Meetings. Some times I feel like management reviews our calendars, see open days and just can't have so schedules a meeting. Very rarely do I attend a meeting that couldn't be an email.

Meetings that could be taken care of in an email. Multiple emails back and forth on a single topic that could have be answer in a 5 minutes phone call.

I've started responding to meeting invites with emails. I'd say 50% get cancelled and the other 50% are far more constructive as it gets the background out of the way

Computer training modules, seem to be the same things 2 to 5 times a year.

I have to waste time learning about emergency evacuation when I have never set foot in an office. Fully remote.

back end processing; billing calls and taking payments; click, drag and 'name the attachment' (manual steps that should be automated), constantly getting pushback from 'team' players; office drama

Damon as a character vs. Jamie Lannister? They seem like somewhat analogous characters from the two shows. I feel like a lot of people want Damon to have a similar redemptive arc, but it doesn’t seem likely.

My thoughts are he’s just a generally bad person with some decent qualities. Jamie meanwhile was a generally good person who did many terrible things, especially when we met him.

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour. I technically can make bonuses but I’m not supposed to dig into a sale and I have to send it to a sales rep (I am service and retention mostly). My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?
