Over the road

Most dispatchers don't like most of their drivers and try too make them look bad with that said if you want to find out if its true watch how they talk about over drivers when you are in dispatch cuz if they talk shit about those driver then their talking shit about you they play games with our jobs if they can make a driver look bad they look good they screw up loads too make us look bad the most dispatchers don't want us to run the way we want to ride they want us to run the way they want us to run that's not how Trucking works

Too much anxiety

I quit because I could not get over the nervousness and insecurity I felt after 2 1/2 months on the job.

Team work makes the Dream work

I’ve been a seasonal fulfillment associate at Amazon for about two months now. So far so good, Everyone goes out of their way to help and encourage each other.

On the first day, I thought to myself, what did I get myself in to? It was quite overwhelming, but by the end of day 2 of my shift, I realize I was creating a second family. The energy, motivation, and determination to get the job done helped me to push through the hours. Even though it’s seasonal, now I’m thinking I might want to transition into part-time. It’s interesting that what was once, just a job to make extra cash is now what I look forward to in my daily work life.

Self-worth vs Organizational value

You should love you some you as that relationship is the foundation for any other personal or professional encounters you’ll have in life. Another way to describe it would be self-esteem and how much a person values themselves. It’s important that you hold yourself in high regard and do things that complement your physical and mental well-being.

Organizational value or the benefit provided to the organization can be subjective, objective, or more often a combination of the two pending on the observer and the metrics used.

Self-worth and Organizational value are mutually exclusive and quite often poorly defined creating ineffective communication between employers and employees and resulting unrealistic expectations.

As a job seeker or an employee, you have to constantly be mindful of your objective value to the organization since that will provide you the best indicator of your chances of landing a job or what your future with the company might be. Understanding objective significance is essential to career planning because it should influence a person’s approach to their professional development.

How to assess where you stand: As a job seeker the job posting defines what the organization considers important so If you just meet the minimum requirements then its likely that individual will not be selected because other candidates meet and exceed the minimum standard. Additionally, one’s experience can be a benefit “IF” that experience can be directly assimilated into the organizations success. Having years of experience as a supervisor doesn’t mean you would be a good supervisor in another organization.

An employee should be vigilant of what supervisors consider valuable and what the organization seeks from its workforce. Find out what the succession plan for the job you hold is and what is expected of the position sought. That information lays out what needs to be done to meet minimum requirements of the next position as well as provides an objective argument as to why the employee is a good fit for the position based on recorded factual information.

A common theme in posts are people describing themselves as experienced and able to work circles around others which may be true but unless it can be articulated adequately on paper through factual information that can be validated it’s a subjective depiction of the persons organizational value.

The point: Recognize the difference between self-worth and organizational value. Just being a good worker doesn’t always equate to being a valued asset to the organization if the expectation is that you are able to do numerous things but you’re an expert at one. Trimming the fat for organizations often means doing more with less which requires multi-talented workforces where employees have the skill and versatility to support different areas simultaneously.

Good luck

What I loved working at #MarjoriePLee was

MPL was a wonderful experience. I worked my way from floor nurse to charge nurse to supervisor of a 340 bed facility. I was given the opportunity to care for clients with a wide range of challenges. I was given the chance to be a part of management and assist in partnering with hospitals improve the outcome of cardiac and rehab clients.

Worked at a few pizza places

So i’ve worked at both Domino’s and Papa John’s as a driver and crew.. There really isn’t much of a difference at all in them. Similar cultures since it basically just boils down to what kind of manager you have. Since we all liked each other at Papa John’s we sorta fell into a team rhythm which helped us just bust out tons of pizza’s quickly. It really just depnds on your coworkers at places like these

Working on a cruise ship

Working on a Disney cruise ship was definitely HARD but good. Ship life is not for everyone. You get to travel to many different places depending on what ship you are on, get to meet and make friends from all over the world. It is a lot of hard work and you don’t get days off while on board but your room and board are paid for at least.
