anymore
so like
I just need a farm or some large chunk of land
I don't know much about computers, but can you put another 32-bit pc next to yours and they'll, like, combine to 64-bit??
Amusingly, I actually did have another 32-bit dev spec PC on my desk next to this one last week.
They took that one away too.

From what Koro said initially at least some of that was less OT which I think he's good with.
Still blows. Especially the part that reads "Be the supervisors slave as he prioritizes his work over yours."
