The people in the National Office who I sent my work to were all recognized.
Most of it was not their work.

Here's my vent. You can tell me I'm in the wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's not all on me.
I was hired in as a part-timer. Pretty much 24 hours/ week, though up to 26 is approved. They give me a little PTO now (only due to a change in law, before vthat it was zero benefits whatsoever) based on less than 25 hours/week. Pretty sure I'm averaging more, but fine, whatever. I mentioned I could work extra to cover vacations. Back in July, I had to cover 2 people's vacations at the same time. One of the people I only help during vacations, the other I help all the time. I had to ask if it was okay to work extra for a couple weeks--nearly full-time, but not quite. Fine, good. (Shouldn't they be asking me, though?). We went into July swamped with work, and everything worked out fine.
Last week, I only has main person I help out on vacation. We were all caught up going into it, so I figured 32 hours a week could work. I don't know! Nobody asked me to, and I had family obligations.
I didn't manage to get something out that involves an incredibly lengthy process. I'm developing my own notes on this that are 20 pages long so far. This time, it involved a report that was 160 pages long, whereas I heard mention the 134 pages last summer was long.
So, it was a lot longer than normal, we were down to 50% of normal man hours for it, I'm still unsure what I'm doing, the lady that could answer my questions acts like she hates me and is answering the bare minimum, and nobody is giving me any guidance. I still don't know exactly when these reports have to be completed going forward.
Yeah, I got in trouble a little, though boss was super cool about it.
Eta: someone got shitcanned today, but it wasn't me, and it had nothing to do with my issue. I heard something about a $4M mistake, but I'm not in that loop. I, on the other hand, may actually get more hours so that I can do the amount of work that is expected of me. Go figure.

Lizzarqueen - any idea what constitutes a $4M mistake? Just curious. One wonders if the person that got shitcanned actually had the ability to control the process and authority to make changes?
Hopefully you will be allotted the hours you need to do your job completely/get some benefits. Which would either be at 30 or 32 hours right?
I came here to ask a question for my DD. My DD has two semesters of school left - the one she is currently midway through and next semester. She applied for Graduation today, in the hopes that she will not be blindsided by being told she is short a required course after classes are full or the semester has started. (Happed to her cousin's husband. He should have graduated 2 years ago, but he did not know he was short a course until graduation, and he already had accepted a job - so he still has not finished his degree. They got Married and started a family, he appears to be doing very well despite the incomplete degree).
She just applied for an open position with the company she is with (Major airline) which required 3 years experience and a degree, neither of which she has. But she said the position is open at the airport she is at, and the job was not filled - either no applicants or they did not like the candidates. She is hoping they will accept some of her non-airline experience. Who knows by the time they do interviews and fill the job her degree may be complete.
Anyways, she is questioning if she should apply for an Associate Degree. She would need to do it now. It would cost her $45. If she does not apply this semester, she will not be able to do it. So, if she would not finish for some reason, she would not be able to ask for the associate degree.
I am a little concerned that she will get the job she applied for and never finish her degree.
My son applied for the Associate Degree when he completed 2 years , so he has both an AS and a BS degree from UWW. I just remember my DH had a fit about it B/C he thought it was a complete waste. I think maybe he was afraid DS would not finish the BS.

Lizard Queen - I am confused, did you get in trouble for working 32 hours because it was too much or because it was too little? But if you are hired to work part-time, and a set amount of hours at that, they do not have the right to change the number of hours you are working without talking to you. (And you shouldn't generally be able to change the number of hours you are working without talking to them.) And no one should expect someone to be able to do a job they haven't fully been trained in in the same amount of time as someone who has. If it is that important, the supervisor should be checking up on the job, and providing both guidance and clear time-tables.
bean29 - Here's the truth - the AS only matters if she doesn't get her BS, unless she thinks that getting the AS will qualify as the "degree" to land the job she's applied for, but she wouldn't get it if she has to wait one more semester to finish the BS.
On my own front, C starts a new job on Friday. He hasn't had a job in over 10 years. This is going to be a big adjustment for both of us.

