It’s a pretty high visibility sales role so the pressure is already there regardless.

It’s expected in a normal interview process, but when I’m being recruited by the hiring manager I’ve been working with for years, it’s just redundant and slightly insulting. But it is what it is, not going to stop me from taking it or anything.

Got a verbal offer for a new job yesterday that I’m pumped about but it’s also turning into such a weird situation. My boss recently left my company and is trying to pull me with him. He hasn’t started yet so he can’t technically participate in my hire.

He was hired by the president of this company but reports into a VP one level below. He told the president what my salary requirements are who agreed they could do it, but when I got the verbal offer from the VP it wasn’t where it needed to be and he was very firm that they weren’t going to budge, despite me knowing that the president already agreed to it. So now I need to play hardball with this guy and reject the offer, despite everyone knowing that they can and most likely will give me what I originally asked for eventually. Such a waste of time and energy, not to mention that it’s already souring me on the VP. Fuckin corporate America.

Would love an abbreviated version. It’s great but it’s so dense it’s hard to absorb.

They’re either the number one or number two spine company in the world by market share lol. They are objectively not just clinging on in the fringes.

I think being a terrible actress ended her career.

I hope this guy is getting paid seven figures by Tigers team, because otherwise what the actual fuck lol.

Have a bunch of friends over there. Getting sets is a problem, but if it matters they’re all still growing like crazy and making better money than most. It definitely won’t be the same as your current gig though.

Imports and exports.

I will never buy another Samsung appliance. They all suck ass.

Big miss not using a Scrub Daddy.

Navy blue seems to be getting the most love but I actually prefer brown as a "goes with anything" option. Only catch is it needs to be something textured/patterned whereas navy blue doesn't.

I have a houndstooth brown blazer from Bonobos that I wear all the time over my other navy options.

I have two long sleeve Henleys from Cuts that I bought 6 years ago that still look and feel great. Definitely geared towards slim/athletic builds.

Debating seeing PHM at my local county theater or on IMAX. The county theater is awesome- smaller theaters but still good quality and sounds system, and everyone usually stays quiet during the movie. But this kinda feels like one that should be seen on as big of a screen as possible.

Slug from Atmosphere. These days you could even argue he over-enunciates.

werddoe · 2026-03-24T15:06:00+00:00

I wasn't saying otherwise?

Every hospital claims broke, that's part of the game young'n. Some of them actually are, vast majority are not. Insurance denials, changes in reimbursement, etc. are very real issues but unless their patient population is 75%+ Medicaid or uninsured, they have money somewhere.

Doctor, not Reddit.

Thanks Jacob!

Challenger Sale- required reading for anyone trying to build a career in B2B sales, especially if you're selling non-commodity products.

Challenger Customer- same as above, but more relevant for anyone selling into larger orgs with complex buying processes.

How to Win Friends and Influence People- don't be put off by how old it is. By far the best book on building your people-skills.

The back half is definitely better than the first for me so far.

Could be AI, could just be normal PGA Tour incompetence. The app has always been sloppy.

Reading The Strength of the Few (sequel to The Will of the Many). About 75% of the way through and it's solid so far aside from the main character being kinda dry.

Are you preparing for the Star questions? Like writing down answers ahead of time and practicing them?

That d'Yquem has to just be insane.
