is it easier to be a bad strategist than a bad creative?

my opinion: in the end, the creative is the output and the public is rarely aware of the strategy (unless it’s good).

good strategy helps make good creative. bad strategy forces creatives to pick up the slack.

I’ll probably be alone this Christmas and I’ve been living alone during Covid. I’ve been fine and done tons of hobbies but thinking about spending the holidays alone is getting to me. Anyone else feeling this? I feel like telling my family I don’t want to join any zoom things and just skip Christmas this year. I’m mentally exhausted.

Do you think differently about the way you look, or are you more aware how your face actually looks, since you’re seeing yourself on zoom so much? And are you like me, so self-conscious that you only look at yourself the whole zoom call?

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.

Just started a new gig this week and the workload is slow, so I figure we should make the most of this downtime.

My teammate and I haven’t worked together on anything yet. We’ve talked on zoom before and have texted and called occasionally.

I’m hoping we can become familiar with each other and get that creative back and forth going. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for activities or creative exercises?

I'm so burnt out.

But I feel guilty because compared to how hard some of my team is working, I don't feel justified in being burnt out as they're doing and contributing so much more. I know if I ask for help or more balance, I'll get it but it just means my team suffers more and takes on my slack.

How do you navigate? I'm starting to seriously under perform and there's no end in sight.

Just read about Salesforce takeover of Slack for $27.7bn (54% premium and 26x sales NTM), and the subsequent reaction of Salesforce stock -10%

Salesforce is trying to compete with Microsoft, which offers teams bundled with O365 for free, however, the PF rev is only 40% of the MSFT commercial cloud business

The price seems exaggerated, but given the massive potential synergies + impressive unit economics of slack, why has the market reacted so poorly?

Was it a bold move from Salesforce?

A little thrown off: hiring manager reached out on linkedin asking if I'd be interested in a role. I obviously thought first would be a recruiter screening but turned out it was a zoom interview with the HM herself. I was not prepared at all, had only prepped for basic HR/why this company questions. Longest half hour in my life. At the end she asked me the typical HR/visa/salary req q's as well, it seems like she is doing everything for recruiting. Is this bizarre or just me
