Playing phone tag with 2 recruiters today (1 internal, 1 external). Between this and the AI ATS no wonder hiring is broken

Just saw a job posting call hybrid "part time remote working" 😑

Job posting that aligns really well with my skillset. 😁 4 days in office. ☹️

Officially over 100 jobs applied for as of today. I've been actively looking since February 2025. Thankfully not unemployed but haven't been happy at work for almost 2 years now. I'm exhausted

UK UXR people, How is the contracting market at the moment? I know the regular market is not great, is contracting the same?

I will explain this whole story in plain English for you: OpenAI did not fully isolate their experimental environment from the internet, accidentally leaving in place a software program that could access the open internet for updates. Agents exploited it, which is what they are structured to do.

Starmer would rather book eating psychopath Matt Goodwin get a seat in parliament than another Green MP. They're cowards, and they're enabling the hard right.

Not everything in my life is going great right now But at this current moment in time my husband is playing video games on the couch while I flip flop between reading, Tiktok and idle games and both my cats are resting on the couch with us. I couldn't have created a better moment.

WELL WELL WELL WELL

I'm decent with my money and earn a generally good wage, but nothing but new JSA payments since November left me especially keen this month

Reminder they've partnered with ICE before (in 2020) and fired the internal whistleblower who released it to the press

Stumbled onto a Industrial playlist. Have now spent a better half of today reaching flow state that I haven't achieved since text based RPG writing in high school.

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse. 🙋We asked its customers what should happen next. 54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector. Read the full results here.

An annoying thing I am noticing in job listings. Remote role, unless you live in London (I do), then we're hybrid and you need to come in 2 days a week. I pay a ton of money for my home in London, don't make me leave it.

Behind but major flaw in ST5 Holly would be a product of stranger danger. She would have had NEVER EVER EVER EVER talk to a stranger drilled into her brain from birth. Strange man approaching her in the library? She would have never made friends.

Honestly 2025 was downhill after my honeymoon in May. I was SO dissatisfied with my job that I never got back into things after I took 3 weeks off. Probably early stages of burnout. If I wasn't so bitter about the drop in salary I've had to take, and the lack of settlement money I would be grateful

I didn't even attempt this. I am not a dancer.

I did not do this but I did get to the boss battle once.

Final day of unemployment tomorrow, so let's review if I achieved anything. 1 - Sort of. Finished 2, DNF'd 1. Still reading last. 2 - 9/30 hour course. I want to get back into this. 3 - 1 time. There's nothing I want to see. 4- ✅ 5 - Sort of. I find it hard when it's cold, and it has been.

Went to see My Neighbour Totoro on the West End last night. Dare I say, more magical than the original film because of the puppets.

Funemployment (yes I found a job, I start in January) means going full in on the Christmas cooking and baking. ✅ Crispy Crunch (cereal treats) ✅ Cinnamon swirl snickerdoodles Sugar cookie bars Scottish Shortbread ✅ Homemade Cranberry Sauce ✅ Get ahead gravy Do I add another cookie to the list? 🤔

I understand that teams are busy right now and things are stressful. But gosh the mistakes, and then incompetence leading to confusion I've received from customer support when trying to correct. Just let me spend my money and provide the thing I've purchased, can't believe it's so difficult.

Everyone freaking out about Friends leaving Netflix... BUY THE DVD GET A DVD PLAYER Physical media is the only (legal) way to ensure you always have access to your favourite media

As opposed to extremely serious parties who base themselves wholly on real issues like, say, Reform who claim that all of the country's ills are caused by a few thousand refugees and want to solve this by deporting every Brown person in the country.

'Chat GBT' 'Chap GPT' If you can't even say or spell it correctly you shouldn't be using it

When your old, cheapskate company makes a tiktok and with AI and you get to relish in all the comments being 'Ew, AI'

Just learned I'll probably be furloughed from work for the last two weeks of the year so here's to starting the new year with none monies if u know any copywriter jobs especially in UX hit your girl up I'm very good and I'm dying here

Not loving the current 'marketing via apology' trend going on right now. Especially since these companies do have things they probably should be apologising for

Royal mail checkout doesn't use Cloudflare but Mastercard 3D Secure does 🤦

Exemplifying the "yes, you can just do things" approach @prisonculture.bsky.social encourages, @thellpsx.bsky.social, @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social and Alice Wong started Crips for Esims for Gaza. Unpaid, and w no formal organization, they've raised $3,000,000 US chuffed.org/project/crip...

Interesting how in the CS I was brought forward for an interview at a G7 role, but only scored 2.33/5 for a HEO role. Application process for the 2.33 was very different from standard, it was through a system called "Applied" and did not follow the usual CS format.
