Before this turns into semantics about something and nothing… w+k is making a point about impressions, based on how the industry has been. it’s pretty important to bring in talent and business by giving off the right impression, like we try to do for our clients.

Yet, the writeup is about the industry and these guys picked a weird time and tone to make themselves known. It can be misconstrued, ie what’s seen above this comment… and that’s not great for business and bringing in talent.

The sentiment is stronger than the execution IMO.

For a website that starts off with “zero fucks” there sure are a lot of “fuck”s in the body copy.

As much as I love the sentiment, an agency full of experience should know that clients don’t want to sell more product. Shareholders do. Clients realize they’re merely a cog in a corporate wheel. It’s a wheel that doesn’t reward greater sales but one that penalizes those for taking the chance.

Clients have family’s, mortgages, etc to pay for. Therefore they only want to reach the same exact numbers that their predecessors have. To risk not following the status quo is too great.

They should have stuck with the second part (we have lots of experience) and skipped the first part (we don’t care.)

The second part could’ve been rephrased to something like “we don’t want you to become like us we want you to end up better”

Reminds me of the illustrious song Hot Dog by Limp Bizkit: “Ain't it a shame that you can't say "Fuck" Fuck's just a word and it's all fucked up”

I like it.

There's actually a great value to having talent with more experience than I've been alive.

We dismiss too quickly because they're not cool enough, or they're old, or they're too expensive.
But come on... Can the industry really not see value in experience?

Currently interviewing for a nontechnical role (final round is getting scheduled rn) and I see there’s a new job posting for a different role that I might be more excited by, for the same/associated team. What do I do?? Email my recruiter saying I want to be considered? Apply? How does going for two roles work? The referral from the original job I’m interviewing for has expired fwiw.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Macro tracking & body building experts - what should my macros & calorie count be if I want to lost 10-15 lbs? I'm 142 (due to stress and hormonal changes).

Used to be around 23 BMI and 18% fat pre-pandemic in 2019.
