My skin has always been a little dry. I’ve used plain coconut oil on my face for years (as a moisturizer) but recently stopped because my fave would just get red after application.

I make poor decisions

I only focus (obsess) on the bad parts of my review, even though the rest was glowing. Why?!

Turned down a gig at Apple two years ago because I saw a lot of growth opportunities at my current company and saw the position as a step back (even though it was more money) and have regretted it ever since. Still in the same exact position at the same company I was then btw. Bad choice.

I’m about to switch jobs to my company’s main competitor and move to a new city and I’m so anxious and worried I’m making the wrong choice, anyone else ever get cold feet after signing an offer?

For everyone I reject in an interview: I secretly wish we can have a feedback session and I secretly wish you find something that fits you like a glove. And I mean it when I say it: all the best.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

There is someone in senior leadership who consistently has a target on someone’s back. They pressure their reports and team members to complain to HR about said target until action is taken. Cont’d
