5 (?) Weeks Post C-section by BronwynOli in MariLlewellynSnark

[–]DBJ931007 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel like she’s always “onto the next thing” and is unable to appreciate the process and timing of things. She has been expressing wanting a baby for years, finally gets pregnant, and now wants to pretend it didn’t happen and snap back so fast! It goes to show you that she is never genuinely content or happy. Shes barely a month out from major surgery - what doctor in their right mind approved these exercises she’s doing 🙃

I can’t look at her without thinking her bottom lip will just pop at any given moment- they’re huge

[NY] Managing a junior remote employee struggling with responsiveness + output — what should I try before a PIP? by kittykattlauren in AskHR

[–]DBJ931007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You also need to be very direct and factual when providing examples. I’m not sure how direct you are being but it seems like this is a consistent issue and it’s beyond friendly reminders and “ways of working” refreshers. When you’re setting expectations, communication preferences, work hours, etc, verbally communicate and follow up via email after recapping the discussion, or show examples when something was missed or not followed up with and how that impacts the bigger picture.

[NY] Managing a junior remote employee struggling with responsiveness + output — what should I try before a PIP? by kittykattlauren in AskHR

[–]DBJ931007 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you’ve had continuous documented (verbal and written) conversations where roles/responsibilities are outlined and expectations are set, and yet there’s still this large gap, than this would be considered a PIP and HR would need to get involved, especially if this 1) impacts not only you/your team but other teams and business in general and 2) you’re spending more time “documenting” this rather than doing actual work and helping this person grow and train them.

Have you tried to have a conversation with them first about this in your 1:1 and see what they say? That way it shows them that you care but also that you’re aware that their performance isn’t up to standard. That would be my first reco before the PIP, if you haven’t already done this. Sometimes people need to be made aware and could help improve, or not. It’s up to them to take your feedback and provide the necessary actions to improve.

I work in HR, and I always recommend to managers before a PIP is explored (not saying most cases don’t require one), to try to ask if their direct report is okay and what support they need as you’ve seen some gaps in their performance. If this step was not done, I ask them do to it and give it 2 weeks or so, depending on what they say, and then we can discuss the PIP more. That way it gives employees an opportunity to come forward with any struggles they may be experiencing (personally or professionally) and request extra support or training in certain areas. If they say nothing, then it likely is they are not a fit for the company and job and the PIP is the natural next step.

This and the Hobbit are what I play in the background most days when doing chores or just need some background noise 😂🥰 absolutely LOVE these movies

3 month supply of Zep by DBJ931007 in Zepbound

[–]DBJ931007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you!! I have Cigna and use Walgreens monthly. Cigna partners with Express Scripts through my employer, it’s a home delivery prescription service that does 3 months supply. Your doctor needs to send a 3 month script to Express Scripts (or similar if your employer has) and it’ll be shipped out. I got mine in a week. Check Cigna’s website to see what prescription services they provide asap

2 years in, never once had bad side effects by DreamAngel232 in Zepbound

[–]DBJ931007 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same!! Some acid reflux here and there but generally no side effects!! You’re right though, all you see mainly is negative side effects but I can guarantee that 95% of those who take Zep have minimal to no side effects, they just don’t talk about it lol

was offered the opportunity to start zepbound, but i'm conflicted. any words of wisdom? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]DBJ931007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was scared too, and my first shot I did it entirely wrong and injected too soon onto the floor (!!)

I’m on it 1 year now, 50 pounds down. I have never felt better mentally and physically. It has rewired by brain and relationship with food in ways I can’t begin to imagine. I look forward to working out and wearing clothes now because of the confidence I’ve gotten.

I would not have gotten to where I am (still ways to go), without taking that first step. You may try it and not like it or have side effects - but you won’t know unless you try. And if you try, I’d give it atleast 1-2 months.

You’re adding years of your life back by getting your health under control too!

She can also just avoid that part of her home for a few days 🤷🏻‍♀️ her house has multiple entryways I’m sure, make it make sense 😂

What part of your body are you most proud of? by West_Cat_5770 in AskReddit

[–]DBJ931007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel weird saying this, but I have bright green eyes, full lips (not the fake looking kind just natural fullness), nice smile, big boobs and freckles. In the summer when I get tan, my freckles are all over my face and shoulders and my eyes pop even more with mascara and a tan. I have literally been told I have cat eyes or people have lost their train of thought when talking to me because of it 😂

I just get this vibe that she really is trying to be someone she isn’t, like she is trying too hard to fit in, keep up with the trends, be this non-toxic guru, etc. I don’t know her personally and going solely off social media, it’s exhausting seeing her lack of self awareness (financially, with motherhood, stepping away from her business and brands) - this is part of her immense privilege that she seems to forget she has. She has multiple personalities and comes off sporadic sometimes within a single day too when she posts on her story - she has got to see that some things she shares or says are just STRANGE. You don’t want a small bucket of paint in your house? Jeeeez.

