A recruiter just told me that they're looking for a "plug and play candidate". This is so bloody dehumanizing. They're clearly looking to purchase a power up for their stupid game, not hire a human being just missing one credential.

While many won’t say this directly, the ideal situation for any hiring manager is to find a candidate that can immediately produce. It might not always be possible, for several factors, but it is ideal.

What’s a plug and play?

Oh lol. No matter how smart or talented a candidate is, you should never make excuses about not providing them with support. That’s just a toxic culture.

Surely there’s more to it than simply saying “plug and play”?

Because employers don't want to hold up their end of the deal, like having a clear vision and strategy for their objectives, or a sensible accountability structure, or compensation on par with performance, or training on their bespoke proprietary processes and systems.

I’m a new CSM (9 months) and I work at a company that doesn’t invest much in its CSM team. I’ve been struggling because as time goes on I feel more and more like a token hire. We have no play book/structure, no CSM tool and I’m current organizing all 95 of my clients on spreadsheets while also handling presales trials with a salary under 50k.

Long story short: I’m searching for mentorship or to be pointed in the direction of a good course so I can help the clients I do have while I’m here

I was about to talk trash about my truck driving friends and blame them for my heatwave related problems.

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?

Additional Posts in LinkedIn Cringe

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
