It’s just one of those back to back meeting days. But what kills me is after a meeting they want to connect again...JUST SPOKE...WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT?! Why didn’t they just say it on the call?! I’m mentally exhausted from talking so much 😩

Say no. Ask if it can covered over an email. Don't hesitate to give yourself space to let steam off. Don't take on CD level stress until you have CD level salary.

If you’re WFH, just say you had WiFi problems and took a while to reboot everything.

Block time off in your calendar to get writing done. It's understandable to not be able to respond to something right away while you're working. Or, respond and be like "I can look at this in about an hour" and then turn off the notifications for the chat

Oh I do! They just ignore it 🙃

I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?

I’m a recent grad & began my first career as a marketing coordinator. It’s been quite frustrating to say the least. The company doesn’t understand the purpose of marketing, & recently hopped into the digital world - many of which don’t find it valuable. On the other hand, my manager assigns me lots of copy projects to do & either doesn’t give me informational feedback or completely disregards my work. Before I was hired, she knew exactly how my writing style was like but doesn’t use it. Help! :(

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

I got placed at an agency to freelance for a few weeks by Creative Circle. Im not ‘on call’ so im only charging for the hours im actually working.
