Why to explain?

They don't even want to understand that much details. Works in IT is enough for them.

You don't have to.

Do you mean describe what you do at work? Just recite to them your job responsibilities. If there are lots of technical terms they do not understand, then maybe they will stop asking questions lol

I dont. Cause they don’t care. They only care about why I earn so less🥹🫠🤣🤣

I am a PIO at a state agency and I’ve been thinking about applying to the FEMA reservist. Does anyone have experience with doing this while also being employed for a state agency? Is that a normal route to take or is there another way to gain more experience with disaster/crisis communications?

Any insight appreciated!

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick
