It's wild age discrimination starts so early in our current culture. Nobody stays w/the same co. for decades anymore so why should it matter if someone has decades left of working life or not? If they're good enough you'd want to keep them around that long they'll be gone in 2-5 years anyway 🤨
Remove dates of when you graduated college, and remove dates on jobs that go back more than 10-15 years. Summarize those as "other previous positions include..." and just list the titles and companies.
Again: did this with my mom's resumes and she started getting calls again. I also do it on mine

My wife (early 40s) is job hunting and it seems to be an issue already. Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks.

If you're going to call someone "evil" over anything - no, literally a n y t h i n g - involving fictional fanfiction that is not real and that nobody gets paid for doing imma need you to take several giant steps back and go sit in the corner until you can behave like a fucking grown-up

Utterly baffled by this person who would rather be transferred to voicemail multiple times rather than let me go find the info they need and email it to them 🤨

When the enormity of the world's horrors makes you feel helpless, narrow your focus. Find one stranger and scold them for posting a recipe while kids are dying. Call out a new mom for not adding alt text to a baby photo. Critique a selfie. Correct a joke. Show people you care more than them.

I'm reminded here of something @alexandraerin.com wrote about a while back. The "Shirley Exception".
As in, "surely they'll have exceptions for situations like this. Surely no state would literally force people to give birth. Surely they would do..."
There is no Shirley.

this is not a callout of anyone and I’m grateful they’re on the morally correct side of this but I keep seeing men being genuinely shocked about the idea of a state forcing a woman to give birth and I sort of just feel like …. the women in your life have been telling you it would come to this

Unless you're a tipped worker, in which case it's $2.13. Yes, in 2023. Yes really.
Jesus dude I didn't realize the $7.25 minimum wage was still in effect anywhere, let alone the entire south

Yeah from what I read the error rate is a feature not a bug. They want to deny ppl necessary medical care so they get richer. It's fucking despicable, not that I should be surprised
Not only have UnitedHealth and C8gna been exposed, they're getting big-time sued.
UnitedHealth alone had a 90% error rate for denials.
Ninety. Fucking. Percent.

Lest you think this is a joke, both Cigna and United Health were recently exposed for using AI to deny claims.

You can't know what you don't know. idk abt elsewhere but in the US the pro-Israel propaganda machine is so powerful it may surpass the pro-America machine. It can be hard to even realize there are other viewpoints, much less valid ones. Give ppl a break if they're just now finding their way out

Yeah I think this is true. The issue is that people have different definitions of "good" and "positive impact"
Also I think there's an important distinction bw people who "try to be" good people and those who think they "are" good people (and therefore nothing they do could really be that bad)

My default assumption about everyone is that they try to be good people and that they genuinely want to have a positive impact on the world. I don’t know if that’s evidence-based or not but I think it keeps me from spending more time than I’d like hating or yelling at strangers.

People like to help. The other week a group of buff dudes /lifted up my car/ to get me out of a stupid situation I had done to myself just because they happened to be there at that moment.
So much this.
Ask an individual for help in an emergency, even a complete stranger, and there's a good likelihood of getting aid.
Generically ask for help in a crowd, and watch everyone fall under the Somebody Else's Problem field.

jfc if you're actually serious about a lawsuit going anywhere, the only thing you say about it publicly is "we cannot comment on pending/ongoing litigation" 🙄🙄🙄
OK maybe I can make an exception and make ONE post on Twitter.