@bean - I wouldn’t bother with the AS. If she gets the job, I would just ask her to put together a plan for getting her BS. Many people work full time and take classes, especially if she is young/no kids.

bean29 There was a complete accounting system change that happened right when I and this other person started. I work in a completely different system, but I know she worked a lot on the changeover there, so things could have easily gotten mucked up in the process. Otherwise, I don't know. I try not to eavesdrop, but these are open cubicles so it's hard not to catch bits and pieces of conversations, at least. Also, I would go ahead and get the AS if it's in a different enough field from the BS. shanendoah You hit the nail on the head! I told my cubicle neighbor last week, I'm either going to get in trouble for working too much, or too little. I feel like I'm always doing the wrong thing there no matter what I do there. It's a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation. (Yes, I should have asked, but I didn't even want to do the 32 I worked. I guess I wanted them to have to ask me.) Another example: I was in trouble for not getting through the report quickly enough, but also for going too quickly. I started pushing through towards the end, and I also wrong for not going back to check and change something. The last time I had asked about that particular situation, the date was too far away, but this time, I was supposed to change it to that far away date. I'm supposed to just know things, in general, it seems. I was in trouble because I got bills out 2 and a half weeks before their due date instead of 3 weeks. At least that's what I think--I'm still not sure of the deadline for that! They just vaguely tell me they have to get out all the time. I didn't even have this good of a picture of it until I got the talking to from my boss. The lady I assist is now supposed to start making a calendar for us, from my boss's suggestion. I always thought it was weird that they don't do a department calendar, other than for people to list their PTO. A couple weeks ago, I was leaving, and she asked me if I did this one thing. My response, no, I had no idea it needed to be done.

Yeah, my DD has to do 15 credits next semester. 2 are only available online. I guess the other 2 are on campus. One class conflicts with her work schedule, but she seems to think co-workers will pick up her hours. But she was telling me yesterday how short staffed they are. Existing employees being seasonal, maxed on hours for year, no desire to be permanent, some promoted internally.
DD also gave 60 days notice on her apartment yesterday. She is talking about moving to MKE which is where she applied for the job, and also has asked for a transfer. Does not really want to move home, asked about Grandma’s Duplex/our duplex. More later, in more appropriate thread.

One advantage of the assoc. degree is that it at least solidifies the credits. If something happens and time slips by you at least can go back with a 2 year degree. Otherwise after about 7 years the credits go poof!
Yeah - and ditto to cousin's husband.
Although - going to be honest here - his story is a little shaky imo. You need to apply for graduation early in the semester. How does one not know - you can check online, go to a counselor, etc. My first thought is he failed something, too low GPA in major coursework, or what not.
But I am suspicious like that!

I don't think that is actually the case. Lots of parent's have complained about similar situations at same school. They have instructors acting as counselors and it happens somewhat frequently.
J seems to have been a good student. I think he has just the one course to go, and believe his GPA was not an issue, but that could be - idk. I will probably see him Sunday, so I guess I will mention it.
That is an interesting point about solidifying the credits - I will have her apply for the AS degree I guess.
LOL, DS was vague about when he was graduating - I was petrified he would not finish, the cousin's husband should have graduated the same year from the same school.

I believe you! but someone tell the cousin husband that credit expire. I know someone who got busy with 3 classes left to go, and when they were downsized thought - hey, I'll finish that degree. but it was too late, all credit expired.

I thought only graduate credits expire. There are always stories about football players going back a decade or so later to complete the degree. I doubt that they are starting from scratch. Here is a link to some famous athletes who went back.

Lizard Queen, you're a permanent employee now, right? I'm annoyed on your behalf. I'd ask for a meeting with whomever is your supervisor to ask for clarification. In my sector, no one gets to just decide to work more hours. It's also the supervisor's fault if the supervisor wasn't clear about expectations. Regarding the college stuff. If the AA in question has an option to transfer directly to a public college as a full two years done without question, I'd make sure to go that route. Maybe that only happens in my state/region, but it's a huge time saver. It is however a specific version of an associate's. Also, my DD#1 just applied for graduation that will take place at the end of this spring term. I don't think I applied for graduation until after Winter Term was complete, but it's been so long ago at this point, I could definitely be mistaken about that.

Way back when I was in college you had to fill out paperwork and someone had to manually check your records against requirement. When my kids were in college, just log in and press a button and instantly tells you what classes you need for graduation. Not sure why it takes so long to “apply” for graduation.

Yes, Chloe, I'm a permanent employee, though the part-time/no benefits deal still makes me feel like a temp.
Speaking of temps, it seems to me like the temp got that other employee canned. She's eager to take that job. I wouldn't mind that job and have a lot of the computer qualifications listed, but they already think I suck and that temp is the bee's knees, despite her not having all those programs. She's probably got the most important one, though, from the 2 months she's worked with it. Blah. This whole situation just sucks.
As to the early graduation application, my guess it's so that they can make sure the students are still able to get the courses they need in before they are supposed to graduate. All this information readily available these days, and they still have to hand-hold the millennials.

