Yes! I have separation anxiety just from leaving them to go to work I can’t even begin to imagine what these families are experiencing right now. I keep thinking that I need to be doing more and can’t help but feel like everyone should be just as outraged

Yes, I’ve done the same and shared easy ways to contribute on my social media channels to help spread the word. It’s just so tragic. I read about kids having to change a toddlers diaper themselves and I just can’t!

There are so many children and yes I’ve been reading that they don’t have a system in place to really reunite them. Can you imagine what that must feel like. Just torture! ☹️😭

Same here. I try going about my day and am baffled at how we can just go about our day normal as if this isnt the first step in some sort of genocide.

I wrote to my rep & senator and donated to RAICES. I don’t know what else to do. It feels so powerless. Looks like trump is about to end it but what about all those babies already in custody? And apparently they don’t have a good tracking system? I just don’t understand how people are ok with this.

I hardly slept and it shows. It is just beyond horrible what we have done to those babies.

Totally distracted. Cried on and off all day about it.

Yes. Up all night. And the night before that.

Yes, same! I hardly slept last night and couldn’t stop thinking about it all day. I donated to RAICES and am glad to see an executive order has finally been made. Now all I think we can do is hope the administration and congress can get the families united quickly. 💔

Ugh yes!!!

All I can do is picture my 4 yo son crying for me and not understanding what's happening. Truly monstrous and horrifying.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Which companies have best WLB, least stressed DS/DA roles?

Doesn’t have to be high-paying, as long as it can support my life (single) and long-term medical cost. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

Folks, has anyone encountered anxiety twitching and how did you deal with it? Apparently there is a term for this when I googled, I get nervous easily in general and started having face twitching from time to time in vid calls, which was so awful even tho I tried my best to hide 😭

I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify
