Technology is a wonderful thing, but how far is too far? I heard of a company that is really leaning into it and asking employees to use virtual reality headsets to attend meetings. You can create your avatar for the meeting as if you were in the office.

If this is the way of the future and one of your employers require you to attend meetings with a VR headset, how do you adjust with your other jobs?

AHHHH Op this is about to be me. My best friend and I leave on the 15th to go out of the country for two weeks and I could not be more excited about it. I figure i might as well use this time to travel and do fun things before I have a family and kids. We are going to Portugal and Paris and I literally cannot wait.

Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming Product Manager interview with BCGDV. HR told me it would be a 45 minutes Zoom call with a Product Director.

Thank you so much!

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?

Anyone have multiple FT jobs? I'm looking about to land a new primary FT job, as my current job is very very slow, doesn't really have any projects for me, and could end at any time (with a 30 day notice).
Where there any legal issues? (The two companies area in different industries so no competition). How did you manage both? The new company knows I'm still employed, should I quit the first or keep it as long as I can manage both? Any bad vibes or feelings of unprofessionalism? TIA
