They will all remember, for Patricia was full of s**t and the attendees nodded in silence.
Could try a data entry job that lets you listen to your own music. It's pretty nice, spending all day doing mindless typing while rockin' it out to your favorite tunes.
I’m pretty optimistic about this. Over time, diversity will climb the pyramid. At my job, all the directors were white men. Now it's almost 50% men 50% women and 4 different ethnic groups. Dinosaurs are disappearing (even if some survive and take pretty colorful feathers), young people are making a difference because they do not let themselves be pushed around like my generation.
There's always going to be one that doesn't, too fond of the sound of their own voice.
Yas - my 'how's it going week' soulmate! Mondays = horrid, but you know it's going to be horrid so you're prepared - Wednesday = humpday, not bad; Thursday = nearly Friday, we're getting there; FRIYAY! So Tuesdays = it's already been a long week and it's only Tuesday, absolutely horrific 😨
It's more satisfying to leave that first draft text in white font on a white background
''I don't think I have enough overlook yet and appropriate skills acquired on that situation to achieve and manage that task with a satisfying efficiency'' was my words when I felt I was assignated a s****y task ( edit : I'm just a gardener 😁)
Yearly feedback from the teams: communication from management could be improved because it is often unclear, contradictory and incomplete - Reaction from management: we all (minus management) had to do a day long communication training - but hey, there was free food!
Then you post the answer and less than ten seconds later the rest pile on with their "but, but ,butts".
I once started a job and, after not much time, realized the person before me had been doing it wrong for YEARS (a form of data entry). I brought it to my supervisor's attention and was told that I was NOT ALLOWED to do it correctly until management approved the change, and that I should keep doing it incorrectly until they did. That job was an endless nightmare of frustration and unsurprisingly, I left as soon as I could. My job and the database I managed were utterly useless because of how screwed up it had gotten, and they could not have cared less, even though that meant they were wasting tens of thousands of dollars every year over it. Their response every time it got brought up? "We haven't been sued yet *shrug*."
I've started going to chat gbt and type in, "reply to email 'xyz', but make it sound like I'm not an a-hole." Just make sure you get rid of "sure, you could reply with :" because I did that this week, and didn't remove it. 😎
Here's a tip. Hit reply. Immediately delete out all recipient email addresses so there is no longer a recipient listed. Type out exactly what you want to say, include your "Regards", "Thank you", "Kiss my a***", or whatever. Then go onto something else. Come back 30 minutes later and actually reply. Delete your "draft" email.
A great environment for personal growth and abundant opportunities to make meaningful impacts on the world.
Turn off LinkedIn, until you're looking for a new job. It's the only time it has any use.
Or just repeating "mhm" every 15 seconds, so they don't ask you anything! :))
Work meetings are the last place where you want to start handing out ice picks.
*triggggggggered* omg omg I literally have nightmares about this happening
mine : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing I got out of LinkedIn was an infinite series of requests asking me to write technical articles for free. Killed my account years ago and have never missed it.
My promotion at work had me managing people, it was a very trying time. Thankfully after a merger they reduced my responsibilities and gave me a raise. Or maybe I got demoted, either way, I got a decent raise.
Ok, maybe I'm overreacting to this, but I have a co-worker who gets so irritated when the major Jewish holidays hit and we can't get a hold of any of them. But, she loves when we're out for a week for Christmas and they're working. Like...you realize the entire world doesn't celebrate the same holidays or take the same days off right? In fact, crazy thing here, some people don't get holidays off at all no matter their beliefs! Crazy I know!
Need to read it a couple of times, but I think this actually says “get f**ked”.
I have my computer muted at all times and we aren't allowed to have Teams on our phone due to confidentiality issues. I've no idea what this sounds like.... but I still don't look like these people. Bummer.
Off topic: The single tooth under his nose. Can't watch films in cinema with him because of this.
The only "social media" I have/use is BP and LinkedIn. And I'm not sure I like the social media part of LinkedIn. Like I get networking for jobs and such, but posting stuff daily to build a brand? Like my stuff would be, "still unemployed. Apparently over qualified for everything." Or "please hire me!" every day. Womp womp.
