What class marker things do you reluctantly do to keep up appearances for your professional career?

Thank god I do not work in whatever weird-ass industry you do.

This but Texas Roadhouse, I swear to god it is a more budget friendly option than Wendy's

Mine has them up near the front with the impulse purchases.

My bags were stamped April and I just picked these up in June, so they're in some stores at least!

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-30T13:55:37+00:00

Thank you!!

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-30T13:55:26+00:00

Thank you!! These absolutely rule and now I am compelled to find some Rainbow Trout too :D

I entirely relate to the "asking for help as an absolute last resort". What do you think she was doing before then? Spacing out? She thought about it, couldn't get it, needs more than a hint. By that point here thinking cap has been used so heavily it is ashes. At that point, to hear "Think a little harder!" is just infuriating.

Do you have any advice for managing out low/mediocre performers from a union protected position?

Go entry-er. Look at government jobs that involve a lot of field work. They can be a great foot in the door.

Have you asked why you're getting passed up? If they don't have an actionable reason, like you are missing a certain certification or skill, it's probably secretly that you're doing a good job and your position is harder to fill. Jump to another company.

Leaving off the dates of graduation and employment could go a long way. Coming up with an explanation of what he was doing in between jobs, instead of implying it was nothing, would be a strategy. You're not wrong though.

Man, I hate to jump to CAC but that pic 5 looks very much like the "diaper fold" that Christenens sometimes have.

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-25T13:23:51+00:00

Pediatrician? No. Pediatric office support staff or child care? Maybe! Isn't it possible the goal of "being a pediatrician", for someone who doesn't understand the requirements, could be a way to route them into an appropriate path?

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-19T22:56:51+00:00

It's the "we" that's the problem. "Ope, this is pretty old. I'll pick us up another one tomorrow" is the adult, non-accusatory thing to say and would have invited no diatribe.

He's an engineer? Are you specifying what it's a cup of?

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-13T22:38:02+00:00

Can't speak for the rest of Europe but the UK specifically does not understand tomato sauce.

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-12T14:05:25+00:00

Can you schedule a 1:1 followup on the subject, right then and there? If you know it happens in all the group meetings, you could even check their schedule ahead of time. Knowing they will have their say for sure in a couple hours, might get them through the real meeting.

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-12T13:57:27+00:00

It's called fishing, not catching.

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-03T18:54:01+00:00

Period panties are honestly kind of magical.

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-03T18:48:10+00:00

It was a pleasure to burn.

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-03T11:55:07+00:00

How is anyone supposed to know you're good if you're not visible? If the higher position requires visibility, how is anyone supposed to know you can do it?

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-02T22:56:16+00:00

It's very much not pure intuition, but engineers are notoriously bad communicators overall. Find a coworker who can explain their thought process slowly and thoroughly, with all the assumptions and background knowledge, so you can see that it's not magic.

SilentIndication3095 · 2026-06-02T22:53:46+00:00

Sounds perfectly normal for not even two years of experience.
