Listen yall, I remember the exact moment on Labor Day in 2007, when I realized climbing the corporate ladder wasn’t for me and my family. I had become a new supervisor at Carmax not even 10 months prior. I was rotating night shift and day shift. I had worked 55ish hrs the week before(for a salary of 40k 😂😂😂) and I was supposed to have that Labor Day off. However, my boss called me that morning and told me he needed me to come in anyway. I remember clearly leaving my wife as she was glaring daggers at me and then crying on the patio swing with our 4 month old daughter in her arms and out 18 month old playing on the patio. I was only 22 but it was a career defining moment for me. I quit the next day and transferred into the sales dept instead. My boss who worked 70-80hrs a week couldn’t understand why I was quitting but it’s something I had to do for me and my family. I wish I could say that was only time I put work before my family but it’s not. Although the times have become fewer and fewer over the years thankfully. The point is exactly what the article is all about. Most of the time, climbing the corporate ladder isn’t worth it. Even if you do get a pay raise that makes it feel a bit better, you have added stress, travel and hours you have to deal with and more responsibilities🤷♂️. Disclaimer and for legal reasons: If my company is reading this, I love what I do and I want to learn and grow in my role as much as possible while having a good work/life balance. P.S- Work to live, don’t live to work. #worklifebalance #news #notnewnews

Thinking of transitioning from Leading Hand to Foreman? There’ll be some initial drawbacks, but don’t let that deter you and keep your eye on the prize. There are a couple of things to be aware of before you start your job search, and once you accept these, it’ll make the process easier. Think of it as short-term pain for long-term gain. Firstly, you’ll need to accept there’ll probably be an initial pay cut when you first transition from a supervisor with a subcontractor to a Leading Hand / Foreman with a head contractor. There are a couple of reasons why this initial pay cut will occur: * The move will see you shift from an hourly rate to a salary – so no more overtime or penalty rates. * And you're essentially starting as a junior in your first Foreman role with a head contractor, and your pay will reflect this. Whilst it’s great experience to have under your belt, subcontractor businesses don’t generally have the size and structure to support their employee’s progression beyond a supervisor role. To alleviate financial stressors as you’re transitioning, it’s best to make the move as early as possible in your career. Start by mapping out what you'll need to get there, and let your Manager know (if you can) you're looking to progress so you gain their support to help champion your career. Next, you'll need to remain open-minded that your first Foreman role is really just about getting your foot in the door, so consider all offers presented to you from potential employers beyond your preferred list. Remember, a Foreman role with a tier 3 builder may not be your first preference, but the experience you will gain in your time there (such as being exposed to all aspects of a build unlike larger tier 2’s and 1’s) will set you up for something more preferable down the line. So, if you’re serious about moving beyond your current position, accept that there will be growing pains as you progress but keep the bigger picture of your overall career goals in mind! #ConstructionPeople #constructionindustry #constructionjobs

And yet, the problem that so often arises in companies is hiring the wrong person for the job. This often leads to problems, additional costs, and ultimately to repeated recruitment. When we work with our clients, we ensure that drivers who start working for them are not only verified but also matched to the specific position. This not only optimises recruitment costs but also ensures better employee retention. #247drive #energyontheroad #CEDriver #driverjob #jobabroad #professionaldriver #truckdriver #truck #jobineurope #interestingfact #jobfordrivers

My managers were toxic. But it took me almost 10 years of professional experience and leading a team of my own to realize that. In my early 20s, I had a couple of corporate jobs. I worked across departments, interacting with people at different levels. I had a blast: - opening myself to new career opportunities and ending up in marketing - attending meetings with great minds I couldn’t have met otherwise  - and making friendships I’ve still got to this day. BUT Some managers I interacted with didn’t treat me very nicely, especially considering my limited work experience and my obvious effort to learn. 🍵 Things such as: - consistently mocking me for my job title, implying it reflected my full potential  - forcing me to do unpaid overtime because a certain job had to be done outside of office hours - addressing minor issues with my manager rather than with me directly - shaming me about not following a corporate rule they weren’t following themselves - making me cover from my pocket company money somebody had supposedly left at my desk while I was away for lunch Now that I’m about the same age as these managers were back in the day, I can tell you: 👉 That’s no way to treat a fresh employee. Or any employee, for that matter. I’ve hired people, trained them from scratch, crafted their career development plans, and managed their performance. I’ve had subordinates quit their job and even let go of some. 💡 But I never forgot that the person in front of me, no matter their age or job title, is a person above being an employee.
