Here's another monkey wrench thrown into my workplace.
Told my manager last week I applied for a different role in the company.
He told me today that he talked to HR and per their policy I "cannot" move roles since I've only been in my current role for a year - was promoted in March, but I've been at the company for a little over 2 years. I'm gonna have to see if I can get someone in HR to pull strings, because at this point in time there's definitely some tension as he knows I want to dip. Onus is on me to get a position outside ASAP.

Once i hear some crab shyt like that its time to get outta there
You're very right. Honestly, the more I think about it the more I've come to realize I was at fault in the whole situation. I tried to go after a nice to have, rather than a need to have i.e. I tried to leave the department (nice to have) when the real goal was to leave the firm (need to have).
My whole agenda, especially after I got promoted in March was to leave my current company to a more globally recognized firm, even though I REALLY disliked my department. I've had recruiters reach out to me for roles paying more at mid-size/niche companies. I turned those down because I know the move after my next move (Nigeria) and there's a certain corporate background/profile you want to come with (highly skilled with experience at big name firms - think IBM, Deloitte, HP, Amex, Microsoft, Bank of America, Pepsi etc). Additionally, some of these bigger companies have operations in Nigeria which would allow me kill two birds with one stone in that I can transfer to the Nigerian office, gain some insight and build connections in the corporate/business space in Nigeria while still working on personal endeavors.
To accomplish that, I was willing to spend a little more time at my company to ensure my next move was the right move and would fulfill the parameters needed for my pivot to Nigeria rather than leave because I was getting tired/frustrated of my department.
Hell, some Coli dudes even forwarded my resume internally at their companies
It was my family friend who recommended I apply for the role. She said the role would be good as a boost on my resume when looking to leave externally. I could sit in the role until the end of summer and just dip on some "it wasn't what I expected". In hindsight it wasn't bad advice, but it really wasn't what I needed to focus on. Yes, I'd get to leave my department and the dour environment, but I would only be changing seats on the bus, when in fact I need to get on a different bus altogether.
Anyway, got a few interviews this week so I'm prepping for those. Summer is always a tough time for recruiting but I really gotta be up and out of here now that my cards are on the table.
Man Nationwide is about to get bushed. They delete my payment info then tell me my shyts gonna be late 30 days after the fact 
. I get one policy updated but their janky ass website wouldn't update the other policy, so I'm gonna get hit with that bullshyt again 
. And they don't let you make no payments on your own unless you're late.

Have any of you ever been through an acquisition?
How much she charge? And was it worth it?
I paid $725 and that’s expensive in comparison to other services, but she’s been in business a while and I also used her before, and was happy with the work, so I didn’t mind.
I just got my final package today which includes my resume, a cover letter template and something I forgot. The resume is a lot cleaner and highlights the skills I want to portray and she also used some colors and an image. I really like it. I haven’t applied for anything to see how useful it is yet though
When you used her before did you notice it made a real difference when job searching?
What field are you in?
I’m in the Data analytics/Business Intelligence field. I definitely noticed a difference. My resume was way more authentic, and I could easily speak to experience in interviews because I had actually did the work. before I would steal from job descriptions or similar resumes in my field and juelz my way through the interview. She talks you through each role and your duties and makes it more professional sounding, for lack of a better term. Like when you turn a janitor into a sanitation engineer
They're trying me at work man
Trying to heap extra bullshyt on me because they don't know how shyt works.

Maaaaan so much fukkery on my team.
My manager, "Tim", just found out another member on my team is looking to leave. My team member, John, supports Team One. Team One's director, "Carl", doesn't get along with Tim at all. Anyway, John told Tim "look, most of my work is going to Carl so I'd rather just report to him directly". Tim was like "nah, ain't gonna happen". So John escalated to Tim's boss. Tim's boss, Michelle, then went to discuss with Carl's boss, Mark. Mark and Michelle both agreed to it and all John has to do is accept the role and it's a wrap.
Carl one-upped Tim, again. Tim is about to lose a team-member. He already know's I applied to another role in the org so yesterday he called me into his office to ask if I'm still on board with the team and was wondering why I wanted to move to a different department. I told him I think Finance would give me a different lens on the business and would allow me collaborate with more people in the org. I've already gotten enough Corporate Sales Strategy and Ops work. He said that my current work is very similar to what I'd do in Finance, but it still wasn't all of it, to me at least.
He said he understood, but was sorry about HR's policy (first he lied, it's not 1 year, it's 6 months and even then, those are more so guidelines that hard rules). Little does he know I reached out to the hiring manager and HR has already scheduled an initial meeting with me for next week. Also got an external interview lined up next week as well.
Tim could possibly lose 2 team members in the span of some weeks while being a company wide hiring freeze for external candidates.
This shyt is braazzzy
