Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?
This should go well

You don’t. Why do you care?
I hope we work together. Cuz I'm about to glitter the everloving shit out of my beard everyday until break. Me and makeup boo bout to look fly AF on coupon zoom.
Woah. Glitter IN my beard. You just opened up my world.
The way my mother raised me was toxic and a bit scary. (imagine Dance Moms, without the dancing) She had me thoroughly convinced that if the world ever saw me without full makeup, it would reject me. I felt that truth in my bones.
It took therapy and 2 years to let my bf see me with just foundation. 4 to go nude. By my wedding day I’d fixed it and have been much better since.
The pandemic starting bring back old habits. I’ve kept them at bay. BARELY. But it’s taking a lot of work.
Point is: You have NO idea what this person is going through. It’s almost certainly not my weirdo niche experience. But if someone called me out back in my Dance Mom days, it would have utterly broke me.
$10 says this is the same dude who tells everyone he doesn’t really get offended.
This person has been getting comments from others in her put together attitude ( not from me). So she already knows she’s waaaayyyy put together. I didn’t mean to tell her what to do or how to behave. Simply that she is much put together than 99 percent of us. No need to get so defensive.
Glad you’re not my colleague, OP, although you sound like some people I work with. Spend less time obsessing about this colleague who’s “put together.”
....maybe...it’s not for....you?
Genuinely urge you to break down why it is that this bothers you so much, no judgement. Women's appearances are often critiqued in a professional setting and it can feel impossible to look professional but not too feminine. It begs the question, why should these feminine traits be inherently negative? Why is it a bad thing to wear a lot of makeup? A lot of these biases in our society are actually misogyny, and women can hold them too against ourselves and other women, thus the cycle is endlessly perpetuated.
Don’t. Also quit your job
Damn just let the girl do her thing. Her makeup is literally none of your business.
I think she does it for herself to feel normal and it’s a bit petty for others to judge her tbh.
I appear that way myself bc I like my brand of moisturizing colored lip product and love a damn good cat eye, even on the weekends. Sometimes I wear my glitter stuff or eyeshadow, not for zoom (can’t see it anyway). Personally it takes me no more than 5 minutes while I watch YouTube in the morning to do very quick makeup and hair. I get I’m a bit over the top compared to my team but I haven’t skipped a beat since I started wfh - it’s on brand for me and I just like it 😊
Why does it bother you and your colleagues that she’s “so” put together? It’s not the surface level answer you keep providing. As any therapist would suggest — ask yourself why and why and why again to dig to the root issue, and ultimately you’ll uncover that it has a lot more to do with you than it has to do with her.
She’s the only one that does it. It’s irritating people. Nobody is that put together all the time every.single.day. If anything wouldn’t she be flattered to be told “gosh you look like you just stepped out of the salon everyday”
I don’t see why how put together someone is on a zoom call is any of your business.
I bet women secretly judge other women on their appearance much than they care to admit. But then comment in here about how not to do this in public, how it is wrong bla bla bla...I mean to me it actually feels like a compliment to tell someone that they look great. But it seems like we should all pretend we can’t see and we can’t talk and anyone can just do anything as long as “the work” is done.
Also, any compliment that goes beyond “you look nice today” is inappropriate.
You don’t. That’s none of your business.
She’s doing it for herself. Who cares. Does she do a good job is all that matters and if does she treat people well?
Who knows, she’s probably a make up influencer or trying to hide some prison face tats. We’re living in COVID-19 times and it’s hard to get that tat removal appt
You don’t. And I am curious as to why you feel entitled the opportunity to voice your feelings to her on this matter? Unless it is overtly against your company policy you have no place to say anything, AND if that was the case, you speak to HR. You have no business commenting on people’s appearance in a professional environment.
Jealous much?
An account director is on here saying she wishes one of her colleagues is as slovenly as she is. Sorry that we’re not all wallowing in Shit during this WFH time.
What more is there to say here. 1. Her makeup/appearance in team meetings while WFH or in office doesn't matter unless she's wearing an offensive shirt that says a bad word or something. End of story. Move on. The fact that you care so much is wild. Read a book or something instead idk how else to help you. Plenty of nice people on here have already tried. This is so ugly please learn about love and life one day. I hope the women and men in your life help make you better one day I really do. Is it ok if I wear a nice dress shirt to my briefing? a tie? or is that too much for you? I don't own a pair of sweats idk? Who's to say sweats are dressed down idk? GARBAGE
You don’t
Um you leave it alone because it’s not your face...
You don't tell someone that. If she feels comfortable, that's what she needs to be on camera. It's hard for some people.
