Um, so I only recently stumbled on Book Outlet (after hearing about it everywhere) and they‘re currently having a sale… so my finger slipped and I bought some books. 🫣
Hey my #SpookyGhostClub! I don‘t want to bombard you with too many posts and tags, so if you‘re on the lookout for more events happening this October, bingo boards to play, or Scarathlon posters… check out the link to the Google drive folder where we‘ve been saving everything. Feel free to add to it too, if you see we‘re missing anything! Happy haunting, my lovelies!

Another fun day to be a recruiter at Google! *insert sarcastic look here* - Today started with an ominous note and a last minute meeting added to our calendars, at which time we were informed that there would be a "significant reduction" to the recruiting org globally. We then had to wait a few hours to see if we got an email layoff notification. I did NOT lose my job today, but my motivation is gone and now I'm just looking for an escape hatch ?
bailedI hate bailing on any book but 80 some pages in I just lost all interest in reading this anymore. It‘s not a bad book and if your into tech and weird stuff this book is for you, just not for me. I guess I‘m just not as nerdy as I thought 🤣🤣

pickMostly Pick. It lost me a few times in the confusion of the many characters and some of the tech/coding. Amusing, fascinating premise.

I've been adrift since Friday but wanted to say thank you for the sweet messages on my last post. It's been incredibly tough (feels like it's been a month). My team was cut in HALF bc of Google's layoffs, during our busy season. So it's been a mix of grief, panic, 3x the work, and struggling to feel good about a company I was once proud to work for (but I also need to pay the bills). At least I read 20 books this month before it all went to shit!
Welp, Google is now the latest tech company to do mass layoffs. While I was personally not fired (yet, thankfully) it has been an AWFUL day to say the least. Slowly discovering which friends and colleagues got AN EMAIL at 4am to inform them. The seemingly random way they chose people, including high performers (like they threw darts at a board), has been disheartening. I have survivors guilt, fear for my future, and my anxiety is through the roof.
