UPDATE: I got the offer in writing!!! I have never had a better interview/hiring experience than I’ve had with Muck Rack this past month. 10/10, no notes.
Conveniently the sickest I’ve been in years (thx Jake’s elementary students) and grateful that it’s during my last two weeks of work (thx tech layoffs). It’s been helpful for navigating the emotions (thx DayQuil/NyQuil).
In light of the Meta layoff news, I will never understand companies making layoff announcements and not just doing them immediately. It’s bad enough that you’re laying people off, but at least put them out of their misery right after that announcement.
I’m currently in a cycle where I remember I have weddings to go to this year, look at the Isabella BHLDN dress and everything from Reformation, realize that they are way too expensive, desperately try and find dupes, cry in poor and try to forget them, then repeat.
My ultimate goal in life is to make good money, be good at my job, and not have to think about my job outside of work hours (to still be good at my job, I get that sometimes it’s unavoidable to think about work). Legit not sure if that’s possible though.
I have realized that I’m a Jane Austin girlie, for better for worse. I wish I was deeper but give me any adaptation of any Jane Austin novel and I can’t think of a better Friday night. Zero shame.
As an employee at a tech start up, I can’t think of a better way to launch my weekend than to scroll tik tok and exclusively get videos about the recession and tech layoffs. Did you know the meme of the dog in a burning room turned 10yo this week?
Just got dragged on a work Zoom “Isn’t Oregon known for having good coffee? Why are you working at a Starbucks?” I know too many people at the local spots that I can’t get work done!!!
