It’s the fifth time some HR rookie asked me to share my CV . No, No, No, No, No.
WHY the f would an HR professional want a CV? Isn’t that for recruitment consultants?!

You didn't say anything about HR asking you to pay for anything. All you said is HR asked if you would share your CV. I don't see what your hesitation is. Many companies do their own recruiting and interviewing WITH their HR team. You would submit your application, letter and CV directly to HR at the company you are applying to. I don't think anyone would look at your CV and offer advice on improving it - that is up to you. If you feel your CV might not be the best it can be, YOU can search for someone to help you to improve it.

What?

See above …

I’m quite open to a polite explanation of the difference between the roles of recruitment consultant and HR.

a “recruitment consultant” would be a third party external adviser a company hires to help with recruiting efforts. but many companies have internal teams within their HR department that are dedicated to recruiting as well.

Last week team dynamics took a turn for the worst (even tho in each retro the team always commend each other, you would think team work is great). Team members get agitated with each other for being slow. Team members coming across rude and brash (the same ones are difficult to get hold to offer support, time is money is what someone said💰, the craziest was the client accidently sharing her whatsapp screen, commenting on people's feedback to what she was presenting OMG 😲 How was your week?

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
