I overheard someone talk about RIF in PNW after the upcoming contract.
Howfar true is it? Are these usually guaranteed? I am somewhat the newest member in my team so I might get chopped off 🥹
My husband and I recently had a court wedding in America about a month ago
I am Zimbabwean he is American (This is for context)
We are at are planning on doing lobola /paying lobola in the next coming months (About 2 months)
We will not be coming to Zim in person because of my spelling error on my green card that is being fixed and with all this uncertainty, I am uncomfortable travelling to Zim ndinozorambidzwa kudzoka kkk. He is willing to do all the Zim African stuff and wants to honor my culture and I want his to also have a good experience of our culture
So which means this lobola will be done online. Now I need advice from my open minded reddit fellows on how to go about an online lobola session. Also things like Sadombo, munyayi etc. So do we send the money yatinoda on Western union, then someone does the paying for us mu plate? Who will that person be ? is he going to negotiate or patinoisa mari totziva kuti vhura muromo toda kuisa $20, rusambo $30 etc…. Then do we just watch the program on zoom while they do their celebrations in Zim? Do we even dress up for our lobola? Is it worth it to do the décor etc (We can afford it but is it something that we need to do if we aint there? )
I do not even have a roora squad lol
We are planning a wedding in the next year ( If visa bans are lifted) so my family can come and he can also have a taste and feel of a true Zim/ African wedding. If the ban is not lifted, then we will not do the wedding celebration because the whole point of it is to have all families present so this wedding is solely depended on Trump lol
I spoke to my family and they also find the situation unioque so we are all brainstorming and needing some different thoughts on how to do this.
I am trying to refer my husband for an engineering role
After referrals, does he need to apply for the role?
I see I can’t refer him if he already applied to the role. How is it done?
I work in engineering 27 F. I start at 5:45 am to catch early meetings.
My team mates are 57M , 64M and 5OM.
We are salaried so no compensation for OT and technically we should be out of office by latest 2:30pm since we will be there by 5:30am
However, they have a tendency of scheduling meetings for 2pm to 2:30 or 3pm and these run till 3:30 because they drag them so much with some unnecessary questions and they make them mandatory.
This has been a trend since I started 5 months ago and its extremely inconvenient because I end up working 10 hr days. They usually schedule these meetings the day of so at 10am you see a meeting notice for 2pm. This happens about 3 times per working week. Our calendars are empty the entire day but for some reason pick the time to go home
How do I politely raise this concern without sounding lazy or having the gen Z stereotypes on me?
I have held other roles at the same company for 3 years so I am somewhat experienced and I know work should not be like that
A little more details, these meetings are called “pre meetings “ where the team would love to discuss what to discuss in the next meeting the following day. So of a meeting is set up, they create another pre meeting to prepare for that meeting that they set up - which sounds very unnecessary and we never come up with a plan in that meeting or a good conclusion too - we always end up with, “ we will circle beck on it or lets add to the parking lot” - very pointless
