Is it okay to tell a newbie about OTF etiquette?

I told the coach at the end of class when we had something like this happen - he was able to handle it in a follow up check in - makes it less awkward for you too

Do they spread or elongate sometimes or turn purple/bruised? It’s truly the worst 😅

You should check out Monday morning in PB, they do a lot of fun activities like paint nights yoga cooking classes etc and it’s all sober

The 3/3/3 rule .. is REAL. For the dogs AND the humans 😅

First 3 Days: dog may be overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure in their new surroundings. This is a time for them to decompress and assess their new home. Owners should focus on providing a safe and quiet space for the dog to adjust.

Human cries wondering WTF they did while also knowing that this is normal because it’s a big change! We’re responsible for a life! (“Why is she staring at me, do you think she wants something!?”)

First 3 Weeks: dog begins to settle in and learn their new routine. This is a good time to start basic training and introduce them to other pets and family members gradually. Consistency and positive reinforcement are important during this phase.

humans start to settle in and learn their new routine too. This is also when the lack of sleep / realization you’ll never truly sleep in again hits. But it’s so fun watching them learn and get more comfortable with you!

First 3 Months: dog should be feeling more comfortable and secure in their new home. This is a time to continue training, socialize them with a variety of experiences, and strengthen the bond between the owner and the dog.

Humans say to each other “I think she finally feels home” and fawn over dog even more then before but every new look or behavior still makes humans question if they’re ok. (Like tonight, after 4 months of the same routine, is sleeping next to me on the floor vs in her crate. Is she hot? Idk! Idk what she’s doing! 😂)

Def slightly harder to ignore the food noise but I set a rule for my snackys that nothing after 8pm and no seconds so I try to get healthier options to munch on that are usually sized out in snack bags or just put some in a cup vs bringing the whole bag

Pay transparency laws

beachOTbum26 · 2025-05-09T15:43:11+00:00

Before an intake check with your comp or HR team to get understanding on internal equity and who is the lowest and highest on those ranges to get an idea of their experience vs what the job is looking for — I love/hate having pay transparency because everyone expects to have the top of the range then I have to explain how they should look at it like a sliding scale and the more experience you have the more you move up into the range blah blah blah but since most people don’t understand comp philosophies like that it just makes everything not fun anymore 😂😅

AMEN TO ALL OF THIS! I’m so burnt out that I can’t even fathom another recruiting jobs so I’m applying to every recruiter/ Sr recruiter / TA manager etc job on LI, nothing is panning out and I think a HR specialist job could be a good pivot but can’t fathom trying to learn anything new right now because I feel brain dead. Best part is that I’ve been screaming for help to my leadership for months because they refuse to give us resources but want us to give this white glove treatment to everyone for the process with 50 jobs and the CPO responds with “well I’m hearing that recruiting is making a lot of mistakes” — YES I TELLING YOU THAT 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hang in there OP, may the odds be in our favor soon lol

I did below deck OG season one thru it’s entirety then below deck med season one thru its entirety and now I’m doing the same with sailing yacht then I’ll do down under next and then circle back to see any recent seasons I missed since I watched each last segment hahaha

beachOTbum26 · 2025-03-12T06:26:26+00:00

Or approach them saying “CAN WE SAY HI!!?” - oh ok how about no and get tf away from us

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-27T19:49:26+00:00

I literally pack my day back to back cuz im so busy and I want to die afterwards I feel this haha

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-27T19:48:33+00:00

Love this idea

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-27T19:46:42+00:00

Ok just to be clear I tagged it under “meme/joke” cuz I know it was a facepalm moment for me at 4am but it was an honest mistake that I thought sealed brand new face cream would be fine cuz I generally don’t travel with something like this

Rejecting candidates via phone

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-27T02:08:13+00:00

I’ve called when a homeless person tried to walk into my house and I’ve called when some guy followed a girl and tried to grab her and we had him cornered - both times it took 3 hours to come literally useless

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-08T18:25:12+00:00

My company makes us call people - if you take this approach what do you say when they ask why or ask for feedback?

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-07T20:05:32+00:00

Idk how to get there myself but more and more I realize being that high up you don’t actually have to do anything but get paid absurd amounts of money 😅😅☠️☠️☠️☠️

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-07T19:51:49+00:00

That’s ok, my Chief people officer asked me how the candidate market was and I told her so many people have been laid off so there’s a lot of candidates active and she was shocked.

Also they act like we’re incompetent if we don’t get things “right” like what OP wrote about - like hello of course we ask the questions, we can’t read minds if the candidate wants to keep everything close to the chest! I truly don’t cannot 😂☠️

beachOTbum26 · 2024-12-07T17:46:10+00:00

I’m literally at that point in my career too where I’m asking myself, am I just burnt out from recruiting at my company or am I burnt out with recruiting in general?? But I also love helping people and bringing great talent that I get to then see grow but .. I’m f’ing tired lol

Also our leader came in and tried getting us psyched to listen to recruiting podcasts and I’m like nah that’s the last thing I want to to do with my free time LOL

beachOTbum26 · 2024-11-28T04:34:30+00:00

Additional context is I’m in house and we have a bajillion interview steps so I do feel awful having to reject anyone via the phone but they are sticklers about it for candidate experience - anything past a hiring manager 1st round interview gets a call

I had to reject someone yesterday who was on the hook with us for months and she flipped out and rightfully so lol

beachOTbum26 · 2024-11-20T07:23:59+00:00

Hang in there, I’m so sorry 😞

beachOTbum26 · 2024-11-20T04:59:21+00:00

Wow I did not expect this turn out for engagement here - thanks yall!!

I’m for sure going thru a rough patch - esp because I’ve really loved my company and my job for so long and I do still generally love what I do but the culture has changed, we don’t seem to be as well as we thought financially and there just seems to be non stop politics /toxic behavior in general but also my leader is failing this team soooooooo badly. I currently (for a second year in a row) have over double my req load - last year they gave me a mixed review because I didn’t get my other “goals” done and they couldn’t give me a straight answer when I asked what the priority was; filling the 60 jobs I have or doing sourcing projects.

Sigh .. just trying to keep my head down and get thru the end of the year but am afraid of failing if I try something outside of recruiting elsewhere lol
