What do we think of the Sydney Sweeney controversy? It had to be explained to me. I’m overweight, so to me, the good genes thing landed as a size comment. But I know that’s probably just me. Do you think it’s racist? Do you think they will sell a lot of jeans?

I think it's nonsensical, it's people trying to make comments from random people who are too online into some big societal issue. I don't think the ads were meant to be racist, I mean, that just seems obvious. But there's so much racist stuff online currently that I could understand people raising their eyebrows or thinking the pun was obnoxious.

That’s true.

It's silly IMO. I don't find it racist at all and think anyone who does it making a big logical leap. Hanlon's Razor seems appropriate here: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence". Not that I think the ad was created incompetently per se, it just doesn't feel malicious to me. Their marketing team saw an opportunity to make a pun. Nothing more, nothing less.

I will have to remember Hanlon’s razor!

I don’t get it. How are people offended with that ad? I’m a plus sized woman of color and couldn’t less. I found the ad cheesy and the outfit ugly but that is it.

“Experienced Hire” with 7 years of advisory technology consulting. Possibly looking to switch firms. Have no idea if I’m in the range, over or under market level on comp.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
