Don't interview her, and let the candidate dodge an obvious bullet.

Hiring Manager - This is a really high priority position, we need candidates!

Also Hiring Manager - I don't like this perfectly qualified candidate because she is coming off of maternity leave and will probably need more time to "mom". Not interested.

I basically told her that was dumb (not to mention illegal) and to interview her.

I might have mentioned it before but with FedGov embracing full remote for IT positions a ton of new opportunities have been flooding the market. Including non-supervisory high-level positions (I exists on a scale of 1-15, and I'm a 13. 14s and 15s without supervisory duties are like hens teeth.)

I was going to wait until next year to start putting my resume out there (I've only been a -13 for 16 months) but some of these are pretty tempting. One of them is with the US Courts, developing cyber and risk curriculum to teach to court staff. Really interesting crossover of my skillsets.

The manager herself is a woman and a mom.

I can get the hesitancy to hire someone new that's 8 months pregnant. I don't like the idea that someone would do that. I think it's a total BS move, but I can understand it. They're going to work for a month and then go on materinity leave. Someone coming off maternity leave though? Seriously? Should send her the study showing millennial dads spend 3 times more time with their kids than previous generations. Not to mention the added housework that they do.

I'm not saying it's even steven, but millennials share the parenting more now than ever. That lady needs to educate herself.

My company is starting to make some murmurs about requiring more in-person time.

But, just got a follow-up regarding our specific role, all team/client/project specific, so no impending change. The only thing they seem intent on addressing is commutable distance stuff, people that moved off the radar are going to have to move back near an office location.

Were these people given approval before moving? If so, that's **** up if they're going to be required to move back.

Off the radar is probably a bad way to put it. The people impacted by this are campus hires that got hired at a hub city, but then moved back in with their parents after college, or do random stuff like, go rent a house in like maine with friends to live and work at.

This isn't people moving their families somewhere that will now have to move away.

Waiting on the call for my interview, which means I have to answer every call on my cell phone. Naturally, I'm getting a lot of calls about my car's warranty being expired.

I've spent the last two weeks hounding vendors for pricing on an auto door install that includes and electrician cutting a 6' trench in a concrete floor so that a bollard can be installed. Today I found out that there might not even be a ramp installed to access said auto door.

WTF is even the point.

We're having a non-supervisor town hall with our CIO this morning. It's an hour-long 'Open Forum' for people to raise issues without having their supervisor around. It's attended by about 50 people.

The first 25 minutes were spent on ONE PERSON talking about how property books are managed.

GTFO out of here with that.

Not a full suit, but my usual outfit of dress pants, sport coat, dress shirt, and tie.

We actually relaxed our dress code, and I could even be wearing shorts if I wanted to, but I don't want to. Putting on the "lawyer uniform" is part of how I get in the mindset to work.

Company just announced a "2% base-salary inflationary adjustment" for all employees excluding executives. Never seen an across the board adjustment before. If only inflation was actually 2%.

I'm so glad I'm no longer at my old job. We had so many meetings that we would have meetings about planning for meetings. At one point, more than half of my work week and about 7 hrs of my Thursdays were nothing but meetings.

Most of our meetings were death by powerpoint where one person read the slide show and one person (which I'm still not sure what his actual role was) would ask at least one question per slide.

Comcast is requiring their staff to come back to the office 3 days per week. This after being full time remote for 2.5 years. lol

We have paid them an arm and a leg over the last decade, but we've had great, fast reliable cable and internet the whole time. It's honestly an accepted cost at this point.
