What's the strangest thing you've seen at work?
Commercial airline pilots have been reporting many UFO sightings during their flights over Canada. Which got me thinking, what's the strangest thing I've ever seen at work? Which so far has to be when I was an usher in a movie theater and the customer asked for a container of nothing but semi-popped kernels to eat during the movie. Which I had to explain were at the bottom of this crumb drawer which hadn't been cleaned for a week. They didn't care and were happy to pay for this movie snack. Not quite an UFO but clearly an alien right?

Why can’t employers in hospitality find workers?
This Sonic has decided to update their help wanted by branding their biweekly pay checks as stimulus checks. Why do you think employers are having a hard time filling their open positions? #jobsearch
I feel that people who serve others food should get paid just like a person who works on a car or truck. Pay a just and fair wage and then you can get the best results. You can then choose the best canadates for each position. I have a thing called the triangle. Being a manager once at a Sonic's it creates positive vibes and speeds production for less money. What you were to pay these people a fair wage.
What's the biggest challenge of a Director job?
It's often times the first role when you are now leading leaders or managing Managers. Helping a people leader grow and mature involves more focus on their people skills, EQ and mentorship and less on the technical aspects of their job. It's also a more strategic role which involves a shift in focus from day to day to longer term.
Called out sick for 15 years?!?!
Came across this story which blew my mind, a public employee in Italy has apparently called out sick for the last 15 year and was still getting paid each and every month!
You read that right, this guy called out sick for 15 years and was still on the payroll until now. Have you ever worked at a place that had lax time management? I just remember managers that would watch the time clock like a hawk and try to penalize me if I was 3 mins late or leaving 2 mins early.
@Patricia Jackson it doesn't take much to get hired at the Dollar Tree. We've got an entire area dedicated to what it's like working at Dollar Tree. It includes information on popular positions, how to apply for a job there and what the employee benefits are like.

What do YOU think is a reasonable minimum wage?
A few Philly restaurants are hiking their minimum wage to $15/hour, even though the rest of the city and state are not. Some folks say it's the difference between a job and career. What do you think the minimum wage should be?
$20
@freddy Saraceno what type of jobs are you interested in applying for? Unfortunately, you're underage for a lot of the jobs that are available. I know that McDonald's does hire starting at 14. Other fast food places might also hire starting at your age. Good luck!
On time correct load
Have you ever worked a retail job?
I've chatted with a lot of people who have worked at Target, Home Goods, and similar companies about their work experience. Most of them expressed their love for working in retail! They enjoy the intimate customer interaction, flexible scheduling options, and the ability to develop career-boosting transferable skills.
What are your thoughts? Do you enjoy working in #retail?
