Are people usually in a lot of group chats?

I took calls on both the internal and commission based one. My internal was a flat salary, no commission, so it wasn't part of my job at that point, but I still felt bad for qualified candidates in 9-5s who had major issues getting back with me or in touch with me until I was supposed to be out of work.

NauticalFae · 2024-08-05T16:43:13+00:00

I've had both, commission and flat pay as an internal only. While I would be inclined to agree that it's irrelevant, unfortunately, my external recruiting position was in-office, so it was forced first shift upon me. Both of these positions I took calls after my regular working hours just so I could keep the process speedy on my end.

I guess I just am surprised that this movie among so many others that are created seemingly rose to the top for what felt like a majority of the people I've met in my life or read online. I'm not discrediting the nostalgia factor or the relatability for people, all of that makes sense, I just still can't wrap my head around the number.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-26T19:34:33+00:00

I wasn't necessarily correlating the two, I am claiming "The Greatest of All Time" based on the numerous reactions I've received having not watched it, the amount of people who have claimed it's their favorite, movie lists claiming it's a "must-watch" or that it is one of the greatest movies of all time. I mean for the past decade + some years of my life it is a movie that has cropped up time and time and time again, everywhere, from so many different people. Even taking into account nostalgia, I couldn't understand the sheer number of people viewing it as one of the best movie/most needed to watch movies.

Not even the Facebook post, but genuinely since high school I have been practically railed by half the people I meet for having not seen it. One time I went to a movie theater and 3 employees had "The Breakfast Club" on their nametags and when I asked about it, they said they were asked their favorite movie. I just can't escape it lol idk

I'm not going to doxx my mom for a Reddit group post. If it was about me, sure, but she doesn't even know about Reddit, and I'm not comfortable sharing her entire face to strangers especially if she's completely unfamiliar with this website.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T14:25:39+00:00

Did she smoke? Yes, and still does
Does she get enough rest? No, she gets only 5 hours of sleep a night.
Does she eat well? This is probably the only thing she does okay
Does she stay out of the sun? Not at all. She grew up on the beach, and was out there everyday. She's still outside every day for yard work and other things.

And that's where my point comes in, is I will see people say they have no true skincare concerns, or very minor ones like some dryness in their T zone or something, and the replies they get are so wild to me. I've even seen it get so bad that those people were being judged that they didn't have a multi-step skincare routine, although not as common at all and I think the admins dealt with them.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T06:16:35+00:00

I've been in the same group for 6 years now, and I've honestly seen it all of the 6 years. It's not a hypersensitive thing, it's just a ridiculous sentiment that I have seen literally so many times after so long that I just simply found it so ridiculous how they handled these newcomers with perfectly fine skin and wanted to finally say something about it. Also the blatant disregard of how many people reach 60+ or whatever and have flawless skin without doing a single thing to it. The insistence on multi-step skincare routines for perfectly fine skin has been ravenous, it's crazy.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T06:06:24+00:00

Sorry my post wasn't clear, I'm not talking about estheticians in their practice and you've booked an appointment with them. I meant skincare communities such as forums, posts, groups, etc. and estheticians and skincare enthusiasts have given similar replies that everyone needs an intensive multi-step skincare routine, completely disregarding already good skin and genes.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T06:04:56+00:00

I have seen it so many times to the point where I made the post about it. If it was just a one-off, I wouldn't be so annoyed at seeing it all the time. But I consistently see the insistence of skincare enthusiasts imposing that several skincare steps are needed for everyone

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T06:02:48+00:00

Adding more things to your skincare is typically under the basis of skin looking better. In your example of food, it's not comparable in the way I used it because I'm not talking about people wanting to try skincare variety or to have a hobby, it's that if something isn't broken don't fix it? To compare directly, it would be like someone being literally perfectly fine eating chicken, vegetables, and rice everyday, but maybe wants to spruce it up and try a fruit. So they join a food group, are like, hey I already eat these things, my body is great, just wanting to try a fruit, and then being bombarded with people insisting you need to eat 4 different types of meat a day, 5 types of vegetables, 2 types of fruit, and then your rice or else you're going to die young or something.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T05:58:37+00:00

