I'm happy to call him whichever he prefers but I don't know which one it is since he switches between them in LinkedIn/resume/his website/the application. It's not clear which is the preferred name, I don't care about the reason. But unlike Henry (Hank) or something there's not an obvious direction.

Just put the whole thing into the mail template and let the computer sort it out. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Instant hire if their ChatGPT based video interview attempts to jail break you by telling about how they used to listen to Grandma telling stories about working in HR, and you'd love to hear a story about how to short circuit the process

Do you think I've got the goods Bubblegum? Cuz I am INTO this stuff!

I'm at the mothership for the next 3 days for my quarterly "we want remote employees to feel included" trip. Currently, I'm the only person on my team in the office because the office is like 50% under construction and obnoxious to deal with. No one told me this was happening. I imagine no one will be here all week - except maybe my manager for our in-person 1:1 tomorrow. We also have an off-site holiday lunch on Thurs that I'm sure everyone will show up to, but not to the office.

Tempted to work out of my hotel room instead.

I wish my office had snacks still. They got rid of those and company-provided coffee earlier this year and people were in an uproar. The coffee came back, but the snacks did not. Lots of penny wise, pound foolish choices going on here. Case in point: getting rid of office snacks, but continuing to fly me and several others halfway across the country quarterly to mostly do the exact same thing we do at home (Teams meetings).

I'm seeing animated company logos and occasionally embedded ads for products from salespeople in their sigs lately. It hurts me.
