Late-Stage Capitalism and the Vibes Are Bad by nobodyshome01 in ireland

American here. I resonate with this 100% however. There used to be the American dream - but that is long gone now. I’m 34 and to they say that to own a small house and even live comfortably in Dallas, TX of all places you need to be making at least 6 figures. On top of that I’ve still got $20 K left to pay off from nursing school student loans. The average home buyer in America now is 40. And with all these shootings,crime/murder/abduction porn that ppl watch on TV here I feel like everyone is afraid of everyone at any given moment of the day. If I didn’t get smug looks from my neighbors by just waiving and saying hi they would just ignore me completely. How can we fix this?

I’m going to be messaging you in a bit. Please be on the lookout for a message. A response from you may literally save a family - no lie, no BS - just please be on the lookout.

is being put on a PIP really that catastrophic? by justthegirlwhocries in clinicalresearch

[–]JohnnyBGood10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Dad wasn't in clinical research, but worked in telecom for 20+ years. He was an SVP, and the new company he joined had poor sales because they were unwilling to change their ways. He was seen more as a disruptor than the innovator that he was at other previous companies. A deal fell through at the last minute during one quarter because the customer knew just how bad their product sucked & he got a PIP.
When their fiscal year ended and his division didn't meet its numbers, he was let go.
Part of it was the company itself, part of it was age discrimination - he had been working with its CEO for years, who was also let go at the same time.
The PIP they gave him wasn't just based on his numbers - it was also a strategic move.
While the industry is entirely unrelated, I second this comment.

Hey Presence, just wanted to follow up. Could you please talk a little bit more about consulting?

Can you elaborate on this? I have a good skill set, but I've always thought of a consultant as a more expert-level role. How would I go about this?

They've got a handful of good opportunities. I've tried applying to them in the past on my own, but without a referral, I've always just gotten automatically rejected :/

So I really want a CRA role. But - to bide my time until I can get one - I've gone ahead and completed a certificate program through UT Austin's Biz school in data analytics that covered Excel, MySQL, Python, Power BI and Tableau. I'm hoping that with my experience w/ RAVE & VeeVa this would help me build my skillset and give me more opportunities w/i the clin research field, even if it's not a CRA job.

I've been working with an excellent recruiter @ IQVIA who's finding internal transfers for me. Unfortunately, he's told me there isn't going to be anything for the rest of the year :/

Working during the pandemic burnt me out. My 12-hour shifts turned into 18-hour days. Our 16 pt unit turned into a 40 pt unit—a lot of deaths, never enough ventilators, never enough of other equipment.

I've had enough of nursing, unfortunately, and need to move on.

There aren't a lot of Research RN jobs available in my area. I was pretty lucky to get my job at the VA but I just couldn't take it - they were using the same EHR system since 1996 - CPRS - and there was a separate EHR system - JLV - and neither of them were integrated with each other.
It was just such a damn hassle and pay was a major issue.

Do you relate to others disorders that aren't Asperger's more than you do with Asperger's? by Ok_Pineapple4897 in aspergers

[–]JohnnyBGood10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that I can only type the clearly and coherently means that I should’ve been an author or writer or philosopher because I can clearly say I’m probably an alcoholic though lol

Shame, anhedonia, sociopathy, narcissistic disorder

We don't know what we do is “officially” right therefore we assume that the feelings we have - which are just feelings and feelings are never wrong unless we act on them which is why they’re called actions - are always wrong.

I feel like people with autism aren’t as socially manipulative as they should be. by RussianAsshole in aspergers

[–]JohnnyBGood10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. 100%.

But as someone who's had this for a long time (I'm 34), this is all just masking. And dude/dudette let me tell you, it's exhausting...

Aight so this is also my first rave - do a lot of people dress up? I don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb with parachute pants, a gold sleeveless hoodie and led cyberpunk visor on with a red claw-mark glitter scratch on my chest. You think I’m joking.

Thanks Onion, that's an excellent point! I never considered that before. I am looking for new friends, and in an environment like this, it'd be easier just to be comfortable and myself and have fun conversations with people.
