2023.06.04 17:05 Pooper69poo Potential for a counteroffer?

I have hypothetical that might turn actual shortly:
Contacted by recruiter for job that pays 40k over market. But, requires in-office (these positions are rarely in office, those advertised as such just don’t get filled) Interviewed, got offer, included reloc. Lump sum payment with first check. But, like all the shit in the USA it’s at will, I can get rugpulled any sec. No guarantees of anything, and relocation cross country.
I’m giving two weeks to current job on Mon. They might counter.
Current gig: underpays market rate by 40k Fully remote, minimal BS, I feel like a fraud most days as I barely actually do much (might just be impostor syn.) Love the gig and the peeps, the pay is too low to survive in todays economy.(plus my dog needs a house with a backyard, ASAP)
If current gig says: what’ll it take for you to stay?
I know exactly what I want, I know it’s doable (they just had a jd out for a diff position that they hired for with the salary I would accept as the top of the range) And I would need a severance clause (none currently) ie pay for 3 mo or more, healthcare for 6. And allowance to move wherever I want (currently out “remote” is a per manager thing, not an actual policy, and the CEO was trying to push for onsite last year)
If they meet all that, immona have to ruin the recruiters day… what are the chances they blacklist me across all their offices? ( they are in one of the premier recruiters for these positions/specialty, and have offices across USA and elsewhere)
I don’t care much about the co that made the offer, or their feelings (full of boomers that demand in office) big publicly traded hellhole, etc.
Should I even consider a counter since I’m now a flight risk? Even though pay is the only reason? The only reason my predecessor in this position left was because of pay…
I need headless input plz

2023.06.04 17:02 laysthedischargepipe Job offer advice please.

Hello everyone. I'm here to ask for some advice.
Background: I've been with my company (large 1500ish employee non profit in a niche medical industry. US based) for 18 years.
In Match 2022 I went back to school to finish my Bachelor's degree (I got my Associates 20 years ago) as my organization has repeatedly stated that without the Degree I wouldn't climb any further. I received a promotion in February 2023 (salary from 135k to 155k) to Associate Director of a team of people doing much of the same work I'd been doing as a manager (but for the whole company now instead of just one area off the company).
New job is fine and the work I want to do. My team is great. The VP of the department is newish (hired Jun 2022) with the organization (company tends to keep some very long term employees so a year is not very long tenure). VP is making some changes and waves as expected. After the first few months, things are progressing okay and the new Assoc. Director position is going well. I was planning on evaluating new career options once I finished my degree since all comparable positions require the degree plus the experience I already have. Of note. As of 5/31 I've officially graduated with my BS in Business.
Situation: I received a call (in early April) from a former employee of mine who over 5 years ago moved across the country for a new job). He said his organization (he is currently a director in the same niche industry as my background) was looking for upper management (VP/Director level) in the functional area where I was recently promoted. He asked if he could give my name to the CEO. I said yes.
CEO called that day. We had a great conversation where he asked me to send my resume for review and that he'd be in contact. Received a call a few days later from CFO to schedule the interview. I fly across the country the second week of May.
Interview went well. New company is privatlely owned and for profit. Company has great 3 year growth and more growth projected. It is a smaller organization now with aggressive hiring plans to support the growth projections. We discuss the company and the VP/Director opportunity. I am interested. I am forthright about my existing salary (155k) and explain that to move across the country they offer would need to be higher than my existing. Benefits package is comparable.
I receive an offer for a Director position at (160k +20k relo bonus) which I seriously considered and ultimately politely declined. New offer was not a significant salary increase and would require relocating away from my family (who would stay in the home we bought in 2019 in our home state and my partner and I would rent in new state). The driver for the decline was both the position and money (With finishing my degree I will likely get Director in current company soon with a raise that would take me over the 160k offer). It is very exciting to think about moving and the new job, but I decided to decline. (Also of note- I did not mention any of this too current boss/company).
About a week later I received a counter from new company of VP/200k and they send the offer letter. I speak to the HR guy about the drug screening they do in order to inquire about their THC testing rules. I live in a recreationally legal state, new job is in a recreationally legal state, I live with 2 medical cannabis patients and sometimes partake. I am not concerned about passing with potentially low levels in my system. HR guy says THC is exclusionary for technical safety positions but discretionary by the company for management (no further clarification provided). We discussed a 7/3 or 7/10 start date to allow for me to give notice, find an apartment and move across the country but start date would depend on finalizing onboarding testing, background check etc.
That night (5/23) I sent the signed offer letter accepting the position.
And have not heard anything back from the company since. I sent a follow up email on 5/25 clarifying that I'd like to agree on a tentative start date.
I understand that this was over a holiday weekend, but at over 7 business days since sending signed letter, I am feeling ghosted. I've had some informal texts with the former employee who initially called me. The HR guy was out last week but now this week, back in the office as of Thursday 6/1. I called the HR guy Friday, received front desk who said HR guy was unavailable and that he'd get back to me. And has not.
So... that is my Schrodinger's Job Offer.
My partner and I are flying out Thursday this week to look at apartments... or have a little vacation if this has indeed fallen through...
Advice?
I do love my current job. But a VP opportunity at that salary is too good to pass up and say no. I feel like not taking the chance would be a failure. BUT in the event of worst case scenario and the new company is flaking.. I still have and love my job.
I am considering having a sit down with my Director to let her know off the situation and that I'm considering the offer. Is that a good idea?
Help please! Thank you!!
tldr: Exciting job offer received with drug test required. Formally discussed THC in drug tests with new Haccepted terms,, signed/accepted/returned offer letter and now have been ghosted without contact or receiving any onboarding info. Help please!

2023.06.04 17:00 laysthedischargepipe Schrodinger's Job Offer: Liking for advice.

