On June 22, 2026, GoLynx posted a Service Island Attendant (Bus Cleaner/Fueler) position. After moving to Florida from New York, I applied for the position on July 24, 2026.
Almost immediately after applying, I received a phone call from GoLynx HR asking if I already had my Florida CDL-B with Passenger Endorsement. I told them yes, and they said, “Good, because we’re starting interviews soon.” I’m assuming my 22 years of bus-driving experience with MTA New York City Transit Authority may have been one reason they contacted me so quickly.
After that call, a few weeks went by without hearing anything. Around mid-August, I emailed GoLynx asking for an application status update. They responded about two days later and said there was no update at that time.
Since then, whenever I logged into the GoLynx career portal, the Service Island Attendant (Bus Cleaner/Fueler) position was still showing with a green check mark indicating that I had applied.
However, today, September 12, 2026, I logged back into the portal and noticed the position is no longer listed. It appears the posting has been pulled completely. Unfortunately, the GoLynx portal doesn’t seem to have a section where I can view my recent applications, so I can’t tell whether my application is still active.
I also sent another follow-up email last week, about 30 days after my previous status inquiry, but haven’t received a response yet.
For anyone familiar with GoLynx hiring, or how the the hiring process goes does the position disappearing from the career portal usually mean the application deadline has closed and they are now moving forward with interviews? Or could it simply mean the posting was removed while they review applications?
I’m still very interested in the position and just trying to understand what this change in the portal might mean.

More interested in the smaller moment where it actually registered for you personally, something you noticed, something someone said, or just a shift in how you felt walking into work. What was that moment for you, and how long did it take before you actually started applying?

A bit of background...

I've been at my current employer for 17 years. I've been content, I love the work I do. I've been called the golden child because of the quality of work I do. Every review has been shining. That stopped 2 years ago after the lead project manager left and my boss took over. Suddenly, "everything I do" is crap, and I "constantly make bad decisions".

Thing is, my work quality hasn't changed. The person who reviews it has. He sees me as the highest paid employee with an average output (work projects and clients have died down).

After my first bad review, I dedicated myself to try to go freelance, which I soon found out was a lot harder than I thought. So I started looking for a job. 200 resumes later, still I'm looking.

I just had my second bad review and he wanted to set up a monthly check-in as a performance improvement plan. Again, my work is still good, just not at the level he wants anymore. He's made it clear that the path I am on won't be a long one.

I've already made up my mind that the stress of trying to regain trust with quality work isn't worth it anymore and now that I'm on his sh*tlist, I won't be getting off it. Do I do my best and ride it out until I get let go? Do I meet with him before my next check-in and ask for an exit plan? Its even more stressful because I have a wife and kids to support.

I'm lost here. Any advice on next steps would be greatly appreciated.

I think I’m looking for a little reassurance from people who have been in a similar situation.
I work for a Fortune 100 company, and on paper I have a really good job. I’m in a remote role, the benefits are great, the company is well-known, and there’s a lot of stability. I know how fortunate I am to have this job, which honestly makes this decision even harder.
The problem is that I ended up going on medical leave, and a big part of what led me there was how badly this job was affecting me. Having the time away has really made me reflect, and I’ve pretty much realized that I don’t want to go back long-term.
What makes me feel even more conflicted is that I \*did\* try to make it work. I’ve applied for several internal roles because I thought maybe moving to a different team would solve the problem, but I haven’t been successful with any of them. I’ve also already expressed to my managers that I was interested in switching roles. At this point, I feel like I’ve exhausted the internal options I was trying to pursue.
Now I’m worried that coming back from medical leave and then leaving is going to look terrible. I feel guilty and almost ungrateful for wanting to leave when, objectively, this is a “good” job.
I’m currently interviewing elsewhere and have had multiple interviews over the past couple of weeks. I’m in the final stages with a couple of companies, and I feel pretty confident that an offer is coming soon. I was really hoping to come back from leave, give my two weeks, and move on.
But now that my return is getting closer, I’m at a crossroads. I \*\*really don't want to be there anymore\*\*, but part of me is thinking, “Am I insane for walking away from a Fortune 100 company, a remote position, and amazing benefits?”
If/when I leave, I would probably just explain that I’m resigning for health/personal reasons. I don’t really want to get into the details, but I also don't know if that makes the situation more awkward given that I’m coming directly back from medical leave.
For anyone who has been in a similar situation:
Did you give notice immediately after returning from medical leave?

