Ha! Happened to me tonight except his guy was texting for 5 minutes between sets 🙄 usually I just ask how many more sets do you have. The awkward part is where do you hang around afterwards... 🤷🏻‍♀️

A simple “hey bro, how many sets you got left?” Then whatever they respond just be like “ok bro, let me know I’ll wait”

I've been seeing a lot of ADCOLOR posts on linkedin, and some of the people who are liking and reposting it are some of the same people who were blatantly racist and rude to me when I worked with them. I wish there was something I could say/do about it, but it's literally making my blood boil seeing them like posts about "uplifting" and "supporting" BIPOC, only because I know that once they get off their screens and they're the meanest people

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
