Chances are he saw you, bumped you on purpose and said something to make a point. If you are walking and your pace or obstruction can affect others, don’t look at your phone. If you must do something on your phone at that very moment and it cannot wait... get out of the way. While rude, it was clearly a point that needed to be made given how innocent you think you are in this scenario. Man I hope you don’t live in nyc

Yes . You have no responsibility for anything if you have achieved Mobile Ownership. It sets you above everyone else

I have to say I thoroughly dislike when people walk and text. If you need to do something on your phone step aside and get it done. It’s an innocent thing to do. But it does really muck up walking a simple sidewalk. That said, that guy was rude.

I saw this. You have to admit you were kinda in the wrong, but he was staring up at something in a window or something so I guess he shoulda paid attention as well. The point is his was a more natural distraction. Woulda been a good fight maybe next time glad all is well

Ya I don’t believe any asshat saying they don’t walk and use their phone at the same time. I literally don’t believe anyone in this industry can actually do that. Y’all suck. OP, I stand by what I say, being rude isn’t an excuse to try and teach some subjective lesson in manners or moral high ground. The guy was simply a dick, and next time I see him, I’d check him.

If he walks into you it's his fault. If you walks into you while you're looking at your phone he has the right to gut you like a pig.

Seriously is somebody told me to “watch out” after bumping into me at work I’d ask who tf raised them and tell them to get some manners. That kinda thing makes me boil.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
