The best part about FINALLY landing a full-time job isn’t even the money (though it definitely helps). It’s not having to so much as look at LinkedIn until you get hit with layoffs again. 🙌

I feel this comment in my soul. As someone that skipped COBRA coverage I’m happy to no longer worry about falling down in the street, breaking a bone, then getting hit with some astronomically high medical bill.

I mean the money is pretty good. I almost had to go back home and stay with my mom and work at starbucks because I couldn’t find a job. Spending 5 hours a day on linkedin is not fun though, so I hear ya!

Take a few weeks to decompress - get paid and pay off bills - then work on the plan for your own biz once a week til your next layoff ha

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX. An argument can be made that they are the Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad of their format. Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
