She had one of the most fascinating stories ever told by a caller or guest on the show. I have to disagree with Zach; she was very well spoken for someone calling into a live show who’s not a professional entertainer like most of their guests. Even though it was longer than other viewer calls, she was not repetitive and her narrative was only occasionally derailed by Ethan’s questions.
On top of that, Anonymous is an actual survivor of stalking and harassment. The lengths her ex “DJ” went to are SO similar to how Joe Goldberg acts on Netflix’s “You”. Getting to hear a survivor’s perspective of being stalked and manipulated for several years is an incredibly rare opportunity.
HE KEPT HER USED TAMPONS AND BROKE INTO HER HOUSE TO STEAL HER PHONE.
I understand wanting to keep things light during the Monday livestreams but come on. If the guys had been paying attention they would have realized she was on the final anecdote.
If you only have the attention span for poop stories, don’t bother trying to tackle calls from survivors.
Edit: I love the crew, I love the show and I love how both have evolved over the years! This isn’t meant to contribute to the bad-faith hate-posts targeted at E+H and the crew. My hope is that Anonymous is enjoying the rest of her evening and the crew considers how they interact with viewers sharing personal stories more thoughtfully. I look forward to H3’s goofs and gaffs every week; imo this was just more gaff than goof.
So I have gone through 2 rounds of interviews with a highly regarded banking firm. The first interview was over zoom with the VP and President of the company who I would be supporting. At the end of that call, they requested to meet for dinner to discuss the position further in a more casual interview setting. I think it went really well and when I asked about next steps, they said the next step is an offer and they are looking to fill the position by the end of the week. They also said they had a few more interviews to conduct (this dinner was on Tuesday, I got the recruiter email on Wednesday to schedule a call for Friday because Thursday was a bank holiday). The recruiters email said this:
Hi x!
I wanted to touch base regarding your interview for the Executive Assistant Role to the President in insert: city. Please let me know when you have some time to connect on Friday. Thank you!
Do you think this will be a rejection or an offer? I’m so nervous 😩
Edit: I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!! They matched my salary expectations and I was their final candidate. So excited, thanks everyone for all the replies and congratulations 😊
Have a video call scheduled this week after a lengthy interview process. Hoping it’s good news. Been looking for close to a year. Other rejections have come via email, phone call or good ol’ ghosting. Wasn’t sure if doing it via video is a thing? Feels like a huge recipe for disaster for both parties.
UPDATE: it was a call letting me know they’re “revising” the job description. Not great news but not worst case scenario either.
I'm used to getting the standard rejection emails but this job description is basically is my resume. It feels like a perfect fit. Had a great screening call and I really felt like I had a good chance to make it to the next round.
I wouldn't normally reach out but would it be totally off base if I asked the person I did the screening with why I didn't make the cut?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking forward to our Tuesday meeting on "2022 - Thoughts, Feelings, and Goals". At this time, I'm collecting shares on that theme to be read anonymously at our meeting on Tues, Dec 28.
Got a share about thoughts, feelings, and goals for 2022? DM about 4-6 sentences to me, u/annie_m_m_m_m. I will compile the shares in a document to be read at the meeting. I will not include your username on the document. Or feel free to use a throwaway account for your DM for even more security :)
Thank you so much to all contributors. Your share will help kickstart our discussion on our personal perceptions as we head into 2022.