Hello everyone. I'm here to ask for some advice.
Background: I've been with my company (large 1500ish employee non profit in a niche medical industry. US based) for 18 years.
In Match 2022 I went back to school to finish my Bachelor's degree (I got my Associates 20 years ago) as my organization has repeatedly stated that without the Degree I wouldn't climb any further. I received a promotion in February 2023 (salary from 135k to 155k) to Associate Director of a team of people doing much of the same work I'd been doing as a manager (but for the whole company now instead of just one area off the company).
New job is fine and the work I want to do. My team is great. The VP of the department is newish (hired Jun 2022) with the organization (company tends to keep some very long term employees so a year is not very long tenure). VP is making some changes and waves as expected. After the first few months, things are progressing okay and the new Assoc. Director position is going well. I was planning on evaluating new career options once I finished my degree since all comparable positions require the degree plus the experience I already have. Of note. As of 5/31 I've officially graduated with my BS in Business.
Situation: I received a call (in early April) from a former employee of mine who over 5 years ago moved across the country for a new job). He said his organization (he is currently a director in the same niche industry as my background) was looking for upper management (VP/Director level) in the functional area where I was recently promoted. He asked if he could give my name to the CEO. I said yes.
CEO called that day. We had a great conversation where he asked me to send my resume for review and that he'd be in contact. Received a call a few days later from CFO to schedule the interview. I fly across the country the second week of May.
Interview went well. New company is privatlely owned and for profit. Company has great 3 year growth and more growth projected. It is a smaller organization now with aggressive hiring plans to support the growth projections. We discuss the company and the VP/Director opportunity. I am interested. I am forthright about my existing salary (155k) and explain that to move across the country they offer would need to be higher than my existing. Benefits package is comparable.
I receive an offer for a Director position at (160k +20k relo bonus) which I seriously considered and ultimately politely declined. New offer was not a significant salary increase and would require relocating away from my family (who would stay in the home we bought in 2019 in our home state and my partner and I would rent in new state). The driver for the decline was both the position and money (With finishing my degree I will likely get Director in current company soon with a raise that would take me over the 160k offer). It is very exciting to think about moving and the new job, but I decided to decline. (Also of note- I did not mention any of this too current boss/company).
About a week later I received a counter from new company of VP/200k and they send the offer letter. I speak to the HR guy about the drug screening they do in order to inquire about their THC testing rules. I live in a recreationally legal state, new job is in a recreationally legal state, I live with 2 medical cannabis patients and sometimes partake. I am not concerned about passing with potentially low levels in my system. HR guy says THC is exclusionary for technical safety positions but discretionary by the company for management (no further clarification provided). We discussed a 7/3 or 7/10 start date to allow for me to give notice, find an apartment and move across the country but start date would depend on finalizing onboarding testing, background check etc.
That night (5/23) I sent the signed offer letter accepting the position.
And have not heard anything back from the company since. I sent a follow up email on 5/25 clarifying that I'd like to agree on a tentative start date.
I understand that this was over a holiday weekend, but at over 7 business days since sending signed letter, I am feeling ghosted. I've had some informal texts with the former employee who initially called me. The HR guy was out last week but now this week, back in the office as of Thursday 6/1. I called the HR guy Friday, received front desk who said HR guy was unavailable and that he'd get back to me. And has not.
So... that is my Schrodinger's Job Offer.
My partner and I are flying out Thursday this week to look at apartments... or have a little vacation if this has indeed fallen through...
Advice?
I do love my current job. But a VP opportunity at that salary is too good to pass up and say no. I feel like not taking the chance would be a failure. BUT in the event of worst case scenario and the new company is flaking.. I still have and love my job.
I am considering having a sit down with my Director to let her know off the situation and that I'm considering the offer. Is that a good idea?
Help please! Thank you!!
tldr: Exciting job offer received with drug test required. Formally discussed THC in drug tests with new Haccepted terms,, signed/accepted/returned offer letter and now have been ghosted without contact or receiving any onboarding info. Help please!

2023.06.04 17:00 Chicuty TCG exclusive archetypes in the next sets?

I really like TCG exclusive archetypes, most of them are based on things I find cool because of western culture. The last two June boxes introduced the strategy from one of those decks in Duel Links (Dream Mirror for 2021 and War Rock for 2022), so I'm hoping and coping they want to keep this pattern, but the list of Duel Links designed deck from this pool of archetypes is practically non existent.

Considering year of release, power level and whether or not the "archetype" is called Materiactor, these are the candidates in order from most likely to least likely:

  1. Time Thief: the deck can end on a single non target spin with a 1 card combo with the new support, so it's kind of easy to keep in check by not releasing the new cards. Sadly Redoer is a really good generic r4nk, and it is even better in Duel Links with the smaller deck size and the high amount of traps played.
  2. Beetrooper: a non linear combo deck; it has almost all of its enablers (Resonance Insect, Doom Dozer, Picofalena, Sting the Poison...), but the big wasp that (Quick Effect) specials from hand by returning to the bottom of the deck 1 card each from your and your opponent's graveyard might be a bit too good of a counter to anime skill decks, so Konami might decide not to add this, as well as the big 3k link4 Towers. That being said, having no 1 card combo means the deck can play few staples, and this already limits it a lot for Duel Links.
  3. Plunder Patroll: one of the few midrange decks in Yugioh, it can accumulate resources very fast if he's allowed to play, while also putting up enough of a threat to close games quickly. The deck has no access to Toad, no Al'Miraj so Blonde is not a 1 card Black, and with few handtraps in the game the deck is way weaker than it is in TCG. Love the theme and it's a WATER deck also :)
  4. Myutant: awesome control deck with an incredible theme that made me despise Stranger Things even more than I should have, especially the last season. The deck eats a lot of resources, but if destroyed they get them back (which might happen in Duel Links), also having 6 starters is standard for Duel Links. The big Main Deck Myutants are mostly fine I think, Ultimus is hard enough to summon to be ok, what scares me is the deck's playstyle: in TCG it's starter, do your combo end on Beast + Cry and then set all the floodgates you drew, here it might be the same but instead of floodgates it's just staple traps, but I don't know I'm not good at reading Duel Links power level.
  5. Danger!: extenders and draw power. In a format with 20 cards it's probably not fine. That said I would love the meta to shift at least partially from 1 card combo that ends on 1 interruption + set 3 to some sort of wombo combo that does something fancier and the Danger! would probably help with that.
  6. Spyral: either unplayable or super broken. The deck was originally intended to be a control with a unique gimmick but it failed under every aspect, so it became basically an FTK with the boards he could bring out. Aside from Firewall and the Knightmares (you also cannot co link both Phoenix and Cerberus to Firewall unless Monster Reborn I think?) there aren't the link monsters payoff, but Sleeper Agent equipped with Last Resort and a set Utility Wire is probably already good enough to keep the archetype out of the game.

The other archetypes I didn't mention (Ghoti, which could be added when Nash is released, and Libromancer, which I have never read, Gold Pride, that came out yesterday so probably not) are either too new to be added to the game, or I forgot about them

2023.06.04 16:56 theindianwallflower LOR advice needed, pls help :')

I currently have 4 letter writers:
1 physician I have worked with several times, we have a good relationship, likely a strong letter
1 physician I work with daily and we have a strong relationship, likely a strong letter
1 from my PI, worked in his lab for 3 years, average relationship but I was persistent to stay in his lab throughout and after COVID so likely a strong letter, heard he writes good ones
1 from my Virology Prof that I was a TA for, average to good letter
I am struggling A LOT to find an additional science professor and non-science, have already emailed everyone that I can think of that would maybe be able to write me one, but it has been several years since I have taken their course (2 years out of undergrad already), and I never got a chance to speak with any of them. I haven't heard back from anyone of these professors.
In your experience, how hard are the LOR requirements that MSAR has posted, and is there anyone that applied with similar LORs which worked in their favor? I know that it's school specific, but I have heard that some people apply with what they have, regardless of the requirements, and still got in/interviewed despite not having the posted number required. This is the main thing that is holding me back from applying this cycle, and I'm not sure if I should wait until next cycle or just apply with what I have.
TIA!!

2023.06.04 16:52 LongjumpingMood2163 been questioning my gender for years and I don't feel like doing anything to address how I feel is possible

Sorry if this winds up being wrong.I will also say I'm not using my main Reddit, but rather my NSFW one as its not unlikely that someone will find my personal Reddit.I've been questioning my gender (22 amab Canadian) since I was at least 15 that I know of, possibly younger, and while I'm been questioning it I haven't put much thought into it because I feel like I'll never be able to address how I feel and chance myself to better fit how I think I want to present myself. I'll list off my reasons.
  1. My Brother is actually trans. So my brother is 4 years older than me and while I don't know the exact timeline of his story, I can say he certainly knew for a long time and probably started working towards transitioning as soon as he got away from home at 18-19. I have been supporting him for a long time although when he first started to drop hints to me I was admittedly jealous and said some less than nice things ("I'd make a better girl than you would a boy" is one I remember) but I grew and support him as I should. but that's a bit besides the point, my point here is that if I started to experiment with my gender, the first thing out of everyone's mouth will be "Your brother convinced you to do that" or "your just copying your brother" or something along those lines, but with more deadnaming and misgendering.
  2. I know exactly how my family will react: This is bittersweet, from seeing how my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, all reacted to my brothers transition, I know its a negative reaction. Its awful that its a bad reaction, but its good I'm not the one at the end of the hate as selfish as that feels to say.
  3. my lifestyle isn't exactly friendly towards it: I'm an outdoors-man, hunting, fishing, farming, etc, being bisexual and into things already overrun by the furthest right leaning people I've ever met is already terrifying, toss on being trans and having a high likelihood of winding up in a town that's VERY anti LGBT+ (like my home town) is honestly something I'm horrified of.
  4. I will almost certainly lose most, if not all, of my friends: this one is pretty self explanatory, people in these small towns are already bigots, most of them being hunting and fishing friends, I think I can take a guess what side of the fence they are on if I was to transition.
This is what just immediately comes to mind, this is likely not an exhaustive list. But yeah, this stuff combined adds out to me feeling like I'll never be able to express myself in a way I think I'll be happy with whether that be trans, nonbinary, gender-fluid, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Episode 5-
Before this episode begins, I am so happy to say that this is the 100th episode of MDR! I guess I knew we'd reach it one day, but still can't believe it. It has truly felt like it's flown by, but the countless memories I have are a reminder of the past year and a half, and all 100 episodes. I am so appreciative of the support on this project, it has been so much fun to bring to life, and I can't thank everyone enough for letting us get to this milestone. Enjoy the episode <3
-------------------------
the queens return to the workroom after Sharris' elimination
🏁Kami CF: Coming back from the last elimination, I feel like we need at least two to three business days to decompress. It was wild!
Steph: Well...how y'all doin'?
the queens look around the room in silence
Whorechata: I just wanted to say something. Things got really out of hand earlier, and I know it was hard for all of us. But if there was any group to go through this with, I'm glad it was you all.
Wren: Aw, thank you. I feel the same wa-
Whorechata: I mean really, there's no group I'd want to go through being safe with. It was such an intense moment, but you all held me down.
Sue: ...
Anthyy: That's not where I thought you were going with that!
Whorechata: Oh and I guess the Sharris thing was unfortunate too, but the real tragedy was just so much worse.
🏁Whorechata CF: Whew, let me try and hold back these tears. I knew this competition would get intense, but I never knew the level it would get to. So when Micro called me safe, it was a wake up call about just how nasty things can get here. A disaster, truly.
Morgs: I don't want to excuse what Sharris said. It was definitely not a nice thing to say.
Wren: I swear there's a "but" coming.
Steph: Wren, this is a family show...
Morgs: But, I have to be real and say that I'm sad to see her gone. She was someone I was really close with, and I know that this meant so much.
Blondie: You can be sad that your friend isn't here anymore, but you really can't be sad that her toxic energy was removed from this environment.
Morgs: My relationship with Sharris wasn't toxic. I know she did some of you wrong. But that wasn't my experience.
🏁Morgs CF: I feel like I'm put between a rock and Jackie Cox's face right now. All of the other queens are allowed to react however they want to when it comes to one of their friends going home. But when I do it, it feels like I'm not really allowed to feel sad about it.
Anthyy: I never saw myself picking Sharris to go home, especially this early. But I can reveal that I chose her lipstick. And I do feel for Morgs, that's your sister. What it came down to was that I needed to make sure the competition was kept as drama free as possible.
Morgs: I understand, it's okay.
🏁Anthyy CF: Morgs and Sharris were two people I had an alliance with. Even before we came here, I knew we'd look out for each other. However, it comes down to what feels right on a human level, and Sharris took things too far with Wren. I had to take a stand, even if it meant sending home an ally.
Wren: Full tea, what Sharris said didn't really bother me. I've heard worse, and I'm sure I'll hear worse in the future.
Blondie: That's not fair to you, though.
Wren: It's okay! You all know that me loving myself isn't an issue, I'm not about to let that get to me.
🏁Wren CF: I mean, how did Sharris want me to react? Did she want this to be the part where you bring out the tiny violin and switch everything to black and white while I wistfully look through a window while a single tear falls down my well defined cheekbones? Girl bye.
Blondie: One thing's for sure, people proved who they really were. Some of you who rode for what Sharris was saying, I won't forget that.
Fleur rolls her eyes and laughs
🏁Blondie CF: My relationship with Fleur has gone down to a zero. Or scratch that, a negative two. We do run in similar circles, and I was expecting that to mean something in this competition. And it did for the first day or so. But when the pressure got turned up, Fleur showed her true colors. I need space from her right now, or else I'll pop off, and I'm not trying to be a fighter again. All that screaming messes up your vocal chords, and Fleur is not worth that!
Fleur: The vagueness is killing me.
Blondie: I'm not being vague, I'm just not giving you the attention you're craving.
Fleur: Blondie, be so real right now. Do you think I'm scared of you? Do you think there's any reason why I should be scared of you in this competition?
Blondie: Based on who won a challenge, maybe!
Fleur: Oh right, I forgot you won a challenge. Or did you even win it? It felt a lot like Zodya carrying you.
Blondie: The win is still sitting pretty. Something not everyone can say!
🏁Fleur CF: Blondie, I tried. I tried to defy the odds and actually get along with you here. But you've just proven to me that everyone here is truly awful. I'm not worried about anyone here being able to take me out. So why not give them hell and make them all miserable? That sounds even nicer than a crown. Yes, that'll do just fine. Get ready for it, you woke up the bitch. Well, the inner bitch. The outer bitch has been here the whole time. You know what I meant. And edit some nice villain music under all of that. It's showtime!
The Next Day
the queens dance into the workroom and over to the table
