“That’s a great idea, let’s use it for social,” is basically code for, “I’m only interested in my 15 minute film that no one will watch idea, but thanks for playing.”

Insurance question. Change to husband’s insurance which has higher premiums but no deductible and 100% coverage for certain services. Or stay on my high deductible plan with large deductible but I have the HSA? Other option would be just to move kids to my husbands, they use a decent amount of healthcare between doctors and therapists, and keep myself on high deductible so that I can contribute to HSA (although firm match may be lower).

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
