Has anyone realised retail higher ups are getting worse at managing staff? Been in retail for almost a decade, and just moved to a new job. They said that I'd have to do some training this week before fully starting, and they asked for my availability. No response after that. So, I messaged them again, asking whether I just come in since my shifts haven't been assigned to me yet (I'm a casual). No response again. So what do I just do, walk in and hope they start training me?

Yep I have noticed this as well. I think communication is always worse during the holidays though. However, you are right, manager are not managing these days.

I personally hate bad communication with people in management. It’s no excuse for poor communication skills on that level. They may be slow at communicating with you due to the holiday season. But I would definitely bring up my concerns to them.

Yup, feels like management keeps getting worse at communicating. I’d say maybe give them one more day, but if no word, just show up at your usual start time and ask..better than sitting around waiting!

Honestly they are ghosting you. Continue looking for work. Unless you did orientation and submitted i9 then yes reach out by all means to all the channels

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?
