Can we stop calling jobs ‘opportunities’. Do you say “I lost my opportunity” or “I hate my opportunity”? “ My opportunity doesn’t pay very well”? No, you don’t. It’s a frickin’ job - okay.

If we want to get real about it, let’s start calling it an obligation.

“Joining this account sounds like a really exciting obligation!”

Big diff between a job and a career. A career opportunity is legit. A job is just a paycheck.

You aren't wrong. I like it.

Its tough few weeks for our country. And let’s not forget today is the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, too. In general I am thankful we live in a country where we can freely speak out against evil acts as they happen - not everyone has that luxury. & for some good news today - it’s my birthday! My birthday wish is that we all get to talk to someone we love today ❤️ thanks to everyone who joined this bowl & I hope you continue to spread some good news.

Coming up on one full year at an ID firm. Feeling overwhelmed with my experience so far. I’ve received minimal training/feedback unless it was on something I messed up. It feels like the expectations don’t align with my level of experience. I have a case load of 45-55 with very little oversight or involvement from partners. Turnover is extremely high, as I’m the second longest tenured associate in the office. Looking for some guidance on whether this is the norm or not. Compensation is low 80’s.

My new job occasionally requires me to review vendor agreements. I don’t have any background in this area and am trying to get up to speed.
