I was told I could not get a freelance gig because it involved a lot of Instagram and “people your age are not native on Instagram.“ I was told this by a 30-ish year-old creative director and she said it with a straight face

funny

I’m appalled.

Microaggressions. Every. DAMN. Day.

Surprisingly, no. And I’m 60

Yes however it was covert and under the line of actionable. Sadly, it is extremely difficult to prove.

Yes several times

Yep. A few times. There’s a creative that loves saying “ok grandpa” to anyone over 40.

Go to human resources and the president of the agency immediately. Put it in writing. You should not have to feel that way. You should not have to go home at night pissed off. And this person will keep doing it the rest of your career without some first step of discipline. Man up and do it. Or woman up. No assumptions

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Why we gotta have resumes, just trust me bro...

Hi all, curious to know if you’ve heard of my company SparkOptimus. We are quite famous in the Netherlands apparently (acc to colleagues and clients lol) but want to know if the mojo is true in the wider Dutch consulting community.

Our CEO spoke out against a local hate group and we’re now being targeted by trolls. My job went from amazingly fun to super depressing overnight. How can I bounce back?
