OFFICE POLITICS..why on earth is it so important??? & How is it that it's more important then the actual job??? *Deep eye roll* so I was recently let go from a dream Position. I got a sneaky suspicion that it's in part bc I, didn't attend the group party/dinner the reason I think that is bc this is not the first time but the second. had a similar experience with another company where they used a different excuse to "let me go" but my gut told me it was bc I wasn't attending the office events

I mean, I think some office politics is there but I dunno if not attending a group party/dinner would be enough of a reason to let anyone go… maybe it was more like someone didn’t like you? Can’t please everyone but you have to watch out for those backstabbers.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

I had quite the day the other day. Coustmer comes in and then ends up leaving with a grossed out look on his face just for him to put in a complaint about my appearance...he down right called me some nasty things for no reason.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