I have half a mind to fill out an internal app for the principle of it. they might already have their hiree picked out, but I'd like to bring up a career trajectory up for when the guy in one of those roles retires in a few years, at least. The job I have is a dead end that is not helping me get where I want to go.
Thoughts? Am I dumb?

Lizard Queen - You are not nuts. They can't know you want these other opportunities if you don't tell them, and the best way to tell them is to apply for the positions. Who knows, they may really want you for this role, but think you aren't interested for whatever reason. It won't hurt to apply.

I'm in a bit of an awkward situation in my job search. For background, I work for the state. My work bff works at another state agency. She's two levels above me, and the agency she works for is where I'd like to work due to better work/life balance benefits. Three positions came open there, which is unheard of, because no one ever leaves (two people moved out of state, one retiring). These are all under my bff.
I applied for the positions (only two were advertised; I'm probably the only applicant who knows about the third position being open). I'm 100% qualified for two of them that are they same level I'm at now. I'll call them A and B. I don't know how well qualified I am for the third position C, though work bff did tell me I got the highest skills test score among all the applicants. C is at one level above my current one, and the bump in salary in pretty large.
I have an interview for C this Friday. I'm almost positive I'll also get an interview for A and B. So the awkwardness - the burnout rate for C is about 1.5 years. I think even if I'm the most qualified applicant, I'm not REALLY qualified to do the position well. And work bff would know this as we've talked about our jobs a lot. I'm not at all worried about being able to do A and B well, but those are lateral moves, and I really want to move up one level. And most of all, I don't want work bff to feel obligated to hire me, or have things be uncomfortable between us if I don't get any of the positions. And also, if she does hire me for any of them, I don't want it to affect our friendship because she'd now also be my supervisor.
I guess I don't really have a question, I'm just getting stressed about the situation and interviewing with someone I know so well.

flutterby - Your work BFF should not be the only person interviewing you. And she should open the interview by stating, for the record, that you and she are friends. She may have already told the rest of the panel this, but it should be stated as part of the official interview. This makes her relationship with you (and bias) clear. It also means the other people on the team know that they may have to override her.
Two years ago, I hired someone I had known for 15+ years. We weren't super close, but she was one of the first people I met when I moved up here, and we've been part of the same friend group for the whole time. So I've been there. It is very possible to do these interviews and have them go just fine. And to hire/be hired by someone who knows you and it's not a case of bias.
As for job C, of course you're not going to be able to do it perfectly from day 1. It's a new job. It's got new skills you have to learn. Learning curves are fine. No one takes a step up into a job they can already do perfectly. That's not how it works. At the same time, I am confused by our comment about the burnout rate for job C, since you also said jobs never come open in this agency.

I believe there will be three other people besides bff on the panel. Two of those probably know about our friendship already, and yeah, there's no way I'm going to try to get through an interview pretending I don't know bff as well as I do.
As for job C, the guy that had it before was already with that department. Same with the one before him. They like to promote/lateral move from within, hence the lack of openings for outsiders.
I'm just anxious because I really really want to work at this agency, and this may be my only chance anytime soon.

flutterbyYour relationship with work bff would likely change - and it should! - becoming more distant and professional. Is that worth the job to you?

You're right. And for a big bump in salary, more secure future, more money into retirement funds, etc? Yeah, it would be a bummer, but worth it.

