Nice man I'll have to drive by and wave sometime
Kado doing it
I'm like 3 months away from moving to some flyover state and working as an airplane mechanic. This job is great - I just need a career change.

I met an airplane mechanic once and he had me reconsidering my whole life plans over the course of 3 beers. The numbers he was throwing around for how little he actually worked were wild.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostGOT THE JOB LADSCongrats brother! #TeamFuckGME 👀
Been hella interviewing but I got the one I wanted most. Going to working with securities lending at a pension fund. Essentially shorting stocks lol
I had an offer to work at a museum about 3 years ago. Would've worked as a historian-lite, interviewing older vets and 1st gen refugees to get their stories before punching out.
Think I may look into that again too

Since we had the wage discussion in the kitchen where everybody could hear us because all the rooms were occupied, I waited a day to talk to the boss.
I said it feels as it doesn't matter how well you do, you will get the minimum raise anyway. I said that I'm disappointed to get a 1.8% when the inflation is 4% and when my billable got about 9% higher last year.
Don't know if anything will come out of it, but I talked to some coworkers and they are ready to get disappointed as well. Hopefully they'll complain as well.
That's something I never got, nobody talks about their wages except me. I think it's better if we can compare wages and see where we all stand.

predicament.
got offered to work on a killer sci-fi show for another studio for a few months
OR
we're in the middle of negotiations towards a big budget episodic for my own studio.
I'd have to hire a VFX supervisor to replace me for the time being.
the sci fi show is remote work and its 9-6pm.
so realistically I can only check in on my studio business after hours or weekends.
Id hate to not manage the day to day of my own business but this other project is pretty damn good to part of.

By rossonero Go To PostSince we had the wage discussion in the kitchen where everybody could hear us because all the rooms were occupied, I waited a day to talk to the boss.its the same for the film industry too, well depends on the position but a lot of day rates don't even come close to matching inflation over a period of time, say 5-10years.

The one’s who work day shift do very little work compared to the night shift crew. This is due to day shift aircraft having short turn around times where no real maintenance or troubleshooting is done. It generally takes a long time to get day shift as it is driven by seniority in the airlines so you would be working graveyard shift on the weekends for years, possibly over a decade.
I'm good at picking things up quickly and juggling but man I feel like my brain is oozing out of my ears some days. Every day lately is kind of like a new chapter of a new book and I'm pretty much always working on something these days
The sales part of my job is whatever, I can do it on autopilot usually. But I told my old boss I was eyeballing his job for the future when it was time for his replacement to get moved up (I learned that we groom people for certain positions rather than it being open).
Now I'm in on all kinds of random shit that isn't in my job title (supply chain, logistics, partnerships, acquisitions, etc). Plus we are back traveling to see clients and events now which is a new experience for me compared to my old job where we never went anywhere. And still having to grow my own business basically as a side job at this point. It all ties into my business overall but our other sales reps just get the word sent down from on high, rather than being involved in the planning & decision making. Some of them prefer it that way and after this year I'll have a better idea of how I'd like it to be for myself.
It's dope af having actual guidance and mentorship for once though. They really could've just kept me locked into sales instead of allowing me in and letting me learn on the fly.
so this guy specifically mentioned pursuing the cargo/freight airline mechanic path as you advance quicker on that side of things. it's been a while so i forget all of the specifics but he said it's basically a 3-4 year school & grinding timeline to making good money and hours vs a decade plus on the commercial airline side of things.

Cargo airlines are a better gig than passenger airlines. FedEx and UPS do pay BIG bucks. However, they both require 3 years of exp on heavy aircraft unlike passenger airlines who will take you straight out of school depending on manpower needs. It’s harder to get into the major cargo airlines. Plus they still run based on the seniority system so if you are stationed in Alaska then you will see dayshift relatively soon. If you are stationed at one of their popular hubs then you will be waiting behind 100+ on the seniority list.
Schooling takes 2 years more or less and both UPS and FedEx do not consider that exp if you apply to them. You will have to grind somewhere else after school to receive that exp. Cargo side is great, recession-proof job that will always have work available.
Around 2 years into every job I've had, I should've left for a different job 6 months prior and once again I'm in the same shitty position
Fuck I'm tired

By FortuneFaded Go To PostI wouldn’t tell my coworkers my interests, let alone my employersThat's why you lie lol
guess depends on the job. if you need to fit in a team most HRs will take interests into account.
it always helped me being open about that stuff during the interviewing process and i'm sure it helped people i hired and i'm someone who would never hang out or talk with work people if i'm not paid to do it.

