Lease Up

Hello!

I have been working in the leasing industry for three years this August. I was specifically selected to be part of a lease-up with long term employees that are also taking higher up positions!

Is there any advice you guys can give me? I know the work load will be different, but ofc this is different for me as it will be my first time doing a lease-up!

Poor socialization (1 year)

My now fiance and I got an Aussie doodle puppy last year.

At the time we were doing long distance up until a couple months ago so I was not able to really raise her.

I have noticed that she does not seem very socialized, which has been super frustrating for me as this is exactly what I did not want for her.

If people come to our house she barks intensely and backs away. It takes her a while to even warm up and feel comfortable with them...

What can I do to help her, I don't want her to be scared of people?

She has always played VERY well with other dogs but people are not her strong suit. (I want to emphasize that she acts very different in the home vs outside) when we are out in public she isn't very vocal when people come to pet her. She backs away a little but ultimately will let them pet once my fiance shows her shes safe. She also does amazing at the groomers. We have taken her to about three different ones since my fiance moved and they all say she is an absolute doll and so easy to work with..😂

Thanks for reading this & I appreciate some guidance.

New dentist recommending Invisalign (this would be my second time)

I did Invisalign in my teenage years and was decent with the results..didn't feel like they did the most amazing treatment course where I was at but it is what it is....I was seeing a different dentist after that for 2+ years and they never mentioned that my bite should be corrected.

I now moved states and have a new dentist and upon my visit today they are recommending that I do Invisalign to fix my bite because its wrong and can cause some wear in the future.

I don't know, I find it weird that my last dentist (not the ones that did my Invisalign treatment) never mentioned my bite in the past ( I went to a dentist that was literally top 2 in my old city) and now suddenly a new dentist is..?

Advice please!

I was let go during my 3 month review.

I have been at my new place of employment for about three months now. For starters, this is a completely different company from my last one. While I’m in the same position, the workload here is much heavier, and I’ve been expected to handle responsibilities that I didn’t have at my previous job. Because of that, there has definitely been a learning curve, and I’ve had to learn a lot of new skills in a short amount of time.

At my last job, I was one of two leasing consultants, so the workload was shared. In this role, there are about the same number of units, but I am the only leasing consultant, which has been a major adjustment.

A lot of the work relies heavily on memorization, so I’ve tried my best to stay organized and take detailed notes. While I have made some mistakes, many of them came from following processes the way I was originally taught by the previous leasing consultant. There were times management would bring issues to my attention, help me correct them, and then later I would find out I was still apparently doing things incorrectly because expectations had changed or were never fully clarified in the first place.

Before I went on vacation 2 weeks back, my regional manager emailed me wanting to schedule time for us to meet on Teams to work through the issues I’d been having. She told me she appreciated my effort and looked forward to helping me tighten things up, especially since I had been trained by someone else on the team. I thanked her and felt reassured that I was being supported and improving.

Before I went on vacation on the 29th if April, my regional manager emailed me wanting to schedule time for us to meet on Teams to work through a specific issue I had been struggling with, which was partly due to inconsistencies in how the process had originally been taught to me. She told me she appreciated my effort and looked forward to helping me tighten things up, especially since I had been trained by someone else on the team. I thanked her and felt reassured that I was being supported and improving.

Mind you my boss also mentioned concerns about reminding me that my septum piercing needed to be flipped up and this has only happened and handful of times and sometimes it was it simply falling out of my nose, we just opened shop, or I just got back from lunch. (I would also like to point out that this company is very anal about people having piercings and tattoos- (the tattoo part does not apply to me), this came as a shock to me as it wasn't mentioned during my interview & in the leasing industry, I haven't seen a company strict about it..)

I feel blindsided. I knew I had areas I was still improving in, but I genuinely felt that over the last few weeks I had become more organized, faster, and more confident in the role. It’s frustrating because many of the mistakes I was corrected on came from processes that were either taught inconsistently or never fully explained differently to begin with.

What confuses me most is that my boss repeatedly told me he expected it to take around six months before I would fully get the hang of everything, yet I was let go before even reaching that point.

This has been especially difficult and embarrassing for me because I came from a company where I was highly valued and appreciated by my team. I was trusted enough to host leasing huddles, I was the most reviewed person across the entire portfolio and helped teach other consultants about applications and resident experience strategies.

Maybe the work culture here is simply more cutthroat than what I was used to, especially since I moved from another state, but overall, I truly feel that I did not deserve this outcome.
