I need one season long series that I can start and finish today stuffing myself with Popeye and smoking joints. Something like Chernobyl, The Terror etc. thanks in advance!

I never thought I would like a documentary about sports so much and even less one made by ESPN. I'm talking about "The Last Dance". This series shows you the success story of the superstar Michale Jordan and it's extremely exquisite, I recommend it. Who has seen it?

Anyone watch the new episode tonight? No spoilers but I loved it, Gregory and Janine are my new Leslie & Ben/ Jim & Pam. Also I can’t get enough of Mr. Johnson 😂😂

Any good leads for Head/VP of People roles? I’m looking to explore new roles but not in a major rush.

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

Pete the Cat is back.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Favorite creative from a black-owned brand?
