The job I applied for is asking for my first and last paystub of my current job, with all of the payment info hidden, so they can verify I've worked there as long as I say that I have
Never had to do this before, but I guess it doesn't seem that weird
Not sure how I'm gonna find a paystub from 2012 though
We do that, it means HR at your current job isn't answering the phone or returning calls.
if that's the case it's time to remember that other position you had held at the company since it was founded (or you were working age) that has relevant experience.
For as much as Apple wants to be the smooth user experience OS they have the most harrowing update of any software company. I really don't enjoy having my work laptop restart a dozen times in the middle of an update progress bar and wondering if this is the one that bricks it

At work for begining of the year teacher meetings. Got my e-ink notebook successfully on the building wifi and have started entering library use requests from teachers. It auto syncs to my work outlook calendar! Now to figure out how to share my outlook calendar in a way that people can see it.
fuck me so I lost my job in April and I have gotten one preliminary screening call and *nothing else* despite applying to between 3-5 jobs a week afjdfjddjdflkjfdjlkfdsljk and nobody wants remote workers anymore fuck this

So out staff broken up by academies and went on a field trip to different community partners. I went with the building and construction academy and we visited an architecture and engineering firm here. You ever just radically with you'd taken different life choices? Fuck man. I took CAD in high school all four years. I loved doing that. I made physical architectural models. I wanted to go do that in college, but my guidance counselor told me I sucked at math so shouldn't bother trying and... here we are.
Everything about that place was cool as hell to me and I wished I worked there.

I spent four and a half years in a relationship with an architect and I can tell you that profession is perhaps the most toxic I've ever seen. A lot of firms present cool facades, but they only hand the prestige projects to senior partners and subsidize it all by grinding their junior associates into paste making five-over-ones for the world's worst people.
Another person is quitting at my job. This was a good job, maybe even great, and then this new upper management asshole got here. I swear to god she printed out a list of C level fuck ups and is just going down it checking them as she does them. Very frustrating.

A position opened here at the district level that seems like it would be a good gig. The pay isn't enough (schools olol) but the benefits are great. So I'd been racking my brain all day trying to think of people I know who I should tell to apply and... yeah, I don't really have any friends.
Been getting the itch to apply to new jobs. Which is insane, since I like my job and the people I work for/with, it has the flexibility I need (including letting me basically set my own hours so I can look after my kids as needed and a literal boat-load of PTO), I make more than I could most other places, and I have a good pension set-up.
But I guess I've just been here so long. I knew once I started this job I'd likely retire from it, but I still feel like I should be looking to see if I can do better.. (I cannot)
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

"I have 87 years of continuous service in my previous position. Here is the silver certificate I was paid for my first fortnight of employment. My father was so proud he embeded it in bakelite for posterity even though we had been living on turnips and shredded burlap for the first two years of the Depression. Anyway, the listing was for five years experience, can we move on to the next question?"
"Hey Smurph, we had a meeting a week ago where a bunch of people talked at eachother with no real consistent topic. There was no agenda and I took no notes. Did you complete all of your action items from that meeting? Also do you remember what they were?"

Getting rid of iMacs for ewaste because they're old and being replaced. Most of them are like 2016 or 2017 models so it's time as they're going to not be updated and all that, but what's this? 20" dual core? 2007? Huh.

god damn. We just sent off 40 or so iMacs for ewaste too, but our freshly retired ones were all like 2013 models. We're still re-deploying repaired 2017 models.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
New person hired here in the office. I overhear them talking to other coworker about contracts and suddenly they begin yapping about how AI would be great for this.
Oh no they're a moron. Well I guess they'll fit in at this location.

Contracts are actually a pretty solid use case as for many terms are fairly standardized and you can missing clauses etc. vs. a "good" contract as well as assign weights to terms to understand relative value of different compromises. That said - it requires a TON of baseline work, classification and other stuff, not something you can just jam in.

Delivered a ban letter to a patron today. I will say that "Fuck you directly" is a pretty powerful thing to repeatedly shout as you storm out the door.
Just had to explain the circumstances of my firing (including the part where, after that first meeting, no one talked to me about it again until the day I got fired) to claim unemployment. That was super fun.
Now back to wrestling with anxiety and imposter syndrome job hunting.
Hey job thread, half my department got laid off today with no notice. It's a small team and we lost enough people that there's literally no way my team can function anymore.
Oh also we are the finance team who bills and receives all the money.
What's their plan? Well some dickhead exec apparently got sold some magic beans some AI bullshit and decided to fire the people doing the work before even testing the AI solution.
I'm still employed for now but have a meeting scheduled for next week. Even if I'm not let go (lol they can try) I can see the writing on the wall
So anyway, what's the new hotness for job searching?
What exactly do you do now? An A/R specialist of some sort? Is that what you want to continue doing?

Doing AR with insurance providers but I also do all of our data analysis/ stats reporting and ideally I'd love to make that my full time if possible. I can do high level Excel and SQL but I'm a little rusty with databases since this place mainly just uses Excel for everything

I am not a meeting person at work. I am in actual direct patient care. However, for unknown reasons, I ended up on some fucking committee.
In all of your experiences, does anything ever actually happen in meetings? So far they are completely unnecessary.
We have monthly meetings for the district's tech departments, but the director is very adamant that he not be talking the whole time. We'll all have little projects going on and we're talking about them during the meeting, no more than five minutes each, and engage everyone in the conversation. There's no real way to say "this should have been an email" because everyone's asking questions.
He's also a big fan of "alright that meeting took seven minutes, everyone go home" which rules because I'm hourly and still get paid.

I think there are always people hiring for AR in general, and if you've been doing it a while you should be able to swing a manager role.
There are definitely data analyst jobs out there that are fully remote, but honestly the job market isn't great for that role right now. Lots of companies invested into data science and data analysis without understanding how to use the outputs or even quantify the value. As a result, there have been layoffs in those roles and they're harder to find.

Yes, and no.

Nothing tends to happen in meetings either, but occasionally you'll get a meeting led by someone who wants to get something done in it.

I worked with an asshole who told me a truism "If it's everyone's responsibility, it's no one's responsibility."
He then proceeded to make a committee for everything he was asked to decide and tried to rope me into all of them.