🏁Kami CF: It's a new day in the workroom, and I'm hoping the next challenge is something like baking cupcakes. That might be the only thing capable of bringing us back together. But for real, that would be so fun...
Zodya: Sue, I have to ask how you felt during the last lipsync.
Sue: I was fine. Really, I was so fine! And side note, but the sheets in the hotel are really great at absorbing tears. Or so I've been told.
🏁Sue CF: I really thought that last week could've been it for me. Everything felt so right, but it just wasn't enough. I'm desperate to prove myself as a strong competitor here, and someone that people should be afraid of. But without a win, it's hard to do that.
Whorechata: I was surprised at the top two, and that's only a moderate read.
Zodya: I'm scared for this answer, but who would you have taken out of the top?
Anthyy: And I know you might say me, but I don't really care. I know I turned it out, mama.
Whorechata: I would have replaced both of you! I think Sue should've been up there. And the other spot would have to go to a beautiful queen, full of talent, starts with a W...
Wren: Aw, me?
Whorechata: No, me.
Wren: Oh! Not sure why I'm even surprised by that at this point.
the workroom door swings open and Micro walks in, wearing a tailored white suit with a matching hat and cherry red lip
Micro: Hello queens!
Steph: Alright, pimp mama!
Micro: Last week, things got a little tense. And uh, that might be a bit of an understatement. Which is why for your next challenge, it would make sense to do something a little more lighthearted.
Kami: Yes please!
Micro: But you know how we do things around here. For your next challenge, you'll be killing each other.
Blondie: Oh dear god.
Micro: With your acting, of course! The ten of you will be randomly split into two teams of five. In this group, you will be in charge of producing a plot, trailer, and captivating poster for the next big horror movie. How you choose to work within your team, that's up to you. But if I were you, I'd be sure to contribute if you want to avoid the bottom. And on the runway, category is "Pretty Little Prosthetics". Good luck, and get ready to scream!
🏁Blondie CF: For our challenge this week, we're split into teams as we create a horror movie. On my team, we have Fleur, Kami, Whorechata, and Zodya. And on the other team, Anthyy, Morgs, Steph, Sue, and Wren. Less than thrilled to be on a team with Fleur, but it's a strong group, and I think our chances of winning are pretty solid!
the teams scatted through the workroom, with Blondie, Fleur, Kami, Whorechata, and Zodya talking by the couches
🏁Whorechata CF: It's starting to get to me that I haven't really been performing at the level I know I'm capable of here. I'm feeling a new sense of determination this week, and I have a whole list of ideas for this challenge. It's time to prove why I'm here.
Whorechata: So...I have ideas.
Fleur: There's a first for everything!
Whorechata: I'm thinking it could be cool to have the movie be shown from two different perspectives. The same story, but you see it differently depending on who it's focusing on. A sort of play on how the same situation can be perceived differently by different people.
Zodya: Wait, I love that?
Kami: That's a really great idea.
Whorechata: I know, that's why I said it! I mean...thanks!
🏁Kami CF: I do tend to feel stressed in group challenges. Especially with this big of a group. There are five of us. There might be more room to hide, but it's also so much harder to stand out. I want my voice to be heard, and I want to shine, but I'm not sure how.
Fleur: I'll volunteer to work on the poster.
Kami: Nice! Do you want help on that?
Fleur: Hmm, I think I can do it on my own.
🏁Fleur CF: First of all, I'd rather eat sand than work with anyone on my team. And, the poster is a huge part of this challenge. If I do it on my own, that means all the credit goes to me. Maybe a bad idea if the poster turns out ugly, but I'm not too worried about that. My only worry now is what to wear for the lipsync this week!
Zodya: Blondie, do you have an idea of what you're working on?
Blondie: I'll do whatever you need. Put me wherever and give me something to do.
Whorechata: Work with me on the script. I need someone to read through it and make sure it makes sense. One little issue, can you read?
Blondie: You bitch.
🏁Whorechata CF: I didn't plan on taking a leader position this week, but it kinda fell into place. We're getting some good work done, most of us at least. Kami, I know she wants to contribute, but I don't know what she's done yet? And that's starting to worry me. We might not be able to get this done in time...
the team of Anthyy, Morgs, Steph, Sue, and Wren talk around the table
Anthyy: Ladies, ready to win? I need this one!
Wren: Oh please, you do not need another win right now. I'm already getting the Greantee flashbacks as is!
🏁Wren CF: Being on a team with Anthyy is really scary. I like her, we get along. But if we do well, that means another win for her. At a certain point, we need to stop her.
Sue: I feel like I could work on the poster? I can do my best with that!
Wren: That's perfect. Do we want ours to be a parody of iconic movies, or should it be fully original?
Morgs: I would maybe bring those ideas together. It can be a new and fresh idea, but still referencing certain ideas that have worked before.
Wren: I like that, I like that.
Anthyy: I would feel most comfortable working on the poster.
Steph: I think Sue mentioned wanting to work on that.
Anthyy: I don't want to take it away from her of course.
Sue: No, it's okay! Whatever is best for the team.
Anthyy: Are you sure?
Sue: If that's what will make our team strong, that's what we should do.
Anthyy: Thank you Sue, such a queen! Morgs, do you want to get some work done on this?
Morgs: Anything for you, well of course!
the team works on their script before coming back together to go over their progress
Anthyy: I have the outfits for the poster almost done. But don't worry, they'll be done.
Wren: Not to be shady, but what were the two of you doing for all that time? You were gone for awhile, and didn't get anything done.
Morgs: She just said she was working on the outfits and that they're almost done.
Wren: The two of you talked a lot about what you were going to contribute, I'm not seeing much of anything. You need to do your part in the group.
Anthyy: We are. Don't diminish our work!
Wren: I don't see what work I'm diminishing...
🏁Wren CF: Maybe I need to appoint myself as the team leader, because we are not making enough progress. Anthyy and Morgs are like the two friends in school who work together on all the projects, but never get anything done because they're talking the whole time. We have serious work to do!
Morgs: I've been adding to the script, Anthyy's done the outfits, we've done more than enough.
Wren: That's not what I asked you two to do. Morgs, you were supposed to look over what I was doing, not add your own stuff.
Morgs: I get that, but I'm not going to sit back and do nothing.
Wren: Well it feels like you're either doing nothing, or just making things worse.
🏁Anthyy CF: Wren is making me and Morgs feel horrible during this challenge. We're doing the work, more than some other people in the team! But she ignores that since they're friends. It's making me question if I want to even be here, because she's making me feel so bad right now.
the teams continue to work, as Whorechata goes over to the other team
Whorechata: So like, what if we had more time?
Steph: We have to be on the runway soon, I don't think that's an option.
Whorechata: If we all ask for a few more hours, maybe Micro will give it to us.
🏁Whorechata CF: What we have so far is good. But time is our biggest issue. If we can get a little extra, I know we can pull it all together. And it helps the other team too, it makes sense.
Anthyy: I don't think we need the extra time.
Wren: We don't, I know we don't.
🏁Wren CF: Your poor time management is not my fault. We were given the time we were given. If you can't make that work, start packing your bags.
Whorechata: But would you be against it?
Anthyy: I'm not making a scene over extra time, but we don't need it.
Whorechata: So what I'm hearing is that I can ask for more time...
