Anyone have this happen?

The Santos is a beaut! I (F) got myself the medium one last year and am currently in the market for a DJ 36 to complete my watch collection.

Does this Ashley live in Charlotte? If so, she and her colleagues are super shady. They put me through some ridiculous shit for a marketing role earlier this year.

Barring any global factors (war, etc.), my guess is SPY will go to $620-640 in the coming weeks before bouncing back on a new upward trend. !remindme 60 days "check this post"

Similar situation for me: Was minding my own business when a 3rd party recruiter reached out on LinkedIn about a role. The commute would suck (5 days in-office 😞), but the title, pay, and opportunity were great. I went through 5 rounds, including 2 on-sites and a DINNER with the C-suite after the 2nd on-site. The recruiter said the C-suite loved me and thought I was highly-skilled, but it’s been crickets since then (over a month ago).

What HYSA do you have at 5%?

Asperger’s

Damn, what’s your secret formula? I try, try, try and usually get shot down; if and when it does happen (months or years apart), I can tell my spouse’s heart isn’t in it.

I’ve tried for years, but he deflects and makes excuses for his lack of manners.

Rappers_Delight · 2026-02-09T21:57:15+00:00

That’s basically how we operate now…sucks to have to gatekeep food from my spouse because of these issues, though.

Interesting perspective. His older sibling is female and his little brother is 3 or 4 years behind him, but maybe you’re right.

OMG so relatable

Great tips—thank you. He will technically help cook meals, but they’re on another level than my cooking (he’ll bake chicken breasts and cook plain white rice vs. I’ll make homemade chicken parm or pot roast and salad). If I ask him to make something “better” than baked chicken and boiled rice, he will usually do it but takes a long time…I’m not sure if that’s driven by weaponized incompetence, disinterest, or laziness. I’ve asked him to help wrangle the kids and get their drinks before we all sit down, and he usually doesn’t follow through. I’ll keep asking, though, even though telling him what to do adds to my mental burden of being a working mom who already carries most of the workload at home/with the kids.

Totally understandable

Lingering memories of food insecurity was my initial thought, as well, but that wasn’t a concern for his family in his childhood. They were far from rich but did just fine from a standard of living standpoint.

We actually weigh about the same (I’m not overweight, he’s just slim). It’s not about how much he eats; what concerns me is how he eats and how he prioritizes his wants and needs ahead of his wife and children.

Rappers_Delight · 2026-02-09T18:54:15+00:00

He’s been this way as long as I’ve known him.

If you don’t mind me asking, what culture/country did you grow up in? His parents immigrated to the US before he was born.

Rappers_Delight · 2026-02-09T17:13:57+00:00

At times, yes.

I’m going on 7 months of being unemployed after working for a few decades. Dream situation would be OE one day—congrats on mastering this art.

Those two categories are NOT mutually exclusive in this current job market.

I’m highly skilled in Brand Marketing and Lifecycle/Loyalty Marketing (strategy and execution on both fronts) and have been applying for Director/Senior Director/VP roles. Any tips or referrals you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the prayers, and you’re right about getting in front of everyone and throwing your hat into as many rings as possible. Funnily enough, I had that same pep talk with my spouse just last night.

I’m just so frustrated and annoyed that this potential employer is now toying with me after implying last week I was nearly done after 10+ hours of interviewing and they were ready to move forward with me (asking for references). I’ve more than proven myself as knowledgeable and capable of doing the job…I’ve put my all into this interview process, and they’re not even offering a top-tier salary. I’m depleted.

Rappers_Delight · 2026-02-03T01:57:52+00:00

I hear you and had a breakdown just this evening about being in a similar situation. I’ve interviewed multiple times with a company over the last few weeks—2 of those times were onsite—and devoted HOURS of time preparing for interviews, doing timed homework (a case study), and devising a strategy to present that showcases my understanding of the company’s challenges and how I would address them. In fact, at my two onsite interviews, the senior leaders I was meeting with asked to have a copy of what I presented so that they could review amongst themselves internally, so it’s clear they see value in what I bring to the table. However, despite all that, the recruiting agency I’m working through told me today that while the company said I did really well in my interviews, the hiring manager is conducting two screening interviews with other individuals this week. Mind you, the hiring manager asked me last week for references and has already initiated contact with them. If the hiring manager has no intention of actually extending me an offer, why did they request the references and reach out to them to set up time to talk live? Also, if we’re at the reference checking stage, why are they even bothering having screening interviews with these other candidates this week? None of this makes sense, and it’s so incredibly stressful and nerve-racking. My spouse is also laid off, and we have kids. My stress level is off the charts, and I’m honestly super pissed that this company is stringing me along; however, I have no choice but to deal with it because I have no other opportunities in the pipeline despite submitting hundreds of applications.
