Still have PTSD. The most horrible people and account I have ever worked on. One client got laid off and reached out to me for help. He admitted they were awful before seeing if I could help him strategize his next move. He got the job and I never even got a thank you. Burned me twice. Never again. His karma payback is increasing by the day.

My friend worked client side for Microsoft a few years ago. She always felt awful for the agency as they never gave clear direction

YES, their retail team is full of a bunch of entitled dumbasses who talk big but don't know a damn thing. Every meeting and email is full of marketing buzzword soup and then when you push for clear direction they/she shuts down like a child. Pardon my venting but this #%&$@ needs to get a clue and not waste our time and then fight us on our monthly bill and rates she signed off on.

FML.

And this accent clients southern accent on calls makes me want to throw her out a window.

Sorry, that's petty.

Internally they jockey for power and psych each other out...it’s their competitive culture, so by the time it gets to the vendors - they are power hungry, abusive monsters! They use any means to belittle you, put you down, attempt to place you in a compromised position, etc to save a few pennies or just get their way for no reason. Hierarchical to the core. And not an ounce of creativity. Just abuse. Run! Also - the company ruined Seattle for good. The whole city is a subservient to Microsoft and so their culture contaminated the vibe there - sadly. It was a much cooler city before the advent of ms.

For people in this bowl who argued that volatility would drop as last week progressed, nice call👏! But curious as to what the thought process is, especially given the volatile earnings season, rising # of cases, weakness in improving economic data. Did not expect UVXY to fall as much as it did last well, can anyone explain if they expect this to continue these next few weeks/why this happened last week?

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