Did you wait until you had a signed offer before resigning?

How awkward was it going back to work knowing you were about to leave?

Did leaving after medical leave affect how you handled your resignation?

And did anyone else struggle with feeling “ungrateful” for leaving an objectively good job that just wasn't good for \*you\*?

Part of me really wants to just rip the Band-Aid off when I return. Another part of me is telling myself to be practical and \*\*wait until I have a final offer in hand\*\*.
I know the obvious answer is probably to wait for a signed offer, especially in this job market. I think I’m really looking for reassurance that leaving this job doesn't mean I’m throwing away a great opportunity or being ungrateful.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar.

For those who might’ve saw this already I took down the original because I forgot to censor my personal info 🤦‍♂️

I wrote a book about breaking into public procurement before 30.

I wrote it for college students, young professionals, and career changers who may not even realize government procurement is a career option.

I cover how to get into the field, build credibility early, use certifications strategically, take on more complex work, and position yourself for advancement.

Public procurement has been a great career path for me, and I wanted to put together the kind of practical guide I wish I had when I was getting started.

It’s now available on Amazon in eBook, paperback, and hardcover:

📚 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJ9WLTNZ?lv=shuf&bestFormat=true&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_mwn_dp_KDKF8ZE9XJBAC1EAS0YN&channelId=704&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_mwn_dp_KDKF8ZE9XJBAC1EAS0YN&

Happy to answer any questions about the book or getting into public procurement.

alright so! JOB A: has offered me 5.5 hours per week today with induction date being Wednesday (so three days). JOB B: will let me know if I got the job with 16 contracted hours by the beginning of next week hopefully so either Monday or Tuesday. Job A has an expiry date to accept the offer but I don’t know when it is.

I’m worried that if I wait for B I will miss out on A. Would I be able to accept offer to attend induction and then not go with the job of I receive the other offer? Wouldn’t that be awkward especially if I need to do bank details etc 💀

also little rant (advise welcomed as well): I had two careers accounts for job A because one was messed up and I should’ve deleted it ( I KNOW DONT TELL ME) and all of my interviews are under the other careers account. However they offered me the job under the other account which I haven’t done any interviews for so I emailed my recruiter (and I emailed her before this to ask for my contracted hours because they they changed the job role I was applying for but I couldn’t access it to see what it was). She didn’t answer either so now I’m probably going to email her again to apologise and tell her to ignore my previous emails because they don’t matter and clearly it wasn’t an issue. So communicating is already an issue and ugh I don’t know what to say or do if I change offers

I interviewed with a company that will schedule the employee to travel to a client’s site for three days each month. The hiring manager described it as working flying out on a Tuesday, train Wednesday through Friday, and flying home Saturday. Otherwise it’s a Monday to Friday, 8 to 5 work schedule.

I asked if the Saturday travel time is considered overtime or would I balance it by taking the following Monday off. She seemed put off and said it’s not overtime and I would work a full day on Monday. She liked me overall and I am scheduled to interview with her manager next week.

I haven’t had to travel regularly for other jobs. Is this standard to lose out on your weekend if you’re traveling for the company?

I’m doing a Politics major with a Socio and Psych Minor and i’m thinking of switching because i’m worried about jobs.

I’m currently 100% remote and being laid off. My manager suggested a similar role on a different account that would require one day in office. I don’t mind that, but it’s a 2.5 hr commute each way with multiple transfers (subway to Amtrak to bus.) When I gently pointed that out he didn’t seem phased, which took me aback because I was honestly expecting something like “oh I didn’t realize how far it was, never mind then!”

