What John Wren’s note has proven today (in case anyone still had any lingering doubts) is that agencies and their leadership have no real power.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I would argue that the leadership of the Holdup companies have plenty of power and money, but no real long term business planning discipline. Your average agency level CEO that falls under the Holdup company has little to no true decision making power.

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child. I have 5+ years of experience in life science (bench top, pathology in a hospital, startup, and most recently clinical research). I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

I’m thinking of buying a designer belt and have been eyeing this one from Dior. Is it a waste to spend $660+tax on a plain black belt w just the logo? I also considered Gucci but think it’s too everywhere. Also thinking Hermes but may need to justify myself for the price hike. I’m 30F and want to get something that is versatile (dress up / casual) and long lasting in terms of style. Appreciate any recs!

Hey everyone. I'm seeing so many people with 6-figure salaries and I'm starting to question my own for my education/experience/location. Making ~73 as a design engineer with 7+ years of engineering experience, a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Purdue, and working/living in Indiana. Am I right to question my salary in my situation?
