My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.

I am a Sales Support Engineer (Applications Engineer) with 2 YOE. I am thinking about making a change because my job is no longer challenging, and there isn’t much growth opportunity in my company. I love my team, but I feel like I may need to move on. I am at 70k a year and have been told time and time again that I have learned faster than anyone they have seen and am a top performer. I don’t feel like I am being compensated for that either. Any suggestions on companies and target salaries?

Been practicing complex lit (employment and consumer class/representative actions) on the plaintiff side for last 6 years of my 7 year career. Just accepted a defense side offer, with a billable requirement/initial bonus eligibility of 1750 hours. I know billing is different on the defense side than simply recording hours toward a lodestar on the plaintiff side. How many "real" total hours is 1750 billable hours? I know it's supposed to be relatively low, but not sure what it really means?

I've never read an advertising book and would consider it a personal failure if I did for any reason.

Was it just me or did DT seem legit scared in his press conf today? Like not his usual “if you even dare question me “ and nothing seemed “terrific” or “incredible” anymore

I just thought I won a $1000 for life lottery... but really I just won another free ticket ugh. I was already preparing to live the Pretty Woman life sans man, with my girlfriend instead. Dammit

Sometimes I feel like people at my company are catty about me not participating in “fun” group activities but I simply don’t have time to due to deadlines and it’s taking a toll on my mental state.

I like my own fishbowl comments

When people ask me where I’m from and I tell them Russia, after the standard “does everyone drink vodka?” “is it cold in Russia?” there is the “are you a spy?” And it gets awkward because someone from my family was, so I tell them the truth “if I tell you, you might not see tomorrow” and we all laugh... but for different reasons.

Got a promotion without a salary increase. Has anyone heard of such a thing? Feels like a giant slap in the face. Time to go?

My partner started watching videos about guns, first person shooter games, and hitler. Every single day during his lunch. At his desk. In an open office. Am I being sensitive or is that SUPER weird??

Making small talk with my exterminator:

"Terrible out, right? Raining for days, I haven't left the house."
"You don't work?"
"Oh I work from home."
"So... You're doing what you would have done anyways then, stay home?"

Really tired of the job tier/level structure at agencies, and how they’re used to determine respect given

1 year, 3 months and 22 days later, I’m employed👌. Easiest year of my life.

“There’s no way they licensed this sound effect.” See also: Something I just thought to myself while watching porn. Does anyone else have their advertising brain turn on at this kind of moment? 😞

Found out a person that has been my mentor for years has been gossiping & ridiculing me behind my back - mutualfriend sent me screenshots of emails sent to her. It hurts. Mentor is a WOC and so am I.

I'm tired of "pushing boundaries." I just want to do work that's good enough.

Not sure if my recent self-loathing is industry related or my new personality.

I feel like I’m never doing enough for my career. Im way behind where I want to be and don’t know how to fix it.

Never drinking anything at our agency that comes out of a pitcher. Accidentally got drunk after three glasses. Was not planning on it. FML

The pain of niceties when coming back to the office after some time away is making me rethink my embrace of extended remote work stints. If staying in the office means I have to talk to you less...

Just recently switched from “Thanks” to “Best” in my email sign offs and am really feeing like I’ve been missing A LOT in life.

I’ll never go “cheers” though.
