  • The so called ‘leaders’ are out of touch. Many in oncology are DEI hires with no oncology experience. It’s such a mess.

  • Are you a visionary thought leader with 20 years of experience, fresh out of college, ready to climb the corporate ladder sideways while simultaneously inventing a cure for everything and nothing? If so, we want you!*

    Responsibilities:

    • Revolutionize the global strategy of something we haven't figured out yet.
    • Perform miracles in Excel with no access to Excel.
    • Lead, manage, and be managed.
    • Sit in meetings where nothing happens and still be expected to generate 14 action items.
    • Translate vague executive ideas into six global initiatives by Tuesday.
    • Know what "KPIs," "OKRs," and "QBRs" mean without asking.

    Requirements:

    • Must be under 25 with at least 30 years of experience in regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, manufacturing, training, logistics, molecular biology, and interpretive dance.
    • PhD, PharmD, MD, MBA, CPR certification, and ability to speak Latin preferred but not required unless you don’t have them.
    • Must have previously worked in 3 different roles: one as an astronaut, one in pharma sales, and one as a medieval alchemist.
    • Too young? You’re not seasoned enough. Too old? We need someone “more moldable.” Right in the middle? We already hired a consultant to replace you.
    • Must know every version of Veeva, SAP, and Excel...even the ones that haven’t come out yet.
    • Should be willing to relocate to Mars if the company pivots that way.

    Perks:

    • Casual Fridays (terms and conditions apply; jeans must be pressed, ironed, and emotionally stable).
    • Free coffee, as long as you bring it from home.
    • A title no one understands but looks amazing on LinkedIn.
    Apply now! Or don’t. Either way, we’ll find you on LinkedIn and ghost you after three interviews.

    This has been my journey since being laid off. Thought I would at least be humorous about it, although it is far from funny, but very truthful. (I posted this once - but it did not look like it posted so take 2)

  • Get ready to set your faces to stunned in mid July.
    Life lesson- no one takes anyone serious who says “set your faces to stunned”.

  • You know the ones. The people who post "Just landed at JFK and had an epiphany about leadership while watching a bird struggle against the wind. Be the bird."
    Sir. This is LinkedIn. Not your overpriced mindfulness retreat.

    Somewhere along the way, professional networking on LinkedIn became a competitive sport in performative vulnerability and pseudo-inspirational nonsense. Gone are the days of “Excited to share I got a new role!”—now it’s:

    “Today, I spilled my cold brew on my MacBook, cried in the parking lot, then remembered: THIS is what resilience looks like. #CEOenergy #MondayMotivation”
    Ma’am. You work in Accounts Payable. And that “resilience” was a $2,000 AppleCare bill.

    Let’s talk Instagram habits that have infiltrated LinkedIn like a motivational virus:

    • The humblebrag disguised as trauma: “When I was laid off, I realized the layoff was actually a level-up.”
    • ♂️ The spiritual CEO archetype: “Leadership isn’t about KPIs, it’s about inner peace.”
    • The gym selfie with a caption about “discipline” as if squats are transferable skills for QBRs.
    • The “my toddler taught me more about project management than my MBA ever did” post. (No, your toddler didn’t. They threw applesauce at your laptop.)
    We get it. You want to go viral. But maybe, just maybe, LinkedIn isn’t the place to announce your deep healing journey via a story about a broken stapler.

    Here’s a radical idea: How about we bring actual value back to the feed? Like sharing:

    • A useful template.
    • A real lesson you learned from a job, not a nap.
    • A win that doesn’t require a novel-length backstory involving airport delays and inner strength.
    Let’s leave the filters, soft lighting, and “just me being raw and real” nonsense where it belongs—in your Insta stories. LinkedIn is still (supposed to be) the place where professional brains connect. Not your personal branding petting zoo.
