    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I recently faced a situation with a job offer that has left me quite anxious. After interviewing for a position, I was offered the job and told to meet with HR a week later. I assumed I would just fill out some paperwork and discuss my start date, but when I arrived, they informed me that it was my official start date. I asked if I could push it back by two weeks to give my current employer proper notice, and they gave me their card to follow up. Now, I'm worried that I might have jeopardized this opportunity. I’ve seen mixed opinions on whether asking for a two-week notice is acceptable, but I feel unsure about how this will be perceived by the new company. Should I reach out to clarify my situation or just wait to see how they respond? I really hope I haven’t ruined my chances.

    Feeling Got a Job Miscellaneous Thinking

    I recently received a job offer from a stone foundry where I would be making bricks. The pay structure is a bit unconventional, as it includes a base pay of $12 per hour along with commission based on the amount of stone I produce, which could range from $1.50 to $2.50 per cubic cm. While I currently work in a flea market warehouse earning $15 an hour for about 36 hours a week, I feel that a change is necessary for my career. The foundry claims that some employees with high production can earn up to $60,000 annually, but I know I shouldn't assume that level of income right away. On the plus side, the job offers good benefits, paid time off, and paid holidays. I'm curious if anyone else has experience with a similar pay structure and how it worked out for them.

    Job title: Brick Maker
