What exactly are you doing? It sounds like you're hitting the HR screening which means you need to apply more or apply more effectively. Cold applications are well and good at scale, particularly when combined with custom cover letters

Eh, that isn't quite true because determining the quality of the "result" is biased by our opinion of its author and, equally important, how they present their results. Race and sexual orientation impact your speech patterns

I can see why someone would be like wtf if their "viking" input produced less than 90% white people results, but there should be an equal wtf if "CEO" produced 90% men. One is a historical fact that is never going to cha

I don't think it will be pure shit, no, but at the point I can't physically do fun things anymore (whenever you think that will be) there really isn't much let to DO which means your relationships are going to be clutch. And

Yep. I was raised moving a lot and assumed I'd do the same as an adult. But then I thought of how rarely my parents saw their parents. And how much I love my parents and siblings. I ended up marrying a man who also traveled a lot as a

Whoa. My siblings and I were in and out of my family house throughout our 20s. Hell, during COVID a bunch of us moved back in in our 30s, kids in tow. And we spend HOURS per day with our parents when living at home, even when teens. Evening

Huh. I guess I see the sacrifice as making my old-person life not shit not because I have kids. So I'm investing prime years so the potentially long amount of time I'm all aged has more meaning/purpose/love in them. I&#x

I have a dog. I totally thought having a kid would be like having a dog. In the sense that I do a bunch of shit with my dog that I don't necessarily want to do and she is often a burden to things I want to do (mainly travel) but, in ag

I know that I come from a family of five and was starved for attention. My husband comes from a family of 2 and felt he always got attention when he wanted it. Like some of my strongest memories are of leaving notes for my Mom about how I f

I also went to boarding school at 13. I wonder if just giving your kids more freedom would have a comparable impact.

Agreed. I moved back in with my Dad with my husband. I'm 32, hubby is 30. He had two strokes and my little sister didn't want to be the only one nearby. It's been 6 months. Is it the easiest? No. But it's amazing to have

Huh. I'm surprised to hear this. I have a liberal arts degree, and I had zero issue getting a job after going through a bootcamp 6 years ago. My brother-in-law did the same 3 years ago. My husband last year. He literally doesn't e

Yes. You didn't really negotiate. Ideally you interview broadly, then use the higher offers at companies that aren't you top choice to boost the offers from companies that aren't your top choice that offered less---and then u

Nice theory. And yet I seem to run into so many men who have a death grip on porn and a dead bedroom.

I generally agree with you. Certainly 50%/50% is insane when the pipeline itself isn't giving you that percentage of qualified candidates based on objective measurements. However, as other have mentioned, there are already biases

This is literally how I found out that I had a half-brother. 23andMe. I looked up family members, for fun. WHAM, half brother. I called my dad who, after some prodding, confirmed it was his child. I reached out. The man knew he was adopted.

Totes. You actually hear this exact argument from quite a few people who escaped poverty and become successful. They did it, so anyone can do it!

by morgtheborg 8y ago
Yea, we reconnected with a half-brother on our Dad's side. Jeezum. It's just so clear, it's weird.

> Nobody on either side believes this; the right judges the left as communists destroying America and the left judges the right as Nazis destroying America, that's the nature of politics. This attitude is the exact sort of attitude

Yes, this problem exists on both sides of the aisle. Loud, crazy people who the other side assumes is a stand-in for the entire group or at minimum has the support of everyone else since few are calling them out. It's a problem.

1. Repeat their own perspective back to them, validating how awesome they are for having it. Seriously. Find the origin/axiom of their perspective from their POV, which is usually something rather commendable, and be clear that you thi

Oh, I misunderstood. Saying that gay marriage is disgusting reads to me as calling out the policy, NOT saying that gays are disgusting. I completely agree that calling a group of human being disgusting is an uncalled for, personal attack th

I'm sure that's true. I haven't personally lived in a conservative area in America for any extended period of time. Hopefully we can both agree these are bad things to occur due to race, gender, sex, political orientation, et

Pro-life as a man = sexist because you're trying to control women Strict immigration laws, particularly around deportation or punishments for illegal entrance = racist Lowering or abolishing minimum wage = racist and you hate the poor

Look, it's HARD to see the other side. I get it. But take a beat. No one is asking you to sit quietly. Your welcome to disagree. We expect the conservative to be able to hear about your approval (from their perspective) of the violent

Jesus Christ. That is exactly the attitude that auto demonizes you when you share conservative viewpoints at work. You might as well have asked, "Am I so wrong in knowing I'm right and they're sexist, racist assholes?"

> racism/sexism/etc Quite a few conservative positions are put under the heading sexist/racist/etc unfairly. It's a pretty neat way to stop conversation in its tracks.
