#MovingOn #RelationshipAdvice 🤔
Hey everyone! So, I’ve been going back and forth on whether I should just move on from a certain situation 🤷♀️. I could really use some advice and perspective on this. Here’s the context:
– I’ve been dealing with this issue for a while now
– I’ve tried everything I can think of to resolve it
– But it just seems like I’m hitting a dead end
So, should I just move on? What do you guys think?
One possible solution that I’ve been considering is to take a step back and evaluate the situation objectively. Maybe it’s time to let go and focus on what’s best for me in the long run.
What do you think? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences! 💬 #DiscussionTime #AdviceNeeded
oof. I get being extremely busy, but this is very unprofessional. that does not particularly mean that this person is trying to be, again, being extremely busy makes it very difficult to onboard people. I would call this person and attempt to meet ASAP.
Stuff like that makes me so mad. Not because they were super busy or couldn’t get to me but because i know they’re going to hold me to a higher standard than that and thats not ok. Companies need to set the standard, be the example. The employees shouldn’t need to be more professional than the employers… this is getting out of control.
Yes
This manager is unprofessional and possibly could have delegated someone else to onboard you if she’s out of town. Did you get an offer letter by email? Doing this all through text is clumsy.
I would move on honestly since it seems you’ve been at this text tag since May 31. Or at least send one last text describing your frustrations on the process and saying you will withdraw if you don’t hear a response within 48 hours. If they really want to hire you, there should be a sense of urgency on their end.
The shirt and badge are more professional than that rude jackass
This is more common than you think but that doesn’t mean you have to accept constant rescheduling. If they can’t respect your time, leave!
Yes you should
Yes. Respect yourself enough to move on.
Move on.
I would definitely move on. She hasn’t been able to set up a time for you to start working in almost 2 weeks, but her only response has been that she’s “super busy”? If she’s being this unprofessional during onboarding, imagine how bad it will be if you actually start working there.
Depends, do you have something else lined up? I’d stop waiting for a “hey come this time” and just show up. If that’s a fail, then I’d probably move on. HOWEVER, if you do have something lined up, go.
100% move on. If they’re so “busy” when you haven’t even started, just imagine what shitty job it’ll be when you deal with that daily
I had a similar experience to this. I was doing a training at a salon for a receptionist position, and the owner said she would follow up with me because she was leaning towards hiring me. I was fully onboarded (provided documentation) and I followed up with her a few times about when I would start and she gave me the run around. I ended up sending a message that I was no longer interested in the position (I quite frankly did not have time to waste on ignoring other options, i didn’t say this to her though).
She replied with a snarky message saying “She was going to actually contact me THAT day, and that if I no longer want the job then it’s fine.” I responded that I DID want the job, but I needed to know when I’d be starting. During her interactions I made it clear I was ready to start whenever.
It baffles me that some employers use their position of power to fuck people that are in dire need of work and waste our time. As if we don’t already feel like shit looking for employment. What a crock of crap.
EDIT: after I replied saying I still wanted the job if she was offering it she ghosted me.
Imagine what you’re doing now just to start…Now imagine this everyday as a job…Forget this, that manager is unorganized and doesn’t know how to lead. I would def forget it and find a new job
In Colombia for the weekend?
Is there anything else about this job that reads mlm setup to you?
I’ve been treated this way only to find out they were “so busy” because they are a “boss babe” and they would like me to join their “sales team” so I can have my own “money and freedom.” Clap hands emoji.
I would move on. Believe me, working for this person would be a nightmare.
Spoiler Alert! The shirt and badge are not ready for you!
Don’t stop looking for a new job.
If this manager is dragging her feet this long to get you started, this is how she gonna be if you start this job. Any question you need to ask her, or any help you need from her or anything, or any decision she needs to make, will always take weeks if not months. And then she’s gonna blame YOU for not meeting deadlines, or if something goes wrong because SHE failed to act
The only way you’re going to get any response from this person is if you find a way to corner them using social standards against them. So no asynchronous conversation like texting–make it a phone call or just bother them in-person, and don’t leave the conversation until you have a specific start date and time.
…or really just move on to something else, yeah.
I’ve had this happen to me before, you should move on. I scheduled an interview, went to the location and the manager never showed up. I kept asking his assistant and eventually she said he’ll call me. He never did.
Also for those that say to call, unless you’re recording calls this is a better way. A paper trail that proves you made several attempts and are now seeking other employment.
Just reading those messages is frustrating.
Damn job hunting can be really demoralizing.
This is why those who have “fuck you” money can sleep so good at night and walk around light as a feather.
