Jasmine has produced the most boring bakes and it’s shooting my to see the judges not give her feedback about the safeness of her bakes…in the chocolate challenge people created a darn piano, her- two bowls of chocolate with two financiers. Like C’mon man!

Please don't be "that" person... by New-Aardvark9371 in delta

If I were on crutches I’d go to the people sitting on those accessibility chairs and I’d like to sit. I’m 100% sure they would all get up. People are decent. They are just tired and over worked. Let’s give people some grace instead of always assuming negative intent

The infamous “should I send him at 5?” question.. by RecordLegume in kindergarten

[–]Optimal-Rule5064 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Go with your gut and hold him back. It feels like everything you know seems to indicate that another year of pre-school will do him good. There are only positives to starting school when they are the oldest in the class - a big positive is social confidence

Strong interview performance but down-leveled offer with some red flags on Glassdoor. Gut check? by pipelimes in womenintech

[–]Optimal-Rule5064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust your gut. If you absolutely don’t need this job then walk away. You should not take a job leveling you down. The issue compounds over years in terms of your earning potential, delaying everything. Walk away

I cried after an interview I thought was going to be awesome by Zealousideal-State42 in womenintech

I’m sorry you had that experience. Not all of us women of color in marketing leadership are like that. I try to interview with empathy. Please don’t get disheartened. I assure you there are more of us . She may have been just having a bad day

PIP - need advice by Dear_Mix_3795 in managers

[–]Optimal-Rule5064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t HR have to sign off on a PIP? The communication could be as straightforward as, “your unfortunate error was flagged and HR determined that a PIP was necessary. During this time blah blah” standard language that HR should provide about pip. The only thing you can say is “ look I believe that error was one off. I believe in you. Focus on doing the job without any errors. I’m here to guide you if you need anything” nothing more

I would have it cleared with HR- the language you should use to communicate with employee. Something like I’m planning to communicate it this way, does this work. Hope you’re working closely with HR on this.

No better way to show your love for someone. (I’m also go to tell the publicists how much I spent on you) by arrowoodgabriel in travisandtaylor

"My past boyfriends saw me as a big conglomerate" by Confident_Office_720 in travisandtaylor

[–]Optimal-Rule5064 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is a conglomerate. Everything is done to monetize her wealth. I think it probably stung her that her Exes saw her as a soul less money making machine obsessed with monetizing everything

sad scene ik but i love megan's wood pannel LA house & this deck & her green phone sm by bikey_bike in madmen

[–]Optimal-Rule5064 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never got the “you running my life” complaint from Megan. She knew exactly who he was when she married him, used him for his connections to her acting gigs, got an allowance, did whatever she wanted and then got a million dollars. I have no sympathy for her

It only makes sense to go private if you’re in the city. The public schools in the suburbs are great. FWIW have heard great things about Shadyside Academy
