HR can really ruin an otherwise great opportunity. Had a call today where the recruiter started off that it was unacceptable that I had to reschedule our phone screen. Nevermind the fact that he couldn't even read my availability correctly.

Recruiters getting all sanctimonious is the worst. They have the highest self opinion.

I reported the bad behavior of my recruiter when I was hired. He ghosted me on numerous meetings. I think we let him go (contractor).

Seriously ? How was the rest of the call

HR people can be a little power crazed

They've scheduled outside of my available windows so many times. I always make it work and don't say anything though

Well, this call is mandatory with leadership. I'm not going to inconvenience the MD and others on my team for an initial connect for another job.

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.
