I spent the week talking to CCOs of some of the top agencies in the US and asked them “what are the top qualities and habits that you look for in a creative?”

Their responses shared a common central theme:

“How did you get my number?!”

“Get off my porch before I call the police.”

“My Ring doorbell isn’t a Zoom call. Leave!”

Why would you communicate concisely,
when you can
send
as many messages

as you gather your thoughts
so others have to hear that ping

Hi maybe someone can give me some insight. I would really appreciate some feedback. So about a month ago I received an email from a manager telling me that my resume was forwarded to her and she would’ve loved to set up an interview. The interview was done via zoom I thought it went well . I was then scheduled for 2nd interview that went well also . A week after the second interview I sent her an email for a follow up she responded and said that they were gonna make a decision that Friday.

What are the best WFH laptops, or laptops you hate and would avoid at all costs?
Contract company has me on a loaner Lenovo think pad that doesn’t work well. The performance suffers when im both on virtual desktop and zoom, so I have to use an iPad to zoom otherwise my audio cracks out. I’ll be buying a new laptop soon and need ideas. Ideally around or under $1,500 - I do get some reimbursement so money isn’t a deciding factor.

I have a Skype meeting with a recruiter regarding a SOC Analyst 1 (WAF) role. I know they’ll ask me about compensation. I’m not sure what the going salary is or how to go about answering the question without scaring them away. — I’m currently a DoD IT Specialist and this would be my first role in cyber. I meet the requirements for qualifications - about 50-60%. I have a Bachelors in Business and Masters in Cybersecurity with a focus on Threat Detection as well as come entry level certs.

I didn’t get paid today. If payday (the 15th) is Monday, I get paid Saturday. Plus, my bank has been paying me 1 day early for months. My friend at another company (same bank), got paid yesterday. Slack’d my manager, they didn’t get paid either. Coworker, same company, on a different team got paid.

I emailed payroll although it’s Saturday. I work for a 2k person tech comp. Called my bank & no check has been sent. Thoughts? I have money in savings but how can I NOT go tf off about this?

I want to crawl into a hole and hide after every meeting.

After I leave Zoom, I'm left alone with my thoughts and all I can do lament about how I talked too much, too little, said the wrong thing, laughed inappropriately, and how everyone probably hates me because of The Way I Am and I'm on the verge of getting fired.

I have an supportive team and boss but I can't help thinking everyone is silently judging me and talking about how awful I am behind my back.

I have also tried to use ‘text to columns’ to convert them, which causes Excel to crash. This is a small data set, less than 100 lines. Any suggestions? Can share the file if needed.

Hi there - my company is returning to office next month. Hybrid to begin before they ramp up to 5 days back in office by end of year.

I think the fact they want to bring us back 5 days is disrespectful considering how much work we’ve put in remotely over the last year. Not to mention productivity studies say people who WFH (and have no kids) are substantially more productive.
