darksabre Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Pretty sure she started well after your tenure Okay. Well that's better than I was expecting :lol: All the company ever wanted in that role was a patsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintwestwood Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 What do you do? I work in the packaging and shipping department at the Goya factory in Angola. A family friend owns the factory so I was hired on as a favor when I was hard up for work a few years ago at the bottom of the ladder. After they realized that I'm one of the few people there with any kind of critical thinking skills or ambition I moved up pretty quickly. It's not a job I want forever, or even right now, but like I said, it gives me the time to do the things I want to do with good pay. At 26 I can work a job I dislike for a while, I have plenty of time. And realistically I'll probably be there a while after my girlfriend moves here because she won't be able to work for a while until she gets citizenship.

Â I believe if you sponsor your girlfriend she should be able to get her *green card* pretty quickly and be able to work long before she becomes a citizen. I also recommend that she not give up her Canadian citizenship as both countries now recognize dual citizenships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a ton of options so we're trying to figure the best one out for our situation, but it's such a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Applied for a lateral position in Regulatory Affairs tonight. I need to get out of this job. Was that meeting with your boss that you told us about a few weeks ago just a bunch of bullsh!t platitudes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 If she's as naive (being nice here) as made out, she probably won't feel the stress. Though her tenure likely will be short. So bright side, if you do end up regretting your decision, you may get another bite at this apple. ;) After 6 months on the job she rescinded the position. Her replacement, a peer I respect, left in less than a month. Somethings broke here and they don't care to fix it. Was that meeting with your boss that you told us about a few weeks ago just a bunch of bullsh!t platitudes? Yeah I just got back from a 2 week vacation and it was like I never left.
