Anyone else become more socially awkward since WFH? I feel like if I went RTO I’d really just constantly unintentionally embarrass myself.

Haha I felt the same way. I never realized how much socializing I did at the office until I started working from home. I'm so used to working in silence and not interacting with anyone these days that I feel awkward and out of practice whenever we do have meetings.

lol yes. I moved to a new state 2 years ago and have had to make friends the old fashioned way. I’ve done well, strangely enough. But now I am about to start a new hybrid role and that’s my biggest concern.

It does take some adjustment. When I starting working remotely I really had problems with it, it was just too distracting trying to work in my own home. But over time that flipped, and I became more productive in relative isolation. When I had to return to the office, it was like everything annoyed me. I was so used to having everything the way I wanted it. But, like anything else, I got used to it. It's kind of remarkable how adaptable we can be.

I probably am more awkward, but I think I’m just more self conscious if anything. I felt really weird and awkward having everything on the computer and not face to face, zoom meetings and the like. I felt way more comfortable in person, now that's flip flopped since working remote

I feel like more socially selective is how I feel :) being stuck in social situations I didn’t ask for irritates me so I just try to pick and choose what I attend in person to avoid being around others that bug me. I did have to re-learn how to put together an actual outfit (not just shoulders up on zoom!) and have less patience for people I don’t like (just make an effort to not attend things when the group isn’t worth it to me).

I did! I ended up getting a side gig in retail just so I could practice how to have a conversation to prep for being RTO at the beginning of this year. It helped IMMENSELY. idk how I forgot how to have Casual conversations with people but you don’t need to do what I did.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
