I know recruiters ghost all the time - but it feels especially cruel right now. How fucking hard is it to say “we’ve gone in a different direction.” Want to tell one of them off so badly.

Ugh. I feel you, 100%. They promise you a great gig, they add you to their quota, they friend you on LinkedIn and then disappear. Hang in there ❤️

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex.

Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.
