I've been looking for work for 5 months and have only had one interview:
I realy have no idea what to do anymore, my only job requirements are
1. no retail/front facing roles
2. not work nights
You'd think "wow, that's all?" yes.... I'm simple to please, at this point I don't want a relationship with my co-worker, I just want to survive. Clock in, Clock out just leave me alone and no, I don't care how you view my "performance" I just want to work with my head down and a smile on my face.

What kinds of roles have you been applying to? Do you have friends or former colleagues to reach out to about your job hunt? Letting people know you're looking can open a lot of doors, and you're more likely to get an interview if you have someone passing your name along

The thing is, customer-facing roles are constantly open and hiring. Retailers struggle with an insurmountable level of overworked staff with understaffed stores because what you want is exactly the same thing that everyone else wants. We all do. Most stores are just SOS fulfillment centers in disguise. Metric demands are unrealistic and pay doesn’t equate to the level of multifaceted abilities we are required to have. Oh, and those coworkers you don’t want to engage with? God forbid you don’t interact with them on the company platforms they’ve invested so much money into for optics. Hey, we didn’t ask for it, but the blame is on us if we don’t “like, comment, post” so corporate can say they got their money’s worth, right? Everyone is fed up and wants out. You’re up against a staggering amount of competition. So objectively, it’s not a heavy handed ask, but then the reality is that what you’re asking for is basically a Tickle Me Elmo in 1996 and you’re late to the launch. 🫠 😅

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets.

But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

Offer from AMZN @ 160 TC, just got promo @ D to M, comp statements don't come out until first week in June. Would probably stay if comp came in equal or slightly above. What are the chances?

Was hoping AMZN would be higher but they pegged the role a lvl lower than originally discussed during the process...so here we are.

Not sure if I should play my hand and push for more to stay or if they will just say "wait 5 weeks or here is the door"
