I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Anyone noticed that with aerobic / cardio exercises it gets more difficult to focus? It is like my mind a TV and someone else gets the remote and goes through every channel every 30 seconds or so

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

Anyone here going/gone to Harvard? Curious to know how tough Harvard (mainly MBA) is with ADHD?

About to start Vyvance, when insurance approves the prescription… Traditional stimulants did not work for me. Heard good things. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

Has anyone hired an assistant ( virtual or otherwise) to help them with managing their life? Any tips/tricks/stories? I’m done with myself…..

I’d love to know: how big is your company and how many is in your marketing dept!? I work for a credit union. We have six (almost 8) branches. Three man band marketing team.

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

How many intervals do you have to bill time at? We’re at 15 minutes intervals for professionals and six minutes for admin.

Is it worth it to live in downtown dc? Around penn triangle? Second year atty so working long hours and it’s a short walk from work.

Looking to move to the Dallas Fort Worth area close to June I’m here to network and see it all would welcome me and help me out during my transition

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

What are some good opportunities for growth as a social worker? I've been in the same role for close to ten years, and while I love it, I know I can branch out a bit and probably even increase my salary. What have you all done?

Any recommendation after 13 years experience in data engineering how to hunt job in walmart?

I HATE the term ‘snackable content’. It just makes me angry! My content should be a damn steak dinner.

Wow hate the overuse of “from a ______ perspective"

I make poor decisions

I’m about to switch jobs to my company’s main competitor and move to a new city and I’m so anxious and worried I’m making the wrong choice, anyone else ever get cold feet after signing an offer?

Turned down a gig at Apple two years ago because I saw a lot of growth opportunities at my current company and saw the position as a step back (even though it was more money) and have regretted it ever since. Still in the same exact position at the same company I was then btw. Bad choice.

I love marketing jargon.

Tip o’ the hat to all the SVPs and EVPs who reply all “congrats team, well deserved...” to the email from the client thanking the team for sending out that banner ad expeditiously.

What’s the best/most effective message you’ve gotten from a stranger wanting to network on LinkedIn? The worst?

Does anyone really, really love their job? Or do you just do it to pay bills and get to the weekend? I'm curious how many people actually truly love what they do

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

I don’t get paid to write advertising. I get paid to sit through meetings like these. Kill me.

I think I have ADHD. I’m middle-aged. This has never been a problem for me before, but I’ve taken several screening tests and I’m scoring really high. What do I do?

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

The turkeys nest is where you find inspiration

Should I read anything into the fact that since being laid off I’m finally sleeping well?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Very lucky to have a job. Our team of 9 creatives is now 3. I’m working 12-14 hours with a young child who needs me. Salary cuts to come. I just keep thinking, “The best way out is always through”.

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞

I’m tired of the arrogance and male techno-superiority. Where are the humans with feelings, vulnerability, joy in all of this?

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.
