Anyone else notice how the small talk before a zoom call stopped the past few weeks?

Need a suggestion for a secret Santa gift for a female Chinese coworker. We don't work together, so your guess is as good as mine.

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

My SO will put me on the spot sometimes (he is an extrovert) and say just talk to me (it will just be us two). He generally talks a lot and me so much. The second he says that my mind goes blank and for the life of me I can't remember anything to talk about. It's like stage fright. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this?

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Real estate help: Boyfriend and girlfriend buy a home together with a loan from bank. Boyfriend and girlfriend are now separated and both agree that girlfriend will live somewhere else. Both agree that they would like to take girlfriend off the deed but also off the hook with lender bank. What would you do in this situation as attorney for girlfriend?

Is anyone noticing keyword manipulation (price hikes) for search campaigns or fake traffic/bots hitting their remarketing campaigns on Google Ads? I seem to be experiencing a bunch right now

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

Great halftime show, Telemundo!

What does it mean when you still see a job link being re-posted, after you’ve had several rounds of seemingly positive interviews for that specific job?

Hello! What is the best way to structure a discovery call for SaaS sales? e.g. share a deck, only focus on their use case (current state, goals, pain, etc.), share a story, etc. Lastly, how do you go further than surface level, like if they mention they are having issues with xyz, which is usually a symptom of the problem and not the problem itself. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

I hate that I feel sad I’ve never had my work enter for awards. My feed is flooded with everyone’s success. Should this define me? Why do I care so much when there are bigger problems in the world?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

I promise you, whatever you have to tell me as I sit down with my lunch is not as important as eating my lunch.

Best (non-agency) company to work at in Boston??

This is my first post on here as an ACD! Who else is rolling into 2022 with a promotion?

The agency I work at has been struggling for more than 1.5 years. A mass exodus ensued naturally. Do I stay or go too? I'm not that unhappy and things have to get better?

Besides salary, how to pick between job offers?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.
