Find Me A Job!!!

Post by rydi »

so. boss told me today that his boss told him to fire basically everyone, and that he would also be fired if sales didn't improve.

this is ridiculous, since we make all our #'s except raw revenue, which is impossible in this economy. furthe, those #'s are based off of the last manager who was commiting serious fraud to make his #'s. yet the DM still talks about how much the store was making... and the other stores are just as bad off too, making this whole thing even more absurd. oh, and for the last year the DM hasn't even been doing his job.

it is stupid. we will write his boss in hopes of getting him fired, but pretty much no one wants to stay. and the only way I would want to is if I got management, which looks unlikely at this point.

so, in short, FIND ME ANOTHER JOB!!!

Let's go work at DHS together. I'd say sub, but it's too late in the year.

There are state merit tests for many positions and there are always openings. Problem is, I cannot afford to take the time off to go test mon-thurs. Tests are free but take about 2 hrs each. I took one and passed it fine. Haven't heard a word about it.

Pay isn't about. Over $2000 a month. Double what I make now.

Just setup a resume online and apply to things. If approved, they send you the test number to show to the people at the capital building.

for DHS jobs, you need a bachelors. just say you have one, since you will soon.
