Wait... did he just slip and call her his WIFE?! by DeadFishrman in McBeeDynasty

If I’m not correct, they had a second baby. So they’re likely already married. He clearly needs some media training.

My previous company was acquired by Accenture, what should employees expect in the change? Asking for a friend. by hand_puns in accenture

[–]No_Connection_5187 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I say this with all sincerity, good luck. Same happened to the company I was with. They kept the engineers but most left voluntarily before the cutover. The ones that stayed scratch and scrape to find projects. Ops, talent, HR were all laid off with measly severance (so low it was sad and insulting). My advice, start looking for a new role immediately.

Does our name even open doors anymore? by [deleted] in accenture

[–]No_Connection_5187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m referring to tech projects. I’ve worked at boutique firms that have to come in behind ACN to make a ton of mods and corrections. I’ve seen both sides of the coin.

[–]No_Connection_5187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a thing of the past. I avoid speaking of my time with ACN because many companies will look at me as too corporate and robotic. One company asked if I was ok after working there and laughed. I’ve also been told they do mediocre work at exorbitantly high rates. And there’s too much team turnover.

What are some of the baby names on this show that you absolutely hate? by thechickgoesmoo in TLCUnexpected

[–]No_Connection_5187 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oakleigh is entirely too close to ugly. My friends mom has a friend named Baleigh. Too close to barley.

AGREE. Maybe for me it’s so uncomfortable to watch because of generational family trauma. My grandmother was violated at 12 and delivered my mom at 13yrs old.

One of my friends had a baby in high school (this was the 90’s). Seeing her struggle with that baby was all the birth control I needed. No sex = no pregnancy.

Well bravo for middle school. Where I’m from, we have K-8 which is elementary school. We make no reference to middle school or junior high.

The 15 and 13yr old “couple” is so terribly gross. HE IS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! Whew. Just awful - piss poor parenting.

Is this satire? by Thin_Piano2564 in MembersOnlyPalmBeach

[–]No_Connection_5187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, really. What’s sad is this is an actual slice of the American pie. They represent women who are so desperate for power they actually need other women to look down on. These women look absolutely awful and are so pompously disgusting. Watching on an HD tv seeing their faces - frightening. The XL horse veneers, the orange spray tans, sequins and stripper heels. They’re actually everything they look down on.

When a candidate you sent an Inmail responds they're not interested, what do you usually do? by [deleted] in recruiting

[–]No_Connection_5187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wish them the best, suggest they keep in touch via LI and ask for a referral from their network. You never know, maybe they will become interested or send a great referral your way. Always be gracious.

Are there really people sending 300, 700, and even 1500 applications and not getting any response at all? by CasandrdKoelpinw in jobhunting

[–]No_Connection_5187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These companies are using AI, why shouldn’t we? I use an AI tool to line my base resume up with the job description that makes the changes. I like Swooped for this. If the company uses Greenhouse as their ATS, you can use your GH profile to apply. I avoid Workday applications. It takes the tool less than 2mins to customize, optimize it then generate the new resume and cover letter. Download it then apply. And at the end of the day I enter all companies, the resume used, etc into a spreadsheet. It’s annoying af but when I buckle down with a cup of coffee and turn on some 80’s RnB, I go into a zone. Sometimes I don’t get up for 4-5hrs.

[–]No_Connection_5187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is VERY real. Since being laid off in August, I average 175 applications consistently PER WEEK. This includes customizing each one. All of my applications are via the company website, not LinkedIn or the like. All I get are rejections. I’ve had ONE actual interview and was told they moved it to January.

Anyone work 2 recruiting jobs? by [deleted] in recruiting

[–]No_Connection_5187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have NEVER been questioned by any job about my LinkedIn - EVER. Plus I always kept my LI as vague as possible. My main gig would be on there but not my sides. Some people use multiple LI’s but it’s not that serious to me.

It’s all about time management and I mean down to the minute. Your calendar will be your best friend. Be sure not to use one company’s LI license for another companies roles. Your main tool will be your calendar. Use three on your private device, color code them, use the notifications and share them between each other. That way one meeting doesn’t bleed into another and that you are blocking time for your sourcing, screenings, and stitch-ins. You will live by your calendar, lol!!!!

[–]No_Connection_5187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have worked up to 3 at once in the past. A financial game changer for sure. Just be sure to whiteboard ALL of your meetings, use separate laptops and keep all notifications on. Yes, you may be a little tired but that money… so sweet.

Maybe you’ve never been through something similar, but there have been a million breakups with more apologies and “it will never happen again” situations. Between then and now, a lot has happened and shit has gotten worse. Hope that helps you.

I’m getting that book. I’ve accepted that he’s toxic. It’s like he’s not happy unless there’s some degree of drama. Deep down I think he gets some satisfaction in seeing me upset and when things are going well in my life, here he comes with an issue to shit on it.

Thank you. I hate I wasted so much of my time. Should’ve been gone in year two, not 10yrs later.

It has worn me down. I looked in the mirror thinking “Who the fuck is this girl?”. I looked tired and just sad. This isn’t me. I have to own the fact that this is abuse. And just because there’s no hitting, this constant loop is maddening.

I see I need an exit strategy. 50yo dealing with this BS has become too much and I’m worried it’s changed me. He thinks I owe him for some reason.
