My calendar looks full until I actually look at it… and half of the meetings say “might need to reschedule.” It’s like everyone’s mentally halfway out the door already. Does anyone else notice their schedule slowly evaporating this time of year, or is it just my job?

It's definitely not just you, and I like it. I enjoy this lazy, sleepy, snowy, holiday vibe that we get between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I like the reminder that our job is just a job and we have more important things going on, like family and time off.

Thanks. That’s lovely.

I can relate to that. It sounds like what I've been seeing. A lot of people already seem to be checked out and in holiday mode. My theory is that it's been a stressful year in a lot of ways, and people are just ready to hurry up to the holidays. I can't blame them, I feel much the same.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

Is it a red flag if, after almost two years in a full quota carrying and selling role I want to take a lower role at another company in order to break into a field (tech sales) I want to work in? It’s better pay - closer to home and at a company with a better reputation?
