    Stop acting like I’m worthless with low self-esteem. I don’t know why I present myself that way. I’m a valuable competent skilled employee who passes background checks squeaky clean. Someone smack me and tell me to present myself as I deserve.

    I even declined the hiring bonus because I felt unworthy of it although I meet all the criteria for it 🤦‍♀️ But really what I did was tell my managers that I’d rather be given the hiring bonus after I’ve been there a year because I’ve heard that some companies have a stipulation in the contract of hiring bonuses that should anything happen within the first year of my employment that causes me to stop working there, I would have to repay the bonus, so I kept it in mind that if I ever got a job that promised a hiring bonus, I would discuss it with the manager to have the bonus given to me at the end of a year. well I told my managers this and they told me I would have to talk to a higher up manager about it and they told me her name but I forgot, and they didn’t even look me in the eye when they said this and I just kind of never followed up on it.

      Instead of hearing about the bonus maybe being pulled back… just read the contract?
      And even if you would have to give it back… just park it until its free to use (assuming you dont actually need it)

    You’re starting now (not going back to the past).

    This makes it a bit more difficult since I designed most of the architecture at my work. It would take a lot of work to be taken seriously again and not have my opinion being discarded because I’m the newcomer.

    I would have to prove myself all over again though, not something I’d look forward to.

      In that case, if you could keep your reputation would that change your answer?

    I got put in a project that people overpromised and I’m getting shafted by the fact that the client wants way more than I think they’re paying for, so it’s certainly running late. I’d ask a couple months in for a bit more help.

    I would do it all over again but I would do the bare minimum. I would do what my job duties entailed in my contract and never give any extra.

    Is it possible to have two cell numbers on one phone?

    I’d give out my burner number if anyone outside of HR asked for my contact info.

      Yep, dual sim is a thing. However, my employer wants full control of the phone so they provided an iPhone. (I’m an Android user) The biggest pro of 2 phones is that you can silence the work phone outside work hours.

      With my 1st temp job ('99) I told my boss that the best feature on the work phone the power button was. The moment I left the building it would be turned off. Alas, those modern phones have a complete sequence to go trough to get them off, so I now use the automated do not desturb. Alas, iPhone has only times you can set daily, instead weekday dependent times. Between 18:00 and 7:00 the thing is quiet, no exceptions.

          Yep, when they have control overthe phone, yep. This iPhone tells me it’s managed by my organisation so they can do what they want with it, including looking up the location of the device.

            Thank you for confirming. If I have to get a work phone in the future, I’ll get a separate device.

    Not have any expectations about excelling in my career, nor any expectations about having support in serving the public, although that is entirely what we do.
