I am changing jobs over the next couple weeks. Company A, my current job, is a salaried position. They have asked me if I can continue to help them work on a particular project on the side, while they pay me an hourly rate. My equivalent hourly rate (based on normal hours) at this position is ~$45/hour. Company B is also an hourly rate position. They are paying me $75/hour. I am torn with what I should propose as my hourly rate to company A to provide them the assistance they need. Feelings aside, I would want to charge MORE than my rate at company B, because this work will likely be on nights and weekends (estimating 2-4 hours per week). It also has the potential to take away from my development with company B, since the two roles are quite different. Company A will also not be paying for any of my benefits. However, I have worked at Company A for a long time and they have, for the most part, treated me very well. They have also told me if company B doesn’t work out, I can come back to my old position with them. I think I would have no problem telling them $75/hour is my rate, but should I aim higher? How can I do this without pissing them off or having them feel like I’m taking advantage of them?

I get a ton of interviews but my references ruin the opportunity to get a job. It's not like performed badly or did anything bad at those places. I've personally seen how they treat people that want to leave. When I told them I want to quit to go study they suddenly acted distant and as though I was no longer part of the "family." And I do fine on the interviews I get. Most of them immediately tell me that I make a great impression but just want references. Edit: I told him truthfully what I thought my references would say. He called one of them. And I got the job.

Lol I just have to tell someone this, so yesterday my boss comes up to me says, “hey, go donate $50 bucks to the fundraiser” I kinda chuckled and said what, and then I realized he was serious, I continued to chuckle I said “yea, okay give me $100 bucks and I’ll donate $50” lmao. I later found out the reason he is so caring this year and wants people to donate is all because his boss told him if he can get $1500 dollars (probably so the company can get some tax break) of donations so he can have a week off! Yippyyy for him. Needless to say I won’t be donating, sorry :/ I have no issue donating when it is a genuine act of kindness but for businesses or people that do it for the pure sake of self reward is sickening. That’s all hope you have a great day :) who ever is reading this

Hi, I'm looking for ideas of any role where I would be just a warm body sat in a chair? Thing is, I already have a remote position that is 30hrs/week and it is flexi-hours computer work. As long as I do the required work, for 30 hrs/week then I am a-okay. So if I can do my work whilst I would otherwise be idly sitting, then it's a win-win, right? Now, I was thinking that I might as well try and twin-up this role with something else. So I'm looking for job roles where I would just be sitting in a chair, at a desk with nothing to do for 90% of the time. I've already thought of roles, such as: night receptionist. Does anyone have any other ideas?