I think we all know that one kid who played high school and middle school sports all through school and was one of the so-called "jocks" or multi-sport athletes who we all thought at one point or another was gonna go college or pro and we all thought they were so great at their craft or sport. I knew that same kid that all the girls or guys drooled over and the athletes who believed in their coach's attitude about winning and trying hard to succeed.
usually, their would-be tryouts for spots on the team at the start of each season, and the less "experienced" or less athletically coordinated wouldn't be as lucky to make the team as the chosen star athlete that the coach already planned on making the team at the start of the tryouts because the coach has seen or managed this athlete on their team before and feel they're more of a positive fit to their roster then the kids who have never tried out for a sport in their life and end up making the team because a no-cut or no tryouts so everyone makes the team policy is put in place to avoid lawsuits, kids retaliating against the school because they are upset ect.
but what happens to those "all-star athletes" who have been playing since middle school have to share the same team as an athlete who really wanted to play a school sport but doesn't work as hard or doesn't meet the coaches expectations about how to be a successful volleyball or soccer player what happens if they don't do a lot during practice or do very minimal compared to the traditional high school athlete maybe they still don't know how to play the sport as well because they don't practice or play the sport outside of the team's actual practice because to them high school athletics is another after school club or they have a metabolism that they don't have to work for anything on the team because there are no tryouts, therefore, they are automatically guaranteed a spot on a team.
athletic tryouts are beneficial for a number of reasons including teaching kids about life long lessons about working hard for something like a spot on the team even though they may never get that spot they learn about perseverance and never giving up on something you believe in even though you may still fail another reason why tryouts are beneficial is the coaches and staff might have enough problems managing the capacity of the team already what happens if the team has limited equipment or practice space??? furthermore tryouts are beneficial if you want your team to

In that moment, even if the Master finds a way to kill all the slaves, the slaves are no longer slaves...they are free."

I really don't know what to say. I honestly froze when I saw it, not so much because of the word, (this pails in comparison the harassment in the real world I have received for other things) but because I now have an idea of who in the fandom has been sending me these messages for the past three months and has been harassing me non-stop and it hurts like a bitch. And this wasn't a common racial slur that someone just threw in to be an edgy asshole...this was put there with intent.
This person knows one of my racial identities. (I'm mixed race but am white-passing) and I know for a fact I had never talked publically on my fandom spaces about my racial identities. (then again maybe I did it on here or did and forgot about it) but it's not something that I have in my profile bios or something that I mention and talk about all the time. I have never even posted a picture of myself on any of those.
Which means one of five things...this person (or people) hate me to the point of stalking my fandom social media and found something I don't even remember posting or replying with to use against me, they just got super lucky and picked the right racial slur or they are from one of the private chats my fandom had when we were working on a fanzine (which means one of the people on there is probably the culprit of this).
If that last part is the case then...fuck...I really don't know how to feel about that...just sad and alone and this is really the only place I can say anything about it because I can't get angry in those fandom spaces.
Like seriously...because I am white-passing most people don't know my other race so I have never had an insult like this...it's happened to my family members in front of me who don't pass as white and to friends and in stories, I heard them talk about...but never to me.
And to know these people who pride themselves on how "progressive" they are and to know they hate me more than they love their "progressive ways" is a terrible feeling.
Fuck man...
I live with family in a transitory state right now so don't really have the option to tell them to be quiet/move to a quieter place etc
Most sources of noise comes from my uncle in the next room. There's a thin wall only and he's usually playing his TV very loud (loud enough that I can hear what the people on the TV are saying easily). I'm looking for a headset that won't pick up this background noise. Bonus points if it also is noise cancelling on my end as well so I don't have to hear his TV. Where my desk is, is against the wall with his TV right on the other side of the wall. I could move the desk to the other side of the room but that would only make about a 6-7ft difference.
Would prefer over ear style with a decent level of comfortability
Budget is $300.
Eh eh
I am one of the few people that seem to still have a landline (cheap rate international calls and crap mobile signal) but it gets bombarded with silent calls, usually 4 a day. I think because i'm on 0207 it is the most likely to get hit by autodialers.
Plusnet offer two features to mitigate this, Anonymous Call Rejection for £4 and Plusnet Call Protect which is free.
Plusnet call protect only works when someone dials out with a caller ID which no respectable cold caller does though I recently found out you can forward international, withheld and unknown numbers through call protect. Is this a free service or is it another name for Anonymous Call Reject and i'll get charged £4 a month. I don't really fancy buying plusnet a pint every month just to stop the phone ringing
Cheers
edit: it looks free, it was just confusing that they'd offer the same service twice in the same breath in their marketing
Someone (I want to say a woman) was called by the same number for years and had the police look into it as a stalking case but they didn’t find anything. It turned out an old utility (gas I think) meter that used to be in her house had been set up to call when it needed servicing and this had been somehow switched back on.
I don’t remember when I read about this but it wasn’t in the last 5 years I think.
