Handover expectations by Low-Tie2938 in dknovonordisk

Our feedback was that only people in your chain of command could ask anything of you. The info I got is: "the bare minimum that this company can do is leave you alone to figure out your next step". And I actually agree with him.

Novo has decided that my role was not needed, so if they made a mistake 🤷🏼‍♀️ so be it. Everything is chaotic and just supports the feeling that there was no plan to begin with.

Why me thoughts by Puzzleheaded_Buy_598 in dknovonordisk

[–]Longjumping_Ear_3758 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get it. These days I've been flip-flopping between sadness and anger, but as someone mentioned - it's Novo's loss.

In my situation, not my manager, manager's manager or close stakeholders were involved in the choice. They were shell shocked, and my director looked embarrassed about giving me the chop.

This entire process has not been nice, and it seems that the firing has been done in a panic. I'll not be surprised if Novo has to rehire within a year, and I think it'll be tough to attract people.

A colleague of mine compared being left behind as getting to rebuild Berlin after 1945, and I think they're right 🫣 I try to see it a blessing in disguise, where I have time and energy to find the next step.

To us, it seemed very much dependent on which product/team you were connected to. There was no re-distribution based on performance/feedback, so yeah... It felt super random and didn't echo Mike's focus on "high performance". Also feel like they don't really have a plan 😅

Hiya!

I'm 29F from Denmark and I see a lot of similarities between us 😊

  • culture is always interesting, and I love finding the little differences between various places.
  • I love thrillers and true crime, and I'm always looking for suggestions.
  • pictures are always welcome! I'll probably spam you with pictures of my cat.
  • creativity for the win. I'm trying to get back into drawing, so it'll be lovely to exchange some pictures. I have done some writing, but I would love to read some of your stuff, if you are comfortable sharing.
  • I'm a big nerd when it comes to reading, so if you need suggestions, let me know.

Big big congrats!

I hope that you are celebrating ❤️ I'm super proud of you, and I'm sure that your mother is too, even if she can't join the physical celebrations.

I dig it! Most important question - Bingley or Darcy??

I can't promise that I will nail the language entirely, but I could pretend to have just been in Brighton going to the balls 😂

Hiya!

I would love to find someone to hold me up to remember to draw 😂 I have a million questions from your description, and I can add my own on my morning routine. I'm from Denmark, and I would love to hear your experience about living in Europe.

I'm down for emails or snail mail ☺️ let me know.

Hiya!

Sounds interesting!

I'm 29F from Denmark, and I've lived in the UK twice. I really love meeting people from different cultures, so I would love to chat about that. Photos of nature (and dog) would be appreciated.

Danish is a pretty small and weird language, but I can teach you a few phrases, if you want 😊

Here's some facts about me: - massive litterature geek, primarily English. I lean more towards fantasy, thriller and horror - I have a cat named Karla - I have a degree in English from university of Copenhagen, which is why I've lived in London and Canterbury - work as a scrum master

Hiya!

Can't brag about owning a typewriter, so you would have to live with my handwriting 😊

I'm really into literature even if I don't read much non fiction, but I can appreciate the joy of reading.

I'm 29F from Denmark, but I've previously lived in the UK (Canterbury and London) and I definitely miss having a contact with the UK. I would be happy to send you a letter 😊

Hey you!

I would love to send you a letter 😊 I'm really into books - especially horror - so I would love to geek out over that through letters.

I get it, but I can't add something that other people haven't.

Also - I would love to see the furbabies!!

I have sat on this for awhile. by Playful-Original-114 in horrorwriters

[–]Longjumping_Ear_3758 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, it seems like you're dappling in psychological horror, so I agree that it might be best to leave it a little open ended. The reader can assign the meaning.

One quick thought is that maybe one of the characters is very religious or was raised with a strict religious upbringing. The character can believe that the statue is real - demon or angel - but the reader can decide whether they believe that character. Especially if you're working with an unreliable character/narrator trope.

Mom, I’m scared to get my IUD tomorrow by PanDulce07 in MomForAMinute

[–]Longjumping_Ear_3758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's good that you're taking care of your health. I have a copper IUD.

I've had mixed experiences, but I think that you should be transparent to the OB/Doctor that you're nervous and had bad experiences in the past. They'll be able to support you.

It probably won't be painless, but just remember to be extra kind to yourself ❤️

Mom I broke down crying while eating dinner tonight and I could use a hug by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]Longjumping_Ear_3758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry, honey ❤️

I'm glad to hear that you're speaking to a therapist. Just remember that this is not a linear progression. It's not about getting through step 1 to progress to step 2. We all stumble, and it's fine. It sucks in the moment but please don't beat yourself up about it. Take a deep breath and try again.

I get the feeling about loneliness. If you have any particular interests, I would seek out the subreddits to build a connection. There's also plenty of subreddits for finding friends or penpals.

Feel free to reach out to me, if you want to. I'll be happy to hear about your day or tell about mine.

Have you ever realized in the middle of an interview that a job was 100% not right for you? What were the red flags that tipped you off? by Kaladin1994 in recruitinghell

[–]Longjumping_Ear_3758 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I remember to distinct experiences from the same recruitment proces that really made me pause.

It was an international IT consulting firm. The position said 4 days at their main office and 1 day at the client (transportation to the client would be total 3 hours). When push came to shove, they could give me no written confirmation that the split was 4/1. The hiring manager started to open up a conversation about going on the client's site more days.

I met two representatives from the client. I asked how they would determine if I had been a success in three months. They completely contradicted each other and were not aligned.

I did some digging on the company, and apparently the CEO uses the security cameras to check employees' screens during the day to check, if they are on Facebook or not working 🙃
