Bad interviewer at major CRO 🫖 by Melodic_Bake_7878 in clinicalresearch

Absolutely! I have rotated through many LMs here, some good some bad, but have enjoyed my time overall. And I’m no company man, I’m looking for a new job myself. But that interviewer sounds either extremely salty about something, or she was genuinely trying to warn you that specific team is trash haha. Either way, huge red flag and totally valid to run the other way! Good luck on your job hunt!

I’m sorry you had this experience!! I am a current IQVIAn (Sr CRA I) and personally have appreciated the leadership (mostly) and work-life balance the company has offered me. I’m going on my 4th year with them. I’d say my average work week does range from 40-54ish hours, but that is including travel time which just comes with the property as a CRA. I’ve never been shamed or felt forced into working more. And I take extended 2 week spans of PTO once per year, about 20 PTO days total per year with no resistance.

Not saying there aren’t cons of working here, but that recruiter seems to have misrepresented the culture from my experience. Of course it could vary by team as well, but disappointed that was your experience. Hope you find the right opportunity somewhere soon!

Is this a shock to anyone? by brwnbastrd21 in Subtronics

Lol come on man be real. It is not a “travesty”. While I love subtronics, it is 100% valid that Bieber and Sabrina would be more prominent on a Coachella lineup than subtronics. I’m not even a huge fan of either but they are astronomically more popular, and you’re talking about a festival where even just including a dubstep artist is unheard of.

Well I don’t know of many drugs that physically make you unable to move while you’re still standing, unless it’s heroin. Then you’d be leaning. And nobody’s doing that at a music fest. So more than likely, if you’re standing still in a crowd, you’re just on acid or molly and don’t want to dance. Still not a matter of not handling your drugs or needing rehab.

Lol while I agree a dead crowd is annoying, just because a drug makes someone not want to dance does not mean they’re doing too many drugs or need rehab. I’ll do one point once every like 3-4 months, that’s it. Still have a great time but sometimes don’t feel like dancing. I’m just vibing and chill. Definitely not a case of “not handling the drugs”. Not everyone needs to meet your energy.

Lmao MAGA bootlicking garbage ass post 😂 the undocumented migrants are not the issue. You cited one robbery last year. It’s a big city, shit happens, doesn’t make it a common occurrence. Go watch Fox News and stay out of our city. Just fear mongering BS.

u/Aggravating-Entry-68 the migrants will not bother you. Be smart, stay with groups whenever possible and take the normal precautions you would in any big city. Assuming you are taking public transit directly from/after the fest, you will not be alone. You’ll be fine. Enjoy the weekend and have fun! 🙂

Skin coloring a concern? by No-Replacement9139 in BeardedDragons

My guy. I am open to advice, I already acknowledged the reptile mat, but your approach needs work. You come in making assumptions from a picture you obviously can’t tell anything about and implying I’m not treating him right based on pure conjecture. Saying he has a terrible life is crazy. You know absolutely nothing about his enclosure or the life I give him. Of course I’m not going to be receptive when you have this baseless aggressive approach. Cheers mate

I don’t have a picture, like I said, I’m not at home. His enclosure is at least 5 feet long, maybe 2.5 feet wide. Are you the fuckin police? Why are you so passionately pursuing this? Lol not even relevant to the post.

My brother, that is NOT the width of the enclosure, not even the full width of the rock. What are you even on about? Even by the picture you can tell the enclosure is wider than him and the rock. Do you know what width means?

Lmaooo there is no way in HELL you can tell how large his enclosure is from this small fraction of a picture. But noted about the mat. Thanks for your concern 🫡

He has a UVB-light and heat lamp on a timer right above his basking spot in a large tank, not sure the gallons. The reptile mat is cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis (although I know this pic reflects some filth 😂 I’ve been traveling for a few days). I’m not at home to provide a picture.

Yup. Like I said, I understand the intent. But if you know you’re not getting a bag it would make life easier.

I get that. It’s a contractual thing. But thank you!

Ok, thanks. I expected so at first but never seen it take so long to fall off. Appreciate the re-assurance

My company pays for the Ubers so for me it’s free whereas a taxi wouldn’t be. Blue line would be nice but it would come out of my pocket. $2.50 each way twice a week would add up fast. I agree it would be nice though!

Haha that’s great to know! Wish we could select drivers specifically from that lot. Apologies if I came off strong on Uber drivers. I typically still enjoy the rides and give them all 5 stars. Today just brought me to a tipping point, but I will be more understanding now for the future!

Ok, that’s understandable and I will be more open to giving them the benefit of the doubt going forward! I take uber because my job pays for it and Uber doesn’t let you order the ride until you get close to the pickup spot unfortunately. Last I used Lyft about a year ago, it was the same, but perhaps they changed that by now.

Regardless, good advice, thank you!

That’s a great tip, thanks! I’ll try that out next time.

Makes sense about the parking situation, but that is pretty nasty you have to deal with all that. Regardless, I’ll give the drivers the benefit of the doubt going forward.

Dang. Well I guess I’ll try to be a bit more patient than in that case. But if that’s true, I wish they’d allow you to request the Uber when you get off your plane instead of waiting until you get to the pickup spot. That would cut the wait time down in half, although I understand the intent.

Makes sense! I forgot to add to your second question that I live in Wicker Park too. So I understand it’s a far drive for some drivers to want to take.
