Anyone else feel like fake urgency is getting out of hand? Every task is marked high priority, but no one can say why. How do you push back without sounding difficult?

🤔 I'm past due for my review and a raise. Think I'll try sending an email and mark it high priority. Wonder how fast of a response I'll get

If you knew, you’d be in their role. Everyday clickbait complaining posts are getting tiring. No more engagement for you. Everyone boycott

Miss the task, you will know.

I told my boss “everything can’t be P1. you have to actually decide what is top priority or else all things are equal.”

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

Good morning / Hello! Just a reminder that you don't have to put up with anyone's bullshit today. 🤙 Stick up for yourself and your workload (professionally and with examples of needed.)

I have been out of work for the past 6 months, and have flooded many email boxes - applied to more than 600 job posts, have been getting a call for an interview, but after my first call with the HR, recruiter or even hiring manager, I don't seem to get past that stage! Any advice on how to get past this?
