I'm happy for you that you found something. Yeah obviously you'd like something better, but the positive spin would be to look at it as a stepping stone (in addition to the fact that you're making money again, of course). You never fucking know what could happen, whether it be internal promotion that you can ride out the rest of your career with, or that one customer you make small talk with who can help get you back into the communications industry, if that's what you want. Honestly I'd be angling every day to make small talk with everyone just to see if they'll bite and drop you a business card. Think of it as somewhat of a paid audition for something better.Comment

Thank you Lou - yes very good advice all around.
Binnie - yes a huge change, I worked for 30 years as a news producer at an ABC affiliate in Buffalo. Apparently it's too much of a niche job to make some kind of crossover in my area where jobs are scarce to begin with.
As for DD, I am seething right now - I was hired a week ago Friday and in spite of repeated attempts to reach the HR dept. which does the training, they have not returned my calls. I'm starting to doubt my own sanity and wonder if they did not really hire me at all. If it weren't for the manager at the actual location, who is trying to help me reach them, I would have given up by now. I also wonder if I really want to work for an organization that is this disorganized. But it's not like I have a lot of choice but to wait.
Oh dear.

I'm afraid that waiting for them to organise themselves is the only option - it never ceases to amaze me how slow some companies are at initiating employees, but things usually get better once you start work in my experience.The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

I'm not sure, it was for a seasonal position and their training process started last Monday and wrapped up on Friday. So I kinda think not.
Oh dear.

I have to vent somewhere. It is now a week and a half since I got hired at Dunkin. Or at least THOUGHT I got hired. In spite of repeated calls to both the store and the HR manager, I STILL have not heard from these people. Today I left a message that probably was too strong, but as mildly as I could, demanded that they call me and let me know if there really is a job or not. I said it really isn't fair to keep me hanging on like this especially since I turned down another job to take this one.
Let's see what happens now.
Oh dear.

Dunkin' Donuts, along with Baskin-Robbins, is co-owned by Dunkin' Brands Inc. (previously known as Allied Domecq Quick Service Restaurants, when it was a part of Allied Domecq). Dunkin' Brands used to own the Togo's chain, but sold this in late 2007 to a private equity firm. Dunkin' Brands was owned by French beverage company Pernod Ricard S.A. after it purchased Allied Domecq. They reached an agreement in December 2005 to sell the brand to a consortium of three private-equity firms, Bain Capital Partners, the Carlyle Group and Thomas H. Lee Partners.Eat Us And Smile
