Best response is “living the dream”

I've heard a sigh so pregnant that it's about to deliver, then followed by "I'm good" (phrased more as a question than statement). That's when you know life sucks and you can't talk about it.

I usually respond with hanging in there during busy season.

I normally say “ hanging in there “ that way they know I’m swamped while trying to stay positive

Every single call I have with my one manager starts with. “Hey how’s it going?” Genuinely pisses me tf off because I know they do not care at all for the answer. I prefer they just say hello tbh 😂

Right. Because all that determines them being nice or not is them asking “how’s it going”. I’m being sarcastic if you couldn’t tell 🙃

If you’re from NY you know the phrase is just another way of saying hey or what’s up and no one actually wants you to answer the question lol. So the simple response is good.

How you doooin? (Joey voice)

How would you handle this logistics of this meeting? (Timing - after the offer but with time before you start? How to phrase the reason why?)

Thanks! 🔅☺️

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.
