What do you think about wearing headphones at work? Does it matter the industry that you are in? I remember when I use to work part time at a restaurant I would wear them. Granted I was in the back of the house and was closing.

I think it really depends on the job and the vibe of the workplace. In the back of the house or for focus-heavy tasks, headphones can be a lifesaver. But in a customer-facing role or a super collaborative team? Probably a no-go. Honestly, as long as it doesn’t disrupt your work, why not?

It depends on what you're doing, and on the working conditions. Obviously in some situations there could be a safety issue. I've never been one who could listen to anything while working, I just find it too distracting. But if someone was doing something where they could listen, it wouldn't bother me.

At Amazon you can they have head phones work approved you can wear while you work in there distribution center s, sort centers , etc .

It definitely depends on your role and what you are doing. There are some roles that you can do that but customer service facing roles and roles where you answer the phone a lot you probably can't have headphones in for the whole day.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

I can't get this insane gun violence out of my mind & wait in dread for the next news alert.. Like many others, I'm afraid to go to the store, park, or drop my kids off at school. Always thinking - will this be the last time? It's unbearable to have any semblance of a normal life.

In many instances, social media posts are uncovered afterwards. With advances in TECH, esp. AI/ML, can't something be done to monitor online threats and alert authorities before it happens? Is that a crazy idea?!

Genuine question - why do people slide into DMs on here? Why would you spend time trying to get to know someone when there’s like a 1% chance you’re in the same geographical area and would have mutual interest in each other? Is it not better to spend your time on tinder or bumble to find people that are guaranteed to be nearby if you’re bored?
Edit: I mean DMs that are not platonic/networking 🙃
