If only I was more like you… when I was asked about personal achievements I could have talked about the most recent puzzle I had glued together

that was in 2008. keep up, keep up.
anyway, i suppose that's better than your reality of (still) being an unwarranted elitist butthole in 2021 so i will allow you to use that whenever you're asked |

Just to go on a little on-topic diversion, I had the interview/presentation for the internal hiring process (that is basically a best practice appointment of my coworker into a new role)
I talked through my presentation in a monotone while staring at the stopwatch on my phone to make sure I didn’t go over the 10 minute limit So I have that to work on, for the next interview |

better than yours, but finding a job can be just as miserable as the search ;_;

They gave it to a different colleague
He started the same day as me. Interview questions were about change management and handling conflict with colleagues So…I sense the journey ahead is going to be a bit…rocky |

Nothing says “I don’t care” like an edited post

So it's not really an interview, as my job only communicates via email, but I was offered a chance to qualify as an auditor due to my "elite" status (their term) in production. It's only an 84 cent per hour pay increase, which is laughable, but if I get in the door maybe I can grow again. It would be nice to at least have a W2 instead of a 1099 because I'm highly stressed about taxes this year. We'll see.

That sounds really positive - all progress is good. And being recognised for good performance through the offer of other opportunities is a feather in your cap even if the extra money won’t be huge

Getting on a W2 will save you about 7.5% on your federal tax burden, which can definitely be significant. So if that job would get you on a W2 you can def see it as a much bigger raise. |

Yeah, thanks for the crash course tonight. I have a ballpark of what I'll owe now, which is not as bad as I thought it would be. Still too damn high, and highlights how badly I need a W2 position.

had my 2nd day at work today and it's probably been the best on-boarding experience i've had to date; my supervisor actually cares about my getting comprehensive training/understanding instead of just showing me to a desk to do busy boring shit work all day.
my last long-term boss was such a cunt who would micromanage me and no one else. i worked there before she did and about two weeks in, she assigned the other two women in our dept. (both white) to edit/proofread my work, which gave me no chance to catch any of their mistakes before they handed it to her. once a girl changed the word 'to' to 'of' which was incorrect in context so my boss asked ME if i knew the difference between 'to' and 'of'. man, that job had me angry and emotionally depleted every single day. honestly, i was a little reluctant to have a white woman/person directly supervise me after finishing school because there have been other bad experiences. but i took a chance on this place because its leadership/staff is otherwise diverse and centers racial justice in my neighborhood |
