  • I just told the truth. Personal time off, health and wellness, weight loss, surfing, travel, and yes vibing doing nothing.

    It went over well. Most interviewers were more interested in that than my professional experience. Most people can’t do that and want to know what it’s like.

    For my part, I don’t want to work for/with people who look down on that sort of thing.

    Warning: my resume is extremely strong so I have a lot of leverage. YMMV

    I said I miss learning through osmosis, when you hear colleagues talking about something you may have heard of or read about but never seen in real life. So you get hands on practical real life experience on new concepts - or vice versa, teach someone else something new. You know, a healthy exchange of knowledge and ideas to help each other learn and grow. Fuck me, right?

    This guy posted a 3000 word rant about how much he hates me, and he’s going to need weeks to prepare for that mentally and make sure he’s got the right outfit on and knows what kind of soda to offer me. Like dude wtf…



  • Some of the people here are downright scary in how toxic and antisocial they are. I just got called a social vampire in another thread for having the audacity to say I personally want to return to office because I miss learning from colleagues, which just doesn’t really happen when everyone is wfh. I’m pretty introverted myself but holy shit, the vitriol was intense. Unbelievable.
