OK but nobody wants to hear "portal" in the same commentary.

funny

Portal is a little normal, than penetration. Like the sci-fi portals, facebook portal, etc.

I read somewhere that people in general obsess or fantasize with things that they cannot do in real life. Just saying.

I like to watch reruns of MXC when I'm writing documentation and adapt as much of the most inappropriate commentary as I can

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

Do you think Fishbowl posts are truly anonymous? It seems likely to me that Fishbowl/GlassDoor is selling companies data with the privacy stripped away so they can see what their employees are posting. Do you think they sell the data but it’s still anonymous?
