l’ve known they use in-house without retouching out 3rd-party marks since before l started and l’m making sure they do now, but l keep happening upon Easter eggs of surprise like this.

A couple weeks ago, l found out we don’t even have rights to our own product design so we could get sued for photography of our own freaking product. It’s incredible (and sad). 😑 haha

Oh, l know. I’m trying to right the ship as much as l can. I’ve almost rage quit more days than not in the 1.5 months l’ve been there, but there are pretty much no jobs in the area l live in (moved to). Def no agencies.

Just found out today that the marketing team has no idea if the branding agency they hired purchased rights to the stock photos we’re using on our revised site that’s going live in less than a week. They just “assumed.” 😑 They (marketing team) doesn’t even like the images. (So why the fuck are we using them?!) Kill me.
