Job rotation Puns

I've read about the advantages of job rotation but I'm curious if anyone has actually seen it in practice? I'm new to the enterprise environment and I'm guessing its practical at a certain size. Looking for some real world examples/stories.

Almost done with in-person rotations and looking for a job. What are some options out there? I'd prefer not to work at McDonalds, Wendys, or Amazon.

First of I am not a recruiter and have no toes to this personally. Just worked in the industry (mostly overseas) for a minute or two. Meaning I have tons of friends and always get calls. Considering some of my best guys have been fellow Marines and can take being shit on better than anyone.... well here I am.

If there is a better place to post this let me know and I'll X-post.

Buddy of mine is a higher level cock sucker with a major rig company operating in the gulf of Mexico. They are hiring BIG TIME for drill floor guys (rotation 14/14) and casing hands (work when they tell you to, fuck your time off). No experience required, they recently hired a few guys from Walmart so I figure ASVAB waivers are accepted too.

Not sure if I can post the job, already banned from a lot of subreddits, not tryna add this one.

I can point you in the right direction and help where I can.. Keep in mind I'll be day drinking for a couple days so... yeah.

Title. The leveling process for new summoner has the potential to be even more atrocious than black mage, and that's saying something. There's literally nothing here. The core foundation of the class is amazing, but if you don't already have it leveled up or, you know, don't own endwalker, the job just falls flat.

The summoner wasn't designed as a base job, it was designed as a new job meant to start at level 70 or 80. Its learning curve is miniscule, and while the decisions it has to make are more important than having more buttons, its' still absolutely starving for something to tide it over. I think that moving elemental mastery to somewhere in the massive drought of level 30 to 60 would help out a lot.

So I was scrolling through TikTok and came across this introspective from benwithabee on the grass is always greener concept. His point questioning why "the grass" (current work environment/situation) is dead in the first place really hit home. We all know of course that that's where manager and leadership focus should be, not where people are going. This got me thinking about long-term positions and job-hopping practices, and ultimately crop rotation as another metaphor.

Crop rotation, for anyone that isn't familiar, is the practice of planting different crops sequentially on the same plot of land to improve soil health, optimize nutrients in the soil, and combat pest and weed pressure. (Thanks Wikipedia!)

To many of our employers, that means bringing in fresh faces (new hires) or even acquiring companies. What I question, is why internal transitions aren't just more frequently supported but encouraged? What if for example, when you're hired on with a company, you start in a set position, but have the freedom at any time to move to others? With such a free-flow structure, training could just be a constant provided resource. Everyone could get experience in new areas without the need for transition interviews and hard focus on qualifications. This could shift worker perspectives, fight stagnation and burnout, and diversify portfolios.

I get the impression this isn't a radical concept. I've worked within a massive corporate structure (Walmart) before, but there was so much friction that came with internal transitions, and it always seemed "lateral-only" or even to employee detriment compared to the position they left. I guess I dream of a day where titles/roles are less restrictive, and companies could act more like educational institutions. So many of us leave our companies to learn new things.

My perception was always that if I wanted to end up doing FP&A, or something similar, that Big 4 audit was the way to go. Honestly, I don’t think this sub has lent itself to enough exposure of FLDPs and rotation programs.

I know it’s an accounting subreddit, but these finance rotation programs apparently love accounting majors and CPAs. I think we, as a sub, should be pushing these programs as much as we push Big 4 recruiting.

I’ve been on this sub since I was in my intro to financial accounting course at a community college, 3 years ago. And as great as this sub is, I think you get the feeling here that B4 = the best route for accounting majors. I never learned about FLDPs or rotations through this sub (yes, I know the posts exist. I use the search function on Reddit like the rest of you smarties, but there aren’t a ton of posts about entry-level industry rotations in finance/accounting) and I happened to stumble across “FLDP” on my own, basically.

I think we can do better for the young accounting majors around here. When I took my first accounting class in college, my professor said “accounting is the language of business,” and my first boss in my tax internship said, “accounting majors can do finance and accounting, but finance majors can only do finance.” I didn’t really believe it until I applied for 85 entry-level corporate finance rotations and got interviews at like 20 companies:

Amazon

Unum

Vanguard

Rockwell Automation

Whirlpool

Navistar

CVS Health

Cisco Systems

Stryker

General Motors

Cardinal Health

Raytheon

Walgreens

Parker Hannifin

Western Digital

Bosch Verizon

Ally

I also got offers from EY, PwC, and BDO. But my point is, this world of entry-level corporate finance rotations was unknown to me until my senior year of college. I’ve always had this dread that I’ll have to suffer for 2-5 years right out of college in a PA role. Our accounting degrees are so versatile, and internships in INDUSTRY are huge! It all depends on what you want, but I have learned a lot about industry lately and I’ve changed my personal plan.

I don’t want to upset anyone who fucking did the work and went through a PA grind; I have no intention of making anyone feel bad or feel any kind of regret, but with the exodus in PA and my newfound knowledge of other opportunities that our accounting degree offers us, I feel like this topic should get more attention around here.

