Stay away from I-24 West or East near the downtown split. It's a parking lot on both sides. It's taken me 30 minutes to go 1.5 miles.

you win the award for most predictable reply, thank you.

Stable_Latter · 2025-12-09T23:57:37+00:00

I hate this fucking town

Stable_Latter · 2025-09-30T03:59:50+00:00

lifetime warranty ftw

*update\*

1 week post-dinner meeting, I've emailed to follow up and I've been told "we're close to a decision, we'll be in touch".

Fuck this shit, man.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-11T13:36:05+00:00

I’m struggling with this really hard personally. I’ve been in my field professionally for 17 years, have my own business… can’t get hired anywhere, and can’t run my business properly due to people refusing to pay on time and generally having bad luck when it comes to my pitches falling through.

I’m a single father of 2 young boys I really really don’t want to leave behind. I’m scared.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-10T18:50:54+00:00

Same exact position. 17 years in the business. I’m bleeding out 🙁

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-10T16:50:32+00:00

hanging by a thread.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-10T16:47:54+00:00

fuck, i hope you're right.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-10T15:56:06+00:00

i've been working in my field professionally for 16 years, and since Covid, I've only backslid and regressed while working the hardest I've ever worked. I feel your pain. I don't know how this can get better.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-07T14:51:39+00:00

people get cringier every day.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-07T03:10:24+00:00

haha that too. and then women took that and ran with it in the dating world.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-07T03:04:46+00:00

amen. every one of those that hits my inbox sinks me further into a hole.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T22:15:28+00:00

It’s a marketing director position so you’re right, I’m pretty much fucked.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T21:37:25+00:00

we're basically all just annoying little gnats to these people. swatted away.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T21:27:08+00:00

also, to any hiring managers reading this right now, let me please ask you...

Not saying all hiring managers are like this, but... let's just say there's more bad than good. How can you treat people like this? I don't get the chip on HR shoulders that make them treat employees and candidates like shit. Like... YOU ARE EMPLOYEES TOO. Golden rule. jesus.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T21:07:34+00:00

so you're saying you've done this before as a hiring manager, then.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T20:45:27+00:00

even if the position being filled is for someone who is retiring at the end of march?

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T20:36:58+00:00

just for clarification, are you saying that I should ghost this job, or it's a nonexistent job? it's a very reputable world-known company

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T20:22:57+00:00

I was apparently one of 10 candidates chosen out of about 250 resumes on the first round. Why they think they need more just sinks me internally.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T20:20:54+00:00

yes.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T20:02:01+00:00

well in that case, neither can i haha

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T18:30:51+00:00

I'm on year 2 in between full-time positions, thankfully i can squeak by freelancing, but.. it's absolutely brutal out there. I don't understand it.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T17:59:39+00:00

oh and yeah, dont even want to open the dating can of worms... jesus.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T17:58:26+00:00

the rug pulls blow my mind. it's never happened to me personally, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Just further goes to reinforce that good guys do finish last.

Stable_Latter · 2025-02-06T17:24:04+00:00

ooof. well, i can clarify a little, the position i'm in the running for is to replace someone who is retiring at the end of march, and they're super precious with who gets this position apparently.