Thoughts on job titles? Seeing a higher paying job posting and based description of the job is something I'd be willing to do in but I don't want that job title on my resume ever again
By s y Go To Postyay/nay on an 'interests' section on your resume?It depends on the industry. In finance for candidates just graduating university, an interests section is something that's quite common. Otherwise, eh.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Now, as businesses call employees back, pushing office occupancy across the country above 42 percent, they’re deciding whether to let workers maintain those freedoms, or to take measures to ensure that people are reporting to their desks.
Some managers at Goldman Sachs, which has roughly 20,000 New York-based employees and has called its staff back five days a week to offices nationwide, are maintaining spreadsheets tracking which team members have swiped their badges to enter the office. At Bloomberg, employees have long been able to see through an internal system when their colleagues entered the building. At SmartRecruiters, a software company, managers can use data from their desk reservation system to follow up with employees who don’t show up.
“There’s a little bit of a veiled threat sometimes,” said Zach Dunn, a co-founder of Robin, a platform for companies to manage hybrid work. “I’ve been on the circuit with a bunch of H.R. professionals, and one of the questions they always ask is, ‘How can we confirm people are working when they’re not in the office?’”
“It seems like it’s coming from some form of old-guard leadership asking an H.R. team to basically boost engagement,” he added. “Which is a coded word for get butts in seats.”
At Goldman Sachs, data on workers’ badge swipes has been discussed during the company’s weekly meeting of investment bank managers, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly. In one of the meetings, managers explored strategies to compel bankers to go into the office, such as by scheduling in-office appointments with colleagues on days those people are known to be working remotely. Or by scheduling meetings on Mondays and Fridays, when people are least likely to come in.https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/22/business/hybrid-work-attendance.html
We don't talk enough about how micro-management and overall managerial distrust is a complete detriment to productivity and employee happiness that eventually leads to burnout and turnover. This innate distrust of employees completing their work unless they are visible from a desk is how these giant corporations end up having an extremely bloated management structure, supreme inefficiencies, and slow progress because every jackass with someone reporting into them wants to "approve the work".
Going from obscene micromanagement while being the top performer to “naw we trust you to do your job and we will let you know if you’re fucking up” has been a godsend to my mental health.
I talk to people at my old job and they are absolutely baffled we only have 2 sales meetings a year compared to every week and that they let us work from anywhere in the country instead of in the office only.

eventually my seniors realized the best way to handle me is to leave me the fuck alone. I'll come late and leave early but I'll clean up everything when I'm there. I'll even do stuff from home
forcing me to stay for 8-10 hours is a recipe for sulking
By Lunatic Go To PostI've developed an extreme hatred for project managers.I know the feeling lol.
Most of my hatred is reserved for recruiters now, though. Never met one that wasn't useless and had no actual idea what they were looking for.
It's just funny how, unintuitively to people establishing hierchical business models, overmanagement has the exact opposite impact on productivity
You can tell right away who's in it to make something and who's in it to just feel in power
We're just creating little microstates. Some exist for the king and some exist for the people

By reilo Go To PostSo you're telling me that a marketing email doesn't need to go through 7 levels of approvals?funny thing that happens in post production a lot.
a shot will go through numerous steps for approval, from VFX supervisor down to the Showrunner, and no one will see an obvious mistake until the show airs. lol
QC is haaaard. Sometimes something just ISN'T visible until you're screening it for someone outside the production
What's the shortest time period between looking for a new job to accepting a new job you've experienced?
By s y Go To PostWhat's the shortest time period between looking for a new job to accepting a new job you've experienced?A weekend. Got a 50% pay raise at the new place, too.
By Kibner Go To PostA weekend. Got a 50% pay raise at the new place, too.So application sent Friday, job offer accepted Monday? Kinda hoping for something similar.
By s y Go To PostSo application sent Friday, job offer accepted Monday? Kinda hoping for something similar.Let go on a Friday, application sent in same day after recommendation from job that let me go, interviewed on Sunday, accepted on Monday.
Starting June 1, everyone will be required to be in the office at least three days a week, which matches the hybrid schedule Discovery has had in place for a while. Transitioning to that, employees will have to be in the office at least two days a week starting in May, which is next week.This sucks. A lot of people moved out of town over the last two years, and they only have a week to fully relocate back. For no reason.
While the move was not unexpected — Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is known as a proponent of collaborative work in person as indicated by the Discovery work-from-office mandate — today’s announcement brought stress and anxiety after more than two years of working from home, I hear.
WB Discovery making a lot of shitty moves right out the gate
That's what we have here as well and it works pretty well for me.
But that announcement doesn't leave much time for people to get ready....

it's a dick move for sure but were they promised wfh forever? i couldn't imagine moving away without having a contract signed that it's not going to change post-pandemic.
