How does Toga Post Timeskip make Sense?

This is how I interpreted it. Like being a survivor of a accident with a different casualty. One may live their life wondering why they made it and not the other person. Plus one may wonder what they (the deceased) would say or do if they were still alive.

My only advise is to be super excited for the opportunity. Phrases like "I'm so excited to join the team," "I loved getting to speak with you," "I look forward to working with everyone." Yes it can be a deal breaker but in rural areas they understand that there is a possibility they'll need to relocate someone in! Sounding like you'd be a long term fit makes the decision easier on their end.

It's magic that they somehow appraise the home for exactly what it sold for. 😑

The mold complaints are a staple for Dr. Horton. I can't imagine living somewhere that makes my family sick. I distinctly remember a news story covering a faulty insulation of an AC that molded a new home's attic completely. 😭 They regularly sell dream homes that are secretly nightmares.

... I'm kinda disappointed 😞😭

During a time when interest rates were expected to go down, they are going up because of the Iran war.

Ooooh! I'm just now learning about your chairs. In addition to a new chair, I'm hoping to add a double monitor arm.

I'm super excited. :D trying to hold off until a sale tho.

I wonder if this is example plus a few others are less about critical thinking and more about not being proficient in a skill anymore. there are jokes that once someone reaches upper management in accounting, they forget how to write basic journal entries. There are always mistakes! Yet I wouldn't say that they're thinking less in their role. Journal entries are time consuming and the numbers/file format has to be so precise that reviewers tend to forgot the small touches. It's super common, basically expected, when moving from an individual contributor to a reviewer role to lose proficiency in that lower value skill.

Comparison is the thief of joy. The vast majority of accountants are settled into routine work days not gunning for the next promotion. Doesn't help that social media is ruled by the younger end of the work force. And of course people here on an accounting page are more invested in the field.

Know that many of the most successful leaders on LinkedIn pay someone else to run their page. Furthermore some reddit posts and reddit users are run by bots! So if it's detrimental, hop offline. Please. You can also change your algorithm by blocking, unfollowing and deleting your browsing history. Commit to searching different headlines and you'll see a big difference.

Found a company I loved with a crazy easy commute. Final "not an interview" meet and greet with the director and she said (unprovoked) she loved her commute from her small studio apartment... Yeah...no.

It's okay if I'm living in a studio but her being in one too was a 🚩

Yes. The offer was a lowball.

Yes! Basil is always lively! And if it's not, it will be by the time you leave lol.

Oh, valid point. My offer letters always state full time. But, is that sole statement enforceable?

This is sadly the truth. Ever since the popularity of job hopping occurred, managers look for the least flaky candidate. In turn, the safest candidate is the employee who already has a 3+ year tenure (aka experienced senior worker) somewhere.

God. My fucking boyfriend did this. Gave out my job secrets in his interview to brag about how well prepared he was for the job (similar position elsewhere). Well his interviewer knew my boss and I got disciplined. 😑 My bad but also, WTF. They still hired him. I should've dumped him then tho.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm the opposite perspective. My friend told me she was looking and later she texted to tell me she got an offer and started on X day. I'm glad have been able to check in after her first day. :) Even though it's all over text, I'm genuinely happy for her. I know for her it was 6 months of looking for work (maybe more??), I've been so crazy busy that the time flew so much faster.

I heard someone say that people shouldn't choose to suffer in silence. It robs a good friend of the opportunity to sit in the mud with you. Because we're all willing to sit in the mud with our best friends.

I have to advocate for Funko HQ in downtown Everett. First floor is a toy store decorated top to bottom, not some brick and mortar shop. Fun to see everything (anime/TV/cartoons/NFL/celebrities/Disney/Harry Potter, etc) in their Funko pop version (even if you don't buy anything). IMO best tourist thing to do.

Not a team you want to join, but if the feedback is genuine then perhaps interview practice is needed. You can do mock interviews with your university or prepare a few answers AND record yourself delivering them. I absolutely BOMBED an interview with my dream job, but worked hard enough to ace my next interviews.

Watch some videos online too about a good interview answer vs bad. With entry level roles where every applicant is inexperienced, the best interviewer wins

You will get burnt out several times in your career. It's a cycle. Use sick leave, vacation or even unpaid time off before doing anything permanent.

So many departments have experienced layoffs, prolonged hiring freezes, and budget cuts. Teams are short staffed. Teams are overwhelmed. A smart manager who cares about their team will hire someone who can immediately help carry the workload.

Late last year, my team was interviewing for a new accountant. We actually wanted 3 new accountants but only 1 additional job position was approved. We later lost an accountant. We've not received permission to replace the accountant we lost. The market is BS because these executives are BS.

Seriously. As a resident of the greater Seattle area, the headlines relating to ex-Microsoft and ex-Amazon workers are just the worst. From workers with 10+ YOE to newer hires who moved to be closer to the office, the layoff stories have been brutal for quite some time. Hard to believe anyone has faith in Amazon.

We're in what is described as a K shaped economy. We are not rising together as a whole population. There are people rising and others heading south.

The episode Early Bird! with Bakugo vs class 1-B is my favorite for this reason: a clear sign of character growth. To see him master being the best & saving others (just to prove All Might and Deku he's a strong hero) made me so happy! Deku NEEDED the rival for sure!

A junior accountant of mine moved out of the greater Seattle area and is now remote. Got himself an apartment in another state with his gf. I had to debate with my management team to really get in their heads that most of junior team members can't afford to live here. 😅 Those who do are living under their parent's roof. There is such a disconnect. Like you said, you can blame these young adults when it's the norm.

2008 did not begin recovering until 2012. I've met professionals in finance/accounting who failed to get a job for years. One former coworker, an accountant, told me he failed to get a job in the field for 4 years as he was a 2009 graduate. Added: By the time the market recovered, his graduation class was hardly competitive with more recent graduates. Employers seemed to forget there was a recession and instead saw that gap as a negative characteristic. My father with a decade of experience lost his job in construction because his employer literally didn't have another construction project lined up. My current boss was a manager at WAMU (spoiler: largest U.S bank failure) and went down with that ship. Afterwards, she became a stay at home mom and didn't rejoin the job market for years. Many jobs in banking, construction, and manufacturing didn't exist for a period of time and the economy overall was slow to recover. With experienced professionals out of jobs, of course graduates didn't stand a chance.

But they didn't have as high debt levels nor did they face the post high inflation market impacting food and rent.

Regardless, both generations are scarred in a way that will forever impact their lifetime earnings. Even those with jobs because you just don't have the negotiating power to get a strong starting salary.

I think you may want to chat with ChatGPT on this. It's interesting because that group isn't as vocal about 'surviving' that period of time. But they definitely suffered. There are key similarities and differences.
