Ugh I hope this sub doesn’t turn into people asking for strangers to buy them gifts. Ridiculous.

On the flip side, I have Gen X coworkers who still default to shared drives (instead of using onedrive or any other cloud solution), who burry the things you need under 10 steps of folders. I hate having to go to X drive > forms > approvals > business unit > sales > 2026 > march

Like, can we please just put these in sharepoint folders so I can do a quick search for what I need?

As others mentioned, trimming your brows will make a huge difference. Then you can just get some brow wax and use a little to tame them into place.

You could also think about getting your brows laminated. It’s a huge time saver, but a bit expensive (though it lasts for a long time)

lol same! Fascinating!

Mamba. As a kid I used to always pick them over starburst, because I would get more candy. Tried it a few years ago as an adult… it tastes like plastic lol.

Haha I know exactly the type you’re talking about. Always a consultant of some kind, usually a “founder” of their consulting company (with 1 employee.. them).

That doesn’t make them not real. Thats not how that works. They are still diamonds.

I dunno this doesn’t look like obvious AI to me.

A lab grown diamond is still a real diamond.

lol yup that was the dead giveaway!

100% lol. I have been so tempted sometimes to schedule a screen and ask my normal questions for the role.

Without fail, every executive leadership role I’ve ever recruited for has gotten at least a few applicants whose only experience is 1-3 summer internships.

I think that will just be a thing for a while and you’ll have to get used to it. 10 years ago it would have been so rare to see someone with a real 4 karat diamond ring, because it would cost like $100k at least.

So yeah, to people who haven’t been paying attention to the diamond industry, lab grown diamonds, and the increase in affordability and accessibility… in their minds, 4 karat diamond ring= exorbitantly expensive. Many of them might think it’s fake, so if you’re worried about that, I would just educate them. They probably don’t know that you can get a real diamond 4 karat ring for a few thousand.

Having all the cable channels (don’t even get me started on people who had DISNEY!!!), ordering anything but water to drink at a restaurant, cars with automatic windows, using the AC in the car.

Challenge accepted

Nah you are fine, I wouldn’t have even noticed ed

If they are an agency recruiter there is probably a new hire guarantee in the contract. 60 or 90 days is typical.

Yes. I honestly just do not get the hype!

Same!! The first time I read it was a hard copy, but the second time I read it was on my kindle. Had to print out the family tree to keep in my purse so I could reference it often.

One Hundred Years of Solitude! It’s very difficult to keep track of all of the Aureliano’s.

I was so absolutely on board with OP and thought “how bizarre of the school to keep losing her daughters clothes by sending them home with other kids” and then got to the part where she said she would start labeling everything. What?!?! We labeled every single thing that got sent to preschool and we do the same for elementary school now. It has been a requirement to label things. How has she not been labeling anything?

Yeah this really pissed me off. I NEED TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS.

Don’t look at my phone in the morning when I get up - somehow feels like I have 10x more time in the mornings without my phone

Ear phones with white noise when I need to focus on a task

White noise machine at my desk

Add “waiting on” tasks to my to-do list (example: WO Tricia to send offer)

Has it occurred to you that not everyone lives in a country where English is the primary language?
