Anybody else see all the lame LinkedIn “Look at me, I’m in Cannes!l” posts thinking that it feels a lot like the orchestra continuing to play on the deck of the Titanic as it slowly sank? The ad industry, especially the HoCo world is in turmoil with massive layoffs, unprecedented job uncertainty and a very questionable future, yet all these “executives” jet off the France to drink wine, party, take turns watching each other sit on lame panels and pass out meaningless awards. Pretty fascinating.

Leidos contacting me for some job I applied for 3 months ago when I was unemployed, saying their AI bot will get in touch. Clueless and tone-deaf. They could have mitigated it somewhat by saying something slightly less stupid, like, 'While your prior job application was not accepted, there may be other opportunities which VIOLET can share with you after a brief chat.' vs offering a status update on a clearly dead end application. (I got a job elsewhere anyway months ago)

Je voudrais souligner que j'ai eu l'opportunité de travailler dans le domaine de l'inventaire et de la logistique, ainsi que dans la communication avec des fournisseurs et des clients. Dans mon ancien poste, j'ai eu la responsabilité de gérer une équipe de 26 membres dans un grand magasin de beauté à Dubaï. Je suis fier de mes réalisations et de ma capacité à travailler en équipe pour atteindre les objectifs. Can i find job here?

Hi all — looking for advice. I applied for a role at Leidos and was in regular contact with the recruiter. I had to get a certification, which I did, but communication slowed afterward. Last month, she said the position had funding and that next steps should come soon. I’ve followed up since, but haven’t heard back. Is this normal for government/contract roles, or should I take it as a sign to move on?

Hello, I am considering offers from Northrop Grunman and Leidos. I have already accepted the offer from NG as it came first, but I finally received my offer from Leidos. I was wondering if anyone could let me know how the overall work culture is between those two companies. I'm very interested in both companies, but I have to make final decisions soon!

Hey ex-McK friends - am looking for an old version of the LDM, think like 2019/2020 (in my opinion the best version), but will take whichever version someone has. Been thinking about it a lot lately and hoping for a reference doc. Pls DM to share PDF!! Thank you in advance!

Any Bali expert here? My wife and I are going there for 12 days for the first time. The only thing we’ve nailed so far is 4 nights in Ubud. The rest is up in the air. Would appreciate recs on how we should split the rest of our days. We’re open to any vibe tbh.

Not to be a party pooper, but am I the only one who thinks the Rubber Duck Durby is beyond ridiculous? I don't get it. But happy polluting the river with rubber ducks day for those of you who celebrate it, I guess.

Any fun, girly things to do in San Diego this weekend? Looking for a nice reset weekend, grabbing a great cup of coffee, sunset/ sunrise walks and mini scenic hikes, SD specific boutiques for shopping, farmers markets ?
