No doubt some could pull this off in the right situation, but for most this would be virtually impossible for any significant length of time.
With a majority of industry professionals on LinkedIn these days, how could this work? You would have to work in 2 fields with no overlap. Forget about it if you're too senior. Companies love to toot their own when they hire a shiny new senior employee.
i feel for your brehs having so many meetings. i find many of my meetings are unnecessary though and just there to check boxes. i guess i've been spoiled as i'm not used to making so many talking points, ppt, and meeting reports. i have missed a few assignments because i've been buried in doing stupid reports and follow ups. glad we recently hired a staff for me so we can split the meetings or else i'd have more. my organization has these stupid events, symposiums, webinars as milestones which is stupid. makes absolutely no difference and just more reasons for bosses to yell at me.
I am pretty sure "place of employment" does not show up on background checks. Also, what? I've never heard of HR conducting random background checks on employees... Are you working for a fascist regime?
To be fair, newspapers are almost to the point of paying people to read their archaic medium. I can get the Houston Chronicle for less than a buck a week now. Some companies require you to divulge other employment to eliminate conflict of interest. If they catch you working during your specified business hours it's easy grounds for dismissal. For example, I worked with a director who also moonlighted as a real estate agent. It turned out that she was doing it during regular business hours. She was dumb enough to post about closings on Facebook and got busted then fired. Same ****, different day. If you want to keep a secret, don't post about it on social media. (or just don't talk about it, period).
I just learned there's a service called Goodhire that can do exactly that. After you agree, they do periodic pings against your record. I wonder how much a company pays to do that, but it's there. I'm mixed on this as what exactly is "business hours" for a salaried employee? She shouldn't have blabbed about her mad money, and I guess it's harder to quantify director work.
I'm writing my resignation letter for a job I've had for just short of 10 years. It feels like the end of high school
I actually had a meeting this morning with 2 items on the agenda: discuss meeting we had last week discuss meeting we have coming up this afternoon You know the meeting culture is bad when you have meetings to discuss meetings. Worst part was that it was a 'camera meeting' (you had to use video instead of just audio) so I actually had to get out of bed and take a shower before 9 a.m. WTF??
I hope so (it being decent). It's more than twice my current pay, but I'm currently a state employee so that's not saying much haha. Going private sector.
Thanks! It will be weird not subsisting on Taco Bell. Ah hell who am I kidding, I’m still going to be eating Taco Bell 5x a week.
Ah, but is the newspaper actually made of paper? I remember when Houston had 3 dailies, one morning paper, the Post, and two afternoon papers, the Press and the Chronicle. My parents took the Post and the Press, the Chronicle, at the time (and for decades), considered a conservative, Republican paper. In 1964, the Press was sold to it's afternoon rival, the Chronicle, and ceased publication. Up until that time, it hadn't missed a daily issue since it was founded in 1911. My parents stuck with the Post and did without an afternoon rag. Until the demise of the Press, Houston was the only remaining city west of the Mississippi supporting 3 daily newspapers. Your factoid for the day. ;-)
