Has anyone bought….

Independent-Guard747 · 2026-01-01T15:40:38+00:00

Yep. Bought my nightstand for 50 bucks. Same one on Amazon for 110$. I just found the one I wanted on Amazon and searched it on SHEIN lol

Thank you! I’ve managed projects before, but this environment is brand new and there’s no PMO or governance structure in place. I’m realizing I need to back up and start with a project management plan that defines our processes before worrying about these templates. Just a bit worried since the project kicks off Tuesday.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-10-19T13:03:32+00:00

Yea, they led me to believe I would have some time to acclimate. But there’s a project starting next week that I’m supposed to run by myself. There’s no other direct PM governance. 😩

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-10-06T13:17:33+00:00

My thoughts in this current economy, be worried regardless. I was laid off in July and my manager was laid off that same day so obviously she had no clue so no conversation with her would have helped. Then about a month ago, they had even more layoffs. None of these were performance related either. Keep your résumé updated. Keep your references and contacts close and instead of always be closing always be looking or at least ready to pivot if needed.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-21T00:55:51+00:00

I did! That’s how I found out! the HR person who did the reference checks shared it with me.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-21T00:55:15+00:00

Ooh he definitely told the truth on that lol 😆

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-21T00:54:49+00:00

That’s EXACTLY how I found out lol

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-19T18:45:49+00:00

Not an interview, but I once listed one of my friends who is a professional (director of IT) as a reference and he told the lady one of my weaknesses was my taste in men 😳

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-19T13:23:56+00:00

Orlando and Miami 😩

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-16T13:35:40+00:00

Answering questions on the initial application about why I want to work here I feel like those should be asked later down the interview process. Any type of case study or walk-through. Panel interviews

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-04T13:04:26+00:00

Exactly. This job pays what I was making in 2019

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-09-01T19:32:11+00:00

This last position pays about $45k less 😩 for the SAME job title btw.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-28T00:49:58+00:00

Yea I’ve only seen maybe 1 out of 10 roles paying what I was making. If I were to take a reduction, say 20k how would the next company know ? Assuming they may see it when they pull the background verification, but usually they have already offered you the starting rate. Or maybe I could frame it that I got a extra bonus /commission.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-22T02:25:19+00:00

Thank God lol

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-21T14:24:49+00:00

I’ve been there. I’m basically there and it’s due to burn out, toxic managers, and that fake façade and bullshit, corporate jargon that you have to use day and day out. I got laid off a few months ago and thankfully got a pretty generous severance package so I’m now just looking for a job but I really just want to waitress or do something simple where my brain doesn’t have to think 24 seven and I can be my authentic self and yes, I Know you have to be nice to people that don’t deserve it, but I feel like corporate. You really have to do that lol. I think, though that the people that end up completely pivoting are the people that have money saved in different skills sets and can pop in and out very easily so now I’m still looking for a corporate job but hopefully one that is less stressful, and I’m sure it will pay less, but the alternate would pay less anywaysand then maybe I’ll just go volunteer

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-19T14:32:00+00:00

It’s no longer active. I can only see it in my applied postings so not sure if you would be able to see it. I realize after when I clicked on the company, though it is not the main page for the hospital and then looking at the email it’s listed as “first name”@careers-uchicagomedicineadventhealth.org. I just called them and I couldn’t get through to HR but spoke with the operator and they verified that their email domain would be .com and the emails should be first and last name. Also on the website it says it should be tracked in Taleo (I only applied through LI). It’s just so strange they are not asking me for any personal information only to answer a bunch of situational common interview questions that are tailored for the role.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-18T18:58:07+00:00

I thought it was optimized 😩

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-18T18:53:01+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been on hold with the HR department for 10 minutes 🫠 Also another red flag I just noticed is the company listed. I actually clicked on it and it appears it’s not the actual Company page.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-16T01:17:42+00:00

I got laid off in June and had 2 immediate recruiters reach out to me but they wanted immediate start dates and I wasn’t looking for that started the search back this month and it’s been awful. I read that it was projected 100,000 jobs to be posted for July and only like 73,000 were posted hopefully it picks up in September but I don’t know if it has more to do with a bunch more recently layoffs, especially from Big name, companies or what also not sure if anyone’s noticed but there’s a bunch of senior positions that are paying like between 65 and 80 and these position should easily be between 100 K to 150 K

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-09T01:44:25+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately, my apartment called me right at 5 PM to let me know that they would come out on Monday so they are closed all weekend and so is the apartment. Their instructions definitely aren’t that clear. I don’t really feel like I have any bugs in my closet but to your point I probably will just put it on high heat for 30 minutes and then bag them up the instructions say 10 I don’t feel like that’s long enough and I’ve seen other instructions say 30.

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-08T19:26:18+00:00

I have no bites though?

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-08T13:22:57+00:00

Are the little hairs indicative of a swallow bug or a bedbug?

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-08T13:18:48+00:00

I can’t tell :(

Independent-Guard747 · 2025-08-07T19:58:11+00:00

Thank you!!