Morgs: I wouldn't be mad with more time.
Sue: I'm happy to make it work either way.
Whorechata: Perfect!
Whorechata leaves the workroom to ask a producer about extra time, before realizing there are no producers, only Micro. She drags Micro into the workroom while she's halfway done with getting ready for the runway
Micro: Chile, what now?
Whorechata: You know how much we love you, right? And how you really don't even need a corset, no matter what everyone says about your waist.
Micro: Excuse me?
Whorechata: What I'm saying is, we need a little more time for the challenge.
Micro: And everyone's good with that?
Whorechata: They'd love it!
Micro: I'm asking them...not you.
Whorechata: Sorry, I'm just speaking for the people. I'm motherly like that.
Micro: Does anyone strongly object to a few more hours for the challenge.
Anthyy and Wren hesitate before raising their hands, and bringing them back down when nobody else objects
Micro: Alright, you can have a few more hours. But you better use it and make this the best challenge yet.
Whorechata: Mwah, thank you!
🏁Wren CF: When Micro says that there's an extension, I start to see red. Our group does not need this extra time. We may not have everything done right now, but when we hit the runway, it would've been ready.
Micro leaves the workroom and the queens talk while getting ready by the mirrors
Wren: This is such bullshit, just so you all know.
Kami: What happened?
Wren: This whole extra time.
Kami: Were you guys done with your work?
Wren: ...that's not the point. We would've been done with it.
Anthyy: To me, it just feels like riggory. Micro wants the underdogs to win this week, so she's giving you more time.
Zodya: Underdogs?
Anthyy: I don't mean that in a shady way. I'm just saying that our team seemed stronger, and Micro wanted to make it less obvious. It's clear to me.
Wren: Exactly.
🏁Zodya CF: I don't know what Anthyy and Wren are trying to get at with this. I saw their work, it's nowhere near done. And in what world are we the underdogs? Anthyy sees everything by the numbers, but that isn't the only thing that matters in a challenge like this.
Anthyy: Look, it doesn't matter. Congrats on winning this week, woohoo!
Runway
the lights flicker and an electric magenta light floods the runway as Micro struts down the center
Micro Episode 5 Look
Micro: Welcome back to the runway of Micro's Drag Race: All Stars Two! This week, the queens were challenged with working in teams to come up with original horror film concepts. And joining me on the judging panel is a queen with killer creativity, Lisbon!
Lisbon Guest Judging Look
Micro: Lisbon, thank you for being here!
Lisbon: Anything for you...as long as you give me a crown one day.
Micro: Ha!
Lisbon: I'm not joking...oh at all.
Micro: Oh. I'll see what I can do about that! Do you have any terrifying moments from your time on MDR that might inspire you in a challenge like this?
Lisbon: Why yes, I have quite a few! Season One Episode Twelve, All Stars One Episode Twelve, XDRVTW Episode Six. I'd have to say those really stick out.
Micro: Any reason?
Lisbon: Nope, none at all! Lisbon pulls out her voodoo dolls of Unieke, Tiwa, and Crystal
Micro: Well, that is not at all troubling! You ready to get into things?
Lisbon: Please, before I turn these dolls into a pile of fluff.
Micro: Alright! First up on the runway, category is "Pretty Little Prosthetics"!
"Bad Juju" by Jujubee plays
Anthyy: Tonight on the runway the theme is prosthetics! And honey trust me this theme is just asking itself for it to be a creppy spooky lewk, but i already served that last week and on episode 1 an literally thorught the whle halloween special for miss Xtina so this time i wanted to make sure i am as girly as i can be with this prostehtics them! But also there is another layer to it i would never just go for a look and dont do nothing behing to it. Tonight on the runway i am channeling a broken porcelain ballerina doll. My whole dress is made out of glass and i am walking very carefully but stunning-ly by the runway. Her story is that her soul is trapped inside a ballerina's figure body and as you can see on the skin an thorughout her body she is slowly turning into that sad ballerina with the glass pieces cutting through her skin,, thats what the prostheticas are in my look! they modify her whole face, she is sad on the glass side, she is trapped and she is bleeding! but in pink! cause pretty girls have pink blood! Don't try and check it though! This runway also need to have a personal touch for me to feel good about it and tonight i wanted to honur my grandma, since she always wanted to become a ballerina but never made it! so granny tonight! you are the prettiest glass ballerina on the mainstage of the biggest compeitiotn!
Anthyy Look
Blondie: KERMI! I AM READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP MON AMOUR! Tonight I am representing the original camp/fashion icon Miss Piggy! I am wearing prosthetic ears, a nose, and a cute wiggly tail! I am also wearing more passing than usual to create that big girl magic energy, so not only am I appropriating fat people, but pigs as well! The dress is completely made by moi and completely bedazzled, I get actual pearls and diamond encrusted headband, and I styled the 40 inch weave myself! I am taking a huge risk going camp, but I rather go out looking like a pig, than actually being one (cough cough Alex cough cough) . And you don't like it, expect this karate chop! HI-YA!
Blondie Look
Fleur: People say I am two faced which I don't necessarily agree with because I say what I want when I want but I just wanted to pay homage to the losers of my past arguements who call me two faced by wearing a prosthetic head! Two heads is always better than one head, am I right
Fleur Look
Kami: For my prosthetics lewk I am getting down and dirty mawma! I just wanted to do something fun this week, so I have gone with this sort of pig prosthetic thingy. This is for my fellow vegan/vegetarian qweens! #ISTANDWITHVEGANTEACHER
Kami Look
Morgs: Silicon manufacturing with your own skin using inorganic compounds of negotiated slurp products for your bodacious perfect size scabs snack for youthful glow anti aging properties may turn vou slime new products for you soon including waters I discussed with Wren stay tune #microfracking
Morgs Look
Steph: for my prosthetic look tonight i wanted to gag everyone by showing that i can be green with envy and still be pretty. just look at my skin and my long nose and she’s bald! also that rat is just a little scrumptious snack for later YUMMY YUMMY!! what’s not to love. i love a long soft prosthetic nose, ears, and chinnnn. if ur chin ain’t long, you’re just wrong!
Steph Look
Sue: So for this runway I am serving you the end of the world but she I still a bad bitch because uwu.
Sue Look
Whorechata: On the runway tonight I am feeling very SAFE! I am a kraken craking backs mawma! She is giving a full squid head prosthetic this evening. I am ready to wreck holes and boats tonight!!!
Whorechata Look
Wren: Today on the runway I am giving you Ratrina Ratson, heir to the Ratson throne. She is DRIPPING in like a million fucking layers of jewels, necklaces, bracelets, and silver. When she moves it sounds like windchimes. I have been consistently getting the critique that I don't drag things up enough, and I hope thisll change that. This is what happens if the rats in Cinderella were sent to the ball instead of her, Cinderella has rats in it right? I'm literally just realizing while typing this that I have never seen Cinderella.
Wren Look
Zodya: For this runway, I am showing off a look inspired by the Dilophosaurus! I have used prosthetics to make myself look fully reptilian, including my large, colorful flaps of skin off my face and hands. And don’t forget to mention my talons, as well as the horns sprouting out throughout my body. Don’t mess with me, queens, or else I’ll tear you apart and eat you alive…in Minecraft!
Zodya Look
-------------------------
Micro: Thank you ladies. You all look gorgeous, or terrifyingly disturbing. But hey, these looks will definitely be hard to forget. Now, let's take a look at your horror movie scripts.

