i hate driving past that facility. it makes me sick, thinking of all the people who were forced to relocate for such a failure of a project. i also have not met a single person who has worked for Foxconn in Mount Pleasant, haven’t met a sin

i think an important part of my job that i overlooked when i first started was my availability. i do not have all the answers, half the time i don't even know what i am doing but i know that i am available to try. and i think that is r

that is okay, i notice i left context out of my post as i hastily wrote it. thank you for your kind words, i think it is definitely best to look at this situation from the angle of "learning opportunity".

ah, i reread my post and it lacks a lot of context and i apologize for that. yes he and I are the only nerds in the company. i believe the feature update gets doled out through a third party, and i am in the position to ensure that our work

i think what is most important to me at the end of the day is knowing i put in the time and effort to do a good job, no matter what it is. i am old enough now to have experience in all sorts of things. i was a construction estimator, a reta

he must, and i noted on another comment that if he is proceeding in this manner and is calm about it, then i should follow his lead and feel the same. no sense getting myself worked up and dreading an outcome that may never even come to fru

i do think that i have fallen into a mental trap of thinking this might be way bigger than it actually is. if he is not concerned, why should i? poise is an excellent way to describe what i need moving forward. i never though about it that

i'm leaning toward there isn't one and that whatever my boss has cooked up is going to go fine, or go haywire and i am the warm body to get beat up on when production goes down. they already gave me a gas card, i think Arby's

you nailed it on the head. i did leave out some context and i see now this post is just the ranting of a madman. i am an Intern, and my boss is the ERP Systems manager. My company is not large. Before I came along, it was just my boss. He i

i think you're right and in my rambling i forget that i work for THEM and the company will always be concerened about THEM. it has happened to me before. i think i am just feeling a bit... imposter-y. i have put my nose to the ground t

thanks for the advice. to add some context, i have been voicing concerns and i just feel that i may be in a position where i have to take the silence and work it out for myself - i must remember all the resources i have available to me (inc

i appreciate your candor. i think you may be right. in my current position, i feel at a loss. i think sometimes people, like me in this case, can feel almost indebted to a company that took a chance on them. i have no professional experienc
