People will notice if you really care and people will thank you in kind. Until there's a reason to just loving hip check you out out the door. Girl who ran the front desk at my business got unexplained sudden firing. Best guess is the management found a volunteer willing to do most of her job for free (we're kind of half a state park) and they took the first incredibly minor non fuckup as a reason to not get sued over it and save 12 bux an hour or whatever incredibly onerous salary she was pulling down Best actual non retarded advice is work hard and you might get lucky but you only ever really get ahead by never stopping the job search. You get way more mileage out of overselling yourself and scrambling to cover than you do out of doing an exceptional job and asking for a raise like a civilized person.

If you're passably decent at math certain areas of the country also have an electrician shortage and they will literally pay to train you and if you pass you get a guaranteed gig. Still a scam but a scam you can leverage into work somewhere that isnt poo poo

Kang Wang posted:You seem to say money is the problem but I hope if you are still working there money isn't the reason they fire people because if things get bad especially, easily seen to happen if you work for the government, you'll start seeing some of your friends disappearing. That's half of it, the other half is the director is friends with the immediate replacement. This isn't really "government work", just a business that operates on state owned land and enjoys certain tax breaks, as someone who's worked for the USPS. I honestly prefer the paperwork idiot maze of the bureaucracy than the flagrant nepotism and ego-driven decision making of the private sector

canpakes posted:This sounds completely fake or like something Hillary will ruin. The catch is they pay you far less than an electrician would normally be worth and you probably have to sign a noncompete or something. Work two years, get some experience, then just gently caress off to some other part of the country without telling them where, idk