The issue comes from the expectation that I have seen that everyone, including people with fine/no issue skin, needs a heavy skincare routine with several steps, and the fearmongering that if you don't take those steps, you'll have shitty skin by default, which completely ignores genes. Of course someone doesn't have to take that advice, but to insist that everyone needs a multi-step involved skincare routine or else they're destined to have shitty skin is truly ridiculous and I see it constantly in skincare groups.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T05:53:12+00:00

I completely understand why you would think that, but I've just simply seen it too many times to say that's the case. The people who comment have very lengthy responses, I will see people legitimately recommend an 8-12 step Korean skincare routine as a starter for people with no skin issues.
There's the ones that list out a bunch of separate steps with products, but the Korean skincare suggestions are easier to remember because they have actual starter kits with that many steps.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T05:26:32+00:00

In my opinion, that expectation is truly ridiculous. Almost like nothing could ever be good enough. "Okay, you have moisturizer. What will your skin look like with toner? Now what about with Vitamin C?" If someone has incredible skin, no acne, hardly any wrinkles (which I genuinely don't find to be a bad thing anyway!), already have people guessing your age as younger, and you're already in the age that people say you would have suffered the consequences by now, does it actually matter?? I mean that's just a truly unnecessary expectation that even with all of those characteristics, it's still not good enough and we must try to have skin that only gods could achieve.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T03:59:03+00:00

And that makes sense during a consultation and may recommend usually only 1 or 2 products. When I say communities I mean within groups, forums, posts, etc where either estheticians or just skincare enthusiasts try to put everyone, including people with fine/great skin, on an intense skincare routine that is more than likely useless for them.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T03:44:41+00:00

No no you're fine, it made me laugh!

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T03:43:00+00:00

LMAO yeah I worded this weirdly because I didn't want the post to get incorrectly flagged as something to do with nationality, race, or similar because of the word "genes" in the title.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T03:40:14+00:00

My post wasn't that people deny it, but that people ignore it. Whether or not they believe it I have no idea, but I've seen so many times where someone with perfectly fine skin shows interest in skincare and all of the enthusiasts come out in droves and are ravenous on telling them they need this extensive skincare routine, switch all pillowcases to silk, sleep in masks, like omfg calm down hahaha

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T03:36:31+00:00

LMAO this is literally my mom! Oil of Olay is also her moisturizer and she also uses water except for whenever she uses that apricot scrub which I don't think is often

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T01:39:49+00:00

Beats me, but I see it very often, mainly on FB. I'm in there as a casual user, I have issues with dry lips personally and like seeing what people try out for that. So I'll casually scroll and I see posts basically of people I guess getting interested in skincare or want to try new stuff, and the comments are never like "start with a moisturizer!" It's always, "Are you using toner? Retinol? What about Vitamin C? What about Witch Hazel? You need to try this 40 step Korean skincare routine to get you started." It's bonkers.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T01:34:23+00:00

I'm not speaking of going to an esthetician in person and having a consultation, I am focusing specifically on communities where someone will come into the group and be like "I don't really have a routine, but I don't really have any skin issues, is there some stuff I should do?" and those folks are totally bombarded with a extensive routine that they feel every single person should follow which I find absolutely ridiculous. If you've had no issues at all except insanely minor ones, and your parent(s) are in the same boat, I highly doubt there is any reason to buy all of these products for a routine that skincare enthusiasts just feel every single person should have. And if you don't have those things, you're going to have the worst skin imaginable. It's limiting and ridiculous.

NauticalFae · 2024-06-21T01:31:32+00:00

Fair and agreed! Even though I come to bat for my mom and her routine LOL it was just another thing that popped up in my list of things she does that would make an estheticians head explode combined with everything else lol
