I spent 9 years helping candidates find jobs and navigate hiring practices only to realize that what needed to change was the candidate experience not candidate behavior. Humans behave in predictable ways, our processes should match reality.

Boss: I can tell you’re disappointed in the PTO changes.
Me: I’m not disappointed. I’m livid. This change directly contradicts what I signed on my offer letter.
So proud of myself for not crying and speaking my truth.

Thank you to everyone for the support. I’m glad that my reaction to this news wasn’t an overreaction as my work implied.
I’m a remote consultant and the flexibility is incredibly important to me, especially as someone with multiple invisible disabilities and health issues.

I don’t think leaders really thing things through all possible outcomes when making mass changes like this. They are willfully blind to the challenges of being an employee and not a boss.

It’s really hard for people who have never had FT remote jobs to understand that we are actually working and not just chilling.
TikTok may tell you about afternoon naps but what it doesn’t tell you about is 6am zoom calls, 8hrs of teams meetings and 5+ hrs of work after.

My job as your manager is not to tell you when, what and where to work on things.
It’s to give you a list of outcomes needed and remove any barriers to those outcomes that may be in your way.

Some of our kids were vaccine injured. And I’m not talking about “vaccines give you autism”. I’m talking about week long hospital stays and near death from a vaccine. Being skeptical of what goes in our kids bodies isn’t a bad thing.

5 years ago a local agency owner wouldn’t hire me because I lacked enough experience. (I didn’t)

My most controversial interview tip:
Show up as yourself. They’re going to work with you, they should like the real you. If they don’t, it’s not the job for you. Stop overly analyzing your answers and practicing for days. You are who you are and you know what you know. Show up.

3 years ago I spent every evening crying over a job where no one seemed to see my value and bullied me daily.
This week I signed an offer to lead RM content for an org over 100x the size of that org with double the salary.

My friend is in town visiting me. Her husband decided she may only spend $200 for 5 days in Vegas including from her own account… from her own job. He will check.

I didn’t get accepted into the leadership academy my employer is hosting for 2023, due to my newness on the team.
I decided to read the book list for the class regardless. Just because they didn’t accept me doesn’t mean I can’t grow as a leader myself in 2023.

High? That’s state minimum sick pay and 10 days vacation. That’s less than I’ve had in 10 years. Not to mention, I am in the tech industry and 20 days is low in the industry as well.

They put us on accrual starting Jan 1. Meaning we will be in the negative with any time off until the balance grows. It actually means if I quit, with a negative balance, they could take it out of my last paycheck.
It would be different if they front loaded it.

Hiring managers who speak to you like a colleague/peer, the interview feels more like a discussion and not a quiz, the hiring manager seems truly interested in who you are/what you want to do/what you can do. Questions are open ended and promote conversation.

Let’s be honest, 90% of zoom calls can be summed up with a simple slack of “is this done? If not when will it be? what do you need to get it done?”

This is a wonderful thought in theory but there are very few middle managers who have mastered being a leader and instead manage through threats and power dynamics. If you can’t trust your manager to listen, why would you go to them before leaving?

You mean so many men make it worse by not being supportive of the mother of their child.
Let’s put the blame where it actually lays, on those who fail to step up and leave others to handle their responsibilities.
Postpartum depression is very real but so many women make their post birth experience 100x worse by choosing the wrong man and that is not talked about enough.

If your job description says “offer contingent on passing drug test and randomized testing” for a remote role, I’m probably not applying.