Critiques
Micro: Based on your performances tonight, Lisbon and I have formed some opinions. It's time for your critiques.
Micro: First up, Team 1 (Blondie, Fleur, Kami, Whorechata, Zodya)!
Lisbon: Well, hello ladies… and Fleur. This concept was really interesting! I like that you weren’t afraid to approach it more seriously and it felt very atmospheric. However, it fell a little flat for me I guess? The addition of the hallucinations felt odd and left me wondering if Desireé or whatever was like- magic? I think this felt like a solid horror short story but I feel like it lacked imagination and was pretty middle of the road content wise. As for your runways… Blondie, I really love this look as I am the Miss Piggy extraordinaire but I wish it was elevated a little more. It’s giving Ariana meets Miss Piggy which I love but it’s definitely a bit more pedestrian than I’d like for All Stars. Fleur this is one of my top looks of the night you look absolutely horrid, no note really other than the glitter bouquet feels a wee bit cheap. Kami, this is cunt. No notes. Lucky, you look good! It’s a great look, I just want more mug I suppose. Zodya this is fierce, I love a concept that is well executed! One note and this is mainly a personal preference, I wish the face was more cunt less monster, but obviously that’s nitpicking.
Micro: Hello pretty ladies!! I think within this group, you all have such clear strengths, and I was curious to see how that would work in a team format. And I have to say, I’m really impressed by what you came up with. Starting with the poster, I think it captures that eery feeling and the split down the poster played perfectly into the story of the movie. I think some more contrast on the poster could’ve made it pop even more, but I thought it was nicely done! In the plot, I think this was structured a little more as a scene or trailer, rather than it being an overall summary of what the film would be about and the journey it would take us on. It was well written, I just think it ended up being overshadowed by the trailer since the vibe was quite similar between the two. Speaking of the trailer, it was so gripping. I was reading as fast as I could to see what would happen next, and that level of suspense isn’t easy to achieve. My one little nitpick would be that I wish the split perspectives were showcased more, but really fantastic work. On the runway, solid looks from each of you! Kami, I love the campiness of this look, and how you and Blondie played into the pig elements of the movie. Very clever! Fleur, this is the blend of concept and glamour that you do so well, nicely done. Lucky and Zodya, these creature looks can be tough to hold onto the fashion, but you both managed to pull it off. The scaling is grand and extravagant, two of the strongest looks of the night. Overall, very impressed by your group!
Micro: Next, Team 2 (Anthyy, Morgs, Steph, Sue, Wren)!
Lisbon: You guys… acting challenges are hard and I get that but this thing? Was super fun!!! Oh my god!!! I think taking the camp and parody route is a risk that is well worth taking because this was really good! Troglodyte was a standout in my opinion, but everyone had their moments. This was such a fun watch and you mixed two horror franchises really well! Micro is a lot scarier though to be honest. My issue tonight with this team is the runways as opposed to the other team over there. Starting with Anthyy, I love the concept as a former dancer, I just know this execution could’ve been a little more en pointe. I’m hilarious. I just wish it was more clearly prosthetic. Morgs, this is a well executed cliché with a fun twist. I’ve seen and was expecting a booby girl but I like that you are pink, this runway isn’t winning any awards though. Steph… girl… these prosthetics are so good… but this dress is god awful. You are giving Party City girl, and that’s the point blank truth. Sue. Meh. It’s fine, just not mind blowing. WREN WHY ARE YOU A RAT? This look is train wreck central. Those are necklace and earring PNGs on that dress and I don’t even know what’s going on with your face. Rat? Why? But like, this group had a phenomenal challenge, but was challenged with looks.
Micro: This team is full of some creative creative ladies, so I was really excited to see y’all in a team together. And I just have to say, the execution of this was incredibly well done. The poster, I love the custom looks, the dark shadowy feel, the scary ass “person” in the back, and the little “probably not though” at the bottom. That was a really fun little comedic touch that gave the poster some depth. I have to be honest, I was a little worried when I saw that the concept was so similar to Drag Race, just with a darker twist. I think for a challenge like this, it could’ve been an opportunity to go balls to the wall. But within the concept, you found really nuanced ways of telling the story. The character building and storytelling was next level, and it made me so invested in what was happening. The audio as well, in the words of Wendy Williams, “it was scuh-ary”. I think the way you structured everything as well was something we could actually see with a plot and trailer, clean and concise. The twisted humor throughout the trailer added lots of special touches, I loved to see it. On the runway, some serves were served! Anthyy, this dark ballerina moment is so pure, but also has darker levels beneath the surface. Steph, I think the actual prosthetic work here is amazing. But the dress, I wish it was so much more!! Morgs and Sue, I love how you both took a more standard fashion silhouette, and infused that prosthetic twist throughout. Wren, rat queen! This week was truly a return to the originality and dedication you showcased on Season Six, and this runway proves that. It’s weird, it doesn’t make sense, it’s glamorous, it checks all the boxes. Nicely done. Overall, great work from this team!!
Micro: Thank you ladies. This week, you worked in teams. But your individual work is what matters here. When I call your name, please step forward.
Micro: Anthyy, Fleur, Morgs, Steph, Zodya. The five of you are safe. You may step to the back of the stage.
🏁Anthyy CF: Disappointed to only be safe, but this week was really awful for me, and I'm just glad I was able to make it through.
Micro: Blondie Dahl. On the runway, you were a blushing bacon bride.
Micro: Whorechata Grande. In the challenge, you had us all questioning reality.
Micro: Wren Wyvern. This week, you scurried your way to the top.
Micro: Whorechata, Wren. Congratulations, you are the top two queens of the week!
🏁Whorechata CF: And that's how you do it.
🏁Wren CF: Yes!! Fuck yes!! Finally I get my moment, this is what I've been waiting for!
Micro: Blondie, you are safe.
Blondie: Better than getting the pork chop!
Micro: Sadly, that means Kami and Sue, you are the bottom queens of the week.
🏁Kami CF: This is a horrible feeling. I know how badly I want this, and the thought of my dream being cut short, it's heartbreaking.
🏁Sue CF: I'm devastated right now. I wanted this to be the week where I got to the top, not fall to the bottom. I don't want to be the reason Kami goes home, but I need to fight for my spot.
Micro: Whorechata, Wren. In a moment, you will lipsync for your legacy and for the right to eliminate one of the bottom queens. Head backstage to Untucked and deliberate.
Untucked
the queens enter Untucked
🏁Zodya CF: The bottom two this week is crushing to see. You don't want it to be you, but it stings seeing such amazing people in the bottom. For once, I am glad to not be in the top.
