Forget mansplaining! Let’s talk about Seniorsplaining (v) the over-explanation of something by a person, usually with ‘senior’ in their title, in a manner regarded as patronizing.

How about juniorsplaining, where only they know what’s cooler!

Did you just juniorsplain to me?

Seniorsplaining, also known as "teaching" and "mentoring" but you go ahead and conquer the world with your vast understanding of all things.

Also booksplaining! Those dang books think they’re so smart

And don’t even get me started on manspreading, which is when you sprinkle a bunch of men onto a lawn and rake to evenly distribute.

I’ve noticed that people who do this “learn” through teaching. Almost reinforcing whatever they are saying to themselves. Doesn’t make it any less annoying.

How about de-planing, when you pull up to the gate and everyone in the rows behind you stands up and fills the aisle amiright

If this is the best you could do OP, then you probably need things explained to you 💁‍♀️

This drives me insane. Recently spent four hours in a car with a c-suiter who decided to spend half that time explaining to me a mathematical model I WROTE.

Numbersplain? Or abacusplain?

I’m actively searching & looking for a new strategist position since my current agency is mismanaging not only myself but the relationship with the client. It’s a dumpster fire.

I’m wondering what questions I should look out for and be aware of as I find myself getting past the HR screens pretty quickly.

Also - if your agency is remote or LA based and hiring, feel free to let me know in the comments as well :)

Hi folks, I have recently joined Publicis Sapient taking an offer of 14.4 LPA. I have total 4.5 years of experience and my previous CTC was around 3.4 LPA. I had various offers in hand but not one to counter this one and PS is providing me 4x+, so I couldn't negotiate much.

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.
