After five years, it was decided -- time to go freelance.

I walked into HR, said, "What's up?" and they said, "your role was impacted by budget cuts, so we're going to have to lay you off."

Do someone know about CVS health project in CTS? Can you guys tell me is it a good one?

Is the way to train managers changing? I’m familiar with a cohort model where a group of new managers meet in person, and then go through some classes together over a period of 2-6 months. Is there a better or new model that people are using?

Help me save the day: have a massive excel file (600k rows) with duplicate records (column a, b and c are duplicate, not a duplicate if a and b are the same though). How can I filter for just these records? If it didn’t crash excel I could concat into one column, Conditional format for duplicates, and sort by color. What’s a work around?

Am I the only one who’s bothered and slightly worried about the EV trend. The imminent death of ICE is kinda sad. I saw a Porsche 964 EV conversion video the other day, fast car sure but no soul 😔🥲

Hoping to get some guidance... I'm a 3rd year PI associate at a boutique firm.. looking to transition to an in-house position. Is that realistic? Any specific in-house positions where my skills would translate?

Any consulting -> Tech sales people out there? Curious how consulting experience is perceived both from a compensation and placement standpoint in the tech world…? What should my expectation be? For context — I SDR’d as a senior in college and was promoted to AE right as I took a BA offer from McKinsey. Wanted to get broad exposure & become a more analytical problem solver… dont regret my decision at all but really loved sales and would like to get back around my 2-3 yr mark.

@Quest Diagnostics
I have been a phlebotomist for the last three and a half years with quest. I have over 20 years of experience. And have been trying to transfer to a different state. I believe that I am being blocked from my transfer even though my manager approves it on paper. Is there any way I can find this out. If I can't successfully transfer I may have to look for work outside of my current employer.

@Long-time creative freelancers, please enlighten the masses about why you might make a better staff hire than say, someone with nearly all staff role experience. Help clear up this weird prejudice.

Surprise and delight. I can’t help but not feel the sexual undertones when I read or say it.

So how much money did Jim Carey get for his Super Bowl spot? Guesses?

Like I’m sure many of you, I’m tired of the word “empower.” But the thesaurus isn’t really giving me anything that feels right. Have you seen any unique or more authentic alternatives?

Can you tell / sense that you’ll get the job after an interview?

Manager asked me to give him formal upward feedback. Everyone in the firm hates him. Let loose the cannons or diplomacy?

Crazy week last week. Not a damn thing to do today.

Just got turned down for a job I really wanted. No interview. I even had a referral, but they didn't even look at my book! Feeling empty and worthless right now. I know I have inherent value as a human being but I am so desperate to succeed and can't seem to catch a break. Just wanted to vent. Thank you for reading.

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.

How do you go about this? Do you just swallow your pride and just take the paycheck? Try to fight for it tooth and nail while you still can?

Most exotic work travel destination you've ever gone to and for what brand or client?

Been thrust into being a hyper-consumer recently. Holy shit, every "disruptive" store is the same (Casper, joybird, etc etc). This is a boring age of design and iconography.

if you receive an offer and give the standard two weeks notice, but the two weeks overlap with some scheduled holiday PTO, what would you do? extend the notice?

Anyone work at a boys club? How does a female break through if you're not into politics and playing games.

Men 🐟: Is the unwritten rule of urban spacing dead?! Too many guys ponying up nice and close lately. Ladies, do you have any similar unwritten rules of the bathroom?

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?
