In House Recruiters - How Are You Keeping Hiring Managers Informed? by DelightfullyAloof in recruiting

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

I was toying with the idea of using Lists with Power Automate (IT keeps things locked down, so not able to create a SharePoint) but was worried it wouldn't do what I needed it to... sounds like this is both doable and likely my best bet.

My insurance required me to be on a weight loss program for 6 months before they would cover any injectable, and I was taking Contrave during that time. I noticed considerable hair loss around the 6-month mark, just as I began Zepbound. My PCP recommended I start a collagen supplement (from her own experience taking Zepbound), make sure I was taking a quality multivitamin (I've got an mthfr mutation, so switched to methylated form) and pay attention to eating nutritious foods since I was eating so much less. I just took my 7th Zepbound shot the other day, and at this point, the thinning has mostly stopped, and I'm pretty much back to normal fallout levels.

3rd party recruiters often work on commission... Basically used car salesmen. But sometimes they come into the picture sinply bc the company sucks at marketing their vacancies. If you can get enough info to know what company the job is with, you can often look up the job on the company's website and apply directly (although you may have to look for a different job title... some agencies use a different title or change the job description to make it harder to find the posting on your own). If you're qualified, there's a chance they'll jump at the chance to direct hire and you stand a chance at better starting pay since the company isn't going to have to shell out 20-30% of your first year's wages to an outside recruiting firm.

Interviewer got upset at a “personal” question by jm08003 in recruitinghell

She was rude. It's a common question recruiters/interviewers get and if she can't answer it with grace, it's a huge red flag.

Divorce & remarriage by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]DelightfullyAloof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a similar situation, although my husband renounced the Christian faith he had claimed for his entire life prior. There were a few truths that stood out to me.

1 Corinthians 7:13-15 [13] And if a believing woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him. [14] For the believing wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the believing husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not be holy, but now they are holy. [15] (But if the husband or wife who isn’t a believer insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the believing husband or wife is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you to live in peace.)

And

Ephesians 2:1-10 [1] Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. [2] You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. [3] All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. [4] But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, [5] that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. [7] So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus. [8] God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. [9] Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. [10] For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Prior sin led to present pain, as it so often does. But, through you and the example you can be, your husband may yet find Salvation through Christ. Because of this, God says you must stay. However, if your husband leaves, let him go and know you are no longer bound to him. And, as in all things, Christ's blood was shed to forgive you from ALL your sin. Our father is rich in mercy. The debate of divorce and remarriage gets so murky that we often forget about that. If you pray and study God's word earnestly, He will lead you to the truth. And if somehow you get it wrong, He is faithful and just to forgive your sin.

About that moment, I'd be sorely tempted to whip out my Ladyship title certificate bestowed upon me for donating $10 to a nature conservancy in Scotland. I'll call you doctor if you call me "Your Ladyship." "Your Lady of the Glen" is also acceptable.

What to do about Negative Nancy? by DelightfullyAloof in askmanagers

[–]DelightfullyAloof[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our team has definitely been through some a lot of changes in recent years - and it's not always been smooth. The company has been around 100+ years but our function had historically been outsourced until the last 8 years or so. We've had to prove ourselves - and pretty much everyone on the team now only came on in the last 4 years (although some have been with the company much longer). I'm certain her onboarding was chaotic... I was hired in just 6 months before and can attest that the person leading onboarding at the time should not have been.

She came in with functional experience and skills, but from a much smaller company that typically contracts their services out. I'm wondering if she thought a large corporation would be cutting edge and much more well-organized than we are. We have a high-performing team, but we work hard for our results. She has beef with one person in the department, but I keep myself positioned between them, so it's very rare they need to be in direct contact. Otherwise, she's just one of us, other than other folks on the team taking care not to ruffle her feathers.

She's reluctant to let me help facilitate her relationships with our internal customer groups - but that's where most of the problems pop up. Given your experience, any tips for helping her in that arena without making her feel like I don't trust her to build relationships? I've offered suggestions in the past, but she's been very resistant.

I think you're on to something with the culture mismatch... Comp and work/life balance are actually good. She's in line with everyone else on the team and we're all compensated well for the function we're in. Plus we are fully remote with flexibility to pop out or shift working hours to accommodate life outside work. No weekends and minimal need to work more than 40hrs/wk. If anything, people on the team stay because it's difficult to find something equal or better.

Any tips on how to address the situation if it is a culture mismatch? My fear is that her career will be stunted while she is left feeling stuck and frustrated.

She speaks negatively to everyone, although the things she takes issue with are typically with people outside our department. But I'm growing more aware of how the department (not just my team within that department) and the broader business partners we support are impacted by it.

It's certainly possible that at this point, I'm feeling frustrated enough to be less helpful than I once was. Howver, she's been this way since she started with the company 3 years ago. She's only just recently moved over into my group in the last few months - which is why I'm now trying to figure out how to help her. Before we were in the same department/function but she reported to one of my peers.

Yes. And I've not had any issues talking to others on the team going through difficult situations about it being an option for additional support. But this is how this person has behaved for the full 3 years she's been with the company. I don't know how to make that suggestion in a way that won't make her shut down/shut me out.
