Time for an actual work related confession lol. I have an inbox rule that moves anything from someone who isn’t in my contacts and contains terms that suggest free lunch to a specific folder. This has secured a decent number of meals for sitting in on webinars

You can probably find a good guide on creating inbox rules in general, that’d explain that better than me and doesn’t assume how familiar you are with that but:

For the logic of the rule I’ve just got it with the condition anyone not in my contacts AND contains terms in message body. Then for the terms things like “lunch and learn”, “Ubereats gift card” and such. You could probably get away with even just gift card but I have a separate rule for that too lol. Mostly really just modifying the rule based on the messages you get. You then just move to a specified folder and check it every once in a while

Also keeps your main inbox cleaner.

Lol what company

They’re all unsolicited vendor/sales emails so this would probably work anywhere. I’m the only person with my title at my company so o won’t post which *mine* is 👀

I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
