I'm a bit dumbfounded. Why would a "Talent Acquisition Lead" cold email me about opportunities at their company on my work email?

No one is going to get mad at you for receiving a recruiting email. Sure, it was unprofessional to send it there, but I get a couple a week. Everyone does.

They claim that they're impressed with my background and experience, but that means they would know the company I work for and that this is clearly my WORK email address.

Also, how do I handle this? My company can obviously see all of my emails and I'm not interested in working at this recruiter's company. I haven't been explicitly looking for a new job.

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

On a big zoom call this morning. Child walks in fully naked and COVERED in marker. I mean face, legs, hands, everything.

Not my finest parenting moment since I just pushed them out into the hallway and continued with my meeting. Sharing the shame here

I'm an analyst who is often spoken over in group huddles when a manager / MD / anyone higher than me speaks. Wasn't bothered at first, but it's been consistent over months. Is this a hierarchy thing or a remote work thing? This happens for both project work discussions and informal group coffee chats.

Dear Recruiters,
When you schedule a meeting with me, please show up. Don’t just reschedule and blow me off again with no warning. Also, please don’t charade a direct mail project as a “top tier agency project”.
I may hold no power over you and your destiny but if, or when that happens, I will inundate you with meeting invites and only show up to half of them. The other half I will shower you with information that’s completely irrelevant.
