Lauren McDonald’s Post

You've all been brainwashed into thinking your less than you are and many of you - it's so disgusting what happens to job seekers and those fearing losing their jobs. #GOGOGO #youvegotthis

That genie? She's so out of the bottle. Inflation IS taxation. #GOGOGO #youvegotthis

Are you hearing about impending layoffs with BIG numbers in PHARMA? #GOGOGO #youvegotthis - if you're hearing about other industries you can always PM me. thank you!

Thank you Hotel Healdsburg, h2 hotel & Harmon Guest House THANK YOU HOTEL HEADLSBURG for an amazing stay. I know when we were there (on vacation thank you very much for 10 nights) there were a lot of people on business. They were intimate dinners and meetings. I peeked through at a training and saw a leadership training (first thing on the board: leadership is about thinking 3 years ahead hell yes). I wanted to share how incredible my stay was here in case anyone is looking for a space in Sonoma for a work event. I did ZERO work (well posting on LinkedIn every morning bc I have to) but it was for my family. We lost 3 family members in less than one year and needed a place to reconnect and relax. My little boy took intensive art classes for one week which was great and I disconnected from my laptop. Grateful SO very grateful for my clients who gave me time and my space to re-energize and take a break. I'm back baby. Get ready. I'm refreshed and ready to go with the KUKU economy and all the shenanigans getting thrown at us. Thanks Hotel Healdsburg we'll see you again this SPRING. #GOGOGO #youvegotthis https://lnkd.in/es7ck_yP

I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sick of SENIOR FLIPPING people telling other SENIOR PEOPLE that they will hear next steps OR STAY EFFING TUNED. STAY TUNED FOR WHAT? WHY STAY TUNED WHEN THE COMING ATTRACTIONS ARE THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A PHONE TO CALL THEM OR THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE EMAIL!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Next week I am going to start calling the CEO's of all the companies who ghost and reach out to their BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORTING THIS. Who can stop me? NO ONE. NO ONE PUTS THIS B in the Corner. AND THEN GHOST THEM? YOU WANT TO WORRY ABOUT BRANDING? YOU SHOULD WEAR THE LETTER G like a RED A for GHOSTING. Seriously you're schmucks. Simply PUT: SCHMUCKS. It's disgusting. YOU LOOK LIKE HACKS AND SLOPPY AND YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE A DIME OVER $200K and those who do I hope one day you get fired and have to ENDURE what you're putting people through - GROSS GROSS GROSS. G IS FOR GHOSTING. G IS FOR GHOST. GROSS. #GOGOGO #youvegotthis

Please slow down on calling people in your career mentors. It's exhausting. Most aren't your mentors - many of them are your managers and bosses. Sorry to say this but it's silly. Where are all these "mentors" when you need a role and you're networking? Many of them ghost you. I'll you know you can learn from people and they can take you under their wing but if they're GHOSTING you when you're NETWORKING (gag) you shouldn't attach your wagon to their star. BE YOUR OWN MENTOR. Give yourself the credit - you're the one doing the work. It's like when people used to say their WORK WIFE OR WORK HUSBAND. It made me bonkers. WTF. Companies are NOT your family. They are an entity you work for that will lay you off faster than you can say CAKE if they need to cut overhead. YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR CAREER - NOT YOU. Stop giving everyone else credit for the blood sweat and tears you put into your legacy. Enough is enough. Let's keep our feet on the ground and focused. This is a confusing scary time. The person to credit it you not your mentor/workwifeworkhusband/yadayadayadayada. :) HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYONE. LFG. #GOGOGO #youvegotthis

Don't let them gaslight you into thinking you're worth LESS. Many of these companies failed miserably but the C Suite will still brag they went to an Ivy League School. They're really just grifters and they're going to make you feel bad about gaps on their resumes. Eff em. #gogogo #youvegottbis

If you've ever been described as moody please know this comes across when interviewing multiple times. Maybe higher some days - crankier on others. What matter is a good balance - I know you're interviewing with so many different types and it's frustrating but your frustrations with it aren't their problem or their responsibility. Please keep this in mind when you interview - it matters SO SO MUCH. LFG. HUGE HUG! #GOGOGO #youvegotthis PS if you respond that the interviewER is cranky - I get that but they have the job already. I have dealt with CRANKY AF interviewERS for a kajilion years. PRETEND YOU ARE SUSAN LUCCI!!!! PLEASE! #GOGOGO #youvegotthis