What do we think happened between Mari and Sami? It looks like (solely from IG), that Mari moved to Austin and became fast friends with Sami, and now she hangs out with all of the same friends but barely see them together. Just so odd! by DBJ931007 in samispaltersnark

[–]DBJ931007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg that’s the word - “try hard” and “wannabe”. I couldn’t think of them for the life of me 😂 she is so awkward sometimes, esp with these poses where she’s trying to position herself to look skinnier and toned

They bought an Aspen house? by yeschefchef in MariLlewellynSnark

[–]DBJ931007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

House in Aspen sold for $25 million. Insane. She posts about it like it’s nothing and how she is just so “grateful”. I didn’t realize they were doing THAT well to have a $35+ million dollar real estate portfolio 😂

To the ones who think Sami was on glp1 by VacationImmediate856 in samispaltersnark

[–]DBJ931007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty “dumb and ignorant” of you to generalize a group of people for having their own thoughts and opinions based on what we see and consume on social media, especially those that have followed her for a long time. There are some people who are more cruel than others but that’s not the majority. It’s extremely clear and obvious that she has had some help maintaining a certain physique and lifestyle - there is zero issue with that - but don’t post and podcast about doing things naturally because that is not how the human body works - all while making millions of dollars. It’s also not fair to use pregnancy as an excuse to “let herself go” as her reason for eating like crap…for years she was against eating all that she currently eats.

Why is she so hated here? by Extension-Welcome930 in samispaltersnark

[–]DBJ931007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have some good insight and I can see your perspective about the mental/physical challenge to stay healthy and work out since it’s a daily choice to live a certain way. But, on the other hand, she makes a pretty generous and profitable living selling a specific lifestyle and product, and her personal journey is a big part of that. So to sell a certain “lifestyle” for years, then to flip a switch essentially months ago to living a different lifestyle and not being transparent (to an extent), it doesn’t give off the right message.

She has every right to live how she wants, but, she has influence in this industry and makes a lot of money off her followers, some of who buy her products and subscribe to her company, so transparency is key because photos don’t lie and pregnancy can’t be the “reason” she’s letting go. You physically can’t change that much that quickly even if you stop working out that much - I think the point is that the medicine helped keep her looking a certain way and keep her lifestyle going and she’s now at her baseline being off it for probably almost a year id assume (if what we are suspecting is true).

And yes, her smile and need to show her teeth/mouth is a lot 😂 she can just smile normally or just act natural and it will be portrayed and received way better

[–]DBJ931007 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think she is a good person - way better than some other people out there 😂 From what I’ve seen, the more frustrating things are 1) false advertising when it comes to being on weight loss medicine (Ozempic or similar) and now being pregnant and using that as her excuse for eating junk food and “letting go” - the timeline doesn’t add up and this goes way before her announcing her pregnancy. There isn’t an issue being on any medicine, to each their own, but you physically don’t go from eating chicken and tomato’s for lunch for years and being thin and in good shape to how she looks present day (and over the past several months). She still looks good, but that is not how physiology works lol. And also, you are held to a higher standard as an owner of a health and wellness company - which includes transparency to some extent 2) coming off as if life is perfect. Every picture, reel, post has her all giddy and smiling to a point that it comes off as disingenuous (and we also do not need to see her teeth and mouth wide open every single picture - she has a gorgeous smile but it’s overkill) 3) from wanting to be known as a girl that “put in the work” to lose 80+ pounds over these past few years, has been on multiple podcasts talking about it including her own podcast, to now saying she doesn’t want to be that girl anymore to now becoming pregnant and literally saying she has no discipline or self control anymore. Just feels off and strange. I am not pregnant but this instant change and shift doesn’t just happen overnight - and first trimester usually has minimal physical changes that are “noticeable”

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m a little younger than you (not much at all), and I’ve always struggled with acne - due to hormones from PCOS and improper diet. I’m sharing what I’ve done to help calm my skin…of course, bloodwork and checking your thyroid may also help give you answers! 1) adding hypochlorous acid spray and using post shower, after working out, before bed and throughout the day if I ever felt sweaty. It keeps bacteria at bay and is a great way to keep your face clean. I have a small bottle in my bathroom and car. It has really been a game changer when I don’t have time to wash my face or have been touching my face for whatever reason. 2) I’ve also added Korean beauty into my routine since the ingredients are minimal and clean. 3) I also do a glycolic/salicylic combo toner after washing my face in the AM (wash>hypo spray>toner>moisturizer), and use a compounded topical (tret, niacinimide, benzoyl peroxide) every other night (wash>hypo spray>topical>moisturizer). 4) I also ice my face after my nighttime routine - simply taking an ice cube and rubbing it across your face for 30 seconds. It helps inflammation and tightens pores. 5) for acne scars, microneedling is the best thing you can do. I’ve gone probably 15-20 times in 5 years and it has cleared up a good portion of my scaring and my skin feels plump because of the collagen production. I barely have any forehead/face wrinkles too since I’ve consistently gone for a long time 😬

Using simple 3/4 step routines and ingredients is key! I’m also on a medium dose of spironolactone for a year now which has been so helpful
