I used to have a manager who was definitely a micromanager who was very hands-on, super controlling at times but at least they were supportive and always got things done. Now I’ve got the opposite, super chill, barely checks in, often MIA when I actually need help. It’s weird, but I almost miss the micromanaging because at least I felt supported. Finding that balance between trust and leadership is harder than it looks. And when you get both extremes, its difficult to figure which one’s better!

Hey everyone, I was recently laid off from Meta. I am a senior technical recruiter, who also served 20 years in the military. I am looking for new positions working in San Diego or remotely. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Cisco

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

I am looking to leave my current position due to not having the opportunity to run campaigns and earn experience.
However, every interview I get asked about the campaigns that I have run.
This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.

I was just going through a Facebook privacy checkup and under the data privacy checkup, it says that I gave indeed access to my Facebook account because I used it to login. Should I be worried about that?

Hi how much does a florist get paid per hour? Thanks

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

I had customers tell me how amazing the salads I make for them. It’s great that I can make salads that good!

Someone came in and ordered 60 bacon double cheeseburgers… my crew thought I was kidding. 😅
