Lol it's a SM. Probably a master "delegater"

like

Some SMs suck at delegating which leads to a lot of swirl and rework for the team. To do it well requires a lot of thought and work. You’ll see if/when you get there.

What? You normally do a lot of fake work?

I know what you mean. When you are remote you can take naps, go outside and just work at night when you feel like it. Onsite people are watching and you have to actually look busy. 😆

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
