Hahaha I saw this and had to resist commenting publicly.

What’s interesting is Bonni has no SAP experience on her profile. So “typical SAP” is confusing as hell.

Also this complaint was on the poor young woman’s post excited about her new role. Not the time or the place for this sort of unhinged comment.

Oh man I found her WordPress and she quotes herself a la Michael Scott

Also lol "Diverse perspectives and experiences are always welcome at The Journal via article contribution or via commentary submission. We simply request that opinions and perspectives be expressed in a civil and respectful manner"

Is SAP hiring? ❤️❤️❤️

Um. I think Bonni is the real cringe in this situation

Thanks 🐟

Bonnie replied too soon, she just needed to wait for SAPs "Dinosaurs in Tech" event


(which I am, 58 yr. old here, one foot in the tar pits)

We prefer the term "Steampunks in Tech", thankyouverymuch. 😜

New hires/interns are typically young? Nooo waaay Bonni. How observant.

Yeah, I really want a 14 year old to have control of my resume and career, only to turn me down for every job out there even with 30 years of experience. Little girl, I was working long before you were even born!!! Can I get her contact info??? Lawwwwd.

Does anyone know of any consulting/advisory companies hiring?

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened during the past year searching. Looking for a SC level role within healthcare/public sector consulting firm. I know the job scene is a bit miserable currently but if anyone in the bowl is aware of a role I would love to have a chat.

Thanks all

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

LinkedIn is going full boomer-Facebook complete with pictures of a computer screen rather than a screenshot or “share” 😐 comments were fun too.
