Do you believe that you should be giving it your all where you work or should you do just enough in order to get your promos and raises? I feel like I’ve become so cynical with corporate work that I lean towards the second unless there’s a project I’m working on that I’m actually invested in.

I would like to say I'm always giving it my all, but in all honesty some projects just don't require that. But when the projects are engaging I will do all I can to throw myself into them. I'd also say I'm somewhat cynical about corporate work and realize you can be treated shabbily at any time, up to an including being laid off. But as long as the work is interesting I'm more or less content.

Yea that's sort of the way I feel too. Being interested in the work is actually so helpful in wanting to do the work and it makes giving more effort way easier. Still have to always look out for yourself though and not overexert knowing that most of the time you're expendable

Been getting some interesting ads in Georgia. Got a letter about how Jon Ossoff is going to destroy Georgia’s economy and attacking him and his character. This was generated by David Perdue.

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out. I have been designing professionally now for just over 15 years now. I work very quickly and very well with other team members. I also take on freelance work. I’m married with 2 kids so the more work the better.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
