I'm planning on telling my manager tomorrow that I'm resigning this week. Wednesday would be my last day. Don't have another job lined up but fukk it. I'll get on my grind and get one. Half of me wants to take the next two months off, half of me wants to just get on my grind and look for work or work on myself. I'm just sick of doing the retail thing and it's gotten me nowhere. I've been working there for 13 years and I should've left a long time ago. If I keep delaying things, I'll just get more stressed and make things worse. I would like something with better hours also because I work from about 5 to 1230, five times a week, including weekends. I've gotten used to that schedule but it's not worth it. And I seem to be the only one getting that schedule every week. I'm getting nowhere in life and I think I should go explore other options before it's too late. I've been too stressed out.
How did the resignation go? Sounds like you need to take a week or two off and decompress before you think about the future. When you do look down the road, do you have a plan to get any certs during your time off before you re-enter the workforce down the road?

Plan on leaving on Wednesday. I could use some decompressing. Been too much stress with my boss and I let it go on longer than it should. I would like to get some certs. Been trying to learn just python and a bit of html right now so hopefully I'll be able to learn those. I did get some great news today hopefully. Got called by a recruiter that Aetna insurance company was looking to hire for two positions. Both mainly handling calls from patients and providers regarding authorizations on their medications. And since I have a pharmacy technician license and have experience in that department I'm qualified. Plus I'm bilingual so that's a plus. Lady said it's a six week training and a contract but no expiration date so it can just go on. She asks me how much I make and I said 13.36. She asked how much I would be willing to make and I said I can settle for $13 an hour. She said the job pays $15. I was like :leon:. Just finished filling out my references not long ago. Office setting I believe Monday to Friday. One of the jobs open until 11 but I usually work until 1230 at night anyways so I'm used to it. But it's also no stocking shelves or dealing with customers. Plus I can get weekends off and for more pay? I'll be :win: if I get this job.

Got interview scheduled for next Friday at 1:30. So I'm gonna enjoy this week long vacation as much as possible and be focused when I get back. Considering sending an email to the higher ups about my managers behaviour and recent actions. Apparently his review didn't go that well today and he's gonna be even more upset when he finds out tomorrow that I actually left. I really don't give a damn since I'm leaving but I've been here for 13 years so I can't just leave my co-workers to keep suffering. I heard that today he yelled at the girls from the pharmacy department because one of them sent an email asking for a shift covered and that's not allowed anymore since August. Nobody knew that. His failure to communicate company policies and then yell at his employees when his superiors reprimand him show the type of character that he has. I've never been happier to leave. Hopefully they get rid of him so everyone else won't keep suffering.

Does anyone know how long a top clearance lasts? Does it conclude with the position or can you float with it for a few months ~ year following?

Are there ANY you can get on your own without sponsorship? I keep reading no.

damn, finding it hard to land interviews :mjcry: :hhh: Mechanical Engineering undergrad, Network Engineering back ground(due to work), cloud certified(not much experience) and CISSP certified (not much experience). I think my resume is impressive but for the good jods I'd have to compete with people from Georgia Tech and UGA which I am sure gets first dibs on jobs. I am going to start applying in other cities than make my way back down to ATL in a year or two max:francis:.

Your boy done came up. :wow::blessed::lawd::banderas:


Left a $13.36 an hour job at Walgreens where I was working mostly nights from 4 or 5 to 12:15 or so at night. Working weekends and holidays. Dealing with a manager that stressed me out and I was getting nowhere with. Quit my job on Wednesday the 18th. Went on a week long vacation to Orlando to celebrate my resignation. Came back and went to a job interview with Aetna on Friday the 27th. Today November 1st 2017, I get a call from the recruiter that Aetna is OFFERING ME A JOB!! $16 an hour, weekends and holidays off!! I feel like I done hit the work lotto. It's a lot of information to process and learn but I feel confident that I can do it. It's a bit farther away. Maybe double the distance the opposite direction but maybe twenty minutes minimum so not bad. Still excited that I done came up. Your boy :win:
