Thinking

I recently came across a company called Sundayy while browsing LinkedIn and I've been seeing a lot of updates about them. I'm curious if anyone here knows if they are a legitimate company. If you have applied there, received an offer, or gone through an interview process, I would love to hear about your experiences. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I started working as the assistant manager at a thrift store about four months ago, and I've been feeling really conflicted about whether I should stay or quit. Initially, the job seemed great with a relaxed atmosphere, a decent pay of $2 over minimum wage, and a generous employee discount of 50%. I was working from 8:30 AM to 3 PM but getting paid from 8 to 3:30 in case I needed to stay late, which I never did. However, things have taken a turn for the worse. My boss's boss, who doesn't even manage the store, has been coming in and changing everything. First, my discount was cut from 50% to 20%, and then I lost the ability to shop at the store unless items had been there for 24 hours. They also changed the time card system, so now I have to actually work from 8 to 3:30 or risk losing pay. The rules keep changing, and it feels like nobody knows what they're doing. I recently let my parents know about an item we had that they were interested in, and my boss freaked out on me, even though I didn’t buy it. Now, my family can’t buy anything within the first 24 hours. Meanwhile, my boss and coworkers are allowed to take items home without paying. I feel like I'm constantly being reprimanded and that my boss doesn't trust me at all. It’s miserable; I’m not getting the training I need, and I feel like I’m doing less than I was two months ago. To top it all off, I had to clean up raw sewage from a flooded bathroom without any protective equipment, which my family is furious about. My mom wants me to get tested, but I’m worried about causing more issues at work. I also run a small business on the side, which pays me more than this job does. My boss is supposed to retire at the end of the year, and while I was initially hopeful about taking over her position, I’m starting to think that won't happen. I’m friends with another part-time manager who shares my frustrations, but she’s not willing to speak up. I’m at a crossroads: if I quit now, my friend can train my replacement, but if I stay, I feel like I’m just causing more damage. What should I do?

I accepted a job offer for a support role three weeks ago and immediately gave notice at my current job. My start date was initially set for July 8, but two days before that, the recruiter informed me that onboarding was delayed until July 15. Just yesterday, I received another email stating that the team is still finalizing headcount and may need another week. When I inquired about the guarantee of my offer, the response was vague, only mentioning that they are 'optimistic.' Since my old job has already filled my position, I can't go back. I have another interview scheduled for Friday, but I feel conflicted about continuing my job search after signing an offer. Should I keep applying until I have a confirmed start date, or wait one more week to see if things get sorted out?

I recently posted on Nextdoor offering my services in photo and video editing, as well as social media management, since I'm currently looking for ways to earn some income. I have over five years of experience in this field, even though I don't have a formal degree. A real estate agent reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in becoming his executive assistant. The role would involve organizing events, handling paperwork, and managing his social media, along with some other tasks. We’re scheduled to meet at his office tomorrow, where he will explain his expectations in more detail. He mentioned that the job would offer a flexible schedule, allowing me to work mostly online, which is perfect since I'm a stay-at-home mom with a two-year-old and another baby on the way next month. However, I'm unsure how much to charge him for my services. I would appreciate any advice on what a fair monthly rate would be for this type of work.

I was laid off in early April 2026 from my corporate job, and while I wasn't devastated, I had been anticipating it for months. The environment was chaotic, and I was at my breaking point. Being unemployed has allowed me to start therapy, which has been eye-opening. I've realized how much my previous job impacted my confidence, especially due to the toxic management I dealt with. I know I need to find another job eventually, but right now, I'm struggling with motivation. I've been applying for jobs, but it's been half-hearted. Recently, I received a job offer that was significantly lower than my previous salary of $115,000—only $36,000. I turned it down because I can't justify taking such a pay cut, especially when I was earning more than that as a fresh graduate back in 2013. Unemployment is incredibly boring for me. Most of my friends are busy with their own lives, and my family isn't nearby. I'm stuck in a cycle of sleeping late and waking up in the afternoon, which feels unproductive. I'm 35, single, and have no children. I've been working continuously in corporate since 2013 without taking a break. Financially, I'm okay for now with about $80,000 in savings, no mortgage, and two passive income streams bringing in around $2,300 a month. My monthly expenses are between $1,300 and $2,000. While I feel financially stable, I wonder if I'm just avoiding the reality of needing to return to work because I'm burnt out. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced similar feelings after a layoff. - Is it reasonable for me to take a year off without jeopardizing my financial future? - Did you face a lack of motivation and boredom after being laid off? - What helped you regain your confidence and motivation? - If you had a year off, what would you do? - With $80,000 in savings, how would you budget to make it last? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I was recently let go from my position at a mid-sized tech company after I raised concerns about inconsistencies in my Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) to HR. It was a tough situation, as I was just trying to advocate for myself and ensure fairness in the process. Now, the company is offering me a severance package, but it comes with the condition that I waive my legal rights. I'm weighing my options and considering whether to consult a lawyer to understand the implications of this offer. The severance amount is a significant factor in my decision-making process.

I applied for a position at ADM in Decatur, IL, and I had my final interview nearly three months ago. Since then, I've been on hold and the recruiter mentioned that I'm still in consideration while they screen other candidates. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced a similar situation and if anyone has received an offer after being on hold for this long.

I've been working as a social worker (MSW) for almost two years now, and I'm feeling the urge for a change. The job is quite demanding, making it tough to apply for new positions while still employed. I want to focus on finding a role that is strictly therapy-related. I'm considering the option of quitting my job, taking about a month off, and then diving into the job search. However, I'm worried about how much harder it might be to get hired without a current job. One upside is that I could use my supervisors as references without the awkwardness of still being employed here. I'm looking for advice on whether this is a good strategy or if I should stick it out a bit longer.

I started a part-time program management position three weeks ago and I'm already contemplating quitting. Before this, I was a stay-at-home mom with my toddler and took this job as my severance pay was running out and my daughter was starting daycare. However, the role has not been what I expected. It was advertised as a support position, but I quickly realized I’m expected to manage independently, making decisions that I don’t feel qualified to make. On my first day, I found out that I wouldn’t have a proper handover from the previous employee, who went on maternity leave just before I started. This has left me scrambling to catch up and understand her decisions, with no guidance from anyone else. My manager has been on PTO since my second week and won’t return for three weeks, leaving me without support. I’ve reached out to him for help, but he admitted he doesn’t know much either. My husband believes we can manage on his salary while I figure things out, but I’ve never quit a job this quickly before and I’m worried I might be making a hasty decision. I’d love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

I recently found myself in a tough situation and need to secure a well-paying job within the next year to keep my pets. A few weeks ago, my life took an unexpected turn, and I had to put my pets in a foster situation. My goal is to find a job that pays around $50,000 to $60,000 a year, as I need to pay off debts and find an apartment that costs about $1,300 in rent. I'm open to almost any job, except for trades and coding, as I want to avoid physically grueling work. I'm looking for options that require only a few months of schooling or minimal experience. So far, I've only been close to securing jobs that pay around $20 an hour, which isn't enough. Any advice or suggestions on career paths or certifications that could help me achieve my goal would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve been feeling completely overwhelmed in my leadership role lately. A few weeks ago, the position I had been working towards was suddenly taken away, but I’m still expected to handle all the responsibilities that come with it. I'm leading initiatives, training new hires, interviewing candidates, solving escalations, and supporting multiple teams. The only thing that changed is my title, which has left me feeling lost and unappreciated. The workload has intensified significantly over the last few weeks, and I find myself balancing my own caseload while also taking on additional tasks. I’m constantly in back-to-back meetings, redesigning workflows, and handling escalations from every direction. The pressure is unreal; by the end of the day, I feel completely drained, like I could just collapse. I’ve noticed that my memory has started to falter, and I often forget why I walked into a room. In meetings, I get so anxious that I stutter or stumble over my words, which is not something I’ve ever experienced before. The emotional toll of leadership is heavy; I’m expected to motivate my team and keep everyone optimistic, even when I’m struggling to find that optimism myself. I’m grateful to have a job, but that doesn’t negate the burnout I’m feeling. I think about work constantly, even during my supposed off-hours, and I feel like I’ve lost a part of myself outside of work. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has been in a similar situation, where you have all the expectations of leadership without the title or recognition. Did you manage to find a way through it? Did you set boundaries, leave the role, or find a position that allowed you to lead without sacrificing your well-being?

I recently faced a frustrating situation where a job offer I received was rescinded after I was informed that I did not pass the drug screen and background check. I am confident that I am clean and do not engage in any substance use; I don't smoke or drink. I had signed all the necessary documents and was excited about the opportunity, but just a few days later, I received an email stating that the offer was withdrawn due to these tests. It left me completely bewildered. I'm considering reaching out to the company that conducted the background check to see if I can obtain a copy of the report, as I suspect something may have gone wrong there. It's incredibly disheartening to think that my clean record might be misrepresented.

I had a Zoom interview this morning for a position at a corporate office. During the interview, I was offered a follow-up in-person interview for tomorrow, but I was told I would receive a confirmation email with the time and location. It's now the end of the day, and I still haven't received that email. I did some research and found the office location, and I know a time was mentioned during the interview, but nothing official has come through yet. I reached out to the recruiter for clarification, but I haven't heard back. I'm torn on whether I should just go to the office tomorrow without the confirmation. It's frustrating not having that official communication.

I was laid off today after nearly 20 years in the tech industry as a software developer. I’ve been in this field since the early 1990s and spent about 16 of those years with a fantastic privately-owned company. The CEO, who was also the owner, treated us well, and even though we were paid below market rates, I loved my job and the people I worked with. Unfortunately, everything changed when the company was sold to private equity about three years ago. Just 12 hours ago, I received the news via a Zoom meeting, joining many of my colleagues who have faced layoffs in waves over the past 36 months. I can’t shake the feeling that a storm is brewing in the tech industry. I have a strong suspicion that when the AI bubble bursts, it could be more catastrophic than the dot-com crash or even the 2008 financial crisis, as the hype is now deeply rooted in various sectors including tech, finance, and energy. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time for me to step away from the tech industry and explore what’s next. I still have many working years ahead of me, and I’d prefer to invest that time in building a new path rather than waiting for the next corporate restructuring or acquisition. My experience in tech has been invaluable, but it has also made me realize the importance of moving on.

I recently went through a lengthy interview process for a role that I was really excited about. I spent over a month interviewing with the company, which included six different calls—both phone and Zoom—two projects, and a panel presentation. After each round, they moved me along quickly, and I received nothing but positive feedback. I even found out they did a reference check with a former boss who spoke highly of me, and it seemed like they liked me during that call as well. I truly thought I had it in the bag, but today I received the disappointing news that I didn’t get the job. It’s such a bummer, and it still feels surreal. I’m just here to vent and process this letdown. I’m ready to move on to the next opportunity, and I wish everyone else luck in their job searches too.

I recently applied for a position at owner.com and I'm curious about the hiring process. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with their application timeline. I've read on Glassdoor that it typically takes about four weeks to move through the process once it begins. I'm eager to know how long it usually takes to hear back after submitting my application and if anyone has insights on the first interview stage.

I recently faced a tough situation where I was let go from my previous role due to performance reasons. I genuinely believe the decision was not handled correctly and that I didn't deserve it, but I know I need to address this in upcoming interviews. I'm currently applying for positions at a large-scale company, and I'm struggling to find the right way to explain my departure without raising red flags. I've drafted a response that I plan to use: "I was let go because I wasn’t meeting the expectations of the role. Looking back, one thing I’ve taken from it is around my independence. I valued stakeholder input a lot, especially on work that touched a broader group. While I ensure I get input from stakeholders at the beginning of a project to gain direction, I’ve gotten much better at owning the smaller decisions and only bringing things forward once I’m confident they’re fully thought through. That’s actually the same strength I built at [First Job], where I used consumer insights and data to give leadership clear, targeted recommendations instead of generic ones. That’s exactly the kind of work I’m energized by, and why I’m excited about this [Position], I’d get to keep building on that strength, and expand it with data-driven, targeted strategy at [New Company]." I’m worried about being too honest but also don’t want to risk lying and getting caught later. I’ve seen mixed advice online about how to handle this, and I'm looking for feedback on my approach.

I recently faced a tough situation after being denied unemployment benefits in California. I’ve been working at UCLA for about three years, and this summer was the first time I was put on furlough with zero hours. Previously, I had worked through the summers without any issues. The university informed us about the furlough before the summer started and assured us that we would have our jobs back afterward. However, the Employment Development Department (EDD) denied my claim, citing that I have 'reasonable assurance' of returning to work, which makes me ineligible for benefits during this period. I understand their reasoning, but it feels different this time since I’ve never been completely cut off from hours before. Going three months without any pay is really challenging. I’m trying to figure out my next steps—has anyone else been in a similar situation? Should I consider appealing the decision, or is it likely a lost cause due to the 'reasonable assurance' rule?

I was recently laid off from my job as an HVAC technician after nearly a year with the company. I started as an apprentice right out of trade school, and things seemed promising at first. My boss had promised me a company van after three months of training, but the reality was quite different. I was often tasked with teaching new hires while still being underpaid and overworked. The pay structure was frustrating; we were only compensated for travel time once we arrived at the office, which was an hour away from our first job site. This meant I was often working long hours without adequate pay, and my checks rarely reflected the overtime I was putting in. Things took a turn when my boss hired a dispatcher and another tech who received immediate benefits, while I and my coworkers were left struggling. Eventually, two of the original techs left due to the poor pay and lack of support. My boss kept promising raises but never followed through, and when I was let go, I was denied unemployment benefits. I had taken a month off for state baby leave and returned to find myself fired due to vague reasons like 'poor skills' and having three warnings. Meanwhile, the dispatcher, who was also underperforming, received unemployment benefits. It felt incredibly unfair, especially since my boss seemed to prioritize family members over actual performance. Now, I’m considering the possibility of legal action, as I feel there was a lot of unfair treatment and mismanagement. I’m not sure if it’s worth pursuing, but I’m feeling lost and frustrated after everything that happened.

I’m currently feeling overwhelmed at my job and need some perspective. At 42, I’ve found myself crying multiple times this past week due to the stress and toxicity of my workplace. I earn a good salary for my age and background, but the thought of leaving without another job lined up terrifies me. I have about 40 months of savings set aside, but the fear of depleting that while searching for a new position is weighing heavily on me. I live in Gurgaon and my rent is included in my monthly expenses. I’m looking for genuine advice on whether leaving a job without another lined up reflects on my success or value as a person. I’ve considered starting my job search while still employed, but the current job market seems tough, especially with the focus on AI leading to layoffs. Any insights or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
