How long were you at your present job before you started looking?? I still remember when I took I job that I hated to pay the bills and from day one was looking for another job

Been here for over a decade at this point. The first five years were awesome. Then we got bought by PE.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 3 points 8 months ago

I feel your pain brother. I've watched the long painful slide from PE acquisition.

Software company, decently big but not global, cornered a certain niche in the market. Can't really divulge more without risking my employment.

[–] sykaster@feddit.nl 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lmao no company is checking lemmy and can connect it to your ID

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'd think so but they did once find my Reddit handle, so I'm not taking any chances.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

What how, were they spying on you or did you accidentally reveal it somehow

[–] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 8 months ago

Dude you made a full face/body video of you cranking it onto your employee id, how did you expect to not get caught?

I once quit a job after 2 hours of my first day because my roommate called and told me that the job I really wanted called to tell me I got it. So I said Adios, and left.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I worked for Amazon for 4 hours and realized they were absolutely a horrible company to work for and made everything unnecessarily micro-managed. I left and said "I am over qualified".

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I quit many jobs by not showing up and I done what you have at least 60 times, sometimes without even having another job. And I am waiting for the state to approve my license so I can get the job I want and get the hell out of the one I have now.

Sucks if didn't have a family to support I already quit.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That's a great story. Love it

I bought a batch of business PC’s from a foundered business back in 2010 for cheap, to flip and sell on Craigslist. They were supposed to come wiped, but almost none of them did. I wiped ‘em/reinstalled the OS, but before I did, I got into a few of the user accounts and found that basically all the machines had been used for in the past few months was job hunting.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If the business is going belly up, chances are all the employees knew months before it was "announced".

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago

Yup. You got it.

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

You mean now?

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 months ago

I overheard two of our warehouse workers debating whether the place was purgatory or hell

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Yep, pay sucks and managers are control freaks.

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Left there before the wave of layoffs hit. Love where I'm at now. Don't settle.

[–] thenose@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I just resigned from there lol

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

That's everywhere. I get well paid (higher than most others in my industry), have annual bonuses & raises, and plenty of paid leave, but I'm always looking.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Every day I start my day checking the classifieds. Having a look at what other options are out there is a requirement, not an option. If you don't, you risk missing something better.

I worked at IKEA as a teenager and some summers as a student. We spend most of the down time and breaks discussing where we would like to study and which jobs we had applied to. My manager was very encouraging and helpful at suggesting fields to study/work at.

The wasn't hell or anything, just super uninspired and boring.

Most efficient system.
