Considering that your holding company decided not to give me more than 10 days of Paid Time Off despite having 8 PLUS years of agency experience, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Paid media, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for my wellbeing.

startup Gig Alert: I am looking for a brand designer to join our startup team at Lifelines (truly a startup and we’re not in stores yet). We’re a product company set for revolutionizing how people approach sensorial wellness and I’m looking for someone with holistic experience in branding / art direction with a clear, bold visual style. Around 5 years of experience preferred. But work and personality trump years in experience. Always remote+unlimited PTO. Send me books / portfolios.

How is RSM PTO? Understand it’s unlimited, which limits more than accrued, but any insight on what you like/dislike?

Hi all,

Can I use my vacation leaves to reduce my notice period?

Thanks in advance!

Planning a trip to Bali with my bf. He’s never been on a long flight like that but we are probably planning a 2week vacation. What areas should we stay at?? we’re beach bums but I also love the forest/Hiking and a big foodie!

I’ll wait till the holiday weekend ends then send out a survey to get an idea of the demographics we have in this group

Any good work holiday party stories? Past or recent?

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

hiya fishes. happy friday! sorry if this isnt the right bowl, but this is in regards to vacation time. i have an interview process starting next week, and wondering when it would be good to mention i would be OOO between the middle of the month in september? its for a week. im unsure if i can twist this to have a start date once im back. going back and forth on being transparent vs. mentioning it later on. thoughts?

Anybody get a hair transplant in nyc and could recommend their doctor? Also would you recommend the procedure and going through the process (i.e., FUE vs FUT vs Bald)?

Also what was the recovery like? Nervous to look even worse as it grows back coming into the office. How much PTO did you take?

Asking for a friend ofc!

Anyone wanna pay for my vacation to Disney world?

California 🐟 does your vacation payout when you leave your job get taxed at regular wage, or bonus, levels? Does your employer have discretion to choose?

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

I feel I have yet to read a bad thing on here from someone at KPMG about KPMG.

Hi folks,
I am working as a Business Analyst with 3.5 YOE and in total 4.9 YOE. I am getting 6.7CTC which felt totally low. If I switch then how much I can expect as a market standard currently. Thanks

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

Dear Creative Directors who’s only talent is showing up to meeting with a full repertoire of buzzwords, die slow. Thanks, everyone.

What’s the email format for le truc? The recruiter there shares a job on LinkedIn yet doesn’t respond there, NOR provide a way to get in touch. The worst.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Finally wrote the 3 social scripts 2 hours before they were due when I was briefed over 2 weeks ago, what are you doing?

Do you guys touch type? How long did it take you to learn? lol

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?

Wet mouth noises...😖😖😖🗯🔥

Should I stay on the advertising side as a creative or pivot to UX and visual design?

Anyone make that switch that could share their experiences?
Or anyone in UX and visual design?

Something I've been curious about: why are we so cautious about asking or talking about our salaries with each other? I've never found it offensive but people think it's weird to ask. Opinions?
