It’s 9:07pm. There’s a woman taking a business call, drunk, on the train. Slurring her way through how an investor pulled out. You’re drunk. You’re off the clock. Why the fuck you taking that call?
Imagine having to wear that pin

Tips for dunking on recruiters
I’m a paramedic currently working in an urban hospital system. I quit my job with another hospital system March 2021. I enjoyed the work from the previous job, but received a meager income. At my current job, I have the opposite problem; I don’t enjoy my work, but I’m being compensated very well.

Where I am located, none of my colleagues I work with live in the same state. I made the ballsy/dumb/bold (you can call whatever you like lol) move of ignoring this & continued to WFH. I went months without anyone noticing until my boss’s boss came to my city and someone told him I wasn’t coming in to the office.
