it's looking really bad at the moment but am trying to be optimistic...maybe it'll be a learning opportunity!

It's worse than I expected it to be. The layoffs and the shortage of employees made it twice as worse. I hope the situation changes soon because I can see that everyone is exhausted already.

Not as bad as I expected it to be. I am not complaining though. At least I am not as stressed.

Really bad! Probably the busiest I have been for a while. But we'll push through.

So far looking like 40 hours a week

It's crazy. Like super crazy. Most of us stayed up late. It was really the worst.

Hello! Will be receiving a $400 stipend from my new org for office setup. I currently have a 15” 2015 Pro, my husband has a Lenovo, I’ll be provided with a work laptop, we have a used office desk.

Any recommendations on what I should use the stipend for? Hubby was suggesting a printer because we don’t currently have one, but I feel like I don’t really print that much anymore and I’ll be working remotely.

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour. I technically can make bonuses but I’m not supposed to dig into a sale and I have to send it to a sales rep (I am service and retention mostly). My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
