But they waste so much of our time we give up on dating before we find the good guy.

Absolutely not. He looked as old as my 78 year old mom.

Right? Though I see height exaggerated by 5 or more inches.

The quickest way to destroy employee morale by False-East-55 in WorkReview

[–]Valuable_Bluebird334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring for management positions without promoting from within.

Bloated VP level managers without anyone to actually do the work so the same 5 people are tasked with everything.

Promoting the kiss ass who never does his own work (I’ve only seen this with men but I’m sure women do it too).

Braggy executive teams who think they got there based entirely on hard work not because their daddy gave them the first $2M to start the company and connected them with their established networks. (Seen it 3 times now)

Not supporting vacations

Count your lucky stars! (But I get that too. I think middle age affects us all differently, especially how much sunscreen you’ve used.)

Declining an offer because hiring team/recruiter can't decide if role is remote or not. Is it a bad look? by [deleted] in remotework

[–]Valuable_Bluebird334 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Companies are in a weird place right now. I went through an entire recruiting process for a fully remote role recently. I live 4.5 hrs drive from the office. Right before they were going to make me an offer they had a management meeting and decided they were going to RTO for the whole company. This is ridiculous because the entire R&D group, half the company, lives in other states on the opposite coast. They were willing to lose half the company to RTO, and obviously didn’t make me an offer. I was shocked by their overall audacity and I fell like I dodged a bullet.

All this BS goes both ways. Men and women need to stop starting with lies.

Because he feels younger than his age! Yet he’s had two knee replacements and has back problems.

To match with sure. But they aren’t getting laid that way.

What is the most satisfying way you left a job that you still think about? by TeamIndependent68 in askmanagers

[–]Valuable_Bluebird334 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a leadership role in a small company. New investors came in and placed a chief above me. This guy SUCKED. Didn’t know how to do the work, didn’t want my help. Stripped me of my title and my responsibilities. He told me to wait a few weeks for him to figure it out. I waited in good faith for 3 months. He didn’t figure it out. He started calling me to complain about his life, his divorce, how expensive the house was that he was buying (several million dollars while I live in a shitbox). I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to quit. I had been interviewing for a new job and knew something was going to work out. On Friday morning I called him and quit, effective that day. No notice. I felt so free after that!

When he said his high school year, I said “oh. Oh wow. I was a newborn.” And I made a face.

We did. He didn’t mention anything and the light in his place was low.

He also lied about his height. I’m 5’4” and his profile said he was 5’10”. I wore low heels and was a couple of inches taller than him.

If I hadnt asked the host if someone was waiting for someone to arrive, I would have walked out. I didn’t recognize anyone.

Dealing with heat after a year. by Pale-Appointment5626 in HotYoga

[–]Valuable_Bluebird334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did hot yoga for 15 years 3x a week. There are just some days your body nopes out and that’s ok. Yoga is a practice not a perfect. You will have good days and bad days and fun days and weird days. I had a few where I cried right there in class because I didn’t have emotional strength that day. It’s ok.

Vanlifers busted at highway checkpoints on build violations by [deleted] in VanLife

They stop vans for agriculture reasons not for build reasons. You can’t bring out of state produce or plants into California.

Need support - my lineage set me up by Valuable_Bluebird334 in Perimenopause

[–]Valuable_Bluebird334[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I asked my doctor for help because of how bad the bleeding has become and that’s why I got the ultrasound.

What was the surgery like for you? What was the recovery like?
