As the title states.

I work as a Director of Recruiting for a health tech company and our CEO is going full bore with AI across the board.

We've leveraged AI in our own team to help alleviate some of the administrative burden of our recruiters (Metaview, leveraging existing AI tooling within our ATS, etc) But now, he's wanting to leverage agentic AI across all teams and departments.

Curious as to what others have done/seen. Do you think it works? What have been some of the wins and challenges faced in implementation?

FWIW We did pilot an AI candidate assessment tool earlier this year but it was awful lol

Current ATS is Ashby

My husband and I have been together a better part of a decade.

I’m 9wks postpartum with our second child and my PPD is just…destroying me. Or at least that what it feels like this time around.

I had a meltdown in the morning trying to out our baby down for a nap. To the point where I was having a panic attack. Husband steps in and puts baby down.

After, he holds me while I sob about what a terrible mother I am and how terrible I feel.

He tells me:

“My love isn’t fragile. We’ll make it through this season and the next so long as we have each other. I have you now.”

I’m still treading water but man, am I so grateful for him.

I have a 2.5 year old and a 9 week old.

Toddler is in daycare. I go back to work in a couple weeks. Husband works a rotating schedule and on days he works he’s not home until 8PM.

Today was his first day back at work so I had baby all day and did toddler pickup from daycare.

Our house is two stories. We have a sleep area for baby upstairs and one downstairs.

The issue is that baby needs a lot of support to fall asleep (rocking/bouncing) so it takes me 10-15 mins to put him down for a nap most of the time and so what am I supposed to do with our toddler??

Like I’m legit at a loss because I was trying to soothe him, I had actives and snacks for toddler, but obviously she’s asking me for stuff and I have to keep telling her “I can’t right now, but I can later” and the baby just won’t friggin sleep.

Please help, what am I supposed to do? What do you guys do? I feel like I’m not cut out for this and by the end of it I was so frustrated and was crashing out so hard that my husband had to leave work early to step in which sucks and I feel like such a failure.

Hello, I’m seeking advice on how best to support my 2 1/2 year-old.

We recently welcomed a new sibling in early July. At the same time, our toddler graduated into an early preschool classroom at their daycare.

The daycare just messaged us, letting us know that the toddler has been going through regression. They are refusing to pull their pants down and up, want to be carried to the potty, and also wish to be carried around from place to place well also having a hard time when I asked to do certain things.

I’m assuming that these behaviors are tied in some capacity to the new baby.

I’m wondering what are ways that I can best support our toddler? What are some resources on building independence and confidence? I’m sure to an extent this is just a phase, but I’m very sad for them.

As the title reads.

I have a 10 day old and from day one we’ve done chest sleeping. (Wedge pillow, arm support, baby at an angle etc)

But it is killing my back being seated upright. I attempted to do a more traditional c-curl/cosleep arrangement on a mattress/futon but babe isn’t having it.

Do I just have to wait it out? Will I ever sleep on my side again?

I’m a high performer and been with my current company for 2 years this July. I’ve consistently hit KPIs, been told I’m a high performer by my boss (“I don’t know what I’d do without you”), and have been rated as “exceeds expectations” in our performance reviews.

I’m 38 weeks pregnant and starting my LOA starting at 39 weeks.

I told my boss I was pregnant at 6 weeks because of fatigue so she’s known for months.

As I’m nearing the end of my pregnancy I’m in constant pain, severe brain fog, discomfort, blah blah blah. The usual.

As we talked through my transition plan 2 weeks ago she panicked that I was taking my leave at 39 weeks. She apologized for her reaction, we had a good plan blah blah blah. (She asked “you’re coming back right?”)

Turns out our business is picking up and essentially we’re busier than originally planned while I’m out.

I had another 1:1 with my boss today and she mentioned how much I’m getting done this week and the energy and that she was worried because she senses I was disconnected/burnt out over the last couple weeks and that it had been noted by other people, she asked if I was coming back and would understand if I wanted to stay home with two babies and I just felt so confused and frustrated. (I have been trying to offload work and have been more disconnected this last month, I’ll admit)

I really like my job. I like my company. I explained to her I’m just pregnant and it’s exhausting but I walked away feeling so guilty and that I shouldn’t be taking this time off. It’s hard too cause I’m the primary income earner in our household.

I dunno I’m just disappointed. We’ve had a good relationship in the past. She doesn’t have kids and I know is navigating fertility issues. So maybe that’s at play?

Sigh, just needed to vent.
