I love how there was a whole discussion about stopping memes and gifs being posted and yet so many of us are still posting them. Hoping we’re not gna get cancelled or banned for this lmao. Lowkey gna try slow down with them for a bit now.

Guys please dont stop the process is already stressful enough as it is and I find many of these types of posts genuinely very entertaining and cheers me up. Also people do not need to read the whole forum anyway if they want to find specific info they can just search the firm on the forum which is what I often do.

Ngl when I’m at work I check the thread here and there rather than my email to get updates (so I can brace myself when I do open my email eventually). People don’t put all the information you need in one post (when they applied, what stage they were at etc) so it leaves me having to scroll through the entire thread for that day just to get all the information that ultimately could’ve been put in one post. But it’s replied to separately with just dates or “post app” which doesn’t pop up when you search a firm name only unfortunately:(

It’s nice to have a cheeky scroll whilst at work to see if people have heard back but most of the time I’m battling trying to scroll through a load of other memes, topics etc whilst hoping my manager doesn’t see the 15 gifs that are most definitely not work related pop up 😭 that’s not to say we should ban them just minimise is possible 😃

Oh wait my point was I do need to read the whole thread 😭 just clarifying incase anymore misreads the above 🫩
