I’m sorry, but do posts like these annoy anyone else? Do you really not know about Urban Dictionary? If you didn’t, there’s google, chatGPT, Siri, Alexa, etc. It’s the easiest time in human history to get information.

It frustrates me how so many in advertising keep pretending like it’s impossible to learn new slang. Or heaven forbid, watch any the millions of videos online at your beck and call that use language like this which would give you the context to figure out the meaning yourself.

I applied for a role & interviewed well w/ the Dir & Sr. Dir but for some reason, they wanted me to meet w/ the VP. The interview went terribly 😞…she was disinterested in everything I had to say & was a bit nasty too. Almost like she went into it with a preconceived notion without knowing me. It was very unprofessional🙄

I followed up with the recruiter who said the team decided to go with someone else based on the VP’s feedback (of course). Went on LinkedIn today & the job is reposted😒
