Advertising today is too progressive for Christmas parties. Too many liability risks between the drinking and the possible harassment suits from whiny millennials.

No matter how hard you try it will never be like it was a long time ago. (Off the charts WILD.)

It's cheaper and also added benefit can be better attendance because many employees complain that company holiday parties in Dec just add to their stressful and already booked schedule. Not that your agency sounds like that was the reason they care about lol. "To focus on work" is so cheer devoid - they could've easily said something else that's more uplifting instead

Mid-20s M looking to purchase first nice watch. Choosing between the Panerai Luminor 722 and Omega Seamaster Diver 300m for something of a versatile daily use watch. Both look amazing in their own way; the Omega’s colors are rich and the wave detailing is amazing, while the Panerai’s clean style and unique shape is also appealing. I’d get aftermarket leather / rubber straps for either for versatility. Excluding price as a factor, what are your opinions on which to get?

Hello Sharks,

I have been working for a Jaipur based Digital Marketing Agency for 2.5 years now. Overall I have 5 YoE in the industry.

I tired to switch the company for Growth & Learning, Got 60k + WFH offer. My current company matched the offer (60k + WFH). The company helped me a lot in my bad times (Covid, Mom's illness, my operation etc).
Can I think of switching the company after 6 months and expect 90k-100 from the next company?
