Is “The Left” in the room with us?

Same! So happy to see I’m not the only one. Blue light regulates our sleep cycle by inhibiting melatonin production. During the daytime, I need my bright lighting.

Highly recommend switching to pine litter and a sifting litter box for this reason. You can get a 40lb bag of pine litter at Tractor Supply and other similar stores for less than $10.

This video is a great breakdown

This is the best advice I’ve seen on small talk, and how to get a flow going. Thank you

I applied to a small tech company back in late 2021, when everywhere was hiring like crazy. It was my first full time role, but I have my bachelor’s and had work experience.

Overall I had:

• a phone screen with the recruiter
• a video interview with the recruiter for the specific role
• a video interview with HR
• a cognitive aptitude test online
• a personality test online
• an interview with a team member from the department hiring
• a take home assessment that I completed then went over on a video call/interview with my would-be manager and the same team member

I also had my credit checked, and had to provide 3 references which were all called.

The job paid $36,000. Though it is definitely getting worse, these people have always been out of touch. My company was just ahead of the times, I guess.

When I left last year, they had just excitedly announced that they would be using video interview question submissions for all candidates going forward. The only feedback I gave in my exit interview was that I wouldn’t apply today with the required video interviews.
