A job opened up in my area that pays almost double what I’m making now for similar work and similar hours. I’ve been at my current position less than a year. Do I apply?
Eta: the position in question pays a living wage as opposed to my current position, is salary which means pto, sick days, vacation, etc, and it is closer to my gym.4 -
I hate my job but I can’t quit my job because I need some way to pay my bills. My boss seems to think I can do the work of three different people so…lots of overtime for me and no personal life2

I'd do some research to see if it's a good place to work and if it is I'd absolutely apply. You have to do what's best for you and your family. Never know, if you get it and give your notice at your current job, they might offer you more to stay 🤷♀️3 -

I’m not sure. He had another project he did recently and had two setbacks in a row that weren’t his fault and I had to really push him to do it a third time. I think he’s feeling a little discouraged. Crossing fingers he perseveres and learns that success often comes after repeated failure3 -

I think I know some of the people in the company. And I have someone doing a little digging for me. I think I’m going to submit my resume and see what happens.2 -

What is your hesitation? Anything other than the short tenure at your current company?0 -

Fact. There is a reason I have not interviewed since the early 90s.3 -

We are outsourcing some *kitten* to this guy who is using our office space to do his thing and he just walked into my office and took tissues from my tissue box, barely asking permission, as he plucked three tissues. Wtf. I am not the office mommy2

Yes!!! Doesn't hurt to keep all your options open. And if it's a better fit might as well try. Good luck!!!1 -
How do you teach someone something when they seem hell bent on trying to tell you they know it all but at the same time are super enthusiastic and want to learn.
How do you say nicely I see your skill set and it's not what you think it is1 -

The only people I bother trying to teach things to are my children. And in that case it behooves me to make sure it gets learned 😂ButterMeMuffinz wrote: »TwitchyMagee wrote: »

My two cents as a manager: opportunities like these are rare. Double can be a life changing amount of money. If it is, don't pass it up.
Source: I didn't pass it up, having lots of money is fun, can recommend.2 -

I actually really like helping people at the rink. I figure I was lucky to get access to some of the best coaching so I should share this and it's fun when you see someone improve or at least feel more confident. And what I'll be helping her with the coaches I always feel lack teaching they just assume you'll pick it up which drives me nuts.1 -
