Confession: I just took a 10 minute surprise zoom call with a taco in my hand. I couldn’t put it down or else it’d fall apart so I just held it while I talked. I thought it was off screen but someone mentioned in a confused tone “Um, is that a taco in your hand?” Yup, yup it is. It’s lunch time, mind yo business 🌮

Hi, I am currently working as an associate in AUTHBRIDGE looking to change any hiring going on. Work experience of 1.5 years.

Sea of thieves anyone?

P&T is ‘central to our FY23 strategy’ and yet we had to beg and plead to even get a handful of P&T Directors to represent at the Director CLeX happening this week in San Diego.

Not feeling the ‘one firm’ narrative we push - completely tone deaf and sends a horrible message for P&T Directors.

Major missed opportunity to start bridging the divide - particularly at a level where the real work gets done.

Hi ZS Associates consultants, why do most people at ZS stay long at the firm? What are the exit options?

This is not my wheelhouse so I’m not sure of the answer. If someone is writing a “memoir” and is including me in it, and I DONT want to be in the book, do I have any legal recourse? I understand since it’s been published it doesn’t meet any invasion of privacy or potential defamation yet, but is there something I can do preliminarily to protect myself and stop my inclusion?

Went into PA for job stability & good money. Now I realize my job'll eventually be automated & I could have made so much more starting as an engineer without working these long hours. Life's a bitch.

I have an estranged relationship with my sister. I haven’t had a relationship with her in 13+ years, and haven’t even seen her in about 5 years. We had a really bad falling out and I never really carried for her as a person. But for some reason I feel an immense guilt for not wanting a relationship, simply because of this convoluted idea of family and sticking together no matter what. Anyone else have this issue? How do I go about making peace with someone I don’t want nothing to do with?

I absolutely loath personal development/lifestyle coaches and their quacky books.

I’m a closeted no book reader. I’ve maybe read 5 books over the last 10 years… My teams over the years are always talking about all the books they read and providing recommendations, but luckily people tend to be more interested in sharing what they read rather than listening so I’ve made it this far. I’m worried I’ll be discovered one day
