Having your GPA on a resume is looked down upon (even if it is high)? I saw people roasting it on LinkedIn.

It’s just not relevant if you’re no longer a college hire and have a year of relevant experience or so since graduation.

Looking for your first job out if school? Fine.

Your second job? A little odd, but no big deal.

Your third job? Your resume speaks for itself, and now you're starting to look like Al Bundy bragging about how many touchdowns he had in one game at Polk High.

After a few years out, it's a meaningless data point.

So, let me get this straight, EY2 is making fun of D1 because of an exceptionally high GPA but doesn't know the difference between loose and lose. 👍

My floor supervisor (direct report) married the operations manager two weeks ago. I can’t say anything to either of them without hearing it repeated back to me from the other one.

Even if he didn’t share information, there are other issues…see below