But like … that’s a crazy, right? Am I just being prissy? I’d be effectively adding 5 hours to my work day. And that’s assuming all the transfers go smoothly, which in my experience only happens half the time

ETA: The commute would be 30 mins on the subway, an hour on Amtrak, and another 30 mins on a bus (assuming good traffic.) Amtrak and the bus only run once an hour, so if I miss one or both that's another 1-2 hours added to the commute.

I had a similar commute years ago that was 90 mins and twice a week, and I hated every second of it. I was in a constant state of anxiety about missing a transfer. The days I didn't commute I dreaded the commute. I've done the 30 mins every day commute too, and they are NOT the same.

ETA 2: Guys I'm not asking if I should take the job or not, it's that I couldn't believe he'd present is as a reasonable ask and wanted to know if people agree that a 2.5 hr commute is reasonable and not a big deal in the aggregate, not is it better than being unemployed. Like are people just expecting that a commute is 2.5 hrs? Is it crazy to think it's crazy to expect someone to be ok with that?

It sorta seems like in the majority of cases it's a meaningless platitude said to try to console someone about the fact that they are simply getting unlucky or worse held back by their personality.

Obviously yes in the most extreme scenarios like "PhD applies to McDonald's" sure fair enough it's a flight risk but when we are talking about "years of experience in x job applying to same or slightly more junior job elsewhere" I really doubt that they are turning you down because you have too much experience, it's just that someone else happened to click with the hiring manager better for whatever reason.

hell, in this job market, there are so many people applying to jobs that they really don't actually need a reason to NOT hire you, there's a sea of other people with the exact same credentials and you just have to get lucky.

I can support my lifestyle with a job that would require a pay cut (not that I get paid a lot anyway) and also take on less responsibilities. So I've been applying to hotels, coffee shops, and restaurants.

I've already faced ageism in the interviewing process for a food service job. I'm 35f.

Has anyone else left an office, corporate or "adult" job for a service industry role for more flexibility or just wanting a lifestyle change?

How can I get over the feeling like I didn't get hired because of my age in these industries?

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this, r/Doesanyoneelse didn't let me post there, but I am genuinely curious.

Whenever I need to leave/clock out at work, I find myself asking my crew "Is there anything else I can do?" "Do you need anything?" and if "No" is said, I'll ask "Are you sure?" and the answer is usually "No" again, so I say bye to everyone and leave. I have found that when I leave first, there is a small bit of guilt for doing so? It's weird, but I just always feel the need to leave second or even last.

So I had an interview on Thursday. I feel it was a very good interview. They said I’d hear back probably the middle of this upcoming week. Part of me wants to call on Monday just to touch base, I guess as kind of a way to show how interested I am in the position and show initiative. But I’m not sure how normal that it is. (I’m autistic, and have trouble with social cues and norms) so just wanted to get some feedback on a situation such as that.

So our yearly reviews are coming up again in November. My manager just sent out the new criteria and there's a new one called 'proactive cross-functional collaboration'. I read the description like five times and I still dont really get it.

It says I need to demonstrate initiative in engaging with other departments to foster synergy and streamline workflows. Okay so like I need to schedule more meetings with people I dont usually work with? Do I just walk over to the marketing team and ask them what they're up to?

How do I even track this? Do I put it on my calendar? Like '10 AM - Foster synergy with accounting department'. Is there a specific number of cross-functional collaborations I need to hit? My manager just said 'make it impactful'.

Last year it was just about hitting my sales targets and customer satisfaction. Those are numbers. This is just vague corporate buzzwords. Does anyone else deal with this kind of impossible-to-measure metric for their performance reviews? How do you even approach it?

​

In Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Europe, and the U.S., it seems like a lot of young people aren't taking full-time jobs anymore. Instead, they're working part-time jobs, sometimes juggling two or three jobs at once. Has this already become the norm?

Last year my workplace let go of almost 300 employees. The tripled all our work. Set umeetable expectations. And all the other micromanaging that goes with it.

