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.

“Hi,I’m a CD looking for new obligations.”

“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.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
