Hello! I have been in HR for about 4 years. I originally got my undergrad in Political Science and quickly decided I didn't like that and knew I needed a job. I ended up in an HR department of 2 that was extremely disorganized, and the HR Director wanted to focus only on the law firm's operations. I was hired as an HR Assistant/Office Manager. This position opened my eyes to HR, and I decided to pursue an HR Master's degree. I recently completed this in December 2025.

While working on my master's, the law firm was extremely toxic, so I left for an HR Coordinator role where I mainly focused on onboarding. The drive was extremely far, and I felt I wanted more responsibility. I was there for about a year and a half. I then put my resume out for an HR Generalist role. I am currently here and have also been here for about a year and a half. Our organization recently underwent a reorganization and a 50% HR downsizing. Our organization employs upward of 8k employees. Recently, they also cut our 401(k) match in half and eliminated some of our benefits.

Since then, I have been keeping an eye out for openings across my city just to throw my resume out there. I am generally very happy with my team and my role. But I did not get a raise for my master's or certification. I am currently interviewing for a specialist role with an increase of about $20k. I am very interested in this position because it aligns with where I want to grow my career in HR. The company also offers greater upward growth and more opportunities.

My question is this: we all know company loyalty is few and far between these days, and the best way to increase salary is by getting a better offer. I am concerned that I have jumped from HR Assistant (2 years) to HR Coordinator (1.5 years) to HR Generalist (1.5 years). I planned to stay at my current company for the long haul, but there are concerns about its long-term stability. HR professionals who have been in the career longer, how do you feel about this? Should I be concerned about staying with a company long-term? Please be kind while giving advice and I would love to hear from you!

I recently moved up to 12.5 and my current vial had 34 units in it. On BPI I had always gotten a little bit more overfill in my vials so was expecting to get at least my full 63 unit dose. I tried and tried to get the 34 units out and I couldn’t pull anything. I have never had this issue before so I’m not sure what I did wrong? I turned the vial upside down, injected air and pulled the plunger. Nothing. Curious if anyone has had this issue? I’m not too worried and just went on to my next vial but it was about half a dose!

Hello all! I am going to switch to split dosing starting next Wednesday. I’d like to still track in GLAPP, but I can’t figure out how to switch the injection interval to specific days. I’d like to do Wednesday and Sunday. Will it still allow me to use my supply tracker as normal since my actual dose isn’t increasing but I’ll split 10 mg on 2 days?

Hello!! I have been faithfully taking my shots once a week for 38 weeks, moving up through the standard titration schedule every 2-3 months. Currently I am about to take my 12th shot of 10mg on Wednesday.

I’m interested in the option of split dosing to see if it helps decrease some slight diarrhea I’ve seen an uptick in and helps jump start the weight loss again. Food noise is still fine and my hunger is still decreased.

What are the cons? Is the downside that you have to do 2 shots? Has anyone seen an increase in food noise or side effects doing it this way? Last week I had to do 2 injections as I was transitioning vials and it always hits me like a ton of bricks fatigue wise. I wonder if split dosing could increase this.

If anything I plan to take my 10mg shot this week and not introduce any new routines as I am on my week of the month but super interested for next time! I’d potentially probably pick Wednesday and Saturday’s for my shot days. (Thanks fat scientist!!)

I have been patiently waiting for my 6 month BPI subscription and bought a cutie storage container and was so excited to unbox everything after the wait. I moved between my last and current refill and forgot to change the address on the portal 😭

thankfully it is being delivered to my parents address and I can pick up tomorrow but alas I have to wait one more day for my beautiful small vials.

It is shot day so at least there is that and I am even more excited to unbox my adorable vials and add them to my stash.
