How are your reviews not looking favorable? Were you not asking for informal feedback?

^did u have your cpa?

Have the tests passed, just need to do ethics exam EY 3

Yeah I don’t have my cpa either so options are somewhat limited.

Talk to head hunters. They will shove opportunities down your throat

Companies using headhunters aren’t keen to paying those fees for a Staff 2 is what I’ve garnered. @EY3

I fought my way hard to get released from the project. However my designation is changed as Analyst. Should I ask for change in designation as I know that analyst is non-technical profile? Would my designation impact my future role as well?

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP.
