So grateful to be one of the people who actually has a job in this terrible time where unemployment filings are only on the rise. 44K filings! That's as bad, if not worse, than COVID. How's everyone else doing?

I've been so caught up thinking about how this job I have isn't fulfilling and isn't paying me enough. But this post reminds me that I have so much to be thankful for. It's a tough time and this job, whether I like it or not, helps me get by. I'm grateful. Thanks, OP for some positivity this afternoon - I needed it.

I am right there with you. I have been looking for a new job for over six months and can't seem to find anything. But I am grateful to have a job while I am looking when there are so many people who are being laid off.

This gets me thinking that we need to really rethink work in America (for many reasons). But when your career is your life, it’s so much harder to separate these things and have that grateful POV of the original poster. It always hits me when I go to other countries how backwards we get it

Echoing the sentiment! As bad as things are, I am grateful to have a job. It’s brutal out there, and I really hope this is a wake up call to improve work in this country

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

What would you do?
My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.
