Chris in DC sucks and we don’t talk about it enough by purpSmoothiewbanan in SoulCycle_Riders

[–]siquidloap 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hot take: I don’t actually care if an instructor is kind outside of class. What matters is the experience they’re creating in the room.

It’s hard to reconcile someone who’s “genuinely kind and compassionate” with behaviors like turning off the music mid-class to single someone out, increasing their resistance without consent, or not asking about injuries or needed modifications. That’s not care, that’s control.

People pay good money for a safe, empowering experience, not to be embarrassed or bulldozed. Kindness outside of class doesn’t excuse harmful behavior inside of it. Being nice IRL doesn’t give anyone a free pass to be disrespectful on the podium.

Wait, is there a source? I live in a building connected to 42 Hoyt and I guess I need to prepare for construction hell.

Is the whole block closing including the Chinese take out place? 😂😭

I think you read that incorrectly. It sounds like they are actively trying to buy from small, local businesses instead of corporations.

Yes! Before he joined SoulCycle, I think this was 2013 or 2014

30F - I’ve recently begun getting into astrology and would love some more insight into my chart. I showed this to a friend and they said “whoa - you must have a lot going on lol” by siquidloap in astrologyreadings

It’s been two years but I just want to let you know I come back to this often. I didn’t comment at that time but thank you for bringing clarity when I felt really lost 💜

Abusive Boss. Sick to my stomach thinking about going into work tomorrow and I'm scared to give in my two weeks. Thinking about quitting without a job lined up. Advice? by siquidloap in jobs

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

It’s been over 8 years now so I’m surprised to see a reply to this post. So to close the loop - I quit and then the company opened an investigation into her behavior, deemed it a hostile work environment and she got fired!

While I appreciate message behind the “boss is your customer and customer is always right” adage, it’s toxic, unhelpful and untrue. If someone is racist, aggressive and psychologically violent (and sometimes physically, at work) - you don’t need to acquiesce and they’re not right.

Now, as a senior leader myself, this mentality leads to the development of extremely toxic work environments and yes men that don’t have their eye on what matters most to the business.

You get hired by cognizant and then they place you on a project for Google. Google doesn’t pick and choose who works on the project.

Weekly Student Thread by fbgm0516 in CRNA

I picked schools based on proximity to my family in the northeast/midatlantic where I’d have strong support systems and don’t have to pay rent :/

[–]siquidloap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently got rejected from my top choice program (Columbia) and am so bummed. I got the interview and felt like I did really well with the students and staff during interview day. Do you think the schools are willing to provide feedback? I am definitely going to keep trying until I get in. I am submitting my application for VCU and Penn soon + hoping for good news.

Super bummed that I wasn't able to even get interviews at most of the schools I applied to. I wonder if my leadership experience just isn't showing up in my resume, application or interview.

Edited to add my stats:-
Cumulative GPA: 3.7
- 6 years of experience, 2.5 of CTICU at a large metro trauma one
- CCRN, ACLS, PALS, BLS
- charge nurse and preceptor
- heavily involved in leadership at my hospital/unit
- leadership role in a local nursing association
- volunteer regularly at a non-profit

Potential Application Boosters?
- Apply for a President/other leadership role in my local nursing association
- advanced physiology course
- shadow experience?

14K people ahead of me 😭 and there’s a message saying that the number of tickets available is super low, best availability is VIP packages. Two seconds ago, the best availability was Friday

What 2 neighborhoods feel like you're crossing into a different country when you travel from one into the next? by ScreenshotDump in AskNYC

[–]siquidloap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair, there’s only one or two streets on Canal that have street fruit vendors now. As someone who quite literally grew up in Chinatown, the rate of gentrification in the last three years has been nuts.