Kami: First and foremost, congratulations! Not the ideal situation, but the two of you crushed it, and we need to celebrate that.
Wren: Aw, thank you. I don't want to be obnoxious with how I'm feeling, but this just feels amazing. Like, ahhhhh!!
Whorechata: I told myself that I would be able to win this challenge if I set my mind to it. And look at me now! It makes me feel great.
Steph: I'm obviously really happy for the two of you, but devastated at who's in the bottom. I really didn't expect this.
Sue: I thought I gave it my all this week. But when you hear the critiques, it's hard not to feel like you could've done more. I guess that's what I'm feeling right now.
Steph: Aw, Sue. I thought you were great.
Sue: Thanks. This just, it means more to me than I thought it did? And to go from feeling like I was picking up steam to totally crashing, it's not a slay moment.
Steph: Very not slay.
Blondie: Whatever happens, you two have brought so much to this. It means a lot that I can call you my sisters.
Morgs: Did anyone have issues working with their team?
Zodya: I think we all got along!
Kami: There was a clear end goal of what we wanted to get done. It would've been nice to feel like we all had the chance to do our fair share, but it was a good experience overall.
Whorechata: I know you wanted to do more. But it's up to you to step in and make sure you're involved. You'll get left behind if you wait for us to bring you in.
Kami: Yeah, I get it. It's just a lot of emotions, sorry.
Whorechata: Hey, you're good.
Anthyy: I thought we worked really well. We all brought our own unique twist, and it came out great in my eyes.
Morgs giggles
🏁Anthyy CF: The other team does not need to know how bad things were for us. If they know, then they'll think I'm not good at working in a team. They need to think that everything went perfectly!
Kami: I would love the opportunity to speak with the top queens if that's alright. Just plead my case a bit.
Sue: That would be nice for me as well.
🏁Sue CF: I want to prove to the top queens this week that I deserve to be here. I regret letting Anthyy take over for the poster. But a lot of the love that the characters got, I helped with that. This isn't my time to go, I know it isn't.
Whorechata: Alright, let's chat!
Kami talks with Whorechata and mentions their connection to Season Five, and how she wants to represent for that. She shares that during Season Five, she felt like she was overshadowed by Moof, and unable to really stand on her own as a strong competitor. Being in the bottom made her realize how badly she wants this, and moving forward, she's dedicated to giving everything she has to this competition
Sue talks with Wren and Wren says that she thought Sue would've been in the top this week. Wren tells Sue that her heart is being pulled in two different directions. While she's gotten close with Kami, she can't overlook her long friendship with Sue. Sue tells Wren that she stands by what she did in the challenge, and wishes she took more responsibility for her contributions
while the top and bottom queens deliberate, Anthyy and Morgs chat by the touch up mirrors
Anthyy: Honestly, I'm over it.
Morgs: Oh no, over what?
Anthyy: I feel like I need to leave maybe. The way Wren made me feel during the challenge, and saying we weren't doing enough.
🏁Anthyy CF: When we were working on the challenge, Wren said multiple times that she didn't think Morgs and I were doing enough. And to me, that felt like a really shady way of ganging up on us to make sure none of the praise for the challenge got shown to us. I felt myself getting closer with Wren, but her questioning my work ethic, it really broke me.
Morgs: You can't leave. You're doing too well.
Anthyy: I didn't come here to deal with all this stress. I came here to win, and the pressure is eating away at me. And now for someone to be coming after me, I can't do it anymore.
🏁Morgs CF: Losing Anthyy isn't an option right now. She's the closest person I have here, and I know that she would regret leaving. That's my girl, I need to make sure she's alright.
Morgs: I will cry if you go home, and you don't want to make me cry.
Anthyy: No, I don't want that! I know I need to fight through this, but it's really hard. I'm not sure what I'll do.
the queens return to the runway
Micro: Welcome back queens! Will the top two queens of the week please step forward.
Whorechata Lipsync Look
Wren Lipsync Look
Micro: Prior to tonight, you were asked to prepare a lipsync performance of "Die Young" by Kesha.
https://youtu.be/NOubzHCUt48
Micro: This is your chance to impress me, and earn the right to give one of the bottom queens...the chop.
🏁Whorechata CF: Little do they know, I put pockets all up in here. Give me all the lipsticks, send 'em all home!
🏁Wren CF: Oh bitch, I'm ready for this! I need to give these girls a few lessons.
Micro: Good luck, and don't fuck it up!
Read the lipsync here!
Micro: Well, that was something! I've made my decision.
...
...
Micro: Wren Wyvern. You're a winner, baby!
🏁Wren CF: I did it!! If you asked me how I felt a few hours ago, I would've said that I was questioning my place here. But this little taste of victory, it snapped me right back into place.
Micro: Whorechata. You are safe to slay another day. You may step to the back of the stage.
Whorechata: Safe, of course. Smile through the pain, smile through the pain.
Micro: You may step to the back of the stage.
Whorechata: I mean, I could. But what if I stood here? Would I be a winner.
Micro: ...no. No, you would not.
Whorechata: Shh, no more words.
Micro: Now, will the bottom queens please step forward.
Kami and Sue step to the front of the stage with shaky hands
Micro: I won't lie, this sucks. Both of you are such special queens in this competition. Wren. With great power comes great responsibility.
Wren: Ugh, this is the worst part.
Micro: Which queen have you chosen...to get the chop?
Wren: Ultimately I believe with one of you I would not be in the top and you were such a joy to have on our team and you did a lot of the conceptualizing. I am not about to have my Bebe Zahara Benet moment so the person I have chosen is…
...
...
Wren: Kami.
Wren's Lipstick Choice
Kami smiles and wipes away a tear as Micro and the other queens get emotional
Wren: I'm so sorry.
Kami: It's all good, I promise!
🏁Kami CF: I wanted this. I wanted this so bad. But I'm leaving this competition as a better queen than I was when I walked in. Seeing people believe in me gave me permission to believe in myself. My time will come.
Micro: Kami. You are one of the kindest, genuine, and most talented queens to ever grace this stage.
Kami: I appreciate that more than I can say. It might not have ended the way I wanted, but I'm forever grateful for this experience.
Micro: Sadly, I must ask you to sashay away.
Kami walks to the back of the stage as Anthyy leads a crowd of queens up on stage to embrace Kami before she leaves
Kami: Love you all. Until we meet again!
Micro: Whew. Congratulations to the nine of you for making it through another week. I know I get all "whaaaa" and a little "oh my damn" at these eliminations, but this one hit different. And they're only getting harder each week. Keep up the great work, and let the music play!
"Banjo" by Bebe Zahara Benet plays
Next Time on Micro's Drag Race: All Stars
Micro: Get ready for the buffoonery, riggory, and tomfoolery of "Robbed: The Musical!".
Anthyy: I don't know if I can do this anymore. It's all too much.
🏁Wren CF: The competition is being flipped on its head. Things can change so quickly.

