This actually happened to me: I was hired as a Senior Administrative Assistant at a Big 10 university while I was trying to become a successful free-lance writer. During my performance review, my manager asked me what more I wanted from my position. I replied that I wanted more challenging responsibilities. M manager wrote me back, "It's not the department's responsibility to give you more challenging work." I was floored. In any case, this manager went on some sort of pilgrimage to Turkey, and in her absence the program's director gave me what I asked for. Upon her return, my manager was furious and tried to make my life a living Hell. I quit. She was fired.

Minimal amount of paid holidays. Was not ever clear on exactly who my supervisor was, because about fifty people were ordering me around and wanted everything done instantly. Adios, jerks.

I worked for one of the top SaaS companies in the industry for 3 years. Things had gotten stagnant. No one was getting promoted. The wages were really low. The raises were stingy at best. The work kept getting harder. Some of our benefits were getting taken away. Management didn't seem to care and didn't offer much in the way of being excited to work for them. People on my team kept leaving which I eventually did too. It was disappointing to have to leave but I thought it was the right move. But then 18 months later, I was let go and went back to my old company as a contractor. To my surprise and jealousy, they had made a lot of changes while I was gone for that 18 months such as giving annual bonuses which they hadn't done previously and a new building was in the works which the CEO had said wasn't going to happen. If I'd only waited things out another year or so instead of leaving. The irony.

Let us not forget that most people don't actually give a squat about their "career". I worked on the weekends for a summer at this local company that assembles commercial furniture and does office renovations (in our large city). They pretty much have no competition because this company is pretty large for what they do, and they've been around for ~30 years. Pretty much all of them don't have a college degree, but they're totally content with their $23/hour wage, secure job, that the company is totally not innovative, etc. If this company is "innovative", like exactly how would that benefit a person whose job is simply to renovate offices and assemble furniture? In the time I spent there, the ONLY innovative thing I can think of is perhaps the "moving process". When they move clients to a different building for instance, they keep tab of everything on a notepad. Would be super nice if everything was digitized so you know exactly where all the new furniture goes, etc.

They didn't like employees leaving (it was always due to the hostile work environment) and the new job would keep trying to get in touch w them about paperwork. They didn't want to release our employee to the new job so they would make it difficult. They would even lie about employee performances to the new job just cause they didn't want to lose more people. It was terrible.

I spent more than a decade working at a company that used antiquated equipment. When I started working there in 2004 the equipment they used was already on its way out as most printing companies were switching to direct-to-plate & digital while they were still using imagesetters and film processing. Eventually the manufacturer of the imagesetter no longer supported it, replacement parts were no longer available, and we had to order film from 3rd world countries. I assumed at some point they would upgrade, but once I realized they wouldn’t I began looking elsewhere only to also realize my experience & skills had become as antiquated as their equipment. Printing companies that had switched to DTP & digital 5-10 years prior were using automated workflow systems & processes I had no knowledge or experience in so even though I had over a decade of experience it was practically worthless. This is high end, multi million dollar software & systems I could only learn through on the job training. The company I worked for was stable in their small niche and stuck in that mindset. As long as I stayed working there I had stable employment, but I was stuck there. My resume grew more & more antiquated & worthless as the years went on. I did eventually land another job gaining experience in updated technology, but continued to be behind the curve playing catch up for the remainder of that career. I’m retired now, but I think of my time at that company as the worst career decision of my life.

I know a secretary who wouldn't let go of her DOS and they let her keep it until the whole computer crashed and burned. I don't understand the reasoning. Or, I do understand it, and it's pathetic: they use what they can afford. Their budgets are limited, are cut every year, and they're told by politicians to improvise. With private businesses the motives are less clear. Incompetence seems to be chief among the qualities of any failed business, and I would imagine this extends to all kinds of decisions--what hardware and software to purchase, who to hire, how to create a solid, functional infrastructure, etc. And it's as he says in the video, they start off badly, have no idea what they're doing because somebody once told them they should create a start-up, but what they actually end up creating is disaster. My question is: with so many businesses failing to respond positively to new technologies, what's the condition of the people and places who actually INVENT this stuff? I mean, why create something fresh, dynamic and intuitive if no one is going to buy it? Apparently they're finding out in northern Cali right now. And what will happen when other countries (oh, say, maybe, China) take up the challenge and boot the USA into the Third World? It's on its way. Finally, American parents who can't foresee this stuff happening are encouraging their offspring to "get in the trades" rather than go to college. Well, what the hell do they think the trades ARE?

@@maxalberts2003 The company I worked at was started by the father, whose wife & kids helped out. The company grew quite large and they relocated, building a huge facility specific to their purpose. After he passed away the family continued to run the shop with the mom, siblings, their spouses and grandkids holding all the management & upper management positions. Pure nepotism, given jobs because of their relationships rather than their talent or skill. You’d think the grandkids at least would be more innovative & forward leaning, but apparently not since “grandma” was still in charge. They had a small niche in the printing market and focused their efforts on maintaining that niche rather than expanding & competing for a larger share of the market. The equipment they had and the processes they used, although antiquated, worked for them even though they required more time & were more labor intensive. Most of the labor hired were low-wage immigrants on work Visas, making them beholden to that job to retain their status until they could apply for Permanent Resident. The company, having cheap labor wasn’t interested in investing $$ into less labor intensive technology. They worked them in 12 hour shifts, 6 days/week, which enabled workers to earn more $$ from all the overtime, but destroyed marriages & families. It was hard, repetitive work too leaving most with repetitive strain injuries like Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and since these workers were on a work Visa they didn’t seek Worker’s Compensation. That was a big No-No. Even taking more days off than allowed could get you fired.

@life after layoff Do mortgage companies call your work to verify employment?

@tomduley6357 Жыл бұрын

I work in HR and yes they do. At the beginning and end of the process. They do one last check just before closing to see if you are still employed.

Yes, they definitely do. Maybe not all, but my previous lender definitely reached out to my company's accountant/controller.

using "industry" examples from 23 years ago means you just went over the heads of anyone 30 and younger

I worked for an innovative company but was denied the opportunity to work on IMPACTFUL projects to prove myself for a promotion. Money isn't the only motivator, but growth and making an impact do too. My story: • Designer with 11 years experience • Stayed with a large broadcast company for nearly 5yrs and hoped to make it. Projects got canceled or outsourced to contractors. I was stuck with BAU work 95% of the time. When an opportunity came for a promotion, they said I havent delivered significant impact and they aren't obligated to promote me. I chose to leave because they wasted my time, stunted my growth + new head was power trippy. • After a month of applications, it turned out my skills were stagnant and couldn't land senior roles. I signed up to a ux/ui bootcamp to upskill. • Eventually landed a job at another big company. After proving myself and being reliable (1.5 yrs), I asked to take responsibility for a part of our new project. I was turned down and told "we appreciate you skilling up, but you dont have experience in that skill. It'll be risky". • I was burned out, felt lost and felt i was trapped in a cycle. I lost all desire of progressing and lossy interest in design. • Picked up coding and felt happy making things work. A year of self study after work, i gave my notice, left that company and my design career forever. I've recently finished a coding bootcamp and looking for work at the moment. I believe I'll land something eventually.
