Sometimes there are people that always do favors for their bosses. I know there were people that would take on extra projects, just to possibly be promoted or viewed more favorably. Have you done extra "favors" at work and would you offer this to pull ahead in the job application process?

I've always gotten bored in new positions pretty quickly so I ask for stretch assignments often. I do it not to look good (although it doesn't hurt strengthening others' perceptions of me) but because I hate being bored and I work my best when learning.

Not really, I don't seek to impress the management. I just do what is required of me.

One of my top talents just put in his two weeks notice and I had nothing to offer him to stay. I told upper management this was going to happen!

I still believe i work at a good place but i feel like we’re losing focus. I feel my boss is leaving soon. It’s a mess.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

Additional Posts in Unemployed

Really hoping to avoid judgment on this post. Has anyone had to sign up for government or state assistance after becoming unemployed? Was the process difficult?

How do you keep up/in touch with your network?

If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?
