What is Your Employment Situation?

Logicaly · 03-10-2015, 02:30 AM

I just got promoted to Supervisor, Financial Services last week. Currently I manage a team of 8 people and we are already in the process of adding more members to the team. Basically what my team does is handle any fraud and billing issues that our users face, as well as enforcing the Terms of Service and handling reports about that as well. I love what I do, and I love the team that I work with, they really make my job so easy and make it fun to come to work every day.

I work at Sams club in the freezer / cooler. Dont know how long i will be able to keep the pace. my body is taking a beating. lots of heavy lifting and pulling. restacking water pallets near the freezer. pulling /pushing pallets way taller than me and completely loaded down even with a pallet jack its extremely heavy. especially when you have to straighten the cooler because the forklift driver just shoved stuff in there and now you cant get to the milk , eggs or tea to work it. so you have to pull out half the pallets in the cooler...

all i know is my body is falling apart. but hey...i atleast have a steady job i guess.

I help manage a vacation resort/bed and breakfast. I've met so many different folks from all over. I also live on the property, so I must do everything to help maintain the property in and out. It is very interesting work.

I work full-time with a 7 days on, 7 days off schedule. I love it. Yeah, working seven 10-14 hour days in a row can be brutal but those 7 days off are so sweet. It's like having a vacation every other week.

Niiiice! You are lucky.

I have always said that if they would let me, I would work triple shifts for 2 days and have a 5 day weekend. lol, though I can't vouch for the quality of my work after about 63 concurrent hours - but hey; the two triple shifts don't even have to be back to back!

I work full time. Always have. Lord willing, always will.

What is new though is that this job is salary. This is somewhat rare in nursing. Bye-bye overtime. That was hard to get used to. However, it is nice on snow days and holidays and when i only work around 35 hours or so per week. And i know exactly how much my check will be without fail.

Salary was hard to get used to, but i really am enjoying it now.

By choice: I resigned my position of 5 1/2 yrs on 12/15/14. Today, I accepted the position at my local hospital to be an Environmental Service Technician.

This will be my 4th career choice since graduating college in 1980. My fear was my past careers and education and age: may have *disqualified* me. I am happy to say none of the above did!