Yesterday and today, I went back and re-read the first dozen pages of this thread. Those pages encompass just over 4 months of time, the last 4 months of my 9-month stint of being unemployed. I don't remember 75% of the jobs I talked about applying for in those pages. Some I did remember as I read about them, but most of them might as well have never existed. I remember how happy I was when I got this job, and how happy ya'll were for me. And that part was great to read again. I am also thrilled that my dozen pages of job hunting has turned into a 520-page thread where we've all been able to support each other through various ups and downs. In those first dozen pages, flutterby, Lizard Queen, and empress of self-improvement were all looking for jobs, too. (Empress got the one at Panera.) I have been in this position for just over 5 years. I love my staff and peers in the other departments. I have great faculty and amazing students. 5 years is also the longest I have ever gone in a single position without actively looking for a new position. Normally, I start looking after 3 years. And I honestly hadn't been thinking about looking now, but...
We had a Chair change this summer. My previous Chair, his wife works for the University, but in a staff role. So he had a greater understanding of how the University works as a whole. My new Chair, who is a lovely person, is married to another tenured faculty member, and her entire focus is on what tenured (or tenure-track) faculty want. She also knows that we have a stricter budget going forward, but she still wants to give the tenured faculty everything they want. In order to do that, I am going to have to start cutting professional development for staff, and support funds for our teaching faculty - because it is supposedly unfair that the department dedicates funds to the teaching faculty, who have to teach twice as many classes, who don't have a guaranteed forever job (they are contract workers on 3 year contracts), don't have guaranteed promotion timelines, and aren't given time or support to research/write grants/raise their own gift funds. No matter how she tries to look at things, she is incapable of looking at them from outside what she wants as a tenured faculty member. And one of the things I truly have loved about this department over the last five years is that we have supported all of our employees -tenured faculty, teaching faculty, research scientists, and staff -and our students. And now, it seems the focus will be on tenured faculty, followed by Ph.D. students, and everyone else can fight over the scraps. And while that may be typical in many departments, it isn't the culture I was hired into; it isn't the culture I have built with my staff, and it's not a culture I want to be part of.
So, I have started to low-key look for a new job. I've applied for 3 jobs and set my LinkedIn profile for recruiters to be able to know I'm looking. I've also posted my resume on Indeed and Glassdoor. One of the positions I've already heard back that I am not in the running. I am not certain I want to apply for other University positions at this point because I don't really want to share with many people that I am looking. So I have also not really started tapping into my network.
This time around, I am lucky that I have a job. I have a job I mostly like, with staff I truly care about. Leaving them will be the hardest part of this. So I am focusing on jobs that I really want. The title I want, the pay I want, perhaps even a better commute. I am avoiding the really big players like Amazon and Microsoft for now, though a lot of that is because of how connected my current department is to those organizations. Microsoft, on some level, would be great, as they are a super short commute. If I see something perfect there, I might apply.

Good luck shanendoah! Thank you for being an advocate for all the employees, and for all your advice over the years. It's a relief to finally have a job, even if it's not the one I've dreamed about.
I just finished a video interview for a job 15 minutes from home. I also applied for that internal job, though they're hanging on to the temp, giving her data entry work for a different department in the interim. That job used to split time between general accounting, and what I do now, so I still think I have a chance. (What I do is so proprietary, there is extremely little chance anyone else will apply with those skills, which were listed under their preferred qualifications. It took me a good 7 months to get where I'm at in mastery, and I'm only halfway there.) Although, they think the temp walks on water, for some reason. Granted, I am not privy to all she's done, but one thing that I overheard makes me seriously question her understanding of accounting. But, she's a nice person, and lives right in that town, so there is that.

I've got another interview for a job. Also, 15 minutes from home, but the pay isn't great. Never heard a word from my supervisor about the internal position. Temp is getting tested. (I don't think she did all that well. I got the highest score you can on it.) This place is terrible with communication. I have to leave just on the principle of that. How rude is it to not even acknowledge my app.

Lizard Queen I think you're becoming increasingly unhappy at this workplace. If the job close to home is interesting then maybe you should consider taking it even if the pay isn't that great. The better commute and easier life may be a good payoff.

I went back to the beginning of this thread to see what I was applying for when I first started posting here. I don't remember any of those jobs I was applying for except the one I actually got. That was just over five years ago. I had just gotten divorced, was going back to school to finish my degree, had been a SAHM and out of the workforce for the previous 18 years or so, and was trying to get my boys' lives back on track after the divorce. Not stressful at all lol! And looking back now, I made a couple mistakes jobwise, but overall, I've done a pretty dang good job of getting myself to where I am now.
As for yesterday's interview with the work bff and her team - it went pretty well. One question I completely blanked out on. Like literally could not think of an answer to save my life. They kindly let me come back to that one at the end. The other two open positions won't start interviews for a week or two, which is a bummer, because I was hoping I could use one interview for all three positions. Assuming I even get an interview for the other two of course.
The job I interviewed for yesterday sounds meh. The pay is really the big selling point. One of the two other open positions is the one I really want, so if I don't get this one, I won't be too disappointed.

Lizard Queen, I agree their lack of acknowledgement is rude. I've been at jobs where management seems to favor one person (or shit list another) seemingly for no good reason. That's not the kind of place you want to be. Even if you did get this internal job, they don't appreciate you now, they're not going to suddenly appreciate and treat you better in the future. I say look elsewhere!

Sent my resume to some friends for review this week. Need to make a few more changes. Let the one coworker I'm friends on FB with know that I am going to start looking, so that I don't have to hide it there, especially since there are a couple of people I mostly communicate with through FB that I would like to have look over my resume.
