Group Chats Control and Power Hungry Admins


Today I had an eye-opening experience that says a lot about how “group chats” are being run—and why so many people feel like they’re going in circles instead of moving forward.

I was in a group chat where job postings get shared daily. On the surface, that sounds great. But I asked a simple, honest poll: Are people actually getting interviews or jobs from these postings? That’s not negativity, that’s accountability.

The post was deleted by an admin
So I wrote another message asking why transparency was such a threat. Deleted again.
And then? I was removed from the group altogether.

Let that sink in. In a space that’s supposed to help people find work, the idea of measuring actual results was treated like rebellion. That’s not leadership—that’s control.

The kicker came when a job ad was posted with a broken email address. Someone pointed it out, and the admin’s response was basically: “Not my problem, I just share what I get.” That’s like a chef serving you spoiled food and shrugging: “I just cooked what was in the fridge.”

Here’s the truth:

  • People deserve real opportunities, not recycled posts.

  • Job seekers need more than just leads—they need answers, clarity, and feedback.

  • Employers like myself are also in these groups, looking for talent. A one-sided, closed-minded setup doesn’t help anyone.

Deleting posts and silencing questions doesn’t protect people—it just shows insecurity and hunger for control. And if that’s the system, then no wonder so many are still unemployed despite all these “opportunities” being pushed daily.

That’s why I’ve decided to flip the script and create a new space: Jobs That Work.
A community where job seekers and employers can connect openly, where questions aren’t deleted, and where we measure what really matters: results.

Because at the end of the day, if people aren’t being hired, then what’s the point of calling it a jobs group?

Pot, Poker, and Priorities: When a Community Bets Against Its Own Future

Image
There’s a mind-boggling trend happening in some communities: a baffling choice to legalize marijuana and gambling while rejecting or indefinitely delaying infrastructure projects like cruise ship facilities that could bring sustainable, long-term economic growth. One has to pause and ask — where did this type of thought process even come from? How did the priorities get so inverted? Let’s call it what it is: a bet on instant gratification over generational progress. The Economics of Escapism Marijuana and gambling are often marketed as economic stimulants — easy tax revenue, job creation, tourism magnets. But these industries primarily cater to escapism . They thrive not on productivity but on indulgence. And while there may be short-term wins in licensing fees or increased consumer spending, they are also tied to social costs: addiction, crime, healthcare strain, and a distracted workforce. Now, compare that to a cruise facility — a gateway to tourism dollars, entrepreneurship, cu...

When Owing You Money Isn’t a Crime… Until You Try to Get It Back

Image
Let’s talk about one of the biggest jokes in “justice” — when someone owes you money, refuses to pay, and somehow you have to cough up even more money just to hire a lawyer and maybe get it back. We’re told it’s “ civil, not criminal .” Translation: “Yes, we agree they owe you. Yes, they’re refusing to pay. But no, we won’t lift a finger unless you bring us a shiny lawsuit wrapped in legal fees.” Here’s the insanity: If you take a loaf of bread from a store without paying, the police will be at your door before you’ve finished your sandwich. If someone takes thousands from you, signs a contract , admits the debt , and then ghosts you — suddenly the law treats it like a polite disagreement between friends. The logic? Non-existent. The message? Clear: The system doesn’t care unless there’s a criminal code number they can quote. The Injustice Loop They owe you money. You can’t get it without a lawyer. The lawyer costs more than the debt is worth. You’re told ...

The first Handshake- Hee hee

Image
In my last post, I shared how powerful it feels to be recognized by someone when traveling — that moment when a familiar face turns a sea of strangers into a sense of belonging. It’s a reminder that we are all nobody until we are somebody to someone. But there’s another kind of recognition that carries just as much impact — meeting someone for the first time in person after years of only chatting online or connecting over video calls. In today’s world, so many of our professional relationships start digitally. We exchange messages on LinkedIn, collaborate on projects over Zoom, or brainstorm ideas through endless email threads. Trust, rapport, and even friendship are built in these virtual spaces long before we ever share the same room. And then one day, it happens. That handshake. That first face-to-face conversation with someone you’ve “known” for years. Suddenly, this person isn’t just a name in your inbox or a voice on a call — they’re real, present, and invested. This ...
