I’ve been working on a short-term assignment that’s ending soon, and I’ll also be going on my 12-month maternity leave. Since my contract ends while I’m on leave, I honestly didn’t expect the company to bring me back to the same position. But today, a senior manager came to me and asked me to sign a contract renewal. What really made my day was when he said, “We’d love to have you back.” 😊

What’s the last great thing you’ve heard from your company?

That is great news, and wonderful to hear! Last month, I was recognized for my contributions. Recently stepped into a leadership position, and I’ve been very nervous, but that little conversation was huge for me.

Right? It really makes a difference and you feel valued at workplace. It feels like you are being recognized for you efforts.

Love this. It's rare to feel genuinely valued by your employer. I can't remember the last time I heard anything that good from mine, so I'm a little jealous 😂

You are right. It is not very common among companies to give credit to their employees. I have worked at places where nobody cared how much efforts you put.

Congratulations on the great news. Nothing like renewing your contract before you go on leave. At least you have a job to come back to. We got a 5% raise and one more week of PTO. We did an amazing job last year with our sales and keeping our credit lost down.

That is not bad. 5% raise and more extra week of PTO is definitely something I would say. And yes I am glad I would have same position when I come back.

That’s amazing! Congratulations on your little blessing and keeping you job.

Thank you very much. It really felt good.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
