Oh yeah here's another place from my work place

It's stairs that no one uses

>team at work loses the majority(!) of its 20+ members over the course of the last 10 months due to terminations >boss needs us all to “step up” >everyone stretched thin >mistakes and oversights start to crop up, e.g. holes in a deployment/back-out plan are not caught in someone's predeployment review meeting because everyone there is hardly paying attention because they're busy >actual prod fuckup eventually happens >��how could this happen”

[st-just]

Ah the misery of needing specific directly applicable information from someone who is incapable of answering any question with less than five minutes of repetition interwoven with rambling anecdotes of whatever's on his mind.

Can anyone recommend quality of life boosters one might spend on?

All my hobbies are far more time intensive than money intensive so I don't actually have much of a way to go through money, and no clear ideas for how to treat myself.

Job hunting moodboard

[subway-dove]

the book of job is horrible. you are always right next to losing everything you have. not only what matters; it's what matters and all around it. how could this ever happen? how could he let it happen? these things should only happen to bad people, is the desperate argument, is the accusation, because how could the world be so unfair if it's a world worth living in? surely you deserve it, say those who want to think it can never happen to them. they delude themselves. they fear.

after taking away everything that matters, god, or the book of job, or whatever comes when you beg for it all to make sense, to be fair, tells you, more will matter, still. you will live and more will matter. and nobody wants to hear that, because who could ever stand that? it is worse because this is not the coward friend speaking for himself, not here. directly, it is the mystery, the truth, god, in this book, making it so that it will happen anyways. you will always carry your dead with you and yet more will matter and you cannot stop it from mattering. you will eat with people once more and you will love them viciously and the hole inside you will never close and never fill but your totality will not be the hole. it matters so much that it never fills. it matters so much that there is so much more.

the promise, concludes the book of job, because god is of promises, is that the horror will come from the love, and that the love will come from the horror, and that you will always have something you can love. it cannot work any other way. nobody will be spared. love leaves a hole that hurts, pulls, calls, remembers. isn't that wonderful? the love you pour into somebody else never gets to leave you. we will all, in time, become the hole that hurts, pulls, calls, remembers. nobody is spared. it's how it must be.

How to answer tough interview questions.

Subscribing to the Harvard Business Review was one of the best decisions I made. I have learned so much about career development, personal branding, and job crafting. This article summarizes some of the questions you will get asked in a behavioral interview (courtesy of HBR) and I have included my responses to all of them. Assume I am seeking a HR role in a Fortune 500 company

What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

Tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

I grew up in small country in West Africa. I went to a great school through scholarship with the condition that I would pay it forward to the younger generation. So, after high-school I spent two years teaching math to elementary school kids. It was there I discovered my interest of people development. I enjoyed taking a kid from "I don't like math to can I get more homework? When I moved to the U.S for college I chose to study Psychology with a minor in Organizational Development. And my internship as a Human Capital Manager has allowed me to further develop my communication and leadership skills.

How did you hear about this position?

I learned about this position through Stacy Williams. She was one of the panelists on the fireside chat I convened in my school on the importance of women in leadership positions. I followed up with her through a coffee chat. She really enjoyed her job and the company culture. Her enthusiasm about her work encouraged me to apply and I am really excited to be going through the interview process.

What type of work environment do you prefer?

I thrive in environments where I am constantly learning. A place where each days brings a fresh set of challenges that I can solve. I also like working with teams where we can collaborate on tasks and brainstorm solution-oriented ideas. In my former internship I worked with an incredible team as a project manager in the human resources division and I worked on certain projects where I had full creative control on the outcome. I enjoyed the balance of both.

How do you deal with pressure or a stressful situation?

Stressful situations are inevitable and I learned to navigate them successful throughout my college career and my various internships. The first time I came across a stressful situation was in my Sophomore year. I worked as a customer service representative at a big department store and it was holiday season. You can imagine the amount of pressure - long lines of customers all waiting to get attended too. Instead of succumbing to the pressure I made sure to really understand the pain point of each customer which were long wait times and stock outs. If we were out of one brand of sparkling water, I would quickly recommend a different brand. If lines were long, I would go to the floor to help the bagging process. Customers left feeling satisfied with their shopping experience. Overtime, I have realized that the key to dealing with pressure is willingly choosing to complete the tasks with a positive mindset instead of worrying.

Do you prefer working independently or on a team?

I like a mix of both. I enjoy working on a team. The process of strategizing with my teammates on the best way to approach a problem allows for critical analysis and diverse points of view. Wh I also build camaraderie and trust with them while we tackle big problems. I enjoy working alone as well because I get to see how I approach different problems and compare my current performance to my previous ones. Working alone also gives me an opportunity to get feedback from my managers on my progress or areas of improvement. I like a balance of both.

How do you keep yourself organized when balancing multiple projects?

I am used to working on multiple projects. A typical semester for me is juggling between my classes, weekend job, extracurricular activities, and passion projects. So to stay on top of my deadlines and due dates I like to prioritize my tasks based on their level of urgency and importance. I use the time blocking method to schedule time for my projects. I take advantage of tools like Google calendar to keep track of due dates and appointments and Notion to manage big projects.

What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

Last summer, I took some time off to really learn about veganism. It seemed intimidating at first because I did not know enough. So I turned to research to understand the facts. I began making home-cooked meals by following recipes from people I trusted and liked on YouTube. As I began noticing changes in my gut health and productivity levels, I started a blog to share my experiences. Now my blog has over 500 enthusiastic vegans who are on the same journey as I am. it was one of the best investment I made in myself.

The Big Pivot

Racial diversity in the workplace

the connection an employed person has to the work bathroom is stronger than any other possible bond

My new job has me in some wild places

This is the place I'm chilling in

The chair is at least somewhat comfortable

[lesbianchemicalplant]

desk neighbor is leaving for another company and his boss is potentially interested in poaching me to fill the position. which would be fulltime employee

It's admittedly kind of funny to tab from people talking about how genAI is going to totally reshape white color work across the globe to a job where knowing about the 'designer' feature on microsoft powerpoint and spending five minutes prettying up a presentation gets you compliments on what a great graphic designer you are.

Was worrying about making sure not to overshare or anything about my hobbies or views at the work christmas party, then coworker explains to me and organization leader how he's a major Sims streamer, almost all female audience but he doesn't make time to date. He loads up The Sims with as many deranged mods as possible, cannibalism, drug dealing, the sex mods, makes as ugly a character as possible and goes around impregnating other sims to make as many hideous babies as possible, sells drugs in schools, does everything he can to get as close to the streaming site ban limits but no further. 

So I felt a lot more comfortable saying I play Warhammer.