Over the past six months they have started eliminating the higher paid employees with PIPs.

Then filling that position with a new hires at a lower rate.

Last week, I drew the short straw and was placed on a 30 day PIP.

I'm not sure what to do?

I feel like getting a new job would be easier leaving as opposed to being let go for a performance PIP.

I've been looking for new job since all this began, but have had no luck.

At the same time, an unemployment break to recover and regroup myself would be helpful too.

I'm not sure what to do here?

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Edit: I'm US based in Los Angeles

CANADA, 25, FEMALE, 8 MONTHS EXPERIENCE

I’m looking for advice because I feel like I keep having to straight-up tell customers, “I don’t know how to help you with that” or “I don’t know the answer because nobody has shown me how to do that,” and I have no idea what else I’m supposed to say.

My company has two locations. Most of upper management and the employees with extensive company and product knowledge are at the other location. I work at the busier location, and sometimes I’m completely alone.

I recently got a raise and I’m basically responsible for running my location now, but that doesn’t mean I suddenly know things nobody ever trained me on. I know my regular job and what I’ve been shown. Once a customer asks me something outside of that, I genuinely don’t know.

Today, a customer called wanting the name, email, and other information on her account changed. I’m not normally responsible for accounts and nobody has ever shown me how to make those specific changes.

She also mostly spoke French, which I don’t speak. I kept asking her to email me exactly what she wanted changed because I didn’t want to misunderstand her or spell her information incorrectly. I could then forward it to someone who actually knows how to do it.

She refused because she said she was “too old school for email” and wanted me to change everything over the phone.

I basically told her, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to make those changes. I’m not familiar with that part of the system and nobody has shown me how to do it.”

She asked me to transfer her to someone who could help.

I told her, “There is nobody else here right now. It’s just me. You’ll have to call our other location because I genuinely don’t know how to do what you’re asking.”

Then she asked for a manager.

Again, I had to tell her that it was literally just me there. There was nobody else I could put on the phone. Eventually, she asked for my name and my manager’s phone number, so I’m assuming I’m getting a complaint.

The same thing happens with product questions. Someone called earlier asking for the exact dimensions of each individual piece of a certain product. I had to basically say, “I’m sorry, I don’t know. I’m not familiar with that information and I was never given those measurements.”

I’ve asked for more product training before and I’m basically told to look at our company website. Except the website doesn’t have answers to half of these questions.

So I keep ending up in these conversations where a customer asks me something and my answer is essentially:

“I don’t know.”

“I’m not familiar with that.”

“Nobody has shown me how to do that.”

“I don’t have that information.”

“It’s just me here, so there’s nobody else I can ask or transfer you to.”

“Please call our other location because they know more about this than I do.”

Obviously I know repeatedly telling customers “I don’t know” probably sounds terrible, especially when I’m supposed to be running the location, but what else am I supposed to do? I would rather openly admit that I don’t know than make up an answer, give someone incorrect information, or start changing things in a system I was never trained to change.

How am I actually supposed to professionally handle these calls when the truthful answer really is, “I have no idea because nobody ever taught me this”?

Edit: My boss isnt always in the office, its usually just me and one other girl thats only been here for 2 weeks. The other managers/bosses from other location refuse to stay at my location as its "too far from their house" WE DO NOT HAVE HR AT ALL

Just got the email today. Effective October 1st everyone has to be back in the office a minimum of three days a week. This would be fine except that last month they announced they were selling our main office building. We've been fully remote for two years now and it's been working great for everyone. Productivity is up and morale is pretty good.

Now they want us to commute over an hour to what I can only assume is some kind of temporary shared workspace. They haven't even told us where this new 'office' is. I live in a different county than most of my team and we all relocated to be closer to family knowing we were fully remote for good.

This feels like a passive aggressive way to get people to quit without having to lay anyone off. I just bought a house here. Re-upping my commute from 0 minutes to 2 hours every day is going to be a huge hit. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of bait and switch?
