If she is semi hot, she can work in the state of Nevada and make six figures a year only working three months.
OT: jobs for women

- Start date
Basic computer skills? Word/Excel/Outlook? If she is most likely to land in an administrative role, some temp staff companies do temp to hire and that can work out nicely. If she does not have skills and is near a Costco, they pay pretty well and some employees have made bank off of Costco stock. Not sure if they have an employee purchase program or some kind of stock options they offer, but I suspect the former.

I feel like some of that increase is covid related. They all lost out when covid came through and closed everything down, especially them. Price went up, and didnt come back down.
She must have gotten a bad attorney during her divorce if she is having to work after it after being a stay at home wife during the marriage.
Mutt the Hoople would've been invaluable to this thread.
And people wonder why they can’t make more money.
if you can’t show up to work on time and be present 94% of the time or more, you don’t deserve more money.
I use 94% bc that allows for about 15 late clock ins or absences per year.
I worked for a company once that had a 20 point system. 1 point for 5 mins or more late to 30. 2 points for 31 or more mins late or just being absent. If you worked for 20 days in a row without incident, 2 points came off.
so you could miss 12 days a year and basically have 0 points.
we fired multiple people each year bc they got to 20 points.
We will have to be done eventually... must be done immediately. Or something like that. I've found it better to get rid of her now, since you know it's coming at some point.
Hah...we had similar. There were notorious folks that would have points drop off and the following day, they'd put them back on. Just do the bare minumum.
I mean thats sad but the worst part are the people who get fired in a system like this.
This.
An employee of mine has started an OF page to make additional dollars.
She has been doing it almost a year and is currently netting about $700 a week.
I would ask her OF page, but I'm assuming you don't know or with 'phd' in your name are smart enough not to answer**
Smart enough to not publish. **
She and I talk about the business aspect of what she is doing but it’s her job to do “marketing.”
To her credit, she approached me before doing to be sure it wouldn’t jeopardize her job.
I have been fascinated to the extent which she treats it as a business and approaches all facets professionally.
Sex worker mentoring could be a growth industry
As someone who oversees hiring for my current company, A challenge I see coming is dealing with people's career choices from the past or side hustles. I currently have some of our team do internet background checks, but it is hard to find good people to work. If they have an fascinating past, who am I to judge? Now, my wife might not let it happen. Ha
In the service industry I've long said that if you care about your work, you are ahead of about 85% of the others and if you care and are competent, you are in an elite class. Finding people who exemplify that is challenging.
I came home from school when I was about 10 and told my dad that the lesson for the day at school was "don't judge a book by its cover". He told me that I had better be able to judge one by its cover or I would get 17'd over my entire life. Kind of applies to your situation IMO. Obviously people change and mistakes are made, but the best way to determine future behavior is by looking at past behavior in most cases. (in my experience).
Which is why listening to people whine about minimum wage is infuriating.
if you’ve been in the service industry for 2 years or longer and making less than $11/hr, it’s bc you can’t show up to work on time and do the simple things.
I still think "starting wage" is a better term. I recall someone very successful once saying that "People want to do what I do, but they don't want to do what I did." Other than people who simply don't have the capacity that many of us are blessed with, I think that statement often carries a lot of weight.
No joke. I have a lady here that called in today with the flu. For the 4th time this year.
Time to have an uncomfortable conversation.
It never gets easy to look them in the eye but I have gotten to where i don't feel bad when people fire themselves.
Oh, it's not uncomfortable to me. It's a two minute conversation between my 10 am meeting and lunch. "We're letting you go today. Chris is going to stay with you while you clean out your cube - you can return your laptop and badge to him. If you have additional questions, talk to HR. Best of luck."
I agree they can, but why don't they? I mean in general. You don't see many female roofers, brick layers, etc.
Indeed. She actually resigned this week after only a few months. She moved across the country for this job then quit to work for another company that she is going to work remotely for that is in California.
Ask her how long 10" is and then rethink if she can do construction work.
