Dentsu installing their own web browser extension as a spying mechanism, how are you feeling?

Seems like an invasion of privacy if you ask me…

Unfortunately there is no such thing as corporate privacy. Their equipment (and their software running on said equipment). I mean staff like call center reps have lived this kind of life for a long time. There has been a complete erosion of any kind of rarified "knowledge work" class. Everyone is viewed as something disposable to be controlled, quantified and "managed" in the most cost effective, automated way. I'm about 5 years from retirement, cannot wait for this to end and feel like a human again.

America has no protections for employees at all unless you’re in a union. I wish I thought of that when I was younger.

Welcome to corporate life. Every major company does this.

It is Densu’s equipment. They can do whatever they want. If you stick with only using it for work related stuff you should be fine. Use your personal equipment for anything else. Most companies allow for ‘light’ use of company equipment for personal matters but that’s at your risk.

Most companies don’t have time or resources to manage everyone’s use on a granular level but broad oversight. Like if you are looking at xxx sites that’s a fast red flag vs using Gmail to coordinate a fantasy football league.

Just use common sense. Don’t do anything stupid.

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.
