i was just on a call where one of our HR leads kept talking about the "war on talent," and I had to remind them that we are fighting a war FOR talent, not actually attacking our employees.

taking a kid-free trip to Chicago in December.
Restaurant recommendations please !
I think I would like a new job. The mortgage world is pretty bleak (even if the business unit I run is growing). How does one pivot industries after 11 years?
Lmk if you figure it out. Going back to school is the obvious path for most people but I’m a little too far in for it to make sense from a financial perspective. Being part of a bigger company hypothetically gives me more avenues for advancement (my original thinking at least) but so many here have such a narrow view of “you’ve done X and been good at it so this is now the path for you”. Very frustrating.

Start with clarity on what you're looking for by answering these questions: Why are you searching for a new job? What are you looking for in your next job?
Then identify your needs/wants for each of the following areas that lead to job satisfaction: The Role, The Environment (Physical work space / industry), and People & Culture.
Once you're clear on those things you can do the research to map your needs/wants to a role in a new industry and then it's a matter of building your resume to speak to your ability to deliver value in the types of roles you are seeking. When making a pivot, you'll probably want to spend more time building/using your network to get your foot in the door at your target employers, bypassing recruiters/hr as much as possible and getting to hiring managers or people who can introduce you to hiring managers.
I used a coach who specializes in this kind of thing to make my own transition recently and highly recommend. Would be happy to DM the name if you're interested.
The boys' nanny thought that their little union jack socks were confederate flag socks and I am just flabbergasted by that.
Our ancestors fought a fucking WAR so we didn't have to put the union jack on our baby's feet !! Throw those socks into Boston Harbor !!
