It would probably help if you provided some info. What are you into? Last book you read/movie you saw? General details about you (age, relationship status, parenthood (kids, pets, both, something else entirely), hobbies etc.) And the area you're from (in the city, in the 'burbs, which county, etc.). Whatever works to make folks feel like you might be compatible.

Hi! Anyone has leads/connection for mid-level designer looking for remote job? I’ve only been in my company for a year but it has been so toxic (ex: we get last minute requests so many million times and many layoffs with no announcements or update from directors). I appreciate it! Thank you!!

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
