I've worked on a salary+comission basis before and did well. It'll actually be selling wedding gowns which I did for two years before I got married. It'll be considerably more stable which I think I need right now, and there may be the potential to do some assistant manager-ish stuff soon. Even though I don't like the idea of working every Saturday, Hubs would be willing to shift his schedule so that he works Saturdays too, giving us a little more time together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-6429 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:33:02 +0000 PBandBaseball 6429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on the multiple offers! I know that I wouldn't be comfortable with a commission but you may be. I agree with Mr. Bee that going with your gut is probably the best thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-6427 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:23:37 +0000 mrbee 6427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For complex decisions, I usually start off with my gut sense and try to figure out why I prefer it. Once I can explain why I like an option better, I'm usually in a better place to determine which option to go with!</p> <p>Do you have a gut sense for which option would be most workable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-6424 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:15:10 +0000 MaisyMay 6424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Things changed this week! I interviewed two positions, one in merchandising and one at a new bridal salon (experienced at both). And they both want me! This is the boost that I needed, but now I need to decide how to handle this. One is for part-time for a few weeks and then full-time while the other is willing to give me full-time. One would require driving 5 miles one day, up to 50 another. The other is 25 miles away. One pays great hourly. The other is less, but offers generous comission. One would require me to work at least one weekend a month. The othe would have me work Saturdays but would give me most Sundays off. I am so torn on what to do! Any advice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4866 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 12:13:44 +0000 bakingAbug 4866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maisymay I am so sorry to hear about your job. That is really crappy to eliminate someone and not tell them. I'll pray you find something soon. I was in the same kind of predicament when we originally wanted to TTC so I know how stressful it can be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4852 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:47:30 +0000 sandsandmore 4852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh geez, I"m really sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4849 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:45:42 +0000 MaisyMay 4849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4753 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 07:05:47 +0000 mediagirl 4753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh @maisymay, I'm so sorry. That's a horrible way to be laid off. I'm glad to hear that you have something at least part time now. I have a couple of other friends looking right now and there are jobs out there, there are just a lot of applicants. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you find something permanent soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4747 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 06:05:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 4747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so sorry! that's a really horrible way to hear about it. hope you're able to find something even better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4736 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:45:55 +0000 SAHM0811 4736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sorry to heat this... hope you find something soon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4730 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:26:17 +0000 MaisyMay 4730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero - Yeah, As much as I've adored my boss, I can't say that I like her much right now. She definitely lacked professionalism on this one. I had to email her boss before I heard back from her. I wonder how long it would have taken to hear anything if I hadn't gotten ahold of her boss... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4728 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:19:30 +0000 tequiero21 4728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, seems pretty unprofessional that they didn't let you know and you had to find out the way you did. good luck with the job search! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4635 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 20:21:04 +0000 singingbee 4635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! That's awful that they didn't let you know right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4619 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:58:13 +0000 MaisyMay 4619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks. I'm glad that I have something, even so small, right now, but if we want to TTC, I need to be full-time as much as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4617 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:54:55 +0000 mrbee 4617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh this economy is brutal... hope things pick up for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rotten-day#post-4615 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:52:22 +0000 MaisyMay 4615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was an independent contractor for a textbook company, and my boss would let me know when she needed me (usually about 30-35 hours a week). About three weeks ago she dropped off of the face of the Earth, to the point that I emailed her boss to find out what is going on. I got an email today saying that they've eliminated my position across the state, and that she's sorry that she didn't tell me because she's been so busy. I don't have a job any more.</p> <p>I got a new job recently, also indep. contractor, that is super part time, and so I need a new job now. This is a sucky time to be looking as you all know. Back to the job search I go. Ugh! </p>