For example: why not include “indu

Hi All!

I am a soon-to-be new graduate and have some FM, UC, and EM job interviews lined up. However, I am going to be starting my last rotation (Ortho Surg) next week. All of the interviews will have to happen within the next 2 weeks due to panel member scheduling conflicts.

1. How did you handle job interviews during rotations with your preceptors? Were they mostly OK letting you out early to interview, or did they seem upset that you were taking time out of your rotation?
2. For those who are current preceptors, what are your thoughts?

A few of my interviews are within the same hospital system as my upcoming rotation, so I hoping my preceptor is more understanding.

Thank you all for your time!

Like the title says, I'm not writing code in my current role (business analyst/ database person), which I'm 3 months into after graduation. I took this role because it was my only decent offer, just to get my foot in the door somewhere.

In another 6 months (no sooner) I can put in for a rotation to a software development team which my manager says will likely be granted, but I'd rather be writing code at work now (currently I am writing code and doing leetcode in the evenings to stay sharp).

The very large company I'm at is known for prioritizing WLB and has great benefits, but my current pay isn't that great. I could get an equivalent level role elsewhere where I would earn ~ 35% more whereas it will take me 2 years at this company to get there.

I also think this company is awesome, and I could see myself working here long term if they come around about WFH, so not burning this bridge is important to me. (I do, however, picture needing to leave and come back at some point to get to the salary level I'm shooting for).

So my dilemma is this: I'm new, and getting a first role is difficult, should I chill, wait for the rotation, write some software here for a while and then apply elsewhere, or should I start applying and leave asap if I can?

If I do leave, are there any tidbits I should keep in mind to preserve my reputation at my current company?

Thanks for the help!

Hello everyone,

So I'm applying for a mortgage but the bank keeps saying:

1. I state my annual salary is £40000 (junior doctor year 2 on surgical rotation) but my year to date on payslip is £23000. I've explained that this employer only starts paying us in September because of our rotation (which is every August), therefore this "year to date" isn't an annual figure but a 6/7 month figure.

2. They want proof of future payment. But this is not included on our offer of employment as it is determined by the rota closer to the starting date.

Anyone got advice 😪😅 Struggling

I work in logistics and expanding my career on IT side and education. I've heard of career path options out there to gain exposure (e.g. go on rotation between departments/code to gain experience). Are there any career path programs that provide these opportunities or you recommend other opportunities as current DOD civilian?

I'm thinking of getting some certifications and going the cybersecurity route, but I really want some good work/life balance.

will I be expected to be on call in this field? how many of you have jobs that are like that?

anything else you want to share would be appreciated. feel free to share some of the positives or negatives of your job.

Hi everyone,

My first rotation is pretty nice Mon- Fri, 40 hours a week. However I need to make more money to sustain myself , are there jobs a F1 can do for extra work ? I know locum is not a possibility this early on. I have not seen anything specific that F1s could do , was thinking maybe I go back to waitressing on Saturdays

Thanks

Good day folks! So I just got a job in the hr department, and my boss wants me to design a Dashboard (mysql based) that helps rotates employees job position and location and lets them know when their time is up working at that place// smthg like that... I work for a governmental agency so job rotation is no surprise here.

Any idea which dashboard can I make use of or perhaps even create/ edit a ready made site?

P.s I do have slight experiences on creating/ designing websites.

Just looking for ideas here. Thanks XD

Basically the title. When I worked before medicine the worst part of any new job was the first 3 months when you don’t know anyone or the systems. I also feel it is intrinsic to the other issues seen in training programmes - jobs rarely ever get fixed or cut from the training programmes if they’re terrible. There is an incentive is to keep your head down for the few months that you’re there, easier and less risky to you than rocking the boat.

Don’t know what the solution is as I understand we have to get breadth of experience etc. Would be nice to work somewhere for a whole year though, and sad having to say goodbye to everyone yet again yesterday to start my 4th job so far during this pandemic. Rant over.

If they follow this path, people will start quitting tbh

  So, Our MLT program's clinical rotations start in August, and I just found out today that it is Monday through Thursday either 7-3:30 or 8-4:30, and classes on Fridays. So basically almost a full time job.
  I work at a drugstore right now and there's no way I could work around that schedule because of how they lay out the shifts at my job, unless I worked all weekend which probably wouldn't work due to homework, etc. I also have a 4 year old daughter so that makes it even harder on me, I need to be home in the evenings with her. I'm at a loss here on how I am supposed to have any source of income while I am spending my whole week in clinicals and class and then the rest of my time being a mom and doing homework 😭 
  I need suggestions please! Regular shift jobs aren't going to work, and I don't know what else I can do to earn an income. All suggestions are appreciated!

Edit: I realize my post above might sound a bit whiney and I didn't mean for it to seem that way! Genuinely just looking for options or ideas that I don't know about or haven't thought of, as a regular part time job might be difficult to fit in. Thanks for any responses!
