Sticky notes, white board, expecting ppl to read my mind, haphazardly delegate delegate delegate (but must only do so in a constantly toxic, sexist, berating manner) and then pull the blame knives out when it all goes to crap. That's how my SM is making partner so it totally works!

I have a contact who is a hiring mgr at a company I want to work for. He told me he has an open role for me and set me up with 6 interviews over a 2 week period. They all went really well and HR said I’ll most likely be moving forward to a site visit. But now my contact has ghosted me. After I made 3 outreaches he had his aa schedule time for two weeks out. Why am I being iced?

Thinking about applying to a fed consulting job. It doesn’t specify which security clearance I will need, but I will need one.

She is not a citizen of that foreign country, but just works at this company in middle management. Is this an automatic disqualifier for me to get a security clearance?
