Antiwork

This 3rd party recruitment company I made the mistake of getting involved with through indeed, called me 6 times from 3 different number and sent 5 texts in 1 HOUR about the same job. I set boundaries about communication and threw in to not even send me opportunities that are below a certain pay rate.

I told them I'm cutting off contact for the rest of the day and I'm sticking to that, they're visibly squirming. There's no lesson or advice in this, it just feels good to stand up for myself against businesses that don't respect my time.

This was a few months ago and I have a new job now that treats me way better, but I have been reflecting on my previous job.

I started my career out of college there and spent the past 5 years working hard to help them grow and make their antiquated processes more efficient (the amount of paper these dinosaurs used and lack of functional software was astounding). I built multiple databases which allowed them to acquire more assets and access information quickly, switched them to another software which improved analytics, accounting, and operations, and their portfolio tripled under my time there.…
