Why would leadership bring in freelancers when they’ll just continue doubling our hours and workload at no extra cost to profit margins?

There will be a flurry of freelance needs in Jan. So many people gone. So many client needs. If the Omnilords don’t pony up to support then there will be lots of rage quitting.

ECD it’s ridiculous how happy your comment made me. Like, oh? January is going to be busy? Everything is going to be okay. Phew!

Yesterday, we officially released the first version of Critter, a new app for iOS & Android geared toward pet owners/people who help take care of your pets. The basic idea is to make it simple to manage and share pet care with a mobile platform for tracking and communicating care updates.

It’s simple: add your pets. Invite people who help with their care (family, friends, professionals). Build a care plan. Track and share updates/pics/docs/etc.

Had such a great interview with an agency this morning. Then I look at their Glassdoor and it's horrible reviews- like the opposite of what the recruiter and group account director told me.

What do I do? I have a really good gut feeling about this but now scared from Glassdoor. UGH finding a job is so hard.
