I just joined this app today and honestly it’s a mess but one I welcome. I’m definitely not getting the LinkedIn aspiring inspirational speaker/life couch vibes and that’s great. What is clear is that y’all are a hot mess and I’m enjoying it. I’m reading about people hooking up with colleagues, one person who’s boss is unaware they work once a day every two weeks and people who just seem to hate corporate life but stay because they love money and status.

We are the funnest mess! Welcome! 🤗

We are a hot mess, but to be fair:
1) Everyone is a hot mess, but we don’t turn aside from that fact
2) We have fun, even if at times a bit salty
3) We support each other as well

Enjoy your stay, OP. 👏👏👏