2023.06.04 16:51 jansskon What are some things i can do to process and work through my problems?

Long story short, I’ve done LOTS of reading, talking to people, reflecting, journaling, meditating, the works. I’ve made some progress doing these things. Yesterday I made 2 huge breakthroughs that I feel confident are close to the root of my problems (if not the actual roots of my problems themselves). I don’t have the money or time for therapy unfortunately, so in place of that, what are some actual things I can do to begin working through these to tide me over until I’m in a place where I can actually afford therapy?
Journaling and meditating are good but I find that for me they only work so well and I’d like to try some more direct approaches to working with my problems. I’m imagining some activities like asking myself a specific set of questions to get to the root of the problem or even a more hands on activity.
I am happy to explain more in detail about what I’m struggling with if it’s necessary, i just don’t want to post about it straight away if there’s a chance that someone has a suggestion that may work even if it’s a general one.
Thank you in advance!

2023.06.04 16:51 laysthedischargepipe Advice request: Schrodinger's Job Offer

Hello everyone. I'm here to ask for some advice.
Background: I've been with my company (large 1500ish employee non profit in a niche medical industry. US based) for 18 years.
In Match 2022 I went back to school to finish my Bachelor's degree (I got my Associates 20 years ago) as my organization has repeatedly stated that without the Degree I wouldn't climb any further. I received a promotion in February 2023 (salary from 135k to 155k) to Associate Director of a team of people doing much of the same work I'd been doing as a manager (but for the whole company now instead of just one area off the company).
New job is fine and the work I want to do. My team is great. The VP of the department is newish (hired Jun 2022) with the organization (company tends to keep some very long term employees so a year is not very long tenure). VP is making some changes and waves as expected. After the first few months, things are progressing okay and the new Assoc. Director position is going well. I was planning on evaluating new career options once I finished my degree since all comparable positions require the degree plus the experience I already have. Of note. As of 5/31 I've officially graduated with my BS in Business.
Situation: I received a call (in early April) from a former employee of mine who over 5 years ago moved across the country for a new job). He said his organization (he is currently a director in the same niche industry as my background) was looking for upper management (VP/Director level) in the functional area where I was recently promoted. He asked if he could give my name to the CEO. I said yes.
CEO called that day. We had a great conversation where he asked me to send my resume for review and that he'd be in contact. Received a call a few days later from CFO to schedule the interview. I fly across the country the second week of May.
Interview went well. New company is privatlely owned and for profit. Company has great 3 year growth and more growth projected. It is a smaller organization now with aggressive hiring plans to support the growth projections. We discuss the company and the VP/Director opportunity. I am interested. I am forthright about my existing salary (155k) and explain that to move across the country they offer would need to be higher than my existing. Benefits package is comparable.
I receive an offer for a Director position at (160k +20k relo bonus) which I seriously considered and ultimately politely declined. New offer was not a significant salary increase and would require relocating away from my family (who would stay in the home we bought in 2019 in our home state and my partner and I would rent in new state). The driver for the decline was both the position and money (With finishing my degree I will likely get Director in current company soon with a raise that would take me over the 160k offer). It is very exciting to think about moving and the new job, but I decided to decline. (Also of note- I did not mention any of this too current boss/company).
About a week later I received a counter from new company of VP/200k and they send the offer letter. I speak to the HR guy about the drug screening they do in order to inquire about their THC testing rules. I live in a recreationally legal state, new job is in a recreationally legal state, I live with 2 medical cannabis patients and sometimes partake. I am not concerned about passing with potentially low levels in my system. HR guy says THC is exclusionary for technical safety positions but discretionary by the company for management (no further clarification provided). We discussed a 7/3 or 7/10 start date to allow for me to give notice, find an apartment and move across the country but start date would depend on finalizing onboarding testing, background check etc.
That night (5/23) I sent the signed offer letter accepting the position.
And have not heard anything back from the company since. I sent a follow up email on 5/25 clarifying that I'd like to agree on a tentative start date.
I understand that this was over a holiday weekend, but at over 7 business days since sending signed letter, I am feeling ghosted. I've had some informal texts with the former employee who initially called me. The HR guy was out last week but now this week, back in the office as of Thursday 6/1. I called the HR guy Friday, received front desk who said HR guy was unavailable and that he'd get back to me. And has not.
So... that is my Schrodinger's Job Offer.
My partner and I are flying out Thursday this week to look at apartments... or have a little vacation if this has indeed fallen through...
Advice?
I do love my current job. But a VP opportunity at that salary is too good to pass up and say no. I feel like not taking the chance would be a failure. BUT in the event of worst case scenario and the new company is flaking.. I still have and love my job.
I am considering having a sit down with my Director to let her know off the situation and that I'm considering the offer. Is that a good idea?
Help please! Thank you!!
tldr: Exciting job offer received with drug test required. Formally discussed THC in drug tests with new Haccepted terms,, signed/accepted/returned offer letter and now have been ghosted without contact or receiving any onboarding info. Help please!

What You Get:

MODULE 1

YOUR PROFITABLE PRODUCT IDEA

Designing a Blockbuster Hit Starts Here
The best products start with the best and most profitable ideas — which don’t happen by chance nor by waiting for lightning to strike.
It takes a proven process to zero in on the idea with the potential to fly off the shelves.
In this module, you’ll discover my Profitable Product Idea. You will:
  • Choose the best product and audience for you to profit from right now
  • Make sure your Idea passes all 7 Criteria of the Profitable Niche Checklist
  • Express your Idea in one simple phrase that attracts your target market in droves
  • Pre-validate there’s demand for your Idea in a way that automatically lines up your future customers
  • Create your Profitable Product Idea Blueprint so you have everything in one place
This process was developed over 7 years and 7,000 students, and can shave months or even years off your journey from idea to profit.
Whether you don’t have any ideas, or you have too many ideas, or you’re not sure whether your idea will work, your Blockbuster Hit Product starts here.
MODULE 2

YOUR IDEA TO MARKET BLUEPRINT

Turning Your Idea Into an Irresistible Offer
In this module, you’ll take your profitable idea and transform it into the kind of thing folks will line up to buy.
We call it your “Offer”, and it’s the scaffolding around your idea that makes it real. Elements such as:
  • Your blockbuster course name, your price point, your guarantee, bonuses and the reasons to buy now
  • The points of credibility that create massive buyer trust — even if you’re just getting started
  • Your uniquely valuable “process” — how you go about getting your students results (a huge selling point)
  • The social proof to start attracting paying customers immediately, even if this is the first time you’re doing this
The right offer can triple or even quadruple your sales, while the wrong offer will turn a great Idea into a ghost town.
By the end of this module, you’ll have the deep confidence that comes from knowing that everything you’re creating is exactly what your audience wants to buy.
Now you’ll be ready for Module 3, where we’ll start building!
MODULE 3

YOUR MVP LAUNCH

Creating Your Minimal Viable Product & Getting to Market Fast
By the end of this module, you’ll create just enough of your new program or course to be able to start making real, actual sales to real actual customers.
So many programs stop short of this critical step, and leave you stranded, wondering how to bridge the gap between theory and practice. That’s a huge mistake, because it’s critical to test the real world response to your offer before you create your whole course or product, while you still have time to make easy changes and pivots.
Some folks hit it out of the park on the first try, while others need to refine and adjust for a few cycles before they land on just the right thing. Either way, this process ensures you never waste months and thousands of dollars creating the wrong thing.
In this Module you’ll:
  • Use the “paint-by-numbers” MVP process to choose the exact pieces of your product and how they fit together
  • Finalize your Launch “Blueprint”, including the exact concrete steps to get to market FAST and start making sales straight away
  • Choose and deploy one of the 3 simple marketing & promotion campaigns to locate and find the people most likely to want to buy from you
  • Copy/paste from our pre-written campaign messaging templates to immediately have people wanting to know more (versus tuning out or scrolling past)
  • Follow the word-for-word sales scripts to confidently sell your MVP and start taking money even before the end of the module!
MODULE 4

SUPERCHARGE YOUR MARKETING

Reach Even More People & Make Even More Sales
Now that you’ve proven your offer by making some sales, our optional Module 4 is where you can take your marketing even further by stacking 2-3 campaigns together to create a supercharged, multiplier effect.
Whether you stack simple campaigns, requiring little-to-no technology, or more robust campaigns — this is how you realize Goal X. A whole lot more. Whatever that looks like to you.
In this Module, get ready to turn a handful of sales into an avalanche:
  • Get our EIGHT pre-written ready-to-go “Experience Marketing” Campaigns that you can just plug right in
  • Recieve my entire vault of pre-written scripts, emails, web page templates, sales & video scripts that you can take and customize or just use “as is” — they’re yours and they’ve generated literally millions of dollars for my other students
  • Create a Custom Campaign Stack that suits your dominant marketing style — whether you prefer to sell through 1:1 conversations, speaking to groups, or writing — so marketable feels easier than it ever has before
  • Recieve my entire vault of pre-written scripts, emails and web page templates that you can take and customize or just use “as is” — they’re yours and they’ve generated literally millions of dollars for my other students
  • Stand out with your marketing in a powerful, unique, fresh and engaging way that gets the attention of your ideal customers, which is 99% of the battle in today’s noisy marketplace, so you can make some real money
After that, we start to really dial up the “WOW” for your students…
MODULE 5

EXPERIENCE ESCALATION

Supercharge Your Results
Now that you’ve proven your product with real sales and you have a plan for reaching even more people and making even more money, this is where we pour fuel on the fire by “experiencifying” your course.
“Experiencification” is the process of stacking the 10 Core Experiences of The Experience Formula™ into every element of your Experience Product, to increase the effectiveness of your product by 10-30 times.
In this Module you’ll:
  • “Experiencify” your program with the 10 Core Experiences of The Experience Formula™ to create an engaging experience that works with (rather than against) the brain to get your customers “hooked” on taking action and getting results
  • Watch as your students spontaneously put down distractions and excuses and become “achievement machines”, focused on taking action, getting results and bringing more customers your way
  • Embed a powerful process for gathering success stories right into your course, so you can quickly have dozens if not hundreds of glowing testimonials (this is how I ended up with 1480 testimonials and counting for EPM!)
